Cry This is my personal experience: I am a gambler who loves gambling mostly on sports betting and have had series of experiences which some a positive and others negative but for the purpose of this thread; I am going to talk about my negative experience.

Just a few days ago, the government of my country made an announcement about stay at a home policy which made me get boredom. During these few days, I have been involved actively in gambling mainly on virtual sports betting which I have lost beyond my imagination.

At first, I lost a whopping sum of #30,000 (NGN) in a local currency, I played some games and won with some good profits which I used to Carter for the family but went the next day to meet my Waterloo during which I lost the said amount. This has affected me and caused me a sleepless night because the said money wasn't for me but the entire family for upkeep during this trial moment. I am regretting my loss because the remaining members of the family aren't aware of this loss. This has not happened to me before now until this compulsory self quarantine from the government.

To my co-gamblers: these days are tempting, ensure to be more careful with your savings and "never gamble what you can't afford to lose"
Sorry to hear that you had lost all the money you placed for betting. But, listen, you made a mistake. You should have never played with those money. Was gambling your only option to earn? If yes, then you are wrong. You probably might be using thinking that this is the only option because you might be addicted to gambling. You are using this as an excuse to gamble.
What has happened has happened, try to not repeat the mistakes. You can't do anything about the past, but you can make your present and the future better. If needed, consult someone who can help you with your addiction.
