Sports › Re: I Need Help! Bet9ja Has Finished My Life. by ChildOfDoom: 8:32pm On Jul 16, 2020*

As harsh as what i am about to say might sound, there is no cure. Even if you work, you will dupe your employers to gamble. Use your salary too. You will drop out of school, steal to gamble, sell your properties and that of family members & friends, just to play bet9ja virtual. No amount of advice or prayer from an elder, priest or pastor will make you stop. Even beating from community boys or arrest, won't work. It's just one year you started. You should rather be scared of your future misfortunes, not small 300k. By 2022, your debts/troubles will be worse. People should avoid any financial dealings with you for their own good. I am speaking as a bet9ja addict too. Since 2015. I am miserable and unfortunate in life. The earlier the govt sees bet9ja as the new enemy of the youths, the better

we all need to be encouraged bro... I like that you said suicide is not an option for you. It actually shows that you are a fighter in your heart and I believe you will surely conquer your addictions one day.... setting a short term goal(get rich quick) for yourself is one of the issues you are having so I think you should change that mindset to more like a 5 years goal... that way you avoid taking impulsive decisions... forget age, it's most of the time just a number...........there is nothing new under the sun that has ever happened to man........all these your vices you are mentioning, you will be surprised that every average guy battles with it too but then some decide to do something about it by being wise.....

I used to think I was being wasteful considering all the money I used in the past to gamble, including my salary o... but all those while, deep within me, I knew I wasn't going to be rich through winning a huge amount of money, it's just kind of like a day dream.... with that mindset, I was finally able to say NO to gamble when it got to a stage.....

it's good to express how you feel but don't look for sympathy and someone to help you here with maybe more money in order to fix your life challenges, instead work on your self bro....

all the best.

okay brotherly. Thanks for the tips. I will have to drop my passion for football to overcome the urge to gamble

Have you thought of how you will miss the thrill of virtual and premier league if you commit suicide. If you can't stop your addiction, enjoy its thrills and manage its pains. All of us will die whenever death comes. Success and failure serve their different purpose . Even negativity is better than positivity sometimes. Life lacks its flavour where there is no negative or positive. They are both useful

I reasoned this way for long. That drive to always take some risks to spice up life. It always got me into trouble. That habit keeps putting me on the edge. I hope to do away with such habit soon.

Child of doom you need therapy. Has it ever crossed your mind to see a psychiatrist or a therapist?

There are mental health programs and medical treatment in place to help people struggling with addictions . Perhaps that is what you need and a mentor too.

Kindly seek a therapist !!

hmm.. Opening up is something i hardly do because i shamefully hide my ways. It's affecting me more and more. I will change. Where are therapists found? Are they affordable?

hmm.. you are right to say I am educated. i am a spill-over student awaiting my result. Things were going well for me till i lost focus in my final year due to bet9ja. I currently teach English in a substandard/low-paying school, with my SSCE result. So i worked on my diction over time. Gambling addiction and its effect is not a respecter of class. I have seen a lecturer get wrecked due to gambling

It's not going to be easy, but I will advice you to find a goal, a plan, or a passion something that makes the work(of getting) worth doing and much pleasurable..it could be as simple as the joy of your mother, proving everyone wrong or even been financially stable .. picture it and hold on to it.

I wish you all the best my brother. Thanks for sharing

3) LIFE IS TOO PRECIOUS

I tremble when I think of what it would be like when one is snuffed of life. Where does he go to? What happens to his aspirations? Is there an after life or bodies just decay in the ground? Lots of palpitating thoughts keep me going. Just once I went to jail, it wasn't funny at all. Knowing you are caged somewhere with no way out. I might be foolish, I might be miserable, I might be useless, I might be a bad egg and so on. But it is a lot better than being dead. So, I will not kill myself.

If one goes to the hospital and see how people battle to survive, one has reasons to be grateful. I have been seriously ill before, so I know what I am saying. The rich, no matter their wealth, die from some incurable ailments.

Ever wondered what sustains the mad people on the streets. Don't be surprised that wayward people like me will keep surviving while some well-to-do or good people die. That's life for you. So never wish bad for another

2) USE ME AS AN EXAMPLE

I will not use sniper as some do or anything else. Just allow me live and share my lamentations once in a while. The unfortunate, live amongst the blessed, to serve as an example on how to live life in order not to be miserable. When your younger ones or male children try to tow the line of gambling, show them all my posts to make them desist from it. I am not happy running from one state to another to avoid those who hunt me. I am not happy gambling with my parent's or loved ones money or properties. I am not also happy making myself suffer or making others cry. It is what it is. That's what gambling addiction does to people. I know there are also other addictions your children should try to avoid. i have seen men get wrecked from coupon (pool) in the past. Never knew it will be my turn if i don't act pragmatically.

