Play real event instead of virtual. The illusion you are made to believe. The difference is that you lose faster in virtual than real event.
You say betting is a roller coaster and wasted your time, yet you said you won't ask anyone to stop it. That's the trap. Self imposed trap. You are not sure if you gaining from it or not.
Money is not the only thing lost in betting. You lose:
Peace of mind: You are always anxious especially when you are monitoring the bets.
Integrity: You find yourself lying to people.
Savings: You don't have any money left as you even bet with your feeding money.
Relationship: Some people will distant themselves from you as a result of the effects.
Health: You can have high blood pressure and mental health due to frustrating outcomes of games.
Marriage: It can adversely affect your family and can destroy homes.
Spirituality: You lose faith in God as you have put faith in gambling.
Plus many other things you lose
All things should be done in moderation. All you listed happens in all aspects of life, business or investment is still the same thing... Know when to quit, is the rule of life.

There's no part of life that all you listed isn't involved... Even religion sef, you merely hanging on "Faith", while reality remains you have no clue if it'll pay off.

Everything should be done in moderation

I always loose money to virtual, there's this betkiing shop opposite my street, they do other businesses like POS transactions, anytime I go there to withdraw money, I'd end up playing virtual bets.

Its very simple , go and open an account with any of the banks , give them order to debit certain amount once it enters your account. set the new account that is being credit to withdraw only after 6 months. Continue working and betting with what is left . Have a strong plans on what to do with the money after 6month and do it immediately or fix it again.

People will say stop. but like with any other addiction, if you can just stop it wont be addiction

I started praying and hating the habit. But i still went out of compulsion. Its not a straight forward solution its a painstaking striving relentlessly from same place as the addiction is coming from. The heart. In other words dig deeper.

the begining is prayer. Let God be the start of your quest. The faith you can quit in the end has to be pinned on something higher than yourself since you cant trust yourself now. God is stable, is why men over time learn to faith in him.

Secondly, If you did not become an addict one day you cant quit one day. So keep going there but hate yourself each time you come out and curse yourself. Thessame way you will curse a stupid person if he wasting resources. With time your psychology will build his own resilaince. Gambling is starked on greed and desperation. its the back spirit. Be consciouse like that. You are a greedy desperate person.Tell yourslef if you are making decent earining whats the desperation for. Gradually the urge will slow down. It all about the urge meanwhile, find something that occupies you most hour of the day. Me i sunk myself immmensly into my work. That way i did not have spare time for myself or any other habit. Before i knew i was addicted to work. You must be addict of somthing. Just let it be the good things. You will be fine my guy. See you on the other side.

Well, you're not alone.
And the truth is, once you start it is not easy to stop.
I believe you're not married.
Make sure your children don't fall prey.
But for you, I must tell you it's very difficult.
I've seen someone who can't buy a shirt of N7k but can loss N7k like 10times in a month to virtual.
When your parents or someone close to you told you that gambling is bad, they were talking from experience but most of us refused to heed their advice.
Shits happen, just reduce it.

Do you smoke or visit brothels?
Re: How Do I Conquer Gambling Addiction Please �� by tyboy(m): 12:38pm On May 20, 2025
The day you start playing virtual bet just know that your village people have gotten you. I have been there.
Virtual bet will drain you to the last kobo you have, I can't really say it is demonic because you will not have control over your self again , you will want to recover what you have lost ,you will keep playing and losing the more. The little time you win is just to draw you more closer to losing more.
Virtual bet will make you a chronic liar, you will sell your properties . you will just be in debt. In a space of one hour you can lose all what you worked for in life. I am talking from experience please stay away from gambling ,stay far far far far far... Away from virtual bet.
It can lead you to depression and later suicide thought.
The lord that delivered me will deliver you on time before it get to late

Obsessive compulsive disorder...that's what you got
Get and into a standard Pharmacy and tell them to give a drug for OCD.
You don't just walk into a pharmacy and get OCD drug!!!!
What is wrong with you people?

What's the work of nafdac and health ministry in Nigeria for heaven sake!
No public education and awareness.

treatise:
Donald Trump who's a messiah to Christian fundamentalists has casinos(gambling or betting) ; take this from me, virtual games are meant to drain punters but if you must bet do live sports by following recommendations from experts. Betting is a business of speculating future outcomes of sports activities just the way people speculate forex and crypto future prices. Be disciplined or visit other POS shops in order to avoid temptations.
Ok,thanks,I've stopped doing withdrawal in that particular shop.
Re: How Do I Conquer Gambling Addiction Please �� by Ebuka78: 12:52pm On May 20, 2025
The only way for you to quit is to go back to that shop, sit, and watch as other people play, lose, and go back home, return, and lose again.


You will get healed instantly.



Make sure as they are losing, you are smiling.
