I Blew My Wedding Savings On My Gambling Addiction by dododawa1: 3:48pm On Dec 13, 2023 |
I never told my wife, even after we had fixed a date for the ceremony. I just kept telling her to hold on because money was coming, while using money that I ought to have given her for the preparations to play this game. When I couldn’t deliver on the day of the ceremony, I told her that a customer was owing me. But, I had lost ₦100,000. Did you win anything with this money? Yes. I won about ₦40,000 from the first game, then I used all of the winnings to stake in another game, where I won ₦230,000. That was what kept me playing, but I never won after that. Eventually, I just had to stop. Why did you go on for so long? Peer pressure. I could stake ₦10 and win about ₦2,400, then someone else would use N1,000 to play that same game and win ₦200,000, prompting me to raise my stake. And then there was this trend common in the area I stayed. You’d meet a mad man, who would give you random numbers to play and you would win big. That was before it turned into a popular scam to get gamblers to buy things for them. Mad men were lying and making people stake huge sums of money believing it would work. AHN AHN!! Did these numbers work and did you ever collect numbers from a mad man? Yes, sometimes it did. During my earlier days of playing I did meet a mad man, but it never worked for me. Oh wow. If you could give an estimate, how much do you think you lost to gambling? I’d say over ₦600,000 and my total winning isn’t up to half of that. Sometimes I’d win and end up using all of it to stake another game only to lose it all or win really small. What’s your biggest lesson from this? I learnt that gambling can be addictive. There were times when it felt like if I didn’t play in a day, something bad would happen. It can also take a toll on your health. I developed high blood pressure just trying to settle debts and ease the pressure from my wife back when we were still planning the wedding. My advice is to never gamble. Say no to GAMBLING. 1 Like 1 Share |

dododawa1: Addiction to gambling is based on ignorance. Enter sports trading. The profit is little but guaranteed without loss. I have been doing it for years. Go to YouTube Search for Nigerian Arbitrage Tutorial Watch as many then dump betting, move into Arbitrage and never loose again 1 Like |

Greed is the major problem of gamblers. Bet companies are not father Christmas too, they are out there to make money on gullible people. Wise people don't gamble with their money, it is only the ignorant ones with quick money syndrome that does. 1 Like |

woginid967: But arbitrage betting is pretty much an expensive venture.. it's attractive only to those that already have very huge monetary resources, and also, sustain themselves extensively for months with Just their already available resources... |

Lemme tell u this OP.. Sport betting can be very lucrative for any mentally resourceful bettor, but not a gambler... Gambling is the problem not sport punting or betting.. there are a few people out here that have spent years to learn and understand the situations behind the complex patterns of football/sports outcomes... These are the people you should seek... Not a Mad man... The complex patterns to consistent success in sports betting has long been conquered... Haven't you heard about foreign geniuses like tony bloom, Billy Walters... To name a few bro... That said, still doesn't mean many sport tipsters out here are legit... Most, if not all of them, are just business folks... Not real sports analytical genius... If u truly seek for the real geniuses , u will find them... |
