good luck.. he may turn out to be a good employee.. but I won't risk it. Gambling does not make him inefficient on his job. But I believe those 2 should not mix.. am talking about gambling and accounting. My brother, the result of joining these two has never been pleasant.

However if three is a good regulatory machinery then he can be employed.

Sometimes when I read about you guys comments I will just laugh over it .
I am an accountant and I play sporting bet with my own money and I can control it too .I am not addicted to it . This does not in anyway affect my job . Neither wil I ever be stupid enough to reason what you guys are thinking of using company's money for bet.

What do you guys really think accountants are? Someone in charge of company's fund and spends at his will ? God damn it !! Do you guys realize that there are due process in the authorization of expenses or you think the accountant can just use the company's money ?

Funny enough, there was a time I was booking bet and my MD was at my back , looking at my phone . I guess if you were the one you would have just fired me on the spot . That's a story for another day .
A greater population of Nigerians play bet due to systems failure. Nigeria is a failed country. How much is minimum wage ? And how many private firms can implement it? In a situation where the people's salary is nothing compared to the prices of things in the market, they will definitely look for an alternative.
You would say, why must it be football bet ?
How many employers would allow you to do another business while working for them ? You can play sporting without leaving your office unlike another business

No employer will hire you once he sees a habit that could distract you from your work. I will not hire such person.

Don’t be surprised…. I know CFOs and MDs and FCs who visit all these betting sites on their laptops or phones and make great money. They are even more accurate with predictions than the boys you see on the street.

[quote author=lavylilly post=131745061][/quote]It is a serious red flag

When hiring people for sensitive positions you want to be sure they have no issues that can make them open to blackmail

A person with a gambling habit,
A person with a drug habit
A womanizer

All of these can be used by criminals to compromise individuals

And a person who is using the app in the venue of an interview is a problem gambler.

It is all well and good to say your private life is private but it can overlap into your work life, especially in Nigeria where first and foremost what you see in the news is the person's place of employment. X company engineer raped child. X company bank ran person over.

We had an issue years back where there were repeated vandalizations of cars in my close. Maiguard was always asleep when it happened. Later I heard that the maiguard had a gambling problem and finished his money as soon as he was paid. Anyway he is gone and the vandalizations have ended.

I also remember how one of my colleagues started dating an expensive babe and started having serious money problems. The guy started forging expenses. His boss caught him once and they covered it up. Then he did it again and he got caught proper and sacked. All benefits lost. A fking mess.

We had a guy working for us who had drug issues. More than once we heard but the guy was never officially reported as using while working. Then one day he had a psychotic episode and was running round naked and trying to stab people. On site. He was a project supervisor and it was a complete mess as we were working for a large client. We were this close to getting sacked.

In reality, Your private life will overflow into your job one way or another.

I will only not employ him because her lacks professionalism, that was not the right time to play bet. He is not discipline enough and might do other things during office hours.

He should have been patience until after his interview

If you have the opportunity to participate in American or Canada visa lottery, will you do it?

If yes, how are you better than the employee that palys sports betting?

If yes, you have no moral justification to judge the guy. None at all, because the two of you are interested in the same thing

I'll employ him as long as he's suitably qualified for the position, everyone (including the MD & the HR) most certainly has their own devils they're hiding from people's public glare. Whereas this young man seeking for employment is even bold and courageous enough to have been open about his addiction (w/c in my opinion is not even a SIN by any means or standard, except when it has taken the place of God and his service in his life). Mind you, people play all kinds of lottery (including Crypto trading, FX trading, even if your name is in any form of pool system where a prize is to be won or awarded, you're simply a lottery player, be it Visa lottery, Canada EE, PNP, and what have you, so long as you're there to be picked, it's called lottery and all of 'em share the NLB as it's regulatory body)

Why stake in such place.

I play bets too. One of my rule is "there's always another game, any minute, seconds. I don't kill myself to play, instead I stay chilled, I let my game come to me.

I wont hire him.

So someone else has this mindset.

They way people chase bets like the bet company will stop business that same day or it is the last game on earth.

In as much that you are right, but I have a wonder kid who was a junkie. I call him a kid because of his lifestyle

When I was working with a multinational in Nigeria, I had met these dude at the company that I keep wondering how they employed him. He is a drunkard and definitely uses drugs. He falls from staircase and smokes cigarettes heavily. His driver complains he clubs to morning and still resumes work same morning. You need to see how haggard the dude looks on his BEST days.

But one thing is that, dude was a wizard! One of the best I have seen in my career. He knows it and doesn’t fumble. Just get him on that network and he will fix.

I. Relieve top management will fire him when they get a match for his skills, but I still left him there after 10 years.

You are a liar! Bringing his bad habit to an official workplace clearly shows gross indiscipline. Only a stupid employer will go ahead and hire him. Next time hire a punter to be your accountant. You, in particular, need wisdom.

I don't blame you. Manage a financial institution first, then we will know if you will still spew this rubbish. Supporting crooked behaviour reveals the kind of person you are. You, like that gambler, should not be trusted.

In as much as you are different, u have seen accountants who gamble and ended up siphoning the organizations money. In line with your thoughts, other professions also gamble. All in all the effective control of excessive gambling you said is the key point. Not just for your profession but other's too.

Thanks. 🙏

What if they didn't see him?

If he's qualified for the job, let him have it.
