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.
That's exactly right, bro. When people realise that more money must be lost than won for a sports company to turn a profit, they will understand that they are set up to fail with sports betting.

A curse for those that see that as a way out of life or those that wants to automatically upgrade their finances 😂😂 “#100 to win 25m nor be juju be that” well it happens but in rare cases.
Whatever that controls man in any negative form is a curse to those that can’t balance things up “Addiction” is the word. Basically those that can’t work on their addiction to sport betting it ends up killing them all way round. ( nor blame them majority of them are addicted to it).
Bet for the fun of it comot mind say na betting go change yout life.

In my view, this is harming us deeply, and it’s only going to get worse. It’s clear that our leaders don’t really care about us, they only care about taking advantage of us in every way possible. Betting is harmful and, in my opinion, it’s immoral. These companies always profit and are set up to take everything people have. If I were president, the first thing I’d do is ban it. It’s destroying our youth.
Lame excuses. Betting didn't start today . And it is not going to stop . It is a matter of choice....are they not betting in the UK, Singapore, Japan etc
Leaders this , leaders that .......

I have been too lucky. Made millions this year.

In fact hundreds of thousands every week. I don't watch ball.

Unless it's the world Cup. Never sat down to watch any match in more than 20 years.

I just read My books, go to work.
But I know just about all the leagues in the world... U18, u19, Junior, senior leagues..
All of them.... Frm India to Afghanistan to mongolia to Uzbekistan to Mexico to Ethiopia to aruba ro Australia.....With all the teams...



But I stick to My golden simple rule.
I wont share it here...... I May drop some Hints if U ask tho.


There is bettin with sense. (Logical reasoning)
There is also betting that makes one Deserve a knock on the head Too.


Peace.

Same way the leaders of UK, Australia and US that are the original homes of betting do not care about their youths?

Always blaming the wrong source.

Re: Sports Betting In Nigeria: Curse Or Blessing? Nigerians Speak by Sweeetheart(m): 11:04am On Nov 11, 2024
It depends on your own perspective and how you can control yourself. Ever since I was introduce to betting last year by a friend, they chop me close to 3k but since I got the tactics, I loaded 500naira on the acct I sworn that the day this 500naira don't materialize I will deactivate my acct


To cut the story short, I've never loaded from my acct to my bet acct after the 500, i make sure I saved 10% of my win no matter how much, I use part of my win to recharge, i can't remember the last time i buy recharge card outside



If I win 5k. I risk 500 out of it to play two sure games, and use the gain from the two games to stake a 3-4 sure games


Addiction is the curse in bet not the bet itself. Addiction can be in every areas of life, masturbation, drinking and smoking, flirting addiction kills

Lol. betting companies are not doing father Christmas o.
Help me tell them ooooo.......that's why they say bet what you can afford to lose....
Imagine , someone using 100 naira to gather like over 100 odds , and didn't win. Will still be shouting that the betting company are ripping people off. Is that not greed ? Want to win over a million or close to a million naira with 100 naira .....
Although , I have seen someone won over 800k with 200 Naira . Which is mere luck and rarely come like that .

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
grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

Smart graduate.

Actually AC Milan have played 29 matches this year. And have failed to score at least one goal in only in three occasions.

epainos:
Lol! This is an interesting thread.

Sport betting is a form of gambling that most people struggle to master. Of course, I would not play it in Nigeria because the owners or operators of online betting sites can easily cheat players. This is the truth. So, if you play it in Nigeria, you can expect to be destroyed eventually.

It is a different game in a well-regulated setting. Sport betting has been around for a long time in the UK, and most of our grandparents bet with UK-based companies. Those grannies you saw with red, blue, green, and other single-color sheets at bus stops back then were into it. Of course, the majority of them were losers. Why?

Our grandfathers were losers because they knew nothing about probability, logic, or reasoning. How many of them can even solve a simple algebraic equation? Gambling is a mathematical game with probabilities. And you use the pattern there to make decisions. So, you need an analytical mind to master it. How can they master it when they are always with bottles of alcohol? Lol. A skill that you need to be composed to get done. Lol.

It is exactly the same with trading. Trading forex, futures, stocks, bonds, and other financial markets is nearly identical. OK. Forex trading is bad...right? But you buy stocks of companies and call it an investment. Lol. Education is important mehn!

So, I am just smiling at everyone here saying Sport betting is a curse. If so, stocks purchasing is a curse too. Lol.

The main issue here is that forex and sports betting are so simple to get started that everyone just jumps in. However, intelligence outweighs having a Ph.D. Lol. You can imagine that if proper screening is performed, 99.999% of those involved in sports betting and forex trading in Nigeria are unqualified to do so. Period.

Qualification
1. You are prepared to master an evergreen skill that will earn you money for the rest of your life.
2. You already have a source of income that will support you for at least five years.
3. If you still live with your parents, you have mastered contentment. In fact, most children should avoid it because they struggle with contentment.
4. You are somewhat proficient in mathematics.
5. You possess a high intuitive skill.
6. You can train your analytical mind.

Trading is preferable to sport betting in Nigeria.

Duration of mastering trading
Minimum of 1 year, and can extent to 5 years. During the first stage, you are to use only a demo account after rigorous study. It should not be less than 6 months.

What next?
To see patterns, you must first process data from your chart and then interpret it. This is why mastery of trading requires analytical skills.

Backtesting is very essential
Once you have identified enough patterns, thoroughly backtest your findings. This is where probability comes in. And this is where I help most people. You need to know your win-loss ratio and then map it to the appropriate risk-reward ratio. This way, you will be able to know which trades to take and which not to. This is where most traders fail. And this is where I assist my friends (only my network... one must be careful with losers that will damage ones reputation, and not to run into trouble with the authority if tou are in a well regulated place...and this is why good traders dont take money anyhow to trade...run away from anyone soliciting for investment from every Jack and Jerry) who are presently trading. I do not teach trading because there are so many free online resources available, but I do try to show friends who trade how to backtest effectively, and so far, some have improved to become better traders.

After going through the above proces for almost a year, you will spend between $25 and $600 (an amount you can afford to lose) to open a prop firm or live account with a broker with an amount you can afford to lose after extensive backtesting. What is your assignment here? Not for profit, but to defend this account for as long as possible. I defended mine for more than a year before I began profiting. So, do you see why you need an income and months of study, practice, and review before you can master trading?

So, tell me, did our grandpas do all this? How many of today's gambling boys go through this process? Do they even have the IQ to do what I described above? Think about these things. You want to do the same thing Wall Street gurus do, and you think you can lay around with sachets of alcohol gambling at Nigerian bus stops? cheesy

If you want to learn an evergreen skill that will make you very comfortable in life, you should read this post again. It takes between one and five years to begin making a profit. Can you find a source of income first? And then, can you defend your first investment against losing it for a year or more?

Good luck to everyone.
Use your analytical mind to drop 3 correct scores pls grin

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

Nothing to discuss about this betting is bad, religiously is bad, socially is bad it is not a good "life norms" it destroys life like play like play it drains you and finis you.

I know betting crooners won't agree with me but the truth is a close friend of mine lost everything because of sport betting its a long story and sad one indeed.

Sorry betting is not any blessing to Nigeria only valuable or a curse to the players or those who are involved.

Betting crooners are brain dead putting their little last money to bet on Chelsea or Man United or Arsenal etc and some of the players in those club earns £400k, £500k a week wages pls convert that money to Naira and yet you are using your last N1k to bet on them, pls are alright?
