Nairobi - A man who was addicted to betting has opened up about how it affected him on a personal level.

He said he would panic and have anxiety when he lost bets and would feel a sharp pain in his stomach, almost like being cut by a knife.

Does betting give you more money?

Speaking to TUKO.co.ke, Lamech said the condition developed when he started losing money constantly.

"I was putting more money in the game of chance, hoping to get more money in return, but all was work in futility. I was accustomed to winning, and so when I was losing more often, it was a painful experience.

I was losing lots of money when the game became popular, as many people were aware of it and were playing. I think the company was now taking advantage since they had many clients. Whenever I saw my money disappear on the website, there was a poignant feeling that flashed across my stomach," he said.

The Nairobi man said the feeling led to ulcers over time, and he regretted why he never stopped the habit while he was making losses.