Do you know I have only 4 trousers and 8 shirts in a manageable condition. Most of which where handed to me by my younger brother after he bought new ones (we use almost the same size of clothes). I hardly think of buying new clothes. My hair is rough and body unkempt. Two out of the five boxers i wear were formerly for my younger brother.

1) I WILL KEEP STRIVING

I believe successful people today had some ugly past which they fought to overcome. Some die in their addictions or get everlasting 'scar'. But some pull through, after trying and trying to stop. It won't be easy but I will try. To give my soul peace and make my mum proud. I will start by trying to regulate the act. Addictions don't just die down. Just like I have made masturbation and taking of carbonated drinks thrice a week instead of everyday, I will regulate gambling. Instead of bet9ja, I will visit merrybet henceforth. That way I will overcome the spirit of virtual. There I can still charge my phone. It's almost impossible not to gamble as a football lover or an ambitious man. Considering there is no other job out there. So I will try to make it just 100 naira betslip a day or cumulative amount of 500 naira a week when I have money.

I have seen over the years how people here have asked me to end my life and stop disturbing with my waywardness. It's true that people in a similar case as mine, would have long committed suicide.

I read a news of a guy who committed suicide after using 150,000 naira of his boss to play bet9ja. Hian! Considering the gravity of my betting addiction, I should have wasted my life, according to some people.

Only this year alone, I have gambled off 600,000 naira. You might think it's impossible considering I am a poor lowlife in a dormant city (Warri). Also, no money in this lockdown. For gambling, you work extra hard to make money or dupe people, just to foolishly gamble.

I have the brains to make money and live normal but my addictions get the best of me. I've resigned to fate of being unfortunate and doomed. You won't believe I have over 101,000 naira debt to pay my employer after using some WASSCE money to gamble (I will be his 'slave' when school resumes till I pay off). I made lots of money begging online during the lockdown. Don Jazzy gave me 50,000 naira. Helen Paul gave me 10,000 etc. The most traumatic experience was when I gambled off 250,000 naira central bank collateral-free loan given to ease the effect of the lockdown. Now, hunger has set in.

I am like a walking corpse. I am always sober, frustrated and depressed. I talk to myself. Always have nightmares due to my thoughts. At times, I scream or sob when I think of what I have done to myself. I blow the wall out of regrets. Unfortunately, we can't undo the past. Despite all these, I have 3 things to say to those who want me dead...

Op l feel your pain cuz l was once in your shoe but thank God for delivering me from visual.

Some folks here might not believe you cuz they don't know what it means to be addicted to visual betting. l once sold my 6 months old Belgium Car Vectra 1.8 because of visual.
I'll advice you to pray first, secondly convince your self that someone out there wants you to be useless that's why you can't stop playing visual.

Honestly that was what worked for me, l don't know if it might work for you.

Finally, someone who sees things from my angle. The spirit of gambling is really terrible. Before one can recover himself, everything is gone within the twinkle of an eye.

I once sold my TV, DVD, iron, big foam, chair, sweater, umbrella, laptop, bucket etc., All in one day. To a guy that buys fairly used things (at a cheap rate). I lied I was a final year student, so he doesn't pity me. All to what purpose, gambling (bet9ja Virtual).

I hope to be totally free like you and not relapse again by going there. One thing I will never do, is commit suicide. I will keep striving. Even if it means working for 15 months without pay to clear my debts. I literally run from any bet9ja shop close by now. I have (am) suffered enough.

You are a good writer. Use your talent for writing short stories you can easily sell.

my addiction story is real. I know it sounds weird talking about my miserable life. It's the way i'm wired. I've gotten a bloodied nose before for a shaddy deal i took part in to bet. I've sold my household items before (for a meagre amount) to gamble. I've seen youths beat up a young boy for stealing money to gamble. The list is endless. Once a person gets into a bad habit, the talent of such person is hidden

During the lockdown, I applied for the Central Bank relief fund via NIRSAL microfinance bank. I never took it seriously. To my greatest surprise, the loan was approved without much documentation.

At that moment, I thought I had changed for the better. I was bent on making every one proud. I went to Robinson plaza to inquire about the new itel p36 Pro Lite launched. I was told to check back later. On my way out, I got a Bluetooth MP player for 12k.

I made the mistake of taking the device to a bet9ja shop to charge before going home. That was how the spirit of virtual lured me. Within the space of 30 minutes, I had made transfers over 15 times to the owner of the shop to play the game. Hmm.. Shame will not let me even mention how much the money was. It's an amount that would have changed my life.

I'm only left with 2000 naira now and the Bluetooth speaker which I now use to play sorrowful music. I will surely go into depression for a long time. The amount involved is over 6 digits. And one of the clause was to pay back within a year. So awestruck and distraught.

I'm a doomed child. Every open door is misused by me. I was a fool not to have just thought of buying a generator instead to charge at home.
