Arbitrage games trading no longer profitable for close to 2 months now, you can hardly see errors from them as arbitrage gaming means feeding on bookmakers errors , i have stopped trading it, but it may swing back to full business as soon as as new football season resumes.
So if still interested, i can put you through during my free periods, please i don't mean to advertise arbitrage game trading here and i don't expect people to request for more info. Despite the fact that you are not placing bet but trading games for little profit, arbitrage still has low risk if any game is spotted and voided, nothing in life is without risk sha.
As i have said, it's no longer profitable as most bookmakers have upgraded their system to have fewer odd errors, but not zero error.
i have pm'ed you.. i dont mind.. if you can reply my email. When ever you re free... I will be hanging around for you to kindly teach me pls

They are so numerous to mention. is it the 70k i invested in MMM or my 55k I lost trying to play one sure 3 odds, abi the money I take buy some gadgets when I no Dy even too use like smart watch and headpiece. Las Las nobody is perfect. you must at one time in your life spend or loose money on frivolities. but the one I'm always careful is spending money on a gal not related to me. my conscience Dy beat me for that one, because anytime I wan mumu, my mind will call me to order. I remembered when I wanted to give a gal 5k for hair after winning 24k for bet, my mind now told me to call my mom and I did and I asked if she needed anything and she said no and I just asked her to send her account number for me to check something and I transferred 7k to her. I'm not wicked or stingy, just that some heartbreaking stories I read everyday online Dy vex me.
I envy you...my mum is late..and everyday I regret not doing more.

my own was on the streets of manchester. this street called cheetham hill road. so i was jejely strolling ooo minding my own business na hin this rover car pull up beside me. inside was 4 white guys. they looked dodgy but i was on the streets so no fear. they whistled at me and told me to come over, so i stupidly did, then the guy pulled out a bag and opened it and showed me this high powered laptop that was looking really nice. like i can get some work done with that Kinda laptop. my spec. just looking real nice and powerful. The guys said they just got it from one shop and it cost like 1500 pounds but they will give it to me for 150 pounds because they are desperate and need the money. i priced it down to 120 pounds and they finally agreed. so i went to the cash machine and gave them the 120 pounds and they gave me the bag. i was excited thinking of all the things i was going to do on that laptop when i get home. so i even bought snacks on the way to eat while i am enjoying the laptop. when i got home and opened the bag what was inside was 2 large bottles of coke. the thing weak me. my spirit sank just a little bit. i think i went to bed just to forget the whole incident. lesson learnt is FORK ALL HUMANS. ITS ME AGAINST THE WORLD. I VIEW EVERYONE WITH A HAWKS EYE.

You bought snacks and they gave you coke. 2 big bottles self to wash it down.

I lost over 450k within a month to bet9ja in 2019, I tried recouping my lost fund of initial 260k only to see it increase to 450k in space of 2 months, Liverpool vs Barcelona semi final champions league was the last straw that broke my camel back as i layed 260k for Barcelona to qualify for final, i think the odd was around 1.12 as Barca has already thrashed Liverpool 3 to 0 at Camp Nou only for Barcelona to receive 4 to 0 at Anfield, what a game!
I couldn't sleep and felt so depressed.
February 2020, a miracle happened, i saw a link for arbitrage betting training, d guy requested 1k to join the watsapp group for training and i decided to try it out, i was like 1k is too small, i won't mind getting scammed, only for it to be real.
Between Febuary to June dis year, i recovered all lost to betting from many bookmakers sites and made more than what i lost, it only pained me that bet9ja was not the bookmaker that paid most of the funds recovered. There was no lockdown for me as the period was when i recovered all my lost fund from conglomerates of betting sites through arbitrage makers.

What a coincidence. Though, it's not a huge amount but as per say money no dey, the thing enter my body. I'll be tying the knot with my heartthrob come August 30. A relative of mine and I went to kraal(a place where cows are being sold) today to buy a cow for my impending nikkai(wedding). We got there and saw a cow of our choice. We started negotiation and unanimously agreed to pay #110,000 for the cow. I brought out the sum of #120,000, removed #10,000 and gave him #110,000. I kept the #10,000 in my track suit pocket and forgot to zip up. A mentally deranged cow was causing a brouhaha and I got distracted. That was how the sum of #10,000 was stolen from me today. Upon realising my money is gone, my entire system went numb. I swear I no fit cry but the thing pain me. Nonetheless glory be to Almighty Allah. I already learnt my lesson.

Getting money is hard and maintaining it is even harder, as such we must be very careful as to how we spend it.

So I was discussing with a friend and he told me the biggest amount of money he has ever lost in his life was when he bought a car of 3million Naira after saving for like 3 years, and he didn't use the car for up-to 3 months before he got involved in an accident that almost claimed his life with the car.

I laughed and told him mine was when I used 100,000 to play betting and lost the money while in my university days. Lessons learnt from him was that car is never an investment instead he should have invested the money, mine was that gambling never pays at all...

Guys please share yours lets all learn and be enlightened

I never wanted go down the memory lane towards this, but for life lessons, I will share this. I think mine is the most recent.
Friday, 10th January 2020 will be a date I'll never let go. While working with bet9ja in Plateau, Mangu to be precise, as a means of additional income since we corpers didn't get a dime from the state government, let alone our respective LG of primary assignment.
This was unarguably the best work I could find then, thoughts of the daily take homes, salary (8k), where I won't need to touch my FG allawee and a long list of personal reasons. As u may know, as a staff in bet9ja, u try to satisfy which ever customer comes ur way, so as to get their attention, preference,favour etc. especially when it has to do with virtual game, so you can be assured of ur daily take home(overs they call it).
There's a man who reportedly used to come from a nearby village(Kerang village) to play virtual. B4 I met this man, I've never seen or heard a gambler to the core. Someone who can throw 100-200k for virtual games. As time went on, we built an understanding,all thanks to the fact that, he always pays his cash/transfers in full no matter the amount he lost and the joy(money) he gives to me even when loosing. We understood our self to a point that, I can stake game of 150k for him b4 he transfers, which was very much against the rules of the company, while him on the other side will never play game on any other system when corper(me) is not around, not knowing a tornadoe was gonna blow someday. On this particular but unforgettable day,this man played virtual with a sum of 132k after which he showed me what I can't decipher till date from fake alert, bounced transfer or no transfer. After about 10-15mins of waiting for alert, with no show, I dismissed the man and permitted him to go, thinking twas just ordinary delay, being that he has been doing successful transfers b4, and has never owed me a dime, so I didn't want to keep a big and nice customer on grounds of delayed alert. I waited till 9pm where we do check and balance, still no show, that was when it occurred to me that "I don buy big market". Shocked i never saw this man till d day I left Plateau. Guess what happened next ? I may share how this act would av hampered my certificate subsequently in this forum. A lot transpired from this temptation of which if not for God, and my innocence, I would av been deemed "absconded NYSC". This is why at the mention of BET9JA by any soul, I can fight till daybreak. This is my biggest lost, and I swear will be the last, because I'll be as wise as Lucifer. Because I've not achieved my dreams, plans and goals, capped with the trauma I was and still in, with thoughts of throwing away 142k (plus police case file 10k) for nothing but just to redeem myself. I wished I never served.
