My name is David. I'm a 24 year old young man. I'm in my final year in one of the universities in the south west.
I'm addicted to gambling. Like, I can't just help it.

The craze for this thing started sometime last year. It has eaten deep into me that it now dictates my mood. The only time I can be genuinely happy is when I win money from bet9ja virtual. If I should loose, it makes me very sad to the extent that I see myself as a useless person.

I've gone to the extent of using my school fees to play virtual and that of my course mate that trusted me so much. Though, I was able to pay my course mate's fees without her knowing the truth, I'm unable to pay mine till now. I always have this mentality that I will win.

Whenever money enters my hand like this, no matter how little, it is to head straight to Bet9ja shop or online. The urge is usually very strong. Sometimes, it seems like there's a force pushing me to do it.
Before this lock down, I accumulated a debt of over a hundred thousand naira in a Bet9ja shop in my school environment which I'm unable to pay till now.
I know the owner of the shop would be waiting to pick me up with police when I resume. I don't know what to do.

I need help badly. I've prayed to God severally but it's as if nothing is happening. I've even promised God not to play Bet9ja again but I keep on seeing myself still playing it.

Right now as I'm typing this, I just came from a Bet9ja shop where I lost money. Money that is not even my own. Sometimes, I feel like taking my life so that everything will just end but if I remember the pain it would cause my mother, I'll just hold back.

Please for the people that were once addicted to gambling, how did you stop it? Is there any remedy for it because I'm in need of it badly?

I can't sleep at night anymore because I'm always thinking of debts that I've accumulated which has run into over 300,000. All thanks to Bet9ja virtual.

Someone advised me to get a job that would keep me busy so that I won't have time to play virtual but there are no jobs. I don't mind doing any, even if it is a menial job till school resumes.

Please I need your advice. Feel free to bash me because I deserve more than that even.

Please I'd appreciate if you can move this to front page.

PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP! I CAN HELP YOU ! SEND A PM. I JUST SENT ONE TO YOU.

God Bless in Jesus' mighty name

Virtual Sport? Do you know the meaning of virtual, it means not real. Virtual sports games are simulated, and you can never win in the long run. If you win now, it’s just a matter of time you will lose all.

I was hoping you could stop, but don’t expect a miracle. First, cease betting on virtual sports. Second, go online and study a simple area of statistics called probability. Probability is sweet, and it will help you understand why you are failing and will continue to fail. Akin Alabi (Nairabet) has a net worth of $75million. Kunle Soname (Bet9ja) has a net worth of $100m, and he also owns a football club in Europe. These guys are after your life.
Guess what Sports bookmakers do if you are so profitable, they either limit your account or ban you. That’s why some people in advanced countries can’t even bet with their names or enter the casinos because they are too good. They don’t want you to win. Stop betting for six months, and study some statistics. I know we hate to study in this part of the world, but please close your bet9ja account and do that. Some people are genuinely killing it but not stupid Nigerians that bet on Leceister to win the league. The probability of that happening is once in 100years except if a wealthy Arab acquire the club and heavily invest. Also, not stupid Nigerians that pack 20 draws in a ticket. The probability if that happening is once in a lifetime. Not our less thinking youths that think they can beat virtual sports. Something already programmed to make bookmakers profitable. Greed is also killing us. Not our youths that want to use 50 Naira to win 1million Naira (greed).

Bookmakers software codes are everywhere on the internet. If you start yours today and you have just 5000 gullible/stupid customers, trust me you will become a multimillionaire. Akin Alabi, the smart guy quicky invest some of his money in politics because he believes someday the bubble will burst, we will have a better government to regulate them, and our youths will be wiser.

some people just spit out rubbish.life itself na risk.bet has help so many people from grass to graze why it has ruin many people too.@op na greediness they worry you.you want win with greed.see that can't work.like me I play bet for fun not do or die affair.i don't play every day twice a week.i don't play more than 1k a day if I like make I they with one million naira na 1k I go take play that is discipline.i plan myself and have been cashing out big time.see @op I don't play meaningless game.i play big odd,draw, correct score,full board , 3.5,4.5 like Monday I played correct score with 200 naira I won 178k cash after they pay me I left immediately went straight an bought a bike for higher purchase for the rider to balance 350k that is how I run my things with brain.that 178k I won was the first game i played on Monday with #200.so the logic of the game don't kill urself over it.you use brain to play if not you are gunner.i started bet 2018 since then have been cashing out big time.i have won 1.8 million, 800k, 450k, 370k 135k, 56k, 77k,20k an so on.but I have never play more than 1k a day an I don't play more than twice a week.that is a rule I set for myself.i have use my winnings for investment why some lavish there winnings on women.so @op if u do the calculation you see am at the winnings side.bet are played with brain @op if you can't use ur brain you stop it if not you go commit suicide.who quote me should hug transformer

MrBrownJay1:
p0rn/masturbation, drugs, gambling and junk food are addiction that are not easy to get rid of, unless you have a strong will and desire to do so. sadly, it looks like only when that dude you owe money will catch you (and severly deal with you) that you will hopefully understand that betting is rubbish. until then, no matter what we tell you, you will continue gambling

The House always wins... I gamble but with that knowledge I dey give myself brain, He needs to work on his impulse, today it's gambling tomorrow it's another addiction.

Getting a job will worsen your case so far you are still addicted to it

Meet your mum and share it with her and she will assist you emotionally with payers to see you through

You will come out of it if you break out

Determination is the key

CONGRATULATIONS...

Keep borrowing and staking.

Small time you go dey blame posterity.

MrDojo:
I feel for you David. Believe me, I really do. This year November will make it 3yrs since I played by last bet. I was once a compulsive gambler, too.

