Good! That's the first step, wanting to stop! Like the saying goes, Just do it! Uv made a decision to stop, you will fail, but don't relent! Change your ways, change your friends if they are into it, find someone to tell, you know can stop you when you have the urge, it's not easy to break an addiction, you replace it. Find something to do, start reading, take up a position, in church or smwhere, if a road leads to a bet shop, take the other road, or find another road. Read proverbs and finish it. You will be fine, we have a saying.. person morning na when in wake.. and Take Responsibility, find a Job to raise money for your postUme, don't get a hand out, work for it, u go rethink wen u wan lose am. And another thing, masturbation is another one you will have to run from. It will destroy you more than this one is already. You will be fine, trust the process, and rembr have the destination in mind, not the path. God bless.

Betting should be ban In Nigeria.. seriously it has make make many Nigeria. Useless and. Many of people have lost all there life saving in it....

@Hardlife.

Can't people for once be real. See stupid comments about him playing wisely. Who amongst you has made a living betting away your lives? There are millions of Nigerians who are currently cut up in this currently. You see young working class people who after the first week of payment are back to zero because of betting. The mood swings they experience is harrowing. You can see it in their eyes. One second they are happy because of the expectation of winning, the next they are extremely sad and moody because they just lost a huge sun.

Op. You are learned and educated. First fact, you need help. You can't do it alone. You need the help of a specialist. Gambling and other social vices are addictive and ruin lives. They need to look at what compulsive behaviors is pushing you into such and ways of mitigating.

It is easier saying you would stop but if you don't really develop defense strategies against going back all your vows are just noughts.

As for the useless people who would come here to tell you to bet better that they have made it. Kindly ignore them. They are in a worse position. Misery always wants company.

And praying alone doesn't change a thing. You need a change of actions, environment, mentality and lots positive thoughts to pull out of this.

It is high time government banned betting. Millions of youths are being destroyed.

Hardlife:
Please try and read to the end.
I am a young guy early twenties. I
have been playing virtual since 2014.

You first have to accept you are primarily responsible for your life. Blaming others for your misfortune is wrong. You are the worst compulsive gambler I have seen. I do not even know what to tell you but you must start by being responsible for your own life and stop blaming others. I wish you the best.

U people should not waste ur time, this one no fit change again
















Nah only u fit help urself!!!

Guy abeg no spoil business for me I have a bet9ja shop, nobody forced u to use ur school fees to play game

Xtine22:

bro, don't give up! continue playing as you may chop 50m one day to recover ur losses.... always play sure game

Ode ...mumu...so no be sure game him dey play before?

latexxbro:
I seriously don't know how this becoming addictive to something like this happens but I believe I have control over my life,First of the you have passed the first stage ehichbis to admit you have a problem and the second stage that u want to stop and now the last stage is just simple ,TO STOP.
well maybe whenever you want to goto a virtual house ,Go with a little amount of money,and also really try avoiding going there, Actually most people reason of gambling is for money but tour case seems different because ur parents do give u money...try going there three times a week and reduce the amount of time u spend there....Actually I have a a lot to say but reading advice on line like this doesn't really work on people that are addictive....Maybe try to tell a good friend you trust or make friend with your pastor,I'm sure he will give a better advice....

You better start doing yahoo that would put a stop to your predicament there you will realise you have been scammed by Alabi and co

This story is playing out all across Nigeria. No one is regulating gambling. Peoples lives are being destroyed. The house always wins.

Where do you reside?

Bro.

I also had this problem but I got out on my own.

The way I got out might not be applicable to you
But it might help.

You can only cure addiction with another addiction

I started by not going to the virtual shop for a week.

