Lost 25m to BTC (blockchain wallet I Lost my seed).... Last year Nov..

Izabel:
almost 100k:-! pained me

jaelz:
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 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.
SAY NO TO GAMBLING

I was looking forward to stories in this magnitud.. I am currently in same position BUT I am in control of everything... The deal/market is worth more then 100M and evergreen. I plan to spread across 3 major cities... after doing deals up to that 100M in accumulation within 2-3 years, I am venturing into food/agro-business big time...

Covid19 delayed first take off... but I am patiently waiting for society to normalize soon.

Nigerians get money ooo. Na million million. Any investment that u r not directly involve I mean ur self doing it by ur hand,don't commit a fortune and always shun d quest for short cut or get rich syndrome. Greed is bad

Lost 8.7 million to forex trading in 2015. Lost 540k to Sportybet, lost 300k to bad business. The list is endless. The funny thing is whenever I loss or lost money I laugh, shake it off and move ahead. I cannot come and kill myself

skayT:
Correct! This has always been my motto. Even low yield investment programs can scam you! Although greed still remains a huge factor of one getting scammed. I thank God my depression didn't lead to committing suicide. I have been scammed on several occasions, even with my street wiseness and experience.

But during the course of that journey, I've learned several lessons. Trust nobody! Always do your due diligence to scrutinize a business/investment opportunity. Don't get involved once you start having your doubts about the business! It's better to lose the opportunity than to lose your money.

I lost 900£ to bet365 last Friday on multiple bets and I will gladly play again because my million £ is with them. We go again!

Dpundict:
78k lent to a lady who later accused me of trying to sleep with her as a way of escaping payment. Since then a lady can never borrow money from me again no Matter how close

akejujoe:
my husband lost about 3 million to aims asset management. He has been to their office several times but it seems their is no hope of ever recovering the money. Lesson learnt is to be triple sure about a business before you invest in it.

Hungarriman:
One question,can one lose money on an arbitrage stake?
