This is a lil story about my 7 years deep addiction to sport bet and in this 7 years I lost everything when I mean everything

and I beg you in whatever you hold dear, I beg you in your mother's name, I beg you in your child's innocent life, I beg you in whichever God you pray too if you're in sport bet or about to start or no matter how far you have gone you can still stop so you don't lose everything like I did before I got my salvation

I was 18 in 2014 and I had just finished from secondary school and Because I loved football so much anything about football intrigued me

I remember writing my jamb and came out in flying colors (260) and I was to proceed to take my post utme when I first found and heard about sport betting

Then it was Rapido I think and Nairabet. It started as fun, just wanting to waste that 100 in excitement of what you loved and I remembered my first winning of 14k ( I wished I never won that)

That 14k I won hooked me in till February of this year and because my close knit friends knew I won that 14k and my love for football they always asked me to "forcast" games for them

I was so hooked to sport bet that my spiritual life suffered because I stopped thinking about God all I wanted was to win that imaginary millions

I remember passing my utme and Mom was happy I passed my utme as all she wanted was for me to have a quality education

Unfortunately life happened and I couldn't proceed to school again as there was no sponsor so I had to get a job in apapa wharf

I was the quiet type, I never drank or smoked or womanize , I don't even talk much unless in my line of duty but all I did was sport bet. I was paid 85k per month because my job was high risk but before I get my salary I would have used it all on sport bet

One thing I never did was steal or lie or use someone's else's money to play sport bet but I was so addicted to this demon called sport bet

From 2016 when I started working in apapa wharf till we were made to stop working because of the pandemic last year I Lost everything I had and worked for due to sport bet

I always dressed well, even till date I still dress well with neat and good cloths so you never know but in between those clothes I was suffering, I was crying each day because I knew I was wasting away

I have never taken cocaine or no the effect it has on those addicted to it but I can tell you nothing beats that of sports bet

I would cry after each lose and say no more but the moment I got another money I was in it again

The bet9ja guy in my neighborhood could allow me play games up to 100k because he knows I would pay him when I get my salary. Each night I prayed and cried to stop this but I was never able to

I rather play sport bet than eat, I knew I was destroying my life but I couldn't stop

I was a good guy, a loyal guy, my boss loved me because I was hard working so he dashes me money but I never saved any, all I did was sport bet

I remember after the first week the pandemic was eased I went to him and told him I had a problem and he asked what's the problem and I told him you are like a father to me so I feel comfortable telling you this( I thought after 4 year's a loyal worker can see a boss as a father), I need help because I'm addicted to sport bet. Then he asked me questions upon questions and I was sincere to each of his questions and he asked me if I had any savings left I told him no that sport bet took everything, he asked if I have ever stolen from him I told him if I did Mr shonibare the auditor would have known but after that he changed drastically

It was after that incident of me telling him I needed help I lost my job.

I was told because of the effect of the pandemic I had to stop coming that I would be called back but it's More than a year I haven't been called but I blame me telling him I was addicted to sport bet

All I wanted was just help

Then I had no job again and had a mouth to feed so I decided to start working as a labourer or doing any menial Job just to survive ( one thing about me was I was hard working and never derelict in my work or hustle) but guess what I never stopped playing sport bet because I wanted that imaginary millions

I would be paid 1500 as a labourer and 1000 would surely go to sport bet that same day and I would eat with 500 and I didn't win

No one knew I was in bondage, no one knew I lost my job because each morning I would dress neat and go do labourer and come home neat like I was coming from apapa, no one knew I was dying slowly due to my addiction

I can't begin to mention in naira how much I lost but thank God today made it 4 months I last played sport bet and I remembered how I stopped

It was a game I was suppose to win 1.8M with a stake of 1500 which was my last money and Liverpool vs Fulham was the last game and I staked it over 1.5 goals and I was excited because Fulham scored in the first half and I said at Last I finally won today and would get a car to do Uber and stop this finally but guess what it ended 1-0 and oh I cried, I cried aloud, I cried and yelled and gnashed my teeth like a woman crying to bring forth a child or like when Mom died, I cried so loud my tenants came and I told them my brother died but that day was my day of salvation

