First start by deleting all apps relating to betting and stats predictions. From there you will also need to stop watching football( for now) and start engaging in more profiting activities like reading and praying. I hope this helps. 128 Likes 4 Shares |

You should start by seeing your losses as losses instead of trying hard to redeem them It's not too late to turn back, in fact the best time is now that you have realised you are drowning By now you should know you are not progressive Delete everything related to betting... Work on yourself more and engage your mind with books that will facilitate positive thinking Above all, pray to God for guidance 39 Likes 1 Share |

We have given advice to many people like you on this forum on this same topic in the past half decade or more. Many came back to say thank you for saving their destinies after following the step by step advice given to them. (We told them all thanks and Glory belongs to God alone.) We hope to come across one of those threads and give you the link. Too long to start typing all over again. May God save Naija youths from gambling. The number one Rule for Gambling is : NEVER bet with what you cannot afford to lose. But these ones will bet with their school fee, pocket money, they borrow loans to play bet, use friends and family members kept with them to play, they use their house rent etc..... Dem no dey telli person...... 12 Likes 4 Shares |

A lot of people, young and old are in cold grip of this vice called addictive betting First step is to delete everything thing concerning betting from your devices Second step is to make yourself (especially your finances) accountable to someone else (spouse, religious leader, mentor etc) Third step is get a support group Fourth and final step is to channel your energies to something else (academic pursuit, religious activities, increased studies for students and increased workload for workers) 10 Likes |

]How I stopped betting. First of all, I asked myself "why do I bet in the first place". I bet because of money. When I win, I make money, and when I don't win, I lose money. Sometimes I do win and make money, and other times I don't win and I lose money. After any given period of time (one week, one month, or a few months), I notice no matter what happens, I lose much more money than I gain. This made me realise it will be in my best interest to stop betting. And that's exactly what I did. And my financial life is better now. My advice to you op, you need to stop betting right now. If you stopped betting now, you will see the massive difference it will make in your life. Thanks so much! 16 Likes 3 Shares |

When the fun stops, stop! Gambling addiction has got to be the most dangerous addiction. I can give anything up but that one is proving very difficult. You just need to set your priorities right and spend more time doing more productive activities and maybe spend more time with your family. I usually don't think about betting when I'm low on funds so maybe keep your money somewhere you Can't easily get to. And if you cannot get over it, maybe it's time to really seek help through therapy. Goodluck! 3 Likes 1 Share |

You need to have someone you answer to. If you really want to work this out. Get a girl you trust. Let her handle your finances. Make sure it's someone you can die for o!! Someone you don't want to lose or disappoint. That way you know someone is monitoring you. Then you can start working on the other parts like not hanging out at bet locations, away from bet sites. And pray. It works too. I hope you find peace. 8 Likes 1 Share |

it depends on one's mindset every addiction in life is one's mindset. if you want to leave it you will, you have to restrain yourself but gradually cus it won't be easy. Find other legit way to earn extra cash to sustain you and your family. and if you play 5000 per week, reduce it to 100 per week only Saturdays, if it you win or lose don't play till the next weekend again 100. because I know you might have tried to quit completely, that won't be easy. just follow the 100 per week until your mindset changes to nothing per week. 7 Likes |

SEGLIZ: zeeace:Most gamblers are salary earners. You know the thing is we have a very cruel government. Most have stakes in the business. It's not supposed to be allowed to run in our beloved country. It's drenching a lot of young people's finances and turning them debtors. Sport betting and online gambling should be banned in Nigeria with immediate effect. Nigeria government is evil. Very evil. 6 Likes |
