It's a spiritual problem. Once you are in, you'll need the grace of God to get out

The more hooked you are, the more difficult it is to get out cry

Even Nairaland can be a spiritual problem

Leave that story

I don't know why we tend to be mentally lazy and superstitious

Instead of using our brains for its intended purpose which is to solve problems we resort to this lazy mentality

Sport betting is a very profitable business depending on how you see it, ( talking from experience )

It all balls down to mentality, getting the right tipster source and using the right capital/ stake percentage!

Sport betting is more profitable and reliable than forex...

I could explain more or see my sig!

This post is absolute trash

A foolish gambler who allowed greed to ruin him will come here and start spilling nonsense from his anus.

Sporting betting is the easiest, the most guaranteed and the quickest way to earn money online.

All you need is to have your target goals as well as your betting strategies.

It will also pay you if you have a good knowledge of the teams you are betting on.

Teams like Manchester City and inter Milan always deliver in their respective leagues in this current season.

If you stick to such teams alone, you will always be winning Nine out of Ten times.

But greed will not allow some idiots to see how easy and rewarding this business can be.

Even Mr. Racksterli will be using his investors money to be playing bets but people will not even know. They will rather be praising the Ponzi man for being a smart investor not knowing that they can easily be doing for themselves what these Ponzi guys are doing for them.

need a cardiologist that can treat me for free in Ibadan or Lagos please
if u have a real need for this. i think there are better ways to get ur message across that people will take u seriously...If its a joke stop it, it might block opportunity for people with genuine needs.
If your need is real, i will suggest that instead of looking for a cardiologist that will treat you for free, write ur story in full and reach out to one of those twitter influencers, they will verify that your need is genuine and help you raise funds that you need...at least to start ur treatment

Bet9ja.com currently have alexa rank of 173. That means out of about 200million websites that exist globally, only 172 sites attract more daily visitors and pageview more than Bet9ja.

It is currently the 2nd most visited website by Nigerians, ahead of sites like youtube, yahoo, facebook, and only behind Google.com (current top 5).
That is rather a scary statistics, because I didn't mention the alexa rank of their closest competitors

You can not wreck the bookies (betting companies) no matter how much you win. They have a super algorithm behind the way the odds are set/changed. I won't be able to go into full details so as not to lengthen this post more than it should be

I saw someone online blaming his perpetual losses on betting on bad luck. There is no such thing as ill luck, everything is all statistics and probability

Let's take a look at this illustration. If a hired killer decides to give his target a lifeline, explaining to him there are 3 small balls in a bag, 2 are black ⚫⚫and 1 is white ⚪. If he then blindfoldedly pick a white ball, he is saved else he gets shot immediately. Do you think the target will be happy with his chances of staying alive? Definitely NO.


A soccer match has 3 outcomes: Win, draw or lose.(For 1X2 market) The chances of correctly predicting an outcome is 1 in 3 or 33%. Most times the odds will be too low to even make a significant money on that so many punters (bettors) will prefer to accumulate matches to increase the odds. This may drastically increase the amount to be won But at the same time will substantially reduces the chances of winning because all the teams selected must win In order to cash out.

E.g If you accumulate just 2 matches, the chances of you winning is now 1 in 9(or 11.1%) because both selections must Win their respective games In order to Earn. (Since there are 9 different combinations of wins, draws & losses among 2 accumulated events) i.e
W W✔️
W L❌
W D❌
L W❌
L L❌
L D❌
D W❌
D L❌
D D❌

Greediness often make Ppl accumulate 10 matches, not knowing their chances of winning is now 0.0017%. Let me put it in perspective. If you stake on 10 different matches, there are about 59049 different possibilities of wins, drawa & losses among the events and only 1 of those will guarantee you smiling to the bank.

You can now see how extremely difficult it is to win. Of course practically, the chances are much higher since you are not just randomly picking the teams to win. You must have done your research based on some factors such as current form, injury to a key player, e.t.c But here is the problem, this life is an uncertain one and that affect sport events too. There is nothing like sure banker. The reason we all love football in the first place are those moments of adrenaline rush we experience when something unexpected happens in a match

That is why in a week, there is at least one upset in the world of football(and sports in general).

LISTEN TO ME, nobody loses a bet because of bad luck. Either you haven't done enough homework or mostly is due to the cruel reality of the mathematics behind gambling.

I do not endorse Gambling as a form of making money. Those who do it must treat it as hobby and therefore know when to run. You could win a 10-game accumulator today, and then it takes several attempts to win another, losing all the money you had earlier won.

To even think some people accumulate up to 25 game and then laments if only 1 game cut it.

Crypto is s much more lucrative. It’s also a volatile investment. If it crashes today, it’s sure to bounce back in the future. You only need to another nicest what you can afford to overlook and wait for maturity on investment

Merrybet, betpawa, betway, bet9ja, betking etc are some of the multifarious betting platforms that have proliferated Nigeria. It seems luring to youths as a quick way to wealth. Don't be deceived.

I have been into sports betting since 2015. I can boldly state that the negative effects of the act supersedes it's gain. do not let you love for sports (football in particular) lead you to engage in Betting, or continue the act

below are some reasons why you need to avoid betting with your scarce resources....

I remembered few Sundays ago in Sunday School and we were talking about Investments and someone mentioned betting shops. I said you are only making others cry as they stake and if you are staking, most times you loose. Someone said, I should show them in the Bible where they must not play pool.

Betting and gambling is a very bad thing, it took spiritual and Family intervention for me to get out of it, thank God I'm totally out of it now. For those that have listening ears should not only listen but heed to this word of advice, there is no responsible gambler anywhere because greed will make one venture into gambling in the first place.
