Two days ago, my younger brother called me on phone and was sounding so down, so I asked him what the problem was and he told he needed help.

I went on to ask him what the issue was and he told me that his savings are being swept away via sport bet.

According to him, he has lost over a 100k in the last six months.

He is single just started working late 20s.

Please Nairalanders, is there a way we can help him out?

I literally told him that stopping the habit is as simple as not going to the shop again, but he said the bet shop is right opposite his house.
And he said d bet shop is right opposite his house.

I too I am into sports betting but I bet responsibly. So far bet9ja has not collected more than 5k from me but I 've collected over 200k from them in the last few months. You brother might be greedy. He doesn't know how to start small . It can be just 2odds that are sure. Just using 1k to make 1k. Or 2k to make 4k. 4k in a month is good money.

so you are playing 2odds games n all this time you never spent 5k on bets .. lets not decieve ourselves its a bad habit whether you dey win everyday or not .
regardless of the odds be it 1.09 these season games as been highly inconsistent as per the result .. my advice if its not helping ,,perhaps making a life that could av been fair go worst reduce ur stake to lowest that wonnt hurt ur pocket ,,betting is an addiction you cannt just leave,,just to satisfy that orgy ,stake with stipends .. apply discipline .....1st step
2nd step - skips matchdays ,,act like its unintentional by creating a busy schedule for yourself.. with time you will be in charge,,either to exit or play only wen u feel like.

Pls relocate him to places like Adamawa where there is no network.
Re: My Younger Brother Is Addicted To Sports Betting, Please Help!!! by iloejikefestus(m): 5:56pm On Feb 13, 2018
The best solution is for him to get himself busy with other money making ventures since its very accessible to him and mind you he cannot easily kill the addiction because he won't always be working everyday that means it can only reduce his addiction.... I work from Monday's to Friday's and I play sport bets weekends

I don't see how betting can get so into me

My friends spend money on drinks and girls, I do neither, instead I calculate 5k every month and put on betting. I have never put beyond the budgeted amount cos I do only online. Some months I win over, some months loses all
At my age, I can't stand in a bet booth
dey shout over 2.5 @ my age

I was a victim, so listen. He should relocate to a place far away from a betting centre. Also, he should get busy with something that gives he money to solve his problems. It may also be that he is indebted to many as a result of the same betting and looking for ways to pay up. In conclusion, you should have a discussion with him concerning this, listen to what he has to say and if need be, help him to ckear his debt if any
from him phone.

One day he go see 1 very high odd......lol
If d betting shop like mek e dey shokoto him go fine m bet, hoping to win

Bro I have been through same condition..
I lost over 100k in a week & lost my full monthly salary in 2days I became so broke that I don't even have 1k to eat.. I was so frustrated with so many many things running on my mind but thank God my Brother and a friend rescued me financially when they heard about my condition..
Since then my eyes don clear I never go back to Merrybet again although the urge still de come once once but when I remember wetin happen to me,,if I de pass that area I no de even de look the store self..
According to Timaya when "my eye clear dem no telli person."..
My advice is assist him financially if you can no matter how small because even 1k go be big money for he eyes now & tell him not to forget about the money he lost,start saving again and not to go back to Merrybet there's no gain there..

bros sorry mehn, make i show u wetin i dey use, they have a statistics centre https://s5.sir.sportradar.com/merrybet/en/ it displays recent form of teams and head to head records.

He should relocate, change his phone to a torchlight if he can and delete the numbers of his betting friends. Eliminate contact with anyone who encourages him to bet. Get a new hobby or do extra work so that he is not idle. Then firmly decide not to bet again.Get a mentor or somebody he can be accountable to, to find out his financial state and if his betting habits have died.

He should change his strategy.. winning is Happiness. Play single games of No Red Card every weekend .start with 5k.


p.S: study the Referee Card Stat. red : 0.06-0.09 is sure win when your teams last three games are clean!!!

Thank me after 2months.�

The fact that he voiced out by himself is a good sign, and I think that alone should clear his head.
Doctor Gambling has a way of encouraging it's patients even when losing...... and greediness is always at the background with perfume of irrationality .

I used to play online (everyday), so no where to run. But when I decided to stop (I felt so stupid for being so irrational) so, I started by budgetting (funny), once the money I deposited is exhausted, it is over for that month.
Gradually, I lost the urge to win and the urge to play became weak; I only play for fun, once in a week, once in a month, sometimes I don't play for months...I keep on discouraging myself.

His liberation depends on his determination to stop or control it . It didn't work for me and I stopped it.

relocating wont help, he needs to curb the habit , by being determined to stop .The thing dey online too na abi he go relocate him phone too ?
He should just bear in mind that, he has to stop and try and be strict with it .
And yes, get busy with other better money making ventures .That would distract him.

I do really hope he stops. It takes just a determination after considering the fact that riches gotten through gambling is just volatile.

It's quite frustrating when you're on a losing streak that's why I always advice you adhere to the golden rules of betting with what you can afford to lose and avoid greed.
