Why You Should Stop Sports Betting & Gambling by Alexas58: 12:22am On May 04, 2016
8 Reasons why you need to stop sport betting and gambling:

1) Emotional depression and anger
people who are core gamblers are often found to be emotionally depressed when they lose a huge sum of money,and they are always angry when they remember the amount of money they have lost and the meaningful things they could have done with their money,they become depressed again..like my guy tosyne2much anytime his slip cuts he will start fuming and quareling pple up and down.

2) They are never sucessful
i have never seen a man who gambles and is sucessful in life,Gamblers are never sucessful instead the money that they are meant to use to invest into their business.they will use it and go and play bet9ja and loose and come and start wailing.

3) They are always indebted
when they have exhausted the money within their position as a result of loosing massively,they go into borrowing and most times they use their personal belongings as collateral,i have seen where a man staked his wifes pot of soup to gamble and he lost it at the spot.

4) They resort to stealing
when noone agrees to borrow them money again to fufil their gambling desires,cos of the debt they have incured upon themselves,they resort into stealing stuffs so they can sell and get money to gamble.

5) Lying
all gamblers are liers,they can coook up lies to their parents,bosses and even bosses as to avoid questioning on how they spent the money that was given to them.

6) Deteriorates your physical health
If you have been gambling on a regular basis your physical health is at stake. People who gamble impulsively start neglecting their health. Additionally, the stress of the gambling obsession can even cause stress on your heart, particularly after shocking monetary losses. The emotional fall can in fact have an effect on your physical body in negative ways.

7) Losing friends
You might be wondering how this habit of yours will make you lose friends. Well, if you are in a habit of gambling then it is more likely that if not today maybe later you’ll borrow money from them. Chances are you’ll not be able to pay them in time due to frequent losses. This will really cause strain in your relations. In addition, your addiction will make you ignore your friends as you will be preoccupied with gambling. You may then even miss social outings and some very important events.

8} It makes you lose your aim and vision in life
When your life is all about gambling and just gambling, it then becomes your primary activity. All of your vigor, motivation, energy and inspiration are only gambling related and you tend to lose focus on the main aspects of your life. If you have any special talents or hobbies, it is most likely that these hobbies will not be given priority and you’ll choose to ignore them

Op ur very correct. I once lost my school fees thru betting and had to withdraw my admission for one session. Since then, i've never gone back to betting.

----Modified: Dont fall 4 d peeps below claiming dey hav been successful thru sport betting, dats a big lie. U can never be successful thru betting. Punters will never tell u wen dey lost huge amount, but will be very quick to announce to everybody wen dey win. Once i won 27k and went to skul to tell all my friends and dey were hailing me. But when i lost my school fees: 62k, i told no one.

Besides, once you become addicted, you become useless to self, family and society! Please don't comtemplate going into betting and if you are, ask God to take it off your mind and be determined to stop it.

Look for an alternative, but genuine, reliable and Godline means of generating Passive income...this is your only guranteed means of becoming wealthy and happy in life!

Cheers!

Spot on OP... I'm coming


9. You Become a Wailer


When you lose a huge sum of money you ought to have used for other productive and profitable things, remorse sets in... You will start wailing like PDP tyrants on nairaland, hence, venting your anger at any slight provocation on those who weren't even there when you were perming your matches


No matter how much we embellish football betting it will never change the fact that it's not a good thing for a man with prospects.


Even if there's need to bet, moderation is the key


May God deliver WE youths from this addiction.. #nobody holy pass#

mumu talk, why don't you just stake for fun, rather staking to make millions overnight.
just what you can afford to lose, nothing more nothing less...
I play bet with fun, it is what I can afford to lose without constipation, if I win, I don't double my stake.
The only dangerous thing to me is checking live score every minutes, I only check my history BET WON, fine; Bet is placed and match has finish then garri don pass water...


and the worrisome thing is playing fast money virtual, that is not fun and should be banned outright and I have never seen some body post virtual tips here

in the meantime Madrid machester BTTS NO

stake for fun? Are you serious. Except you don't get your money through hardwork. There is no such thing as staking for fun. Every one that bets does so to earn more money.

OP you are a big hypocrite!

Same nigga that I have seen on the sexuality section on countless occassions, is the one spewing this thrash undecided


Condemning sport betting in it's entirety will amount to pouring the bathe water away with the baby. There are fundamental rules which one must adhere strictly to in sports betting, lest he becomes bankrupted and addicted. For the avoidance of any doubt, betting isn't bad in it self, it is the addiction that makes it a bad venture.


People who view betting as a means of getting rich, like the dude up there who brillantly donated his school fees to Pa Alabi Foundation, are the ones who very often than not, end up experiencing all the OP highlighted in his post.


Similar argument can be put forward in defence of the sexuality section. It isn't bad visiting that section, but the moment you get addicted to visiting there, the vaseline ministry will welcome you with much ease.

An acquaintance lost a job to sport bet.
Dude was unfortunate to win once and thought to himself he could make more money from it than his job.
He ended up using the money his boss sent him to collect on a seemingly sure game.

All your points are shitty except depression claim,

Do it sensibly and accept that your stake is gone
already, if you now win it shocked shocked shocked shocked, you can feel cool cool cool cool and celebrate wink wink cheesy cheesy grin grin .....
