If you are concerned that gambling may be having a negative impact on your (or someone else's) life, then the following questions may help you identify an issue :
• Do you stay away from work, college or school to gamble?
• Do you gamble to escape from a boring or unhappy life?
• When gambling and you run out of money, do you feel lost and in despair and need to gamble again as soon as possible?
• Do you gamble until you lose all your money?
• Have you ever lied to cover up the amount of money or time you have spent gambling?
• Have others ever criticised your gambling?
• Have you lied, stolen or borrowed to maintain betting habits?
• Have you lost interest in your family, friends or hobbies?
• After losing, do you feel you must try and win back your losses as soon as possible?
• Do arguments, frustrations or disappointments make you want to gamble?
• Do you feel depressed or even suicidal because of your gambling?
IF you answer 'yes' to one or more question then you have to consider whether you have a serious gambling problem.
I was once a victim of Above Addictions until one day I decide to check the money I have spent on gambling...
I used to play bet9ja online Platform.. i downloaded my account statement and it happened that i have spent almost 90k on gambling without including the offline (shop bet9ja)
To cut the story short....I can't quit gambling because I believe I can win big one day.....but I have reform my attitude toward betting....
I decide not to play every day except on weekends.
I try to play safe by selecting the small odds and analyse before playing.
I maintain to spend N100 to N400....instead of me taking 4bottles of beer I reduce it to 2 bottles......
You know what?
Am happy now because I don't rely on betting, sometimes I forgot that I played bet..
Whilst the majority of people can and do bet within their means, for some people gambling can become a problem.
It may help you to keep control by following these guidelines :
• Gambling should be entertaining and not seen as a way of making money
• You should set limits for deposits, stakes and losses before you start gambling
• Avoid chasing losses
• Only gamble what you can afford to lose
• Keep track of the time and amount you spend gambling You need to be able to control your betting, and spend money that is ONLY set aside for entertainment betting..
Here is my weekend betting coupon.....
Pls, analyse and edit if possible....