After realizing that I didn't die.
I extend it to a month.
I started replacing my virtual addiction with going to friends auoz. Playing games with my friends and also doing chores

With the numbers of people reading this post u would know many people need help with this problem but too shy to come out so they are reading secretly to get solution ..lol

just know u can stop it

you can if u want to

most men played virtual but learn to control yourself, I played with money I don't need and will never risk anything less than 2k on virtual again, I have never lost 10k a day, since the day I lost 7k a day, my eyes has open, I limited it anyway to 2k lost once a while then I start going with just 1k because they also show free matches there, ever since I chose to go with 1k, it's either I come with 100 naira daily or come with 4k or less

Bro, you story started on a sad note but this last episode is beginning to look like its a big fat lie being cooked up by you to gain public sympathy or a way of getting back to the betting shops cuz of a bad deal or a terrible loose...which ever way, remember that not everyone can be fooled.

jksxxxx:
Dear I was like you virtual is worse than MMM when I tell people they would feel it's a lie ..see the only way you can get rid of the habit is this
1. Learn not to hold cash at hand .
2.Get your self occupied ..because you tend to visit the betshop when you have thing doing
3. tell yourself that you are a changed man and by being change you need to know that the winnings are not for you .so ignore those that are winning because the gambling system on a long wrong you loss 80 percent of what you won
4. It take 31 days for something to become and habit .so take your alarm and calender and write a reminder every 7am and 7pm reminding you on your promise to stop betting .
5. It is not too late to tell your parents because with Thier prayers you can over come ..me I lost over 900k to virtual from 2017 to 2018 now for 4 months I can say I have not visited or login Thier system .
6. Make sure you destroy your ATM card and never leave money more than 1k in your hand ..with the above include prayers and God would see u through

With the way this Topic is going, I guess I would set up my own Virtual shop & put someone there & reap millions. Actually all the owners of betja, Nairabet etc are in Lekki reaping their Billions at the detriment of others. You need to see the way these guys are living. The Nairabet guy even wants to contest for Election next year.

he has so much money, its only Power he needs.

Well, I was once addicted to playing virtual games too though...
but since I got free from it, I've been wondering what got me there at first!.

Tolax17:
It's alarming how many young men are wasting their dear life, resources and time on gambling. You want to earn what you didn't work for. You're a fraud.
Thousands of young men play bets, how many have become millionaires- red flag
I can never pity someone like you. What you planted, you're ripping!

You need rehab

You are so dumb. someone in his teens got into gambling and gradually became addicted and now crying out for help and all your dumb ass has is to judge him. If you don't have anything positive to say then shut the fvck up!

well,bros,i was once like u. i spent my salary on virtual and girls until my eye clear and i realize that have,been,wasting my time,strength and money.

i never win big while plating virtual it just like pouring water in d baskket i have no new clothe. if i look at my friend the way they dress i feel ashame. i did not stop playing it at once,cos it hard.

no 1. dont go,close to whrre they are gambling
2. open a bank account and damage,the atm be using withdrawal slip if u need,money to buy stuff
3. whe going out. take only #100-200 with u. if u play with this and u lose u wont really feel bad
4. if you are to be playing virtual play 3 times in a week
on monday, dnt go on tuesday play on wednesdag dont play on thursday,friday, play on saturday.
tje following week limit to 2 days

that how you can,over come,d,virtual temptation

He can never get past the addiction. It takes years of constant therapy and denial.
Withdrawal symptoms can drive him crazy.
Put him in a cozy environment after this rambling,he will rush back again

Don't ever start. That's the best advice

I just feel for the poor parents that thought they had a son who will help them in their old age

Cc hardlife, I once a virtual addict. I take my studies serious though.
How I quit, I went to Lagos last year, I had pay my previous rent and school fee. my sister transferred 40k into my account immediately after the ASUU strike, I went and finish 30k in shop in just two hours.

From then I decided never to play virtual again.

I've been wanting to open a bet shop for awhile now. My fear is repercussions. If people like these are sad because of how much they have lost, will God's punishment be yours because somehow, you were responsible for it?

post=69181388:
Firstly, ignore all negative comments you read here and only take to the ones that will help you.

