Tough one but you need to apply wisdom here. Make sure you never hand too much money to him directly. Send food stuff to him instead of feeding allowance. Send him money weekly instead of monthly. Keep valuables away from him so he cannot steal them. If he sells his things, don't replace them. Lastly, pray for God to help you

Good evening bro

Are you from Orlu? I know a man in Orlu that bears your moniker as his nickname

Nah so a guy close to me loss 7m total on Bet9ja in space of 2 months this shit is fuckin real.

.

What you guys should do is to help him learn another form of gambling like FOREX or cryptocurrency trading. You people should make him see the benefit in trading. And also equip him if he is ready to trading.

At 17 already in 200l..these children they go sch again or them go just copy waec for board for them.at 17 i was in ss3..i didnt repeat any class..all these double promotion that ur parents manipulated on that poor child messer his emotions up..blame ur parents for gambling with his emotions.i tell parents ..the fact that ur child graduated at 19 wont guarantee suceese..he will just finish sch seat at home become area boys parabulating up and down..he may remain static in that lvl for 16 years leading to depression

gambling is a spirit that has destroy many glory and future

your brother needs a urgent spiritual prayer and deliverance before is too late

gambling is not a spirit.if it where so back it up with scriptures..prayers can not stop gambling..deliverance by pst chris cant stop it..u stop by experiance or tru counselling...africans needs to change these stupid mentality..i will advise the parents to stop disturbing God and going on hunger strike in the name of fasting..it will get to a stage he will need rehabilitation by a psychologist..first he is too young to be in 200l..al he wanted was to be like the big guys and felt gambling was his only option..not his fault..a 17 year old is not supose to gamble he cant handle it...if he was 18 he for get some lvl of control

My brother is 17 and addicted to gambling.
This addiction has cost us so much as a family especially my widowed mum.

He is constantly selling things and using money meant for his rent, upkeep, etc to gamble. Just last week he used his laptop to gamble. We have used tough love and right now we have exhausted all options to make him stop.

Like every other addiction if we are not proactive I'm afraid this will ruin him.

Additional Information: He's currently a 200L student of a federal uni but ever since he gained admission it has been one problem or the other caused by gambling. I'm thinking of withdrawing him and put him in a juvenile home if everything else fails.

I need practical solutions and advice on how to make him stop. If you are a recovered gambler please share what helped you.

A broke man may never be able to stop gambling.

A steady source of reasonable income gives gambling a natural death.
Imagine staking to win 50k that almost never comes,when you earn over 500k monthly.

Brokenness keeps the gambling fire burning.

I pray the good Lord touches your little bro soul and give him the grace to desist from this deadly path he has chosen. I'm a living testimony, played bet with millions of naira, had set back , depression and shed tears like a baby so many times, because I couldn't help myself from playing bet. I was able to stop when I realized my life was finally coming to a ruin.... And as I speak, I have few friends who haven't found their way out yet, and life has never been easy for any one of them.

So keep praying for your brother , he needs a lot of it right now.... Tell him stories of whom gamble has ruined their lives.... Let him know he can never progress in life playing bet. I pray God help him !!!

coming to Ur church is another addiction .U want him to wear green singlet and dey somersault in mud, disturb the peace of the neighbors

Righteousness2:
Gambling is a Spirit. A very wicked and destructive spirit. Just like sucubus and incubus.

Your bro needs a constant dose of the word of GOD and Deliverance prayers. This will chase out the spirit and the spirit of GOD will come in and take over.

I recommend You begin to attend services at the Lord's Chosen with your brother. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.

The day I borrowed money from loan app was the day I stopped. I also moved out of the Neighborhood, got new cycle of friends. To stop an addiction you need another addiction. Your brother needs to discover his hidden talent or something else to give him money. Online skill etc

when I say pray for him, I do not mean he should be subjected to fasting and prayers. Rather, I'm asking the op to put him in his prayers , tell him stories of those who lives had ruined thru gambling and also tell he can never make it in life thru gambling

divert his gambling addiction to forex.. he want to make money, guide him to where to make money the hardest way..link him with good trainers or better site like forexfactory, someone with track record and trust me once he understands how money work after months of failure, the addiction will disappear or transformed to fun thing to do instead of the greed driven...guide him to forex forums and searched for threads on failures as a forex traders, listening and reading real life stories of successes and failures and in no time the mind will begin to rework itself for his good...addiction energy need to be diverted to something else and you are in the right spot to help him..

if you stopped giving him money or letting him have access to things he could sell, he might be lured to other quick money scheme like yahoo and its a slippery slope from down there..he is young and inexperienced and therefore be handled with care..

gambling addiction is the least among the addictions its easy to stop op you should thank god ur bro addiction is gambling not masturbation leave the boy alone let him keep playing the day alabi hit him badly nobody will tell him to stop he will hate it. one thing that help me quit gambling addiction is one old man in my area he is a chronic gambler whenever i look at him and think that if there is luck in gambling why this man always living in poverty why didnt he yet get lucky he was gambling since before i was born he is still poor. show ur bro old broke gamblers and tell him he will be like them i he didnt stop

Seriously, when i heard you say ''Addicted to gambling'', i thought it was just normal sport betting which most guys get involved in but with the scenario of your younger bro getting to sell his stuff's and even uses his laptop for gambling purpose then i think your bro is far gone than those who play sport betting.

He needs help Asap nd don't ever think it won't affect u guy's later on, you beta do something now b4 it's too late, else, this one will sell anytin sell able jst to gamble it away...The worst gambling is not sport betting but those crazy woth, dice, poker etc. they can make one sell off anytin that comes its way. Although am not saying sport betting isn't bad, both are bad but your bro has gone beyond sport betting, infact, sport betting to him is like a child's game....Check on him very well, he is on a gambling that is far beyond his capacity.


God will redeem him

Gambling is a terrible addiction.







A guy in my hostel won 12k and he was disturbing everybody in the hostel.....We rushed outside thinking it was something worth celebrating and he broke the news to us. I hissed and walked back to my room saying "na all the money wey you take dey play since dem gather give you"
Everybody started laughing and the guy felt disappointed. I pray make dem nor give me community beating oneday cos of my bad mouth.

Your brother dey play virtual aja-n-sare

Thank God na sportybet FLEXIBLE BET I dey play.

I'll advise you tell him no one has ever made it through gambling, let him forget about his losses and focus on his studies
Remind him of Where he's coming from and what they're expecting of him if he fails he failed the whole fam especially mama.
Give him target on his school grade if he can get all first class each semester at the end there's a reward for him...
Gambling is not something you force one to stop rather you apply wisdom

You mean you lost 6 million you won through bet9ja... As in you didn’t make any useful investment with some of the money or what? If you are still broke after winning 6 million, then your own case is very spiritual. Village people are highly on your matter

If he's not a student,I would have advised to Stop funding him and let him know how hard it is to earn money, but as it is . give him what he needs to survive not what he needs to live.mind you pay his school fee by yourself...and watch him changing gradually

betting requires a level of maturity and self control