I cried so much ehh and In my tears i prayed to my mother this time around to come and deliver me as I was overwhelmed and needed help and I slept hungry that day because I had no money and I had used my last money to bet and in my dream I remembered I was choking so I vomited I think 50k and a palatable food and in the dream I wanted to take the money and food to eat but I had a voice. Oh I had that voice I hadn't heard for years and she called me my native name that only she did and I looked up and I saw my Mom from afar and she said don't touch it and go back now, but I said to her I was broke and hungry and she said do you want to touch or carry back your vomit? And I said no and she said now go back and I turned and Immediately I woke up I knew I had won but I knew I still had to play my own part to win finally

I went out from all the telegram betting group I belonged too, deactivated my nairaland account because I was always in the bet section, deactivated all of my bet site account

I remembered I didn't play for 3 days and I had 3k saved for the first time in months and I got on Twitter and I saw a guy saying a game is sure and the devil wanted to play with my mind but guess what that same day I had to sale my phone so I don't think or see anything about football , I packed up my DStv and TV not to watch football and see the advert of any sport betting company and for the first time in almost 7 years I went a week without sport bet WOW I was happy. the following week passed and another and another and the money I sold my phone with I didn't touch it, I had saved like 15k from my working as a menial labourer and I got another phone and I thought I was gonna fall but this morning Made it 6 weeks that I got a new phone and I haven't played or logged in to any betting site thank you Jesus

Last night I had to go to Instagram because I was feeling sad because of everything I had lost and i saw my best friend picture, I felt so sad, I cried my eyes because we are Miles apart, he doesn't call or text again and I understand I was useless, I was the brilliant one that fell, I was the lil innocent quiet handsome one that lost his easy due to sport bet

He looked so good and I blamed my self for everything but I'm in the road to recovery

Sport bet Made me lose my job, my mom, my peace, all of my savings, my friends because I couldn't compete with them financially as I was always broke but thank God today I have a New beginning and a fresh start. I know things are so hard right now but I feel like a fresh Man, a Man born again, a Man like a new born. It's almost or More than 90 days now since i last played sport bet and oh I have peace, lol I have such peace, yes occasionally when I don't have somewhere to work or when I'm lonely and think of where I should be I sigh but I say Thank you Jesus, thank you my savior

Please I beg you, sport bet would destroy you, sport bet would end you, sport bet would make you so useless, sport bet would would take everything from you, sport bet would make you lose everything you worked for, sport bet would make you become so isolated. Please stop now. I know it's hard, very hard I have been there but if I can do it I swear you can, I have lost 300k in a day before and the next day I had 2k and lost it again. Please sport bet is devilish and a destiny destroyer. You can't win them, Come out of nairaland for a while if you have too, come out of Twitter if you have too, anything that makes you think about it I'm begging you now please come out of it. Just like yesterday I was 18, now I'm 25, broke, lost everything but it's fine I would rise again. Don't be like me ok

Thank you and God bless us all for reading

I have been betting since 2013 and I don't even regret it. I bet leisurely not like am under any compulsion. And I have a big discipline. The biggest money I bet with is N200 and that's every weekends. I play a running ticket from Friday to Sunday. If it cast, no wahala. We try again. So I don't relate to your story bro
Same here bro, only bet 2h on weekend games to avoid stories that touch like mr op...

Of every vice in life, betting and drug-taking are the ones I steer clear off. Those things are both addictive and destructive. I’ve met a person so calculated in betting that he hits big majority of the time. However he loses big also.

So lemme get this straight
A company sets up to entice you to gamble and you think that company set up just so you can scam it and it keeps making losses grin grin grin
Nigerians ooo grin grin

Somebody I met asked me to pay him 250k to teach me forex.. I am skeptical about it... What do you advice me to do?

That is thievery. A whole 250k for wat? I got to learn for close to 2 years in 2018 and used way wayyyyy less than that. I'm willing to teach tho if u're someone that's really serious abt learning it.