We want to tell you initially to let your family know.
Good to know to have done that already. 
So after passing your jamb exam, after all the tears from you and mom you still went back to it?
We thought it was going to stop there. 
You are the only one that can help your self here.
Gambling is very very addictive.
Your life is really wasting away as you said.
When you really make up your mind and say I WILL NEVER PLAY VIRTUAL AGAIN or I WILL NEVER ENTER ANY VIRTUAL SHOP AGAIN and you keep to it.
That will be the beginning of you being a new person.
TO STOP IT REALLY DEPEND ON YOU.
GO through this website, it may help.

I am glad you have made the decision to quit already.
Anyways, forget about all you have lost in the past, that is the NUMBER ONE thing gambling does to you, (it says, let me recover the money I have lost and I will stop) then the losing streak goes on and on.
Forget all that you have lost in the past and concentrate on the future.
Wish you all the very best.

Once more , MAKE UP YOUR MIND FINALLY AND SAY I WILL.NEVER STEP INTO ANY VIRTUAL SHOP ANYMORE.

This man so you have this kind of sense. The first time your comment have impressed me

Guy 'am just like you but not exactly 'cause I don't play virtual only bet on matches and stake from #100 to #200 sometimes even #300 for almost 2 years now but only won once and since then I've been loosing. I won #5800 and lost about #70000.

I am going to help you even though I am not a gambler. Around 2013, I was at Cele Bus Stop on Akowonjo Road in Egbeda drinking beer & eating pepper soup with a friend.

There was a Baba Ijebu kiosk just by the beer parlour. It was on a Saturday evening and I noticed people in their tens trooping towards the Baba Ijebu kiosk.

And then suddenly, I saw a policeman alighted from a Sienna van with his wife and walked towards that Baba Ijebu kiosk.

Then Iblis (Satan) entered into my friend and he told me we should go to the Baba Ijebu kiosk to observe what was going on.

I plugged the bottle of my Heineken beer into my mouth & downed the content in a gulp. We got up and matched in the direction of the Baba Ijebu kiosk like soldiers going for illegal oil bunkering in Port Harcourt.

I noticed people were yelling at the Baba Ijebu agent to input & play some numbers for them.

An Igbo guy pulled over by the kiosk & alighted from his Infinity FX something (I can no longer remember the model). He stretched forth his hand to pass a slip of paper on which some numbers were written to the Agent.

Guess what? Right in front of my eyes, the Igbo guy staked 50,000Naira on just 3 numbers.

As the agent was punching the numbers into his red machine, I positioned my neck like a Peruvian giraffe just to catch a glimpse of those numbers - and I saw "single 5, 12, 48". I quickly brought out my Blackberry phone and typed the numbers in my notepad so that I do not forget them.

I equally copied more numbers from other "professional gamblers" who were at the kiosk to play the lotto.

Eventually, I staked about 4,500Naira on 11 different numbers altogether. My friend did the same. We were handed a ticket confirming the transaction & we went back to the beer parlour & ordered more drinks while awaiting the results.

An hour later, a guy who was at the kiosk when I played came shouting "Bros, you don win, result don commot". I left my beer & jumped to the kiosk like a cheetah chasing an impala.

I quickly gave my ticket to the agent, he looked at the numbers told me I had won 37,000Naira including my friend. We started jubilating& gyrating. We collected our winnings & ordered 2 cartons of guilder for our well wishers & the people who congratulated us on account of our glorious success.

And that was how my 3-month internship with Baba Ijebu and my journey into gambling was commissioned & activated by Iblis (Satan) and his entire hosts from Hell Fire.

My Advice To You:

I want you to write the following quote boldly on a thick piece of paper, laminate it, keep it in your wallet and be reading it out loudly morning & night for the rest of your life.

"Gambling is the child of avarice, the brother of iniquity, and the father of mischief.” – George Washington
