If you want to really stop an addicttion then you have to take a very stringent step to do that otherwise you will see yourself going back to it from time to time. So if this person has gone to gambling commission of his country to ban himself from gambling it means he is serious about what he wants and that is good.

He is not a fool but would have been a fool if he has kept pretending to himself that he would stop gambling whilst he kept losing on it. Someone who wants to stop an addicttion need to go the mile to achieve it like he has done for himself which is really a step in the appropriate direction and from the information, he has not gambled for the past 10 years and perhaps would have saved more money more than if he was still gambling.

When a particular sector looks lucrative, you see more people going into it and that means you have much of bad intention all for the money, low creativity, replication of existing ideas, ingenuity and exit scam will become the order of the day.

Bonuses and other promises are what some new players get attracted to but I would rather stay with the existing and reputable casinos.

Agreed with some of your views though but somehow it is looking as if you are setting the family against themselves when all the points are hinged on not showing up what you have or what to help with.

I was expecting to see that you would suggest that the bread winner should endeavour to raise another person in the family that will also be helping and raise another person and the family grows that way.

The right way to help someone is not to give them fish but to teach them how to fish so that they can choose to go to the river by themselves and make a choice on where and how to throw in their net. To build human capital and capacity is surely the best support to give the family.

Probably he has been contemplating suicide for other reasons beyond him losing his bet. A triggering factor could be responsible for that and not just gambling losses, maybe he has been frustrated with life along time ago and now wants to try hitting a jackpot with this particular bet by having a one time try. I believe as someone who gamble such amount, he would have been having win and losses before this time so he should understand the loss and win that is involved in gambling so taking his life might not only be because he lost but no matter what was his challenge, he doesn't need to take his life as a young man who still have time to make things right in his future.

I do not agree that teams performance is hereditary. I thought you were trying to talk about family connection to football or hereditary. Like some families have older ones who have liked and played football in their youth age whether international or local even to the parents and grand parents.

So I accept it is hereditary for families and their siblings but for clubs or teams, I doubt that. If a team is not performing and they desire to perform, what they need to do is to wait for transfer season and do their buy of choicest players plus coach. Some years back Manchester city wasn't in the top team list but they have been able to do that in recent years.

The most important thing for team is to have the finance to be able to overhaul their team but if a team lack the finance then it could support your assertion that the team performance is hereditary but with finance, they can change their fortune.

I think something like that does exist, if you check on the link I dropped above.

You can actually stake like 10 games and you have an option to predict how many out of your stake will cut and if that happens accurately or below then you will win the bet base on that option but if your option in the prediction didn't occur then you have lost out. It is a new betting option that sportsbookies have added to their betting strategy. However, that is not to say that it is very easy to win with such option too. One thing about betting options that we need to know is that they are not like bread and tea, they are not easy to go pass.

Just to add to the advise wey dem don already give you, you don't just quote someone here and move away, nope. You need to provide where you see the quote even as you make the quotation marks. This dey important at least so dat others fit go visit the source and gather more knowledge on the information wey you dey pass across.

Although, I for say if to say government dey provide job and business environment say somethings on crime for dey reduce but e get people wey be say na through crime dem dey survive, job or business no concern dem.

The body of your post didn't really touch or dwell on your topic but however, I understand what you are trying to say.

For me the fun of watching a football match for example is when you don't bet on it because at that time you are free of emotional attachment and you will watch the game without sentiment or attachment and you are able to be free from empathy because of your money on the bet. So I enjoy the game more when I don't stake on it.

I think if I can understand what op is saying is just that in the bet options you have the opportunity to bet like 10 games in the slip like he said and the you can actually have an option to win 5 out of the whole games selected.

Well it is a new option for sports bookies and it has allowed some gamblers some win just like cashout also.

So in local parlance it is called cutting or something like that depending on the sports but generally it means out of the whole bet you can have an option to choose how many games are allowed fail and if the fail exceed the number that you have selected then you have lost the bet entirely but if it is within the range then you have won your bet.

The idea is in one of this sportsbookie, you can read to understand better.

These are the point. To there are people who to take their life never by themselves never seem anything to them. They are psychos. They don't place value on the air they breath and that is also can easily they can kill another person. But if you value life, the thought of killing or shielding of blood irritates.

It is an immoral act. No matter how much was involved, a lifeless body has no hope but a man that is alive has hope to even repay all his debt despite challenges of life because he can meet a destiny helper that will be interested in his story but now that he is gone, nobody will hear his story and help him, what will be in the public as it is now is that he took his life.

