I see it's been a while since this was posted, but I'm curious if anyone here has had any updates or new experiences with this since then. Have things changed for you, or did you find a better approach? I'm at a similar stage and would love to hear how things played out or if there’s anything you’d do differently now.

Sir, the only thing that can stand the test of time or getting back at the bookies real hard is quitting all form of betting completely.

Good evening everyone, I just came online and very surprised to see my post on front page.

https://www.nairaland.com/8478675/betting-story-gamblers-liable-die


Anyway, I'll be sharing the full gist today. But I'll be sharing it in batches because I'm a bit occupied — trying to recoup some heavy losses I made last week.

But I'm a bit confused on how to go about it. I mean, should I be detailed about it — start from the day I placed my very first bet, or just a summary of my life story? Click like if you prefer the first, and share for the later.


Regardless of the option chosen, I'll be dropping the first batch by 6:30pm today. Brb

Thunder fire you for not keeping to your word........

1Alex:
he should have ZeroWorries as your moniker suggests.

Then on a serious note, Life is just like a football match.

In the first half, both teams come into the game with a game plan they’ve practice: formations, strategies, key players. They play with the strength of their preparation, trying to dominate, score goals, and control the match.

But at halftime, regardless of whether they are leading, trailing, or it's a draw, both teams return to the dressing room. That’s where reflection happens. Coaches analyze the first half; what worked, what didn’t, who underperformed, where the opponents exploited their weaknesses. They restrategize. Sometimes a losing team comes out in the second half with fresh fire and completely turns the game around.

That’s exactly how life is at 40.

Your first half (youth) may not have gone according to plan; mistakes, failures, missed opportunities. but halftime (age 40) is a gift to pause, reflect, and rework your strategy. It’s not the end of the game. In fact, many great goals are scored in the second half. Champions are often made after halftime adjustments.

At 40, a man should not sit back in regret. Instead, he should see it as the second half of his life’s game; time to replan, reinvent, and relaunch. The match is far from over. Many people didn’t even score in the first half but came out blazing in the second.

Hope is not lost. The final whistle is not yet blown. There’s still time to turn the game of life around.

Just like football, it’s the full 90 minutes (and sometimes extra time) that decides the winner, not just the first half.

word on marble!

labake1:
God please see my heart, I don't want a man that gambles
Amen

Amen......Gambling is the worst thing ever to happen to a man.

I'm talking from experience....

It's better to remain single than getting married to a gambler.

Chickensoup:
I find it hard to believe those are addictions but I might be ignorant.

The first goal of stopping an addiction is having a reason to see it as bad. Bad in the sense of harming you not religious or supernatural.

Second is the will power. Do you really want to stop it and are you ready to stop it.

Third is dedication. Are you constantly reminding yourself that those actions are bad and able to eliminate any thoughts of doubt.

Fourth is time. The body adjust to things we do everyday that is why we humans are very special.

The last is believe in yourself. Nothing is too late and until you start walking, you won't reach your goal.

Don't ask Nairaland members for contact details (email, phone, bbpin) or investments.

eejo:
over 24 hours ago GOD save me from Armed men who blocked the road during the day shooting people without care to life despite lot of check point by security forces. I observe that majority of the check point have no communication with each other and no central command for those security forces. Nigeria roads are worse than what it was in the 2000s. imagine over 25years Abuja, lokoja , Ajaoukuta road still under construction. Time for change have began because we cannot continue this way. The security forces deserve huge salary and the expansion of National call centre which is 112 to combat this crime.

Sir Ejoo.....I'm delighted nothing happened to you.

Welcome back to Nigeria even if this isn't what you envisaged.

CaveAdullam:
1. Like I said earlier you don't need to break the bank to look good.

With 5 - 10k, you'll get something nice to wear and a body spray to give you a good smell.

2. So, look for a job that will help you gain some money to help you provide those basics.

Back in the days, I told my mum that there are clothes we were asked to buy for lectures. I did so because I had bad clothes. She helped me. From there I started saving to buy new clothes on my own. That was in 100L years ago.

3. You seem like an autist or high IQ individual. If that's the case, you will have problem relating with people.

Average human is boring. If you want to be logical about human relationship, you will end up not making any friend. They will waste your time. They have nothing meaningful to say.

You just need to be outside and pragmatic. So that you can know how to fellowship with them.

4. I'm a Christian apostate. Lost that faith in 2021.

But guess what? I still go to church.

Why? Human relationship.

Despite the fact I don't believe whatever they are doing there, I still flow with them.

And I won't lie, being in church has earned me somethings good.

You don't need to impose your unbelief in them. And they won't impose their beliefs on you too.

It's all about being among a group of people that can grant you opportunities.

You can call it a paradox, irony, or even hypocrisy. But I don't care. Because I know that without human relationship we are nothing.

4. You must force yourself to be outside.

You'll gain nothing meaningful from a club. So don't start from there.

