Urgent: Who Can Help Me Proof To My Mum That Ftb Betting Is A Dirty Exercise. by RomanceLander(f): 7:41am On Feb 11, 2015
Hello I'm new on this forum and I've admired so many things here which warranted my joining . One them being getting help.

So, my younger brother is a football addict, I mean to the core... which isn't bad shaaa. But he started getting on my nerves when he started trying to transfer it to my mum.
He's always betting football games and quote me 'he gets his fortune almost every time' .Hardly does he lose a prediction.
Now I overheard him discussing his fortunes with my mum and she seems interested..... I chipped in and started countering his points proving to him that betting is gambling and dirty and that he's allowed to go on with it since he doesn't want to get some piece if advice from me, but what I won't have is he introducing my mum into it.

Well I tried but I wasn't good enough to backup my claims .... I just know within me that my spirit hates that thing ... I just don't know why.

Imagine my shock when I came back from school yesterday to find out my brother has placed a bet of 9wins for my mum. Yesterday night two of the games clicked in positively remaining 5. And the money involved is big enough (don't want to mention amount) .

Supposing she wins the remaining 5, I fear this will never stop.
Please someone help me out , I'm scared seriously..... if I can just talk her out of this I'll be glad.

OP, how old is your brother? I think that could help understand the situation better. If he's well above 18, then I see nothing wrong with it. The law, I believe, recognizes football bets. I'm a huge fan of moral uprightness, I mean a big fan. But that does not imply I condemn those who gamble just because I don't.

Your mum is only enticed by the winnings of your brother, which I believe is normal. However, the dangers are quite huge though and could be problematic when it arises. She could be lured of parting away with valuables if she's convinced that a particular game entry is sure to yield. Unfortunately, there's little or nothing you can do at this point other than pray that she lose her bets consecutively. That way, she'll easily be discouraged from carrying on.

And if perhaps you have an older brother or sister, it would be right you tell them so as to caution her.

Recreating it may not help. She'd get help recommendations from people who would want to do so and may likely be mocked. The most important is for her to get help.

Trust me, she'll become addicted almost instantly if she wins because she could believe the bet is indeed easy. Sometimes sacrificing little things in the course of a greater one is highly expected.

If ur honestly interested in the truth then forget abt ur brother for now cos no pastor can advice him to stop

Focus on ur mum....tell ur mum that betting is an addiction ,make her understand that predicting one game or 2 is totally diff from predicting lots of games to win.....i know she wont listen so advice her to give ur bro small mmoney ...tell her to watch if he Wins in the 2trials after he fails Which am sure of with 70% probability then sit and reason with her that betting ain't the way forward

It seems you are the first child or the Responsible one...

What you should do is, Have a Talk With Your Mum on her actions... Let her know she is doing the wrong thing and how will she feel if tomorrow your brother gets imprisoned for a bigger crime than gambling... She is supporting him and that makes it bad...

Also come from the angle of How Bad It Is for young people to get involved in stuff like it and how sinful it is (if she believes in God o)

You have to talk her out of it...Your brother might not stop immediately but first deliver your mum before she bets with your school fees one day...

Dad nko?

Yeah... I'll also advice you have a heart-to-heart talk with your mum (this depends on how close both of you are though). This should best be done when your brother goes out. That way, it would give mother and daughter time and all the space needed. It's one thing to talk with a raised voice, and it's also another to do so calmly. Talk to her and try making her see reasons where it's unhealthy for her to indulge in such a thing.

This football betting craze is spreading like wildfire these days. It's technically gambling, but at least it's more dignified than the regular Baba Ijebu lotto which is the real dirty game associated with riff-raff and area boys.

The only way your sweet mother will lose interest in this thing is if she loses her first couple of bets. However, since you say your brother is an expert at it and hardly loses, then I guess she will play the same bets (games) as he does and ride on his luck to win. If she wins often enough, then I'm afraid she is stuck and there's nothing you can do about it. In fact, I predict that you would also join them sooner than later and even become more addicted to it than your brother and your mother put together.