I read his letter on Facebook and comments from the Facebook group, many have felt he only cut his life short by himself and not fulfilling what he was suppose to. That is the fact, he killed himself for less than $4,000. I don't even think there is any amount of money worthy for someone to take their life. So it is appalling to hear such bizarre action from a young man.

Therefore, it is always a lesson for other gamblers that if you want to take huge risk then you have to understand the risk involve in it, so that you don't end up like the dead young man that has caused his family more sorrow. Play as you can bear the loss, don't over bet, be reasonable with your bankroll.

Well I think to commit suicide is a very strong decision that only few people can do. I think it is more of phycological than physical action.

Yes it is always good to give back to the society especially if you have benefited from it. The man is doing exactly that and perhaps he was lifted by the community to be working in an oil company for 12 years.

I think there is another think that looks significant for me about this on gamblers, I think they seem to have an open hand to give out and also with open heart more like philanthropist. I have noticed this in some of the big winners and "consistent" winners in gambling.

The man is obviously enjoying himself and having to give back to his people is fun to him and to those who are participating and witnessing the event.

I don't really believe in this mathematical connotations to gambling because they don't really work. If we are talking about the reduction of chances of luck to appear  because of frequency of playing time, so what is the proportion of the time to play that it would really reduce the chances of reduced luck. This is just not scientific, and that is the point. Many other people have been successful while staying longer in their gambling tables.

In a sane society, breaks are not negotiable because they understand what it means to rest. Resting releases you of so many things that would have caused health issues and this is the reason that standard companies allows their workers for leave from work, they organise retreat etc. The body needs rest to avoid breakdown especially for people who are of age.

However, some workers don't value to rest as they exchange their rest time for money and they keep labouring their body all because of additional money.

Well this doesn't look like gambling to me. It appears like  a gifting that the organiser wants to do and allow people and the neighborhood catch some fun. They are not staking any of their money yet they would be given prices based on their performance of the games so organized.

Gambling is when you have staked money or something else like material to risk for a higher benefit but in this light it is strictly fun and no stake attachment to it . This is just like people who do annual thanksgiving and they organise different things for the public and one of such ways they have this annual event is hosting of football tournament between villages or local areas or government that winner of a team is gifted more than the second run up, it is for the fun of it.

The simple truth be say that guy wey dey brag of having such profit in his forex business is not saying the fact. Maybe the person still dey learn with all those account wey no be real money and him dey see the kind money wey him no fit withdraw self. I know say people wey get money no dey always brag but if you don dey brag like that, you have to look the person two times. I no suppose say person go dey put him private life outside because dat dey dangerous as people fit plan the person and rub am or harm am.

As always everything about bitcoin dey decentralised and anonymous, na if you want make person sabi about wetin you get the person go sabi but if you no want anybody to know, dem no fit small ground to know about am.

I no sure say I don see crypto give away for this end of the year. The country self kuku dey hard to the extent wey be say people never begin share rice onto say rice dey expensive. Gift no too dey flow for this year because if na past years at least now wey e be like say month don dey enter half, goodies for don dey show. Moreover for the crypto stuff, hmmm every body dey wait for bulloo, no body want miss am so to dey splash coins give people no go really dey developers agenda.

Na all those circles of bribe collection still keep Nigeria for this level wey we dey. If to say the system dey cleansed up all these ones wey we dey talk no go be issue. No society dey perfect actually but a country wey dey corrupt is always found with the commonest kinds of ills. Price control system suppose be something wey go make the common person on the street enjoy live but who go bail the cat...If you rig election enter then you no go expect say things go begin work as expected. We no need to dey fool ourselves.

More like it and that is the first step towards safety. If we no dey careless about the way we handle our phones in public then na we cause am in the first place. Like you talk, na weapon go suppose make someone lose their phone. Just imagine somebody go say phone fall off and dey don't know about it or dat dem get up from motor and forget their phone 

Well for the ATM stuff, omo me I no dey go out with ATM oo. I dey try move during the day and dey careful. Night movement be d time wey all those attack dey happen.

Yeah that is also the point. It is not all gambler that feel unlucky when they stay longer. Some are lucky to recover all that they have lost because they have been patient and given time to it and at the end they begin to get back to winning. While some never get to come back from losing so it all varies. Playing gamble should be something with relaxed mind and you can't have such mind if you are taking high risk that you can't afford to lose.
