I have been into sports betting for a while now and i am not really proud of my earliest experience in gambling, i feel like i am the most unlucky person in the world i lost a lot of games and also i lost a lot of money. I had knowledge about football and basketball games and they were my most picked games and even so I kept losing all my bets and even when i try to play safe i still end up losing and whenever i ask my friends for games we still end up losing the bet then i got tired and in the end i gave up and tried to quit gambling and I left it for some months. During this period my friends made a lot of money gambling and i was envious of them but it didn’t made me change my mind to start gambling over again.
Some months later i came across a telegram channel and i joined, it was a gambling channel that posted free sports bets for its users and there is also a VIP section where users subscribe for some sure games. I am well aware of all these techniques used by scammers so I decided to observe the channel and follow up games posted and I discovered he won most of the games and had about 80% victory rate. Then after some time I decided to try my luck again so I played one of his games and i won i was so happy and it was as though the curse placed on me has been lifted and I tried some more games and i won again and again and since the beginning of the new season i only lost twice and i am now proud of my gambling achievements.
According to the channel free games are limited and we can only enjoy for a month and now the month is almost over and only VIPs will be entitled to games when the month elapses. I have been having doubts whether to join the VIP zone because I don’t want to be scammed that’s why i want to know your opinions.
What do you all think i should do?
Everyone is unlucky from time to time, you just don't see it as people aren't shouting how they lost everything, and even if they are, stories of insane winnings travel faster and further because those are the stories people want to hear. There's no curse, just the reality and probability. There are also no such thing as sure games or safe bets. If there would be, people wouldn't be losing money.
I am not saying you shouldn't use every advantage you have, but some telegram channel doesn't sound like an advantage. Every time they make bad calls i am guessing they will delete those and leave wins that they can market that channel with.
But also at the same time, maybe check some online question sheet if you have a gambling addiiction or not, because it sounds like you are not in this for fun.
If you have a gambling addiction, don't feel ashamed of it. Gambling is not for everyone and there's no shame of admitting it, quite opposite, it takes a strong person to admit they have a problem.
But good luck with your gambling if you decide to continue. Just don't count on safe bets.
