To who this may help. Of all addictions in life, I think GAMBLING is the worst. Though, no addiction is good, but trust me, for a one time addict in gambling, it's on another level. Aside from my personal experience of being a chronic gambler, I tried to study other core gamblers around me. Though some kept getting the funds to gamble as they have other great source of income, but I noticed the restlessness, and the crazy urge to recover some lost money from betting. If one could get close to them, you will feel how disturbed they are on a daily basis, and changes in some aspect of their lifestyle going downhill from the norm.

I started my betting journey 9 years ago. As a promising and aspiring young guy, but today, I have nothing to show for it, except a failed life, and only hoping a miracle will happen somedays. No money, wearing rags as clothes, no love, serious depression. The only thing left for me is HOPE. Some will say one can bet responsibly. I won't dispute that, but majority of we humans lose balance or focus along the way, and later become addicts. If you are already in it, and you noticed that you have that capability to control your mind diligently, and not swayed by the crazy urge to win, or the anger of losing, then good luck. But like the saying goes, prevention is better than cure.

My final conclusion is that one should not indulge in any form of GAMBLING. It's possible to stop as I am a living witness. You just need to purnish or fight your urge to do it with all your inner strength, and FLEE from any environment or instruments that might make u want to go back to it. You could think you don't have that inner or mental strength to stop, but that is a big lie. Sometimes, u might think that your betting case has some diabolical roots (village people). All these are lies, I thought so too, even more, but today, I am free. I am just hoping for better times ahead.

The day I lost over 50k within 30 minutes was the day I gave myself brain. Since then, bet9ja has been sending me emails that I have received 3k, 1k, etc bonus that I should login to bet with it....I bid them farewell with their prey in form of bonuses
