sad Even though I'm a born again Christian, I think you are suffering from spiritual attacks. We Christians tend to gamble more because our religion is very permissible and habours many bad acts unlike our Muslim brothers who are guided by the tenets of Islam. sad

Is it everything u must do that ur taqiya

Sometimes i just smile when people complain about betting or gambling... In everything we do , there is risk. How do you expect to win when all you play is virtual games or accumulator ticket.
Work smart or bet smart. Play single game even na #400 u wan gain, na money. Na greedy person go wan chop #1m with #100

U guys should stop painting betting as an abominable act.
One problem u guys fail to understand about betting is
1. Don't take betting as an alternative means of survival
2. Bet wit what u can afford to loss. E. G. Let's say, weekends, if u are d type that spends maybe 5k for faji (5k depending on individual capability) that's spare money, u can bet wit some part of it, not using your transport and feeding money for d week to bet.
3. Never bet all d time but guys won't listen, they always bet every blessed day which is very very wrong.
In all, to me betting is fun.
in others words, don't be addicted to betting...

there’s nothing like bet what you can afford to lose o . Best thing is to do away with betting , no matter what , even if you’re a billionaire, if you lose 100 naira to betting , deep down inside you , you will feel defeated and want to try more to recoup your lost or to prove a point. I’ve been there but I thank God I got over it

I neither encourage or discourage betting sir. I was only saying d facts about betting. Betting is not and should never be for d poor or those struggling.
D major problem most punters hv is that "I want to use 100 to win 1 million" which d chances are very very slim.
like I said earlier, my money is still in betking,bet9ja, sportybet and Betpawa but for the past 3 weeks,I hv not being betting.

I just want to share my story to the world.
When I graduated, I was so blessed that I didn’t hurt for job, before I got one. I was working in the bank and was paid well, within a year I rented an apartment and got married, things was falling in place and I felt on top of the world before I started gambling, how I started it, I can’t explain. I lost all my resources and money within two years, I was sacked eventually and life became worst for me.
I got another job and promised my wife, family and kids to be a responsible father, but the urge for gambling keep coming, I couldn’t control the urge, I lost the job again.
My wife believed am a good man, but I see myself like am cursed and it is not that am getting money from the gambling.
I am sick and tired of life, I am a failure, sometimes I feel like committing suicide, I have brought shame to my family and kids.
Please I need help, am jobless, money can’t stay in my hand, I will go to gambling shop and lavish it.
Am I cursed, I need help

Bet9ja have carried you Goal goal oh... Resist the urge to bet. And even if you do, bet with what you can afford to lose. Not using all your salary to play. That's foolishness.
Re: How I Lost My Job Through Gambling & Becoming An Irresponsible Father by jimcaddy(m): 1:55am On Feb 16, 2022
Abi na. If we don't have people like that, how bet9ja wan take pay salaries of their workers na. You have to lose for them to be in business. Which is someone else's source of livelihood.

No, you are not cursed

As others have said, start by taking responsibility. Start by knowing that you alone are making the decision to gamble, and if you decide not to, you won't gamble ever again

Gambling is addictive, you just want to try one single match and before you know you're spending all your savings on gamble...

I remember that year when one of these sport bet platform was hot. I decided to try my luck with small money, ticket cut.. I tried and tried again, until when I bet Over 2.5 and Goalkeeper to Not Smoke Shisha
89th minutes goalkeeper ordered for shisha just before a throw-in, na there I give up come start content writing and graphics, God is helping me...

Gambling is like a spirit on it's own

You'll be feeling you can win next time and that's how you'll keep loosing money

Always remember this before you gamble "IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW MUCH YOU WIN, YOU WILL ONLY END UP DASHING THEM BACK THE MONEY"
