Betting is not a scam, but the system is rigged to favour the betting companies.

It's not 100% rigged, so clever bettors who aren't greedy usually make steady income from it (Sports betting).

=====

NOTE: This answer is based on Sports betting and might not be applicable to others forms of betting.

====

Another problem why people lose all the time is because they treat it like lottery or like a roll of a dice. Most people see betting as being dependent on luck. That's just fallacy.

There is a little bit of luck in Sports betting but majority of time, it is purely mathematical.

Team A vs Team B

There are three options:

A to Win
Draw
B to Win
This gives you 1/3 chances of winning.

(1÷3) x 100% =33.33%

Meaning you have approximately 33.33% chances of winning a single game.

Accumulate 10 games in a bet slip and your chance of winning becomes:

Total number of accumulator = 10

Total outcome (based on 3-way market) = 3×10 =30

Chances of getting a Win = (1÷30) x 100% = 3.33%

Now 3.33% is close to impossible. It means you will hardly get a win. Most people bet this way, that is why they are unable to win often.

The solution is to avoid being greedy. The higher the number of accumulators, the higher the chances of losing. So stick to singles bet or few accumulators.

You can make risky bet once in a while for the sake of fun, but your main bets should be mathematically sound.

If you cannot avoid greed in sports betting, it will be better to quit. Forget the fake Twitter or Instagram posts telling you they just won 30 millions, 25 millions etc.

Those are just to feed your greed and get you hooked on to Sports betting like drugs. The only people that stays afloat in sports betting are the non greedy ones. Others get drowned in sea of losses. Sport betting is a scary place for greedy folks.

Sorry if my answer is a little bit too strong. There are a lot of Sports betting promoters out there.

They suger-coat a lot of these thing so bigginers don't know what they are getting into and thus end up being decieved. This is the hash truth about football betting.

Three weeks ago, a guy I know of won 15 millionaire by staking a game of just N300. With 1000, that 15M could've even tripled. At that moment, I really wished I was a gambler. Imagine the turn around that'll follow that. There ade other stories out there too.

I think the key in life is just to never go overboard and always playing safe. Otherwise, life no get formula jare. Like if you dey gamble, always use your brain. Only 10% of your net finance. If you're not one, do something else to improve your life, but within limits. Because even careless businesses have ruined wealthy people.

I over completely agree with you, if that English is allowed. Limitation is the key. personally I stake just like millions of Nigerians but I don't go overboard, believing I want to make millions that day on betting. I have been lucky enough to win sometimes, but when I don't it no sweat because I didn't take it serious anyway. Moderation and knowing when to stop is a major key to self control on staking games.

If sport betting was a game, people will win... but it's a scam... the wait for you to put money, they know once the cut some important games, more than 90% of stakes will cut... that's why on the day you feel all is set, bayern Munich will lose at home... or man city will lose ...

I'm very sure seun is the one who posted this on FP, that guy has serious beef with gambling.
The truth is life is all about risks, everything we do is even gambling, insurance? Jobs? Business? Etc
The key to gambling is just make sure you don't spend more than you can't afford to loose.
Eg, instead of carrying Ashley for 10k, use it to gamble, you win you carry her you loose, you forget her, after all *six* is not food.

Back then as an undergraduate I used to use my little upkeep to play it. Though only once I won 67k but my N100 and N1000 daily sometimes if combined exceeds that 67k I won.

After graduation I started seeing money and began to play 2 odds 5k, 10k, 20k and losing was consistent then I stopped.

I am glad that it's 3yrs now and I don't think I remember how to book games.

I am better with my finances but then I have brothers and a friend who are addicted to it and hoping to win millions one day.

I pray they win their millions because it's already ruining their lives and relationships. They will Be broke but will use last cash to play hoping to win. Their lives is going in circles.

I am glad I was able to overcome the addiction but sad for my brothers and friends

Man city lost against wolves 2 weeks ago

In essence nothing is sure in betting. I have played only 2 odds many times with big money nd the game still looses. if u re not destined to get rich through betting u will always loose even if u played an odd of 1.03.
Besiktas last week was a case study

Every young man should celebrate two days in a year .

Second , the day he made a lasting decision to quit betting .

I'm 7 years out of it and have never regretted making that decision ....
