There's a guy who was deep into sports betting. Let's call him Kevin
At first, it was “small wins” and excitement. Just ₦500 today, ₦1,000 tomorrow. But it quickly became an obsession. Always chasing the next slip. Betting during lectures. During tests. During life.
Then Kevin staked his school fees.
Lost.
No one knew. He kept up the act. But the spiral was real—missed assignments, low energy, late nights trying to win it back. By exam time, he wasn’t just broke. He was empty.
He failed two major courses that semester.
Lesson to learn.
Discipline > dopamine. Not every risk is worth it. And sometimes the biggest losses aren’t money—they’re momentum. @shikumi5
