Merrybet, betpawa, betway, bet9ja, betking etc are some of the multifarious betting platforms that have proliferated Nigeria. It seems luring to youths as a quick way to wealth. Don't be deceived.

I have been into sports betting since 2015. I can boldly state that the negative effects of the act supersedes it's gain. do not let you love for sports (football in particular) lead you to engage in Betting, or continue the act

below are some reasons why you need to avoid betting with your scarce resources....

it affects your sanity

punters have their sane reasoning altered. they barely have time for things that matters. Things like taking care of a loved one, their chores or personal hygiene. Whenever funds come in, all they are after is for bet shops to open, to enable them book games or play virtual games. you see them with bet slips up and down, glued to screens, viewing live scores for 'eternity'.

when a bet slip is lost, you find them screaming and sober. they lose sleep. most times, depressed. many occasions, they vent their anger or frustrations on friends and family.

it can never give you permanent riches

it is a known fact that human wants are insatiable. the more you win, the more your desire for more. this is the trick they use in getting their money back, because the game is addictive. you use 20000 to get 50000. then you increase to maybe 70000 to win 140000. you rejoice for a while. then you decide to risk it all. probably 200000 to win 450000. then you lose it all.

at this stage, you have lost twice what you made. you begin to source for funds to 'recover'. don't be deceived further. betting proceeds is not assured for those who lack self control or moderation. I have seen someone lose 900000 naira on just one game. Money that he could have used for months. another bought a car from betting. he later sold it half the price to gamble. my case is not any better though. but I am getting wiser now.

it will make you lose focus

if you get absorbed in Betting, you will lose focus in life. different apprentice have abandoned their training because of betting. people have dropped out of school because of Betting. people have crumbled their personal businesses or that of family or friends due to betting.

when you earn 15000 a month and then you hear that you can win one million over night from betting, you lose focus in your job. or probably when you lose about 50000 naira to betting, you begin to find it pointless to work for a low fee. diligence is sacrificed for the imaginary profit of betting

it will get you into trouble

gamblers are liable to die Young, just like smokers. with gambling, you easily get into trouble that could lead to mob attack, lynching or arrest. this is because gamblers are desperate to feed their addictions. they seek ways to recover what they lost and also make life better. hence they dubiously use people's money to bet

gamblers are always mischievous, not trustworthy and always in debt. so avoid gamblers and mingle with those that can impact your life positively

Hi guys.. happy Easter.

Trust we are all having a good time this festive period.

I really need assistance on the above subject.
At he moment I have an agency banking outlet (POS). However, I intend starting up a dispatch firm but I don’t have an idea of how it’s work.
So I will really appreciate if I get more information and assistant on that. Also am willing to pay but only if the idea(s) are reasonable. Thanks

One guy said "Quiters dont win and Winners dont quit"... I laugh in japanese.

Anyway, I will also quit betting but the OP should let me play this my last sure tickets. Na Naija cause ham

It can never give u riches

Most people are saying gambling is bad....na still dem go put their last savings for MBA forex program and Rockasteli and other cheap ponzi scheme.

Solid facts and so true.

I just pity some people seeing how addicted they are to bet. They don't even bring out the least time to think about there lives and check if they are gaining or losing. Betting shop is there home and livescores is there room. Anytime matches end they will be like 'chai! O boy see odd wey don waste if to say I play this goal goal put am 5k nah better money o'

I'll take what 'childofdoom' says with a pinch of salt.

It's a spiritual problem. Once you are in, you'll need the grace of God to get out

The more hooked you are, the more difficult it is to get out

Not everyone who drinks alcohol is irresponsible.

The same applies to betting

Some people can control it and others cannot

That does not mean it is bad for EVERYONE


Some people can bet responsibly with discipline without betting taking over their lives

Even the mobile phone people carry around can trigger mental health problems in the hands of some people

Some people are PROFFESIONAL gamblers and some so good that some casinos in Las Vegas BAN them

Go down

True

If you not lucky as others keep shut! so many made it from bet9ja ok, you have bad luck, go and look for solution to your bad luck and don't come here using your bad frustrating luck to advice people.

I dey Okene currently, where I fit see better place hangout and meet cool babes na??
I'm so bored here.

I pray they will listen.