Go to game parks. Go to lunch parks. Go to church. Go to mosque. Go to the library. Join a community.

Ask questions. Talk to people.

5. Read and write too. Because once you are in the midst of people you need to showcase what separates you from them. That can be your intelligence, the way you talk, the way you analyse, the way you show concern, etc. This is how you start to build foundations that gives you opportunities.

6. Bro, you can't be poor, broke, and at the bottom of life and say you are an introvert. It's demonic. Fight it at all costs.

7. If you think you are not cute enough, run to your barber. He has the magic potion on what to do on your hair and looks.

Get good clothes. Get good spray. Get good perfume oils.

8. You don't need to act needy or clingy around people. When you are in their midst your enlightenment will help you.

Go out and talk to people.

Rise conversation with the aboki you buy suya from.
Rise conversation with the market woman you buy from.
Try to hold conversation for minutes even if it ought to end in seconds.

You will say something rubbish and annoying at the beginning. But with time you will get better.

The fear of embarrassment is what you holding you down.

But no master became great without soiling their hands and willing to be seen as fools.

Go out and talk to people.

Thanks.

CaveAdullam:
1. When you have verified that someone genuinely loves you, don't break that person's heart. Choose death rather. Or, end the relationship early.

Because not all lovers are weak. Betrayal may trigger their vindictive instinct and they'll come for your jugular like a vampire.

2. Don't bank on promises.

See promises as mere talk. Never abandon your path because someone promised you a brighter future.

3. Have a clear map of what you are doing. Have a plan.

What do you want in life?

Once you answer that question, you'll be able to see all the channels that lead to your destination.

4. Don't care what people will say.

They will mock you. They will ridicule you.

Don't pay attention to their statements. Follow your plan to the end.

5. Seek truth.

If your heart is always in the pursuit of truth, you'll gain knowledge and learn wisdom.

You don't need a preacher or counselor to constantly be on your doorposts advising you.

6. Appreciate beauty.

Stay away from ugliness of any form. Ugliness will always make you dwell on the negative side of life.

Appreciate beautiful nature. Stare at beautiful people and architecture.

7. Be kind.

8. Eye for eye. Tooth for tooth.

Don't allow criminals or sociopaths to go scot-free.

Forgiveness should come after punishment.

9. Learn to see the light in people.

No one is utterly useless.

However, don't pay attention to the unrepentant fool.

10. Learn to provide value.

Value will give you what you want or attract you to the people you admire.

11. Don't beg for food.

Don't beg for money.

Better to die poor and broke than to become a beggar.

Refuse to see begging as your last option.

Your ego should block you from begging.

It is better to do the dirtiest and most dangerous work to put food on your table than beg people.

Begging will hinder you from creating value and achieving freedom.

12. Always be optimistic.

No matter how tragic your travails are, be optimistic that one day you'll overcome.

Pessimism is a joy spoiler. You'll end up corrupting your soul and never see good in yourself or others.

13. Don't be an introvert.

Be part of a community.

No man is an island. Among others, you'll find a solution to some of your problems.

14. Learn to give. Be hesitant to receive.

The giver is always higher than the receiver.

Givers are lords over receivers. Just as it is better to be a lender than a borrower.

15. Dress nice. Smell nice.

Luxury isn't only in the cost. How you wear luxury matters.

Hardly anybody will ask you the cost of your shoes and clothes. So, you don't need to break the bank.

16. Life is a marathon. But it's better to run like a cheetah than walk like a snail.

Resources in life are scarce; first come, first serve.

Make smart moves always.

17. Avoid procrastination.

What needs to be done today should not be carried over to tomorrow. Because tomorrow might be too late.

18. Think in years, not days, weeks, or months.

This will help you know how to calibrate your time and work.

If I continue doing this for 5 years where will I be in the next 5 years?

It's important to curtail your foolishness early.

19. Hope is not a strategy.

Good work is.

Make sure you are doing something meaningful instead of wishing for a pool of Bethsaida miracles.

Those who work have no fear of the future.

20. Value people that value you.

Don't waste time on people who see you as trash. Except you are making money from them. However, dignity is better than the price of labor.

21. Don't just learn a skill.

Learn a skill you can easily leverage before the big success.

22. Humans are cunning and manipulative. Even you.

Learn to understand the game. And learn to protect your integrity.

23. People want you to fail. Because your failure will prove their points against you.

It's more reason you must work hard to prove them wrong.

They are your motivating factor for success, albeit from a contradictory angle.

24. Don't be afraid of failure.

You'll fail. So, allow yourself to fail.

Failure is part of progress. Life circumstances are not linear. It's haphazard and random.

Failure will teach you a good lesson.

Thanks.

Good morning sir.

Pls can you assist me how to figure out number 3?

Unknown to you, you are writing to me directly...God bless you for this great and wonderful sermon.

I appreciate sir!
