What i would tell you is that you should

1. Admit to it that you've lost alot of money

Just forget about the Money because you would never recover it.

2. Stay off of any group that talks about betting avoid them like mad

3. Start afresh and

4. Discipline yourself because its not easy.

Thank God u were able to keep track of your losses. Work on your attitude of greed, get rid of betting apps and betting site bookmarks on ur device.
Turn more to God to help u quench the inner appetite for gambling.
Engage in more relaxing recreational activities. Avoid betting houses and friends like stray bullets.
Learn to forget your loses and focus on positive stuff.
God will help u.

You're so lucky bro, you're yet to discover the real deal; I mean the virtual bet (Baby, dog race etc.). I'm sure by now you would have sold all your belongings.....I'm a victim of sport bet, badly affected and still struggling to quit. may God Almighty rescue us bro

Can't stop laughing while reading your comment. Baby has killed many destinies bro. It's currently killing one of my neighbors. He goes to the betting shop early in the morning and returns late at night with nothing. In fact, that's his office. He's addicted.

Gambling has only true rule.


1. ONLY GAMBLE WITH AN AMOUNT YOU CAN AFFORD TO DASH OUT WITHOUT FEELING HEAT


2. REFER TO NUMBER ONE!
Many people are poor. They can't afford to dash out without feeling it except they will be deceiving themselves. Best bet is to stop completely.

Betting is highly addictive, I would say as addictive as igbo or even cocaine. You get thrilled by the highs when you win and depressed by the lows when you lose. You get the same momentary highs when you win that igbo smokers get after a drag. The tragedy is that you start longing for those highs, so you stake higher and higher until you go burst.

Our health professionals should start treating gambling addiction like alcoholism and drug abuse. It's a huge mental health issue in Nigeria today.

Bro, I can’t judge you. I’ve been there and done that. Lost my last two jobs to lack of coordination and gambling beyond my means. I don’t do it anymore though. I thank Jehovah for that.

There’s no therapy or fix. The only cure for an addiction is finding another addiction. That was how I overcame mine. I started doing legitimate stuffs online to earn money. When I started earning in $$, gambling made no more sense to me.

@op.....diaris something I wanna suggest to you, which is how you see betting from ur angle... honestly, I was in ur shoes years back (same way I got introduced by a friend). Mine was nice.....I devised a strategy that made me win on a daily....until it got to a time I started misbehaving since I've made lotta money (which made me lose so much to d extend I was broke)....sins av gotten addicted to it, I couldn't quit.... instead I was searching d internet to look for a strategy that'll favour me.....I now saw a suggestion made by a white guy.....d guy said d best way to win in sportbet is to see it as a business (i.e when you wanna place a bet, u do it as if it's your business).....if u had a business worth 1million naira, will u be looking for a way to make a profit of 10million naira on a daily?.....so I thought about it found a way that favours me.....
so what I'm tryna say is that you see bet as a business....if u wanna go into a business, first you make your research, secondly you look for a way it will favor u.... that's how bet is.....infact if you understand FOREX Trading, you will understand sportbet to a reasonable extend...
I rest my case.

Bro, i was in the same shoes as you. Was one of the highest earners when i was serving at KT,NYSC, Yet i was always indebted. Its a seed that can single handedly destroy your life, finance, focus, marriage, relationship and destiny until i took a decision which i had taken 10times before but this time It was life or death situation because i had lost trusted friends and family. I had to ask GOD for help, change my focus from making sharp sharp money to building sustainable goals. I stayed away from sites, locations, friends and thoughts that could lead me back but most importantly I genuinely sought Gods help and made up my mind never to go back even if it kills me and its been an amazing journey.

Seek for loan that would be up to like 2million naira, then place everything on betting, If you win you will never play gambling again, if you loose, then you will have to pay the debt almost for the rest of your life.

Problem solved!

There is nothing good about betting, you will always end up being broke. Invest your money on real business.

Righteousness89:
The Spirit behind Gambling is a Wicked one ! So it's advisable not to start at all!

For you who has become a casualty!
1. Seek God's Face in Repentance. Confess your Sins and Surrender to JESUS.

2. Look for Bible believing Church where the raw undiluted Word of God is preached and Prayers made Constantly.
I attend the Lord Chosen. I recommend that for you.

3. Delete the app From your Phone! Delete whatever has to do with Gambling on your Phone. If the app refuses to delete! throw the phone away! Delete friends who are Gamblers!

4. If you can change your Environment, change !

5. Get the Word of God. Let it become your Best friend and Hobby.

The truth is that you can't quit.

The addiction is real. The only thing left for you is to be using ONLY MONEY YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE, like N1k, N2k, etc.

Don't use big money. And learn to stake on small odds like 1.10 up to 1.5 etc.

Avoid accumulation and realize that gambling ALWAYS FAVOURS THE HOUSE. See it as a form of entertainment which it really is

Gambling:A mental attraction to whats not yours. Another words for operations of the flesh. Solution : Accept Jesus's death on the cross by deciding that you don't want to gamble again (repentance) and asking Jesus to be your Lord and saviour. Do this sincerely and you will be free indeed.
Re: Help: How Can I Quit Gambling? by Ashinze: 7:27pm On Nov 29, 2020