I remember when i wanted to get a new phone, have already saved up to 54k and i saw one nice phone of 95k, i wanted to get that phone of 95k, i decided to use the 50k to play a sure game of 2odds that was how i lost the my 50k o, las las that remaining 4k i used it to drink beer and goat meat pepper soup, i was so depressed, sad, hopeless and sober that whole week.


You can't point 10 gamblers that are millionaires around you, that got their millions through gambling.
u made a mistake,never had the mind of winning a gamble,until u win it,see gamble as the same category of drinking beer and giving women money u know both of them are waste, so when ever u are playing don't put mind,and don't go with all your money.

No. Cos forex comes with you having the ability to study the chart.
Market structure among other things that you have to learn and it plays out. Risk management and all.

I don't think they are the same.

Its same bro, there are fundamentals in spot bet too. Would you bet against Man city in a match against Burnley? The trends are obvious and city will win 99% of the time.

Only Crypto is known not to have fundamentals. Forex and Sport bet na the same

Of every vice in life, betting and drug-taking are the ones I steer clear off. Those things are both addictive and destructive. I’ve met a person so calculated in betting that he hits big majority of the time. However he loses big also.
what about oloshoism,u like that right?

Nigerian Government should force betting companies to dedicate a portion of their profits towards betting addiction and rehabilitation.

Laws should also be passed to limit impulsive gamblers access to bets and such services.

They will rather ban twitter than regulate betting

I remember after the first week the pandemic was eased I went to him and told him I had a problem and he asked what's the problem and I told him you are like a father to me so I feel comfortable telling you this( I thought after 4 year's a loyal worker can see a boss as a father), I need help because I'm addicted to sport bet. Then he asked me questions upon questions and I was sincere to each of his questions and he asked me if I had any savings left I told him no that sport bet took everything, he asked if I have ever stolen from him I told him if I did Mr shonibare the auditor would have known but after that he changed drastically

Your story is moving.

Let me react to the highlighted above. First of it is a bad move. Let me tell you a story that's almost similar

I remember a boy (youth) in church during a night vigil service, gave a testimony of how he was into gangs, drugs and stuff, he even said he was into cocaine...but thank God he's (was) healed from the bondage. BIG MISTAKE! What his "testimony" signaled to parents was to keep their children away from him. Parents did not trust his story. People said Cocaine addicts mostly never fully recover. The boy did not help his plight any better as he started calling some people to solicit for money, including yours truly.

By principle, I always try to do a background check before I part with money to help people when they come with stories of needing money to start a business..... So I called a priest to inquire about him. I also told the priest that his story did not so much add up to me. The priest said he'd advised him to stay in the background and let him speak to people on his behalf (which would have been a better strategy) but he was impatient, fetched people's number and went on his own. I told the priest I'm not comfortable giving him money if he's not under a supervised program. The priest told me he's not comfortable contacting church members and also that he moved out of the church hostel accommodation (for homeless and help seekers)....I heard enough and engaged him. Told him to return to church hostel, and to channel his request to through the priest to me.... He cut the phone on me and that was the last I heard of the fellow.....

Moral of the story - In special cases like that, you have to be circumspect and wisely choose who will help, and not who you expect to help. Definitely not your Boss. A Gambler is a No! No! for business....If I were your Boss, I will fire you immediately and refer you to a Counsellor. I will not even take you back after you claim you've recovered. That is the consequence....to appreciate the gravity of what your habit means to business.

Now I advise you - Get back to Jamb. Get into a University. That is where your work and savings should be channeled. That is where the Sports Bet money should have gone into

thank you Bros I appreciate. I saw him as a father and I knew I needed help that's why I thought I could talk to him but my mistake. I never, not once did I steal from him or cheated him. It was sad he could dump me that way but I hold no grudge against him. I know things is hard now but I know things would turn around again. Thank God I overcame and I'm so so happy. Yes I get hungry and sad at times but it's a Price I'm paying for my stupidity and addiction but thank God today I can advise other. Thanks Bros I appreciate. Hopefully when I get a stable job I would reaply for jamb. God bless you tho it's hard been a orphan and having no job but I would rise again
