Stop Gambling, Bet9ja Virtual Almost Destroyed My Future by datgoaldigger1(m): 8:42pm On May 26, 2017
Recently I read a story of a guy who lost 300K to bet9ja and immediately it got right to my soul because I have been in that same predicament although it was not as much as 300K.
I started betting about 2yrs ago.When I started at first I used the normal #100 naira bets to play sometimes I won sometimes I lost but I wsnt really loosing cuz it WS just #100 but being a human being and hearing of how people win big Greed crept in
My first big bet I used 6K to play it and it entad I WS happy thinking that I had finally found the way to chop bet9ja so I started using biggr money to play and obvious with betting I began loosing and every better knows that when you loose money your first thought is I must RECOVER, mind you all these where life games
I started playing virtual after right in front someone won 22K with correct score so I switched to VIRTUAL That WS were the beginning of my doom started.
I lost so much in virtual,not just my money but most importantly time because you have to be there to watch ur games.Can remember the day we just got back from Villa and I carried the 10K I gt from relatives to a bet9ja shop I left there with 100naira
I think a worse scenario was when I was to travel home from school but I had a low battery and decided to charge my phone In a bet shop from there I saw one game I thought I had seen before I come play am correct score ,they played 0-0 I used my last card to play that game. I did something I had Neva done bfre I began begging fr money luckily I saw a friend of mine collected money and began my journey to Enugu. It WS on the journey I realized that I WS wasting my life
Not only was I spending money but also valuable time in bet9ja shops I did so many things unimaginable to gt money only to go back and loose it again.
I have sworn to stay off gambling even na #100 game so far I've been clean fr 2weeks hope I can leave forever this dreadful habit. If you are not a gambler take it from me do not enter
When it hit the most was when one bet9ja operator told me "Hey bro how far we Neva see you since" that was after I travelled fr a week

We don't need your miserable advice... Do we look like gamblers... This is family section.we attend to more important issues.
Maybe you should take your thread to sports or even romance section,you will see so many bandwagon youths.

It might seem like big money but that natural tendency in humans to gt something without effort will creep in again and you will go back and this time you might not be so lucky

There are better ways of registering your displeasure to other people's stance without being derogatory. Especially when the person is not mentioning you directly.

Peace.

Datgoaldigger1, thank you for sharing that story about Gambling and Addiction. I'm glad you got out on time. It will be tough and there will be a lure to enter back into that lifestyle. Nobody can control and addiction and that is what makes it so hard, that you feel you can be in control.

Please, keep posting and sharing here. If you feel the need to go back to the Betting Store, sign in and post here. I unfortunately won't be able to monitor you, but I will try and get as many eyes here on it, so they can always speak to you until the craving and urge passes. You can find ways to immerse yourself in a hobby to keep you from being idle. Stay strong, Brother.

Distraction helps. He will need to find something else to focus his attention on, something he is passionate about would be best.
It is difficult not to think about something and eventually be tempted but it is easier to replace these thoughts with something else, less harmful and more rewarding.

How are you Onegai? Hope, all is well? Kuddos to your lil princess.

Datgoaldigger1,it's a good thing you've made the move to stay off gambling/betting.It's really not a way to build wealth except for the betting company owners.
You're a student from your post.Occupy yourself with your studies and some extracurricular activities like sports and spirituality.
Most importantly,don't roll with guys who are into it.

Onegai,how're you and yours?

So you won a lot of money and right now you are saying how cool you are? Yeah? You know, it's hard to say, but I think that there are a lot of different situations in life when people lose or win. However, I think it depends on self-respect. Yeah, there are a lot of casinos that can give different offers. Some of them work from underground and can't actually give the normal offers but I prefer to choose casinos that can give me ongoing bonuses and exclusive promotions and even fast and secure payment options. Right now I speak about africacasinos that gave me self-respect. So I think that gambling is like an art, you know.
Could you tell me some more information about it? Let’s talk in PM
