"Gambling it all away," I said to myself. Most of the reason we go into gambling is that we youth take it as a source of making money we never worked for. Gambling has a positive part and also a negative part, but the negative part has a higher percentage than the positive part. Most people can spend their last money on gambling without thinking twice about it because they believe in the possibility of winning extra of what they are gambling away. People no longer call it gambling again, they now call it investment.

I'm a girl in my late 20s, I love games so much, and I spend a lot of time playing them, now imagine investing a little amount of money to play a game you love just to win extra, it was a catchy one for me. There is no game I will not gamble on, I have gambled on—games like football, basketball, and Ludo.
One of my favorites is Ludo, I play Ludo with ease and make sure I win but not all the time, sometimes I lose, sporty bet is another platform I gamble so much on. The maximum amount I put in my game is five hundred naira daily. Sitting down for hours to pick games is quite exhausting especially when it comes to football or basketball, most time, after picking and picking, I will not win anything game.
Some people gamble responsibly making sure they never get addicted to it while some people are addicted without even having a change of mindset. Gambling has turned a lot of wealthy people into something they are not because they never gamble wisely, most people think about the money they want to win but never think of the opposite side which is losing.
Most people put huge amounts of money into a game and later lose it at the end of everything. Gambling is not every day winning, it is addictive so if you are good at it continue but always learn to take a break, because I am also taking a break for the rest of my life.
Thanks for reading.
This is a true life story, after seeing the prompt topic on the inleo #octoberinleo daily prompt, day 10 that talks about gambling. I went to my friend who was a gambler before and asked her to tell her story so the world could learn from her, which she did.

Lol, it is the break of the rest of her life for me. That means she is done 😅
Gambling is addictive, I used to be a gambler too but at a point in life, I just stop it because there was no more time for it, I was more involved in online activities so no time at all to go and gamble and that was how I got rid of it and now it no longer freaks me
Yeah
I believe when one find something meaningful to do with their time, they wouldn’t have the thought of gambling every time
