Good day everyone, it is with tension and fast heartbeat that I use in writing this as I find myself entangled with the addiction of sports betting and huge dept.
I am a fresh graduate who just finished my NYSC and I am still looking for a job. As I have no job yet, I find it hard to run my day to day activities and settle little bills because I currently have no source of income.

I decided to borrow money from these loan apps and play bet with it, with the hope of paying back after winning, little did I know that was the begging of my tears and tension. I borrowed a sum of 100k first, played a bet with it and lost it. In other to recover that back I borrowed another 200k and also lost it, to recover both back, I borrowed a whole 350k and also lost it, I thank God my limit was up so I couldn't borrow any more, maybe I would have even kept borrowing and playing.
Now I owe a huge sum of almost 800k ( interest included) to pay before 31st of January.

Currently I am in shambles, I have lost everything and have learnt the hard way. I now know that betting wouldn't get you anywhere and it is only meant to ruin lives. I am now in huge dept that I don't even know how to raise that money before that time, I can't even involve my families because it will be a huge disgrace to me.

Please Nairalanders, I welcome any insults you are willing to throw at me, I need advise and opinions on how to go about this, I am in complete breakdown and your advise will go a long way for me.
I also need advise on how I can be able to source for funds and also how I can get a job that will at least get me going. I am an intelligent person that can do lots of task but was just very foolish enough to go the wrong way.
As I said, I welcome your insults, thank you.

You have to take responsibility for your actions.

The day you stop betting, know that you've already won millions by your actions

The mouth is blamed for not speaking, while the ear is blamed for not hearing. If the loan companies publicise your status, some of your family members might claim that they would have rescued you if you had informed them. Therefore, it is better that you inform them now. It is likely that they will not help you. But instead of them to claim that they would have helped you if you had informed them, it is better for you to say that you informed them but they insulted you instead of helping you.

I swear on my soul that the day I bet again, let that be my last on earth. I even have the ability to borrow from another app, but I will not do it, never again. Lesson learnt in a very hard way

You are correct, but as you have said, they will not assist me. They will only insult and blame me.
