I believe we can liken this our situation to the opioid crisis of the Americans, vunerable people get hooked to something that seems sweet and won't be able to stop.


How can we at least save the ones who wants to stop but finds it very difficult?

U will be back to the trenches when a team like Sherrif Tarispol beat Real Madrid or when a team like Bayern cant even score a goal against Moncenglabach and lost 5-0.

One of the ills of the technological advancements of africa is sport betting.
In recent times, the sector has grown and as contributed to Africans GDP but at what cost.

Nigeria like Uganda and all other countries with large youth unemployment has seen her youth rot away and suffer greatly in the hands of sport betting.

Meanwhile, sport betting companies continues to innovate and finds ways to gain more captives by leveraging social media influencer to market the 'Product'.

Influencer like Mr Macaroni, Kiekie, Mark Angel and other key YouTubers have dedicated several videos just to promote this act.

200% bonus they call it, Cash out before the games ends, this are some of the gimmicks used by this companies.

My Friends and acquaintances have lots their allowances to this acts, they spend the lion share of their allowances on betting and beg for garri before the month ends.

Wives are losing their husbands
Children are losing their fathers
Husbands are also losing their wives
More importantly, the Nation is losing its citizens

NIGERIA, who shall save your youths from this mess?



I thank God for my life.hard work pays off.work hard and enjoyself.

Nwoke m, mechie gi onu osiso.

If I tell you how much I win yesterday as Senegal beat Burkina Faso, you no go fit open mouth again.

Just because sports betting no work for you no mean say e no go equally work for your neighbor too.

For your information, sports betting is the reason why the crime rate among the youth is still manageable even in the rising face of unemployment.

The problem I will always have with bitter souls like you is that you will advise people to quit sports betting you will not give them a better solution as a replacement.

Nonsense. angry
nobody becomes useful with betting


You win money, it goes away you start again...

Guy, rest. In gambling, there's always a time for winning and losses. If you know your onions, you can always win more than you lose, don't just be greedy and be disciplined. So, don't make it seem like losses are abnormal. Even in your normal day to day business, losses are inevitable.

I was only replying to his permutation of 500k on 1.10 odds. Na heart attack go kill the person lass lass.
Addiction to sport betting is what i dont support. I stake atimes but not an everyday or every week thing and i have a limit for anyday i choose to bet. The last time i stake on any team was December. I bet when i know i am loaded and my highest stake on an accumulated ticket cant be more than 5h.
Singles like UCLs and World cup finals have also helped me.
I have won money ranging from 20k to 150k with stakes of 5h. I have also lost on numerous occassions but allowing it affect my savings or responsibilities as a man is what i wont accept.
ADDICTION to sport betting is harmful and can cause SUICIDE

There is nothing wrong with betting,sport betting is the same as forex trading and crypto,life na chance o,you must take risks. The same way people think of sport betting as a get rich quick scheme is how people still view forex trading and crypto,So why are u not telling people to stop crypto and forex? When u place a bet,you speculate that the outcome will be to your favor isn’t it,that is also what happens when you are trading forex,you are speculating,same thing with crypto,you are speculating that the coin or whatever will have increased value,make una chill una hear.

sports betting is just like any other business. If you go into any business without first learning the secrets you will get your fingers burnt. The psychology behind betting is human greed. people want to make millions overnight with 100 naira, forgetting that no business in the world works that way. If you aim at just 10-15 percent profit with good money management you will make money. The tragedy in sports betting is that most people involved do not understand probability theory and are not ready for small gains. They don't see betting as business but rather a scheme to get rich overnight.

Very easy to ease your addiction to bet9ja, betking and the rest, you just have to book the game but stake your money yet, just wait untill the game you eventually cut and you will thank your God for saving you not to play.

What do think about us all calling out celebrities painting betting as a quick rich scheme?

I think betting should be part of the "No Add" business, they should rely on organic leads.

A lot of innocent people have been led astray by this people

Just like smoking cigarettes, let our law makers look into these menace. We need to reorient our youths to understand that you can truly be wealthy but not through chance or hope.

Betting is a sure way to poverty bt a rare way to riches.

U are playing not only against the odds bt against the system also while dancing tango with chance/luck.

The only way to be safe is to keep to the rules and discipline anything else is like walking on thin ice.
