You won't adhere to anybody advice cuz its addiction

Seikiri1:
Give your life to Christ and live your life with the fear of God and you will testify.
That was how i stopped betting.
Things you must do after that.
1. Don't ever go to where they gamble again
2. Don't even go there to charge phone or to gist.
3. Always be prayerful and God will help you as he did mine.

You doing forex and crypto, you're also gambling or either trading. Himself too could trade with sports if he wants to, but most ppl gamble.

First step is to set a limit, some sites do that
Second step, find a healthy addiction
Third step, deactivate all bet accounts you have
Final step is to use standard Chartered bank, you can't gamble with their cards. grin

So, porn and masturbation are the only addiction?

You've not heard about addiction to prayers?

Addiction to exercising?

Addiction to reading?

Next time use Google to find out the meaning of a healthy addiction


You obviously do not understand what I said earlier... Google the meaning of addiction then come back and tell me exactly how prayer and exercising are healthy addictions.

I'm sorry I don't know the solution. I own a bet shop, I don't bet neither do I even watch football at all ( I do movies and music ). I pity my customers when they loss.. in fact sometimes when they won, I told them to leave my shop to go make use of the money first because I have pity for them. How I wish federal government can shutdown virtual bet ( baby ) that is killing lots of people.

Stop being broke, you will be fine.

Once you are broke, almost nothing can stop you from gambling.

Gambling can be an adverse side effect of Sapa, and sometimes greediness.

But I would advice you to be gambling what you can afford to lose.

Liverpool Don show men shege yesterday.

Bros, u didn't elaborate. I think ur addiction is probably football, not gambling. Find another sports to like, then learn to separate gambling from sports. Gambling and sports shouldn't mix.

Jeez bro you cracked my ribs. The bastard took about 6 irreplaceable years from me. Still beating myself for the wasted time. But fortunately, I pulled through after hitting rock bottom by honestly asking God to help me & then gradually replaced it with another responsible and rewarding replacement. Now I have been able to pull two other friends out. This is why I have zero respect for the likes of Akin Alabi whom made wealth off other people's unhealthy addictions.



What a Reasoning!! Blaming Akin Alabi? Dats how some Cuss Jay Jay Okocha! undecided

Online betting is a very Business Risky venture for all involved! The shops, company and you d Player!
How about if Someone fortunately wins N14million.. Hasn't d Bet Company or Betshop made a huge Loss? embarassed
I have seen a Guy win 58K through Nairabet those days and the owner of the Shop could Not give him d Full money!
He paid in Instalments

Please You Guys Should Stop the Hating/Blame Games or Losing of Respect!
They NEVER forced anyone to Bet! Nah Greed force all of us Enter! sad

Write an article on losers. Go there and make sure you look at people coming to bet and after they lost their bettings.

Pay all your attention on the losers ,which is obvious there are always in numbers.

Look at their clothes, their shoes, their phones in another two weeks you will stop playing, because you go see say dem dey Mad.

Then you can decide if you want to end up like them.

The only thing you can do is make up your mind.... I used to be terrible..... Spending as much as 30k daily to play virtual soccer but the day I made up my mind to stop, I downloaded an app on my phone that blocks the virtual soccer website.... This reminded me every day I try to open it that it's something I need to do away with... Now I just stick to my regular N100 to win 36m bets... If it enters, fine.... If it doesn't, we keep trying..... At least I don't lose as much as i used to when playing virtual.... Try and make up your mind..... Even if we give u all the advise in the world, if your mind is not made up to stop something, when you log out of nairaland, u will still go back to the bet shop....

I wish I could retweet this.

What most gamblers don’t want to accept is it is possible to go for long without winning a dime.

Congratulations on quitting