David, if you want to get out of that hell, you have to be determined. I know how many times I said I will stop gambling but continued to place bets. If you're religious, hold on to your God tight. Trust me, he's willing to help you, but you have to make an effort too.

As a student, a debt of 300k is already beyond you. My brother, open up to your family. Yes, they'll be disappointed, but it has to be done. You're still their son. If you're too scared to tell them, tell your religious leader to intercede on your behalf (I wouldn't recommend this, but it's worth a shot).

I won't lie to you, things will change after you tell them. Because it is a huge betrayal. However, it's something you have to do. They are the only ones that can bail you out of this mess.

This is the first step to true recovery.

Note: There's no work (legal) you want to do that will earn you that money before school resumes.

Second.

There is no magic on and off button to stop the habit. You have to kill with time and patience. Yes, you might relapse a couple of times, but don't be discouraged. After all, there was once a time you didn't gamble. It's very possible to get back to that time.

Third.

Please don't have thoughts of suicide. Please. I beg you. You can beat it. This phase in your life will surely come to an end. I'm very sure of that. Look at this addiction as a threat to your family (I'm talking about your parents, siblings and future wife and kids). You wouldn't want anything to happen to them, right? Then, fight it. I believe in you.

Fourth.

I will tell you the same thing my father told me back then, "David, you don't love yourself." It took me years to understand what he meant. It's such a simple statement, but has a very deep meaning. Believe me, when you learn to love yourself, you would have won half of the fight against the addiction.

Now what does loving yourself mean? It will be very easy for me to give you the answer, but will you really learn anything from that? I'd advise you to take a retrospective look at your life. Ask yourself, "Do I really love myself?"

Don't feel pressured. There is no right answer to it.

Fourth.

You need to change your cycle. Now, I'm not saying you have bad friends or anything like that. This is just a means to preserve your reputation among your friends. If you keep on hanging around them, you'll only see them as another person to borrow from. With time, they will despise the person you have become.

If you really have great friends, they can help you through the battle. I had some good friends, but I couldn't open up to them (I was quite young back then, but that's not really an excuse).

Fifth.

Use something you love to substitute for gambling addiction. The greatest accomplishment in my life is ending my gambling addiction (With God's grace and mercy). Every since I was a teenager, I dreamed of writing books, animes and comics. I had always wanted to write but gambling had stolen my mind from me. To fight back, I started reading novels. No matter the genre, I'll read it. Soon, I started writing. People started complimenting my work. This gave me a sense of responsibility. I didn't want to disappoint by readers, so I wrote some more. One day... One week... One month... One year... Now I'm here.

What I'm trying to say is that you should find something else to replace your passion for gambling. Forgive me for my choice of word.

Sixth.

If possible, go offline for a couple of weeks. Use a simple phone. If you need to read news, buy a newspaper. I know this is very difficult to do in 2020, but it will help your urges. Aviod anything that can act as a trigger. Don't watch football or think of any sport for that matter. It's hard, but it's doable.

Seventh.

David. Take it easy on yourself. You're only human. Don't allow your mistakes to define you. Yes, you have made mistakes, but don't allow them to weigh you down. However, keep it at the back of your mind that those mistakes will surely cost you. That's life. But it doesn't have to define your future.

I lost some good friends and several opportunities because of the addiction. But I'm grateful for where I am today.

Believe me, in a couple of years, you'll smile while thinking of this day. Then you'll be chilling in your own house staring at your massive swimming pool. You just be saying, Thunder fire gambling.

Eight.

Please ignore any news concerning massive winnings on bet9ja or another gambling site. Let me tell you a secret.

There are some people in this life, if they don't work for something, they can never get it. Say person win 7m. Brother David, please ignore. It's tempting but no be everybody get that luck.

I would have shared more with you, but I feel this should be okay. David. You can beat it. I believe in you. I'm no one special, yet I beat it. Definitely, you'll also beat it.

Note: please aviod borrowing. It can be tempting. Please aviod it.

Finally, David please learn to love yourself. I truly believe you will beat this addiction. I can already see you testifying.

Have a great night brother. The Devil can never waste your destiny.

P.s. I'm sorry for any grammatical errors.

The most sensible response here

I pray may no money no matter big or small ever enter your hand except that you'll use for eating. Only this way you can quit gambling 100% because you can only play the likes of Bet9ja with money.

No vex boss please can you send me the Betslip id make i check so as to learn your pattern.

Life is a lesson, as a student I have two options for you

1) Get busy studying the word of God, and help out at home doing house work and attending daily church services

2) Get kids in your area and teach them maths or English language, parents can pay you 1k per child learn to save this money to pay your debt by getting a box and store the money inside until it is complete,

Lastly free your mind and create a mind that sees Bet9ja as evil destroying people's future.

@Poster

You're already addicted to this, and honestly, you're the only one that can get yourself outta the mess, as schools never resume now, go dey learn one work/skill, either informal or digital one.

Lastly ba, I get one solution wey dey work Wella, genuinely make an oath with whatever you serves, and place a DEEP curse on yourself should you returned to gambling. It will restrict you till your mind is totally free of it.

"Lastly ba, I get one solution wey dey work Wella, genuinely make an oath with whatever you serves, and place a DEEP curse on yourself should you returned to gambling. It will restrict you till your mind is totally free of it."

Bad advice. Do not curse yourself under any oath.

The repercussion is always too grievous when you break the oath.

Please don't do anything foolish to yourself! We rather have you alive than dead! Find a replacement for your addiction! Maybe you need to change environment! Even friends that gamble! May GOD see the cries of your heart and help you! Amen! https://www.God.bingo
