A second-year college student has died after
jumping from the 7th story of high rise building in
his school following heavy losses in World Cup
gambling.
The student who, simply identified his surname Lin
in news reports, committed suicide after losing a
big bet, reportedly over $3000 USD.
A Debt And A Death
A witness who spoke with Information Times said
the student might have committed suicide after
pressure from loan sharks.
"I heard him say 'do not force me' and 'give me two
more days and I'll return you the money'
"He talked on the phone for more than 10 minutes.
I saw him hang up and stand up and then all in a
sudden he just disappeared," Information Times
reported the witness as saying.
An online media quoting a classmate and
friend of the deceased student » reports
that Lin had gambled nearly $7,000 US dollars on
several students.
“We heard that he borrowed quite a lot of money
and the interest rate was rather high,” another
student quoted in the report said.
Deadly China Betting
Lin is now the second Chinese to die in World Cup
related circumstances after a 51-year-old former
footballer, Li Mingqiang, died of 'over-excitement'
while watching the Spain-Netherlands match which
ended 5-1 in favor of the Orange boys.
China has become the World's gambling capital
and just last week, police in Hong busted an illegal
World Cup betting ring which raked in an
astonishing $600 million USD in one week - an all-
time record.

That was exactly how I lost 100k that I staked on Germany vs Gh. and Argentina vs Iran matches to earn 210k. Gambling is really a bad stuff and there's nothing like sure game in it. Smh
