You can't get something for nothing.
You're doing NOTHING and you expect money to magically appear for you?
That's stupidity.
The betting centre has done SOMETHING
-they built the center
-bought the TVs
-bought the PCs
-bought petrol to run the generators.
They have invested in your stupidity and they will always get your money.
This is how every gambling agency works. Be it SportsBet in Nigeria, or Casino in Las Vegas.
-
At least the Las Vegas ones, they create a serene environment with babes to make you dance and have fun and forget your money is going.
Nigeria one is just sweaty guys, with ARMPIT smelling everywhere. You start smelling them from the main road sef.
I never play bet since i was born, and I don't think i will do that from the look of things but you see this smelly armpit and body odour thing ah God 🥲 is Devastating just yesterday followed one guy to a betting... omo i just commot go dey wait for the guy from outside

When you have outcomes like

Tottenham 1 - 2 Ipswich

Sociedad 1 - 0 Barcelona

Real Madrid 1 - 3 AC Milan

It is left for you to decide if it is a blessing or curse

cheesy

I used to do this from 2015-2019 during the days of 1960bet with colored slips after my first two accidental wins, and i became very serious with it in 2019


In 2019, I played only 1XBet and since i used to think I'm smarter that the rest, I usually analyze my games with the aid of some bet analytics like Windrawin, soccervista, Afootballreport and Statsarea yet nothing show


I finally stopped the day i used this 1xbet option 'Player not to score a hattrick" on Bernardo Silva and the game was Man City vs Watford.

City flogged them 8-0 or so and Silva netted a hattrick. Funny thing is, that was his only ever hattrick for Man City till date

Its a curse abeg. Stopped since 2019
lolz village ppl dey forcast ur beting how benardo go score his only hattrick that day.

I haven't done it before and I don't pray to indulge in it, don't like it from day1.



While growing up I saw how pool or whatever they called it then destroyed the life of a family friend. The man was a welder and all the boys he trained are big boys now but he's still in that shop welding tripod stand and other petty stuffs till today.

Maybe he was hoping he would win millions someday which never happened.
Good choice you made for yourself. Don't ever try it.

But this is how u get rich over night.

I have stopped playing virtual, and all those small odds that one team will still cut.

I now spend 200 weekly on big odds.

I will pick 5 to 8 games, play it and goan sleep.

I dont stress myself checking because i know the possibility of it entering is less than 1%

This week, i play brighton to win, ipwish to win, sociedad to win, madrid to loose, psg to loose, bayern to loose

It is better i am wasting 200 weekly, which is not upto 1k a month than spending thousands on small odds and will still cut at end of the day or spending thousands looking for quick money in virtual.

I now have my peace of mind.

After Barcelona and Tottenham results, I have decided to take a long break for real.
How on earth can a team that’s in good form like Tottenham not beat Ipswich ?
Barcelona too ?

Big curse. Production capital is used to speculate outcome of events far away that cant better lives here. It is huge MINUS, though it puts money in few pockets, it robs far too many people of capital and productive time.

About 60 million Nigerians between 18 and 40 years of age may be spending up to N1.8 billion on sports betting daily, a recent investigation by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) revealed.
The figures are staggering

If it's not a curse how can a university graduate be praying for AC Milan to score at least one goal

It Is a weapon designed to destroy our youths and take them to sorry level in the nearest future, this is what happens when people are impoverished
I believe you know betting it is a matter of choice......being a graduate or professor etc doesn't exempt you from betting or makes you immune to betting . ....
Even In the developed world , all works of life bet and at some point get addicted to it......
Yu said, it is a weapon designed to destroyed our youth. That's a lame excuses. Betting has nothing to do with age . It is a matter of choice and lack of self control , greed and other issues basically still boils down to an individual.

I bet . I still go to Casino whenever I am out of the country. I have won several thousand pounds. And I have lost too. It is all about self control and I don't regret betting . Like they say bet what you can afford to lose.

Betting is not just bad but evil, I used to do well in business but because of betting I went into debts, am praying for God to help me back to my fit.....only God can save, if u found urselve into masturbation and betting please run to God cos with this two u can't make it.
I guess we're in the same shoe. I'm presently in great debt because I needed some quick money and business was a bit down. I ended losing my saving including clients monies with the hope of recovering. I have attempted suicide but eventually survived bcoz I don't even know where to start again. Business brand of over 6 years with good customer relationships and good quality delivery past records. Sincerely, I'm just hopeless and traumatised presently. Its not worth the hype that it's a blessing. Whoever says that isn't playing but benefiting from the system one way or the other. The government is aware of several cases in court related to betting mostly youth but the tax is all they care about. If you're not playing sport betting, I hope you never have a reason to try at all. The more you win, the earlier you get addicted and with time. It will consume you damage you financially. Go listen to stories from betting victims not beneficiaries. Just one good deal can get me out of this present mess and I've been praying for it to locate me b4 I eventually end it. Please CREATOR, You're all I have left. IDesign | IPrint | IBrand

A sports betting platform sets its odds so that more money will be lost than won. That is how sports betting companies continue to exist, and by the way they are growing rapidly in Nigeria, you can tell many Nigerians are losing a lot of money.

Count your losses and move on.

It is the same way a casino operates. If you visit a casino frequently and they notice you are winning on a slot machine often, they will ask you not to come again or to play another machine. They are in business only when people lose more money collectively than they gain.

Betting is a devil's gimmick to destroy lives. No matter what the outcome, you always end up losing.
