Am a gambler also, an addicted one.it's not easy to quit gambling, only GOD grace can help.
it almost ruined my life back in school,but I managed to graduate.I sold my properties too back then,not easy bro,I experienced almost what you mentioned. My graduation was a GOD grace.
All money I realised during my service year was spent on gambling. I can't count my loss,all work that have done back to my employment since 2016 can't be accounted for.
my advice for you is to stick to GOD,cry your heart out,stay far to betting shop and get yourself busy.Addiction will reduce over time.Mine has reduced not overrule.

Hardlife:
seriously bro. You think i am joking. Did i beg you for money. All i need are the recovery processes to get my life back. I am frustrated. Thank you for your understanding

What makes him a scammer?
U people needs to know when to call someone unpleasant names

doubleportion:
Even though I don't do gambling, I discovered from your submission that you put yourself in this situation. Why because you are too greedy! I know some habitual gamblers that will never use more than #100, #200 to to play,wisdom they said is profitable to direct. Your solution begins by telling your parents the truth in other to get life back on track. But before then you need extra ordinary strength to help your ordinary strength which you earned by giving your life to Jesus Christ. He will rehabilitate you. But I know the devil will not want you to toll that lane,the more reason you need to surmmon courage. I didn't see you a gambler,I see you as someone who carries great grace.

YOu are ryt to some extent,i was also a very huge fan of gambling in school,but i never for once used either my fees,rent or textbook money to gamble..the op said he started visiting brothels,the truth is dat he wasnt just a gambler,,he was also a cultist and also does drugs..i know of big men that gamble but wisely..

Hardlife:
PLEASE I KNOW ALOT WILL NOT BELIEVE MY STORY. PLEASE IF YOU HAVE BEEN ADDICTED TO VIRTUAL GAMBLING. ONLY THEN WILL YOU UNDERSTAND.

I WANT TO GET MY LIFE BACK TOGETHER AGAIN. I AM TIRED. PLEASE HELP ME SOMEONE ONCE TOLD ME THAT LOSING MONEY WAS NOT THE PROBLEM I THINK I HAVE. THE WAY MY SUBCONSCIOUS MIND AND BRAIN HAS BEEN REWIRED IS THE BIG PROBLEM. TRUTH BE TOLD, I FEEL RESTLESS WHEN I DONT HAVE MONEY TO PLAY.

WHENEVER I AM PLAYING, I GET THIS HIGH LEVEL PEOPLE GET WHEN THEY SMOKE WEED. I FEEL FUELED. THE BIGGER THE AMOUNT I STAKE, THE BIGGER THE THRILLS I GET. HOW CAN THIS BE POSSIBLE. COULD THIS BE THE REAL REASON I AM ADDICTED AND NOT BECAUSE OF MY LOSSES

Hardlife:
please were you addicted to virtual before. How did you overcome it. I cant stay a minute without thinking about my life and money i have lost. Right now, my heartbeat is above normal. I am so frustrated. Please help me.

You are an addict and gambling is your addiction. You should seek out psychiatric help. Tell your parents you need help to overcome this addiction and they should take you to a psychiatric hospital.

OK, here is my help.

THIS IS THE TECHNIQUE I DEVELOPED AND USED TO DEFEAT MY BAD HABIT

Attachment to bad habits is usually caused by the love to engage in such habits or the feeling of satisfaction or sense of fulfillment derived.

If you develop hate in what you love that thing you love depreciates until you forget about it. There are things in your life that you used to love but you start loosing interest in those things the moment you get less interested or give less time to it, Reason is because your mind is not focused on those things like before so since you are not thinking about it then it becomes irrelevant.

Power of the Mind: control your thoughts, focus on something you cherish in life whenever the thoughts of gambling creeps in.

Develop fear: Think of the dangers of loosing again whenever you have an urge to play a bet, accept you will loose the bet before playing it..so no need to play and loose again, dont give yourself any hope of winning a bet.

Create an enemy of it: Nobody wants to have anything to do with an enemy, betting is the enemy that seek to destroy you, accepting it as a friend is you giving it a license to kill. Stay away from that enemy like a plague.

Copy all I typed up there somewhere you can have access to e.g your phone, Read it anytime that enemy shows up with the sweet talk of your chance of winning a bet.

Now you have a weapon to fight back.

Whatsapp me, I wanna try to help +233549108926

the main reason you are a chronic gambler.
One, you are idle.
Two, you are greedy.
Three, you are still in the comfort of your zone.
Four, you are emotionally weak.
Lastly, you hangout with bad friends..

Now solution..
One, seek a local church in your locality and dedicate your life to jesus.
Two, find something reasonable doing to earn money .
Three, hangout with people that will impact your life positively.
Four, go to library every day and read life changing books.
Lastly, get your self a girl friend to always spend time with..
Dont sex her or fornicate,,just normal friendship...share your feelings, your happiness, good and bad time together

Virtual kills faster than HIV/Aids


The moment you step into a bet9ja shop and played your first virtual game and loose, just walk away immediately!

else, you will continue loosing throughout that day.

Know when to walk away and don't stake what you can't afford to loose.


