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.

Sport betting has been a very coded business for a few!

Saying this with experience,
Like I said mentality matters.

I am a heavy Investor, and a N4m capital on sportybet!

Using a safe 5% of capital as daily stake, a reliable source, a good strategy, the lowest I do in a month is 50% ROI,

There are principles of making money, and once you come to understand this, you are good to go!

If you know you know

And 50% is N2m there are months I make more!

Below is a screenshot of my last won tickek!

Gamble with sense and u would live long enough to tell d tale. When someone who can barely feed without a source of income gambles, then thats a sure way to depression. I no dey stake pass 2k per bet but target minimum 10 odds. I just need to win 3 out of the 10 bets. Do d maths thats a massive over 40k profit. Its my strategy same i apply in my forex trading. I dont see why ppl tag sports betting evil while theyll be the first to encourage u to trade forex. Both are the same technique, one is trying to predict market direction by looking at charts and tecnical analysis the other is predicting the outcome of a game by looking at past head to head and current form. I have lost more money trading forex than i have lost to sport betting. Both of them have their ups and downs. In forex a fundamental news can disrupt ur analysis so also market makers can hunt your stop losses. In football a single red card can bin ur ticket or an injury to a major player. All in all risk management is the key to survival and gambling with money u can afford to lose.

need a cardiologist that can treat me for free in Ibadan or Lagos please
Very funny.
After many years training to be a cardiologist, they'll gladly take this your offer?

Better go find the nearest NGO doing a health outreach cos that's the only hope for a free consult

Not everyone who drinks alcohol is irresponsible.

The same applies to betting

Some people can control it and others cannot

That does not mean it is bad for EVERYONE


Some people can bet responsibly with discipline without betting taking over their lives

Even the mobile phone people carry around can trigger mental health problems in the hands of some people

Some people are PROFFESIONAL gamblers and some so good that some casinos in Lss Vegas BAN them


baba, abeg if you have any odds, pls give me.

Life itself is risk and it is those who dares takes risk that makes it big in life.......


Betting or gambling is not the problem but addiction is. Some persons life have changed for good financially through sport betting. Every person cant make it in life after all the religious book made us to understand that many are called but few are chosen.
