Sport betting have really changed the lives  of many individual and have also leed most people to poverty in Nigeria am a victim also at first you will be benefiting from it thinking that you will be winning every Day.
Am advising any one who is involved into sport betting to avoid it now it's not good for you please

Most of you will be gambling and betting but you will not read the gambling sites terms of service in details. I have read up to 5 or more gambling sites ToS and I always saw that the service they offer is not for money making to gamblers. They against compulsive gambling. But most of you people want to earn money while gambling.

If you are gambling and not having fun from it, you should stop gambling. People that do not have fun while gambling are people that are losing more than what they can afford to lose.

Well, in my humble opinion, it is the exact opposite. The thrill and fun (adrenaline rush) will keep demanding more money to gamble in order to feel good, which eventually leads to financial losses because of the negative expected value nature of all casino games. On the other hand, people who are not used to adrenaline spikes can more easily cope with gambling-related problems.

Sport betting is one of the most popular types of betting in the country that I know about, so if I may ask, since you are advising people to stop sport betting, are you telling them to go into other forms of betting and just avoid sport betting? 
 
You made a mistake by thinking you have control over the system, but at the end you end up losing it all, and it's good you have been able to retrace your steps now.
 
You can avoid anything that has to do with betting and focus your life on other things. If you want to advise someone to leave betting, they should leave all manner of gambling because all is addictive depending on how you treat it.

Hard truth to shallow, sadly 90% of Nigerians if not more want to make it through gambling especially since this country is in this current state notably student while they have had ups and downs from it, those who put their all hope on it often suffer from it, getting addicted and then using school fees or other important academic funds for it while blaming in it on gambling in the end after all.

True and also while having fun is important to have a book to observe your spendings maybe monthly or more I.e base on the one more feasible for you because addiction do creep in in various ways.

What kills is the fact that because we or someone we know might have won something big before doesn't gives us the criteria to continue betting and expecting something good, it will often end with regrets. Just like how someone might be able to flip tens of dollars to thousands of dollars in a meme coin and invest even more in another thereby losing all.
People needs to learn to be wise and stop these blaming on gambling when they fail to keep themselves in check.

I know where that warning is coming from, but truth is, if you handle gambling as a legit business for making money, you will end up sinking in addiction. When you discover that you are developing some symptoms of gambling addiction, best thing to do is take a brake and reflect on your gambling dicision. A lot of people are gambling and they are responsible gamblers. If you can not control your gambling habits, that's when you should think of quitting.

This is the mentality we keep having as Nigerians. You mentioned that at first you will be winning the game frequently, but it will not be for every day. So if I may ask, is there any form of gambling that has a full assurance that you will be winning frequently? The answer is no. Because in any fit of gambling the first priority is losing game, that is, whether you stop sport betting or not, in as far as you are betting of gambling you most have to lose. That is just the fact, so in some cases I will say that you created this thread as a result of losing gambling. That is why you are just wise not to see anyone as a victim of the loss you made.


Did you know that adrenaline is a hormone that is responsible for immune balance, regulating blood pressure, response to stress, and other functions? If you are talking of boosting your happiness or having fun, then you are talking of dopamine, not adrenaline, so the hormone that is released to feel good and reduce stress is known as dopamine, which can trigger peace of mind, sleep,and a sense of pleasure.

Em d amazing to see people advising their fellow beings on the dangers on gambling wey be say dem themselves have initially found guilty of neglecting the warning of things they are not to do with gambling. Nevertheless, some of us choose to learn our lessons in a hard way before we stop engaging in a particular habit. Em d good sae you don learn your own big lesson from gambling betting, and you feel like advising other gamblers wey you know, not to make the same ugly mistake of yours about gambling. That's nice but remember if you still have friends wey d visit you and they are into gambling, there may be the possibility of you joining them later to gamble because the urge of gambling is really hard to break. So what you will do is to limit the time you d spend with those of your friends and no try to d visit any gambling house around you. Stay faraway from them, if you can't, learn how to map out 3% from your weekly earnings to gamble. That way you go begin to learn how to gamble for fun

You are right. I forgot to mention dopamine as I was using 'adrenaline rush' casually. Both adrenaline and dopamine are involved in the gambling experience, but each functions differently. However, adrenaline also functions in stress and can be linked with gambling in terms of emotional aspects, specifically excitation. Like every activity, gambling also has its high called the 'thrill'. This means both hormones 'work' during gambling practice. Adrenaline allows the body to have the physical aspect (excitement), and dopamine provides the mental aspect of looking forward to betting (and feeling pleasure).

I no sure say I fit tell my neighbor to stop betting oh, if you know how many lives betting don change for this country you no go reason this things, some people no get the luck and style of following all these things but as I talk am some people go still disagree. For me if you try and you no fit meet up and you feel like to stop abeg just match brake if not na depression you go win no be money.
OP e be like when you go bet the only thing your mind dey tell you nah say you go always win and again is like you don lose control of yourself that's why you go bankrupt, this betting of a thing nah sense and if your mind no reach nah to cool down comot body if not e go burn your bank account down, na the only advise I get for anybody wey dey into sport betting, as for me e dey pay I no go lie and why person go stop for wetin him dey benefit from?

