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
bro pls can i Whatsapp you concerning this arbitrage makers

You need to discourage yourself from generalizing. Every tribe is Good and every tribe is bad.
I can give you double of that money #68,100 if you stop the hate in your system because that's a million times worse than what you lost. Ok?
Please give me,so that I can use it to buy the smart TV I wanted to buy before I was scammed

Don't put your money in what you don't understand. That's a fact.

my friend lost 12m and i have lost up to $5k altogether..


How? You guys are trading without basic Knowledge? Now that Forex even has Legit account managers, how do you loose that much?

I've been a trader myself for 7 months now and I never loose like that. Or is it your Lotsize? How exactly are you loosing that much?

I'm also a trader and that's why I'm interested in Knowing how you can loose such amount of money. What was the problem? Lotsize? Wrong signals? Inadequate Experience?

My friend lost much cos he was holding a position for too long and kept on depositing thinking the trade will reverse..His broker made things worst the more..One Nigerian scam broker called hantec global...Those people are scammers
the money lost in stop loss is something...
That was back then tho (2018), i am now a forex principality..

If you do business online you must be scammed in one way or the other.
The biggest money I lost however was to crypto. I invested all the money I made in 2017 in crypto- Almost 3k usd. All the coins I bought were shit coins and lost most of their value. Las las the total money I cashout from the coins was less than $300.
Lesson: Never invest in what you dont understand.

You invested in crypto that does not have the taste of time I guess.

Jez How on Earth did you make 300k during your NYSC abeg
Bro, it wasn't easy o!
My PPA make sense die, at first it looked ugly considering the fact that I had spent all my years in Lagos but when I started eating tuwo masara with okro soup and Põtē, everything made sense to me.
The villagers are poor but are happy.
I mixed up in time then I started farming too.
All the farm input was free eg, Labour, Land, seedlings, etc..

That was where I made some cash, my allawee was always untouched cos there nothing to buy.
No joints, no olosho, no flexing, no forming, nothing..
Instead, I got everything free; Accommodation, homemade gals, foods and foodstuffs, burukutu, palmwine, farm and love.

lost 6.8 million to bet9ja virtual upper friday and $650 last friday. I've been loosing money to bet9ja right from nigeria until now, so i can't really say a specific amount. I'm determined to stop now, in the long run, gambling makes you broke and poor. I can't even take care of myself very well.
Lesson learnt: if you need money or under pressure to recover your losses, DO NOT GAMBLE!!!!!! you'll lose more and secondly, use whatever money you have to pay off debts you owe because YOU CAN'T REALLY PLAN WELL WHILE THINKING OF PAYING DEBTS.
I think we should have a platform on how to stop gambling, IT'S KILLING OUR FUTURE.
So on point my gee! it's so frustrating.

Bought a car, Crisler . Electrical fault was too much that the car just wasted like that.

My story is quite similar .
I bought a Ford Mondeo for 1M from Cotonou last year August and used it on Uber/taxify ride hailing app. When the issues overwhelmed me and plunged me into debt, i resorted to begging before i could sell it off for 40% of the purchase price.
The car is high maintenance and fuel consumption is too high for a 2.0ltr engine despite changing 2 brand new oxygen sensors, brand new 4spark plugs & fuel injectors.

bro pls can i Whatsapp you concerning this arbitrage makers

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.
