How I Overcame My Addiction To Virtual Sports Betting by Evidence1000(m): 9:44am On May 19, 2022
Hello everyone. I remember opening a thread sometime in August 2020 about my addiction to sports betting and how it has finished me totally


https://www.nairaland.com/5996073/need-bet9ja-finished-life

The link is above.

I got so many comments and messages; both positive and negative. Some even messaged me privately with promises to follow my matter up. I discovered that the power to stop betting laid solely in my hands and I took action.

I sincerely want to thank everyone for their advice and suggestions. To the glory of God, I've overcome that addiction and I no longer play sports virtual betting anymore. There have been significant changes in my life.

I have also been able to offset my debts totally. The peace of mind I have these days cannot be explained. I remember I made mention of the face that I owed a particularll guy over a hundred thousand naira; I have been able to pay that debt wholly. I am at peace now with myself and my environment.

I have looked back and that is why I have decided to share my story and how I overcame this addiction.

I want to encourage as many as are passing through the same challenge. You will definitely overcome it as you follow my story.

The mods should please helpe push to front page as this will help a lot of people who are struggling at the moment.

My addiction to playing virtual sports betting started off as a joke. I remember I used to go to different video game centers while I was in secondary school. I started going to game centers sometime in 2007. My father (of blessed memory) was against it then citing several reasons but I remained adamant. I remember how he used to punish/flog me then but I secretly went behind him and continued to play video games.

This continued for several months until a particular day I entered a video game center /bet shop. I remember seeing some numbers with decimals on the TV screen. My curiosity made me ask the owner of the shop what it meant. He explained everything to me. I then decided to try what he explained even though I did not understand anything which he said.

I remember staking 100 naira and I won 350 naira in seconds. I couldn't believe it! To say that I was happy was an understatement. I ran off after collecting the money and spent it on unnecessary things.

I was just too happy that I had finally seen where I could make free and fast money anytime I wished. Oh! How wrong I was!

The following day, I went back there with more money. This time around, I didn't go there to play video games but I went with the sole intention of playing that thing I saw on the screen the previous day. I later found out that it is called virtual sports betting. I went with 500 naira with the hope of winning just like the previous day but surprisingly, I lost it in a flash. I couldn't believe my eyes!

This became the beginning of my woes

You are still on holiday.... All it takes is for one of your close acquaintances to win a substantial amount of money from virtual bet and the devil will whisper to your mind, the four most dreaded words in the world of gambling "E Fit Be You"

sport betting is like a cancer to the player,when u go so deep inside,it take a strong discipline to come up

I pity those who get hope inside it that one say they will make it there,common, that game was not design for you bruz,it was design for the bet company and that is while you wonder that you hardly see people becoming so wealthy from it.



stop betting now before it stop you kiss

I know a friend who has been jobless for almost three years now and he supports his family with sports betting.

If you analyze this post closely you will discover two important details...

One is the selective use of colloquial abstract representation of normative words owing to the distinction in regulatory and derogatory affirmative relations to binary sentences

The second is, okay make l no lie give u, l no know wetin l said above
Thank you �

Happy for you, G.

Time for you to CONQUER other things in this life.

My guy John na lost and forgotten case sha because even as e know say the thing bad, he dey always swear say na for life.


The fact is that any virtual/gambling addict can NEVER have tangible money with him at any time.

That's a bondage, don't listen to slawormir the fraudster. Life na risk, but virtual/gambling na certified way to poverty.

Your chances of bet changing your life is less than 1%

WISE UP.
STAY TOXIC

Even though I did this betting stuff before, it was never an addiction to me.

Sometimes at a point I would always want to bet on some games, after booking it with my phone, I won't still play it.

I don't really have this enthusiasm to play it, the very last thing I do again is discarding the idea of playing it.

When people talk about bet addiction, it always marvel me.

Re: How I Overcame My Addiction To Virtual Sports Betting by Gatekeepers: 4:32pm On May 19, 2022
There are three legitimate ways to get money. First, you can work for it. (II Thessalonians 3:10) Second, you can make money through wise investments. (Luke 19:1-27) Third, you can receive a gift or an inheritance. (II Corinthians 12:14) There is no fourth category.

So betting no be work oo, because you only hopes to make money without working at all. Betting is not an investment, because you only creates an artificial risk hoping to make easy money. Bettingng is not a gift, because the money is won from the losers, not given as a gift.

We have to ask God to teach us contentment with what we already have.

Do you really believe that God will take care of all your needs all the time? If the answer is yes, then you don’t need to help him out by gambling. If the answer is no, then your problems is bigger than that of a gambler with his ticket!

Addiction of any kind sucks the life out of its host. Especially gambling and masturbation.
