Be responsible for every one naira you get.. Tie it to a goal and control yourself.

To wean yourself off it gradually, look for app where you can make predictions without real money.

In the end, you just have to find something to occupy your mind rather than the thought of getting rich by 1 in 1,999,888,555 chance

Bros, only God can deliver you from that thing . But if you really want to be free from the spirit of betting , I suggest you start deleting all betting apps from your phone and engage yourself in more time-consuming activities that can easily kill boredom and financial problems .

Personally when I'm busy at work,I don't normally think about sport betting.

It's not that I have free money. Usually I have the plans for every month on notepad before salary enters but immediately alert enters most often betting thoughts and playing virtual kicks in.

The thought now is not even to get rich but to get myself out of the debts of mobile loan shirks and other loans.

I don't want to go near it all whether for relaxation or to make money but the thoughts somehow just streams in.

I don't have any of the apps, I use a browser to access their site. I play virtual. My work actually takes time and mental effort but in just a split second I can get hooked on this virtual betting.

I have tried this bet blocker app but it is not working.

If that's the case, then I'll suggest you fill your idle time with activities that are engaging . But one sure way of getting rid of betting is to pray and commit yourself to God's mercy by constantly forcing yourself not to bet or stake. I know the temptation will be there but you can overcome it through prayer and determination

you have your destiny in your own hands, nothing will work or less you make that hard move to control your desire to bet, it is in your mind and you have the power to control it,but your mind is weak,learn to have power over your desires,to control your thoughts and actions,many men has stopped addictions they didn't want like gambling,sex,drugs, alcohol,etc,it is possible if you can control your thoughts and steer it to another direction,but sadly many individuals cannot control their excess and became addicts, giving in totally to self destruction,while some like myself can control when I want to drink alcohol, or do any naughty things not the other way round,the power is in your mind, use it.

It is easy if you are determined. Have a needle with you at all times and anytime you think of betting, Pierce yourself. Your brain will be conditioned to avoid the thought of betting when it associates pain with betting

This makes some sense, I would give it a try cos my brain has been conditioned by the potential of making it fast via betting. But after doing it and it goes south the pain kicks in so I need a new association. And have a taste of the physical pain aligned with my brain signals saying I will lose this money before I actually do.

Thanks.
