You can detest betting companies however you want, and you can as well take a swipe at them because you feel people go there to waste their cash.

However, you have to come to the realization that these companies are employers of labour that help to contribute positively to the growth of the economy.

For instance, in each betting shop, you will find young boys and girls, sometimes, graduates who are employed to run the day-to-day businesses of the shops.

Yes, the pay is meager, but, at least, some certain basic needs like feeding can be met, and you won't have to beg to survive or indulge in criminal acts while working and waiting for your dream job..

Since the hacking issues surrounding bet9ja came up and the site stoped functioning, thousands of shops have been closed, which means a lot of people who work in those shops are now jobless.

It might not mean anything to you, but people were able to sustain themselves and eat by just working there.

You can say that betting companies are destroying people financially, but I want you to understand that there are also winners and it's one's choice to bet or not. They don't coerce anyone to bet.