Some people will want to use #150 to win 1million in virtual.

when you no be winch

Perhaps that virtual shop you played your first game was initiated that anybody who plays bet there must die with betnaija

You cannot stop it by your power, it is Jesus that will help you find a Church and give yourself over to it

Hardlife:

Go easy on the sanctimonious talk. Gambling is one of those addictions you hope you do not stumble into. Alot of Nigerians are being snared. It's the same way they are snared by mmm etal. The difference in this case is that the govt has still not intervened.

The phrase used to describe gambling is 'the house always wins'. Even if you hammer small today, you wil lose it after.

I saw a frightening ad where a couple were planning to buy stuff from proceeds of gambling money. Truly frightening, as people may actually be dumb enough to believe betnja is in the business of dashing people money

What exactly are you saying, you are expecting government to shut down the business or what? Do not be ridiculous. I am indeed superior to this OP when it comes to having control over my life even though that was not my intention when I wrote. I started betting online when nairabet only offered 1X2 markets. I lost $200 in a single bet 2013. This world Cup I put up N5k, the moment I lost it I backed out.

People should learn to have direction and control over their lives. It is not for government to ban when people are not disciplined.

These things happen in all spheres of life, people abuse life saving medication, their finances and others, you should not expect government to intervene by banning.

Since online betting came to Nigeria, it has spurred a new industry and created direct and indirect employment for thousands of Nigerians. You can not destroy all that because some punters have lost control of their lives.

I started wearing my friends clothes.
Hunger and pains never departed
from me. But i kept on playing virtual
wasting my life. I sold all my properties to the state
where i had just one jeans and few
old shirts. Even when i won big amounts,
instead of using the money for
myself. The next day i will go back to
bet shop and loose everything again. All these while, i still go home to take
food stuff and money even though i
was not a registered student. I was scared to tell my parents of the
happenings in my life.
My life became useless. I started
visiting brothels and going out with
my friends to smoke. Dear reader, i have suffered in this
life. Some of my friends abandoned me
because of the way my life became. I
became a laughing stock and
deemed worthless. Still i kept on
playing. Its like my brain was locked
in a bottle. I stole, borrowed money all to gamble
in virtual. I spent people's money to gamble. I
became a vagabond. All the money
being sent to me in school, virtual
took

bet9ja did not finish you.you finished yourself because you did not gamble wisely plus your greed.betting is not for everybody.I have made some good money from bet9ja.though I don't play visual. and I don't play more than 4 odds. young man stop betting because your head no carry luck for bet9ja

Good morning bro.. It's not easy have experience a bad habit which took the better parts and years of my life but I was introduced to this site..

Don't give up hope

Virtual is a scam, let me analysis it for you if you can comprehend, the system is already programmed to go take note of the most bet where most people stake money, and where stakes are least, the system will play least stakes to win while most stakes lose, if not why will man c lose at home 0-1 to a team like west brom most people will think man c will 3 goals up n stake virtual will bring u back to earth, people stake heavily on the top 6 league teams but it will shock u the least expected 3 teams will win on virtual. it's already programmed, to will watch where most people stake n stake against u will win cos if 10k people around 9ja stake man u,, man c, Liverpool, Chelsea, barca Madrid, PSG, juve, beryern m to win if virtual should allow it come just 1ce or 2ce they will pack up.

Hardlife:
Please try and read to the end.
I am a young guy early twenties. I
have been playing virtual since 2014.
I was never this useless and
unpurposeful.
My life changed when i entered university.
It all started in 2014 when i walked
into a nairabet close to my school and
saw people playing virtual. I decided
to play, as i remember i won that
period. I never knew the day i started was the
day i gave the devil the key to my life. In 2014, i spent my school fees on
virtual, lost everything. Sold my
phones, my feeding money and
everything. All went to virtual. So i was not able to continue my
education, though i remained in
school not letting my parents know till
this year. Dear reader, from 2014 to date have
been the worst years of my life. I stole
to play virtual, sold my properties, my
clothes, shoes. I became an addict. Even not being a
formal student, i still collected money from my parents, school fees
and allowance. Everything ends up in
virtual house. I could not even buy good clothes.

Bro, Jesus says come unto me all you who are heavy laden and I will give you rest for your souls.

Bro, I use to work with bet9ja and have seen how people waste their life away it's always said but I was only doing my job.... the best way to overcome this addiction is by accepting the fact that you can't win your lost money back accept defeat you lose. anytime you pass thru the place always remember that you lost and they won, that gives you inner peace and you can start your life from somewhere. wishing you all the best bro.

CaptJeffry:
You must be a stupid gambler. I gamble in Vegas whenever I spend a weekend there but I stick to my limits.

Anyway why am I wasting my time when you might just be a random scammer.

to be honest I wanted to offer a word of advice, but on a second thought, I felt he's a scammer. He just registered his account yesterday. And might deactivate it once his mission is accomplished.

I still remember in the year 2015,during my school days,I was so broke to the extent that I had no money,luckily for me,one of my friends gave me 500 free.I started making budget on the cheapest food to cook


100....kerosene

200....rice

50....oil

50....maggi,onions,pepper,onga

50...crayfish

50....tomato


I was going to the market to purchase these itemz,unfortunately,I saw a friend infront of one bet 9ja chop in my street,after exchanging pleasantries,he said he has correct score(visual soccer)I decided to use 200to try my luck,hoping that if I win,I will use the money to add fish or meat to my jell of rice.......na so I lost everything dia,I nearly died