I know say before this OP go bring up topics like this,him don sit down analyse how much sport betting don take from him hand.It is no doubt say sport betting is so consuming, especially when you no really sit down analyse the games before betting,you will end up losing money almost every week.
I am a gambler,and I know how much gambling don take for my hand,the worst comes when you are addicted to it,you will end up losing your savings and your properties which will make you remain sad for most days of your life.

Na d mindset wey you carry go gambling, na Wetin go determine if you go regret later if you keep on gambling or not. If you put am for mind say you wan Dey make money from betting, or you carry am like your source of income, dem you no fit avoid am, last last na regret go end am, because even when you suppose to stop betting, you no go stop just because of the money wey you Dey pursue, nothing wey anybody go tell you that time wey you go listen, till you don lose everything before eye go clear, and some go don Dey sell their properties self just to bet.

If you Dey bet just for fun, me I no see anything wey bad for that one ooo, because anybody wey Dey bet for fun, na just small money wey him know say even if him lose, e no go too affect am na him d person go put, but if you don go put big money, na where problem Dey start be that.

Just because you had a bad experience in sport betting no mean say e de bad for everybody or e no mean say e no de work out for some people, I Sabi plenty people wey they use sport betting as their way of income and they are really doing well. First before you go start betting you need funds and alot of it and if you no get enough funds then you need get patient the reason be say e go reduce you Greed like imagine say you de gather like 20odd you come state am 5k to win 100k that 95k profit wey you wan make with plenty games for your ticket but if you hold funds you go stake 100k for 2odd and you go still make over 95k profit with lesser game in your tickets. No be say  even 2odd no de cut oo but the risk go de very minimal.

And where I talk say if u no get money make you get patience be say you fit choose to start your gambling with 2k and you can start with 2odd or 3odd rollover and maybe after 5 or 6 days you fit make tangible profit from am. And above all you need get your personal rules and regulations like the options wey you de pick for game, if you go de cashout or not, if na soccer you go de play or other sport and teams wey you go de bet on and so many more, with all these your gambling go de more easier and safer but still like I talk am before, gambling no fit work for everybody just like every other work.

Is very wrong for you to advise people to stop gambling because it doesn't make any sense, though I no that your motive are good but one thing way you supposed no for gambling be say even if others no they gain anything from it but e get people way done build mansion for the ordinary gambling way them they do, so nothing they wrong for gambling at all but the only thing is that people should be very careful with how they go about it because we no the nature of human, whenever they see something that has the ability to give them amount of money they are ready to use everything they have including selling things just to make sure they make a lot of money from it, which is why I don't blame gambling for anything but instead I blame most of the people way no they use there head well if them they gamble.

Okay, thanks for that advise it's actually coming at a time we we really needed it. Sorry to know about your ugly experiences with gambling. Do you mind sharing here with us how you managed to quit gambling after your felt victim to it, cause a lot of people could make good useful help with your story.

Hope you wouldn't apply to participate in advertising gambling signature campaigns peradventure you grow in ranks in the forum in the nearer future?

Gambling isn’t the problem, and your problem didn’t begin when you started losing, this here is where your problem started. Thinking there’s even a possibility for you to win everyday, sorry but is it your personal business or did you inherit it from you father that you’ll make money from it everyday?
The moment you start seeing gambling as something that’s capable of changing your financial status simply because you’ve heard or seen that someone won big or is constantly winning huge in gambling, you also start putting much effort with the same mentality and putting in more than you can afford to lose simply because you also wanna win huge, you’ve set yourself on the path of addiction and destruction my friend.

So the problem isn’t gambling, the problem is you and your approach towards gambling. I’ve been gambling for years now, sometimes I take a quick break while focusing on other things and when I see I’m free, I can start gambling again. That’s how to play safe, and never be too expectant, no be your papa get gambling so no expect say e go pay you every time before you go wound yourself.

The rate of unemployment in the country made people see gambling as a source of income which is not supposed to be so, gambling is meant to be played for fun but people abuse it and go on to gamble with money they can’t afford to lose leading to become an addicted gambler.

If you want to benefit from gambling you need to bet in such a way that you are balancing a lot of things like controlling your greed, not being emotionally attached and always controlling the amount you put into gambling because it is a risky thing and that is why we are advised to only gamble an amount we can afford to lose.

I believe 98% of gamblers don’t read the gambling site ToS, i even have a friend that mocked me for trying to read a ToS for one platform like that claiming i de do over sabi. People should learn to gamble responsibly and gamble for fun and not so fixed on making money from it

Anyone doing sport betting should be ready to loose his/her money at anytime because that thing is gambling. The main people that should even stay away from it are students because you can just use your school fees your parents gave you to bet and boom you've lost all the money. The anxiousness that even come with betting is something else entirely. Your heart will be beating as that particular match is going on and you'll be praying you don't loose😂😂😂
