because he has followed one sure odds merchant on twitter.

no be so dem dey say na confam odds on this space?

if i was into that sort of thing as advance payment for project enter na to drop am straight

lets turn 10m into 20m ! thats how the big boys do!no pain no gain! the only thing you have to fear is fear itself! go big or go home!

ibime has dropped template for all these dodgy high risk money hustle is - use money you can afford to lose and reuse your winnings. no touch your principal.but as a money matter emotion go enter and people can bet the house

In my own opinion the bold is a slippery slope, Na from clap dance dey start. First some people have addictive personalities and will turn this into full time work
Secondly As an average earner not a millionaire which money can you really afford to lose?

My own mantra na see no evil. Koju ma ribi. I don gamble before but I knew the uncertainties that the loses threw me into.

For example : Your parents give you 5k a month for school you lose 1k or 2k on betting, now you have to reshuffle your life till the end of that month, sometimes suffer
Normally you don plan your life on 5k a month, if you win an extra 5k you will live larger but if you lose the 5k it can derail your schooling and your life

I don gauge am say the joy of the extra wins is far less than the agony of the losses

On a serious note, betting addiction was still something that could be managed/controlled until those bet influencers happened. Those guys have done more harm than good to the streets; they've led a whole lot of youths astray. Even though they usually leave a caveat for their followers to bet responsibly, we all know Nigerians never keep to such caveat.

Some of those influencers may drop at least 5 codes daily and still repost games of their co-influencers . The flashy cars they ride and their expensive lifestyle can easily disorient a young person to think that soft life is attainable once u are smart in playing their games; until they find out it is not what it seems to be, but then it will be too late

There are some thing where I am torn on giving people liberty to live their lives as adults and enforcing laws and treating them like children

Drug use and betting are some of them. Everyone thinks they have it under control until it controls them

I get very close friend wey drugs and betting wreck him life. We were roommates in Uni, And was just a disaster.

For example, one day Just said he was going to buttery to buy something and will be back in 10mins. I didn't see him for 13days. The days before cell phones no way t contact him. When he came back he had like 20k debt from betting, he has obviously been rough handled by some guys in the process and his semester was in jeopardy because he has missed classes for about 2 weeks

The last time I saw him in Naija, Life has really shown him from drug use and gambling. No one will believe this guy was someone we used to look up to as teenagers, he was a classmate very smart, he passed GCE in SS1 and by the time we his mates were going to SS3 he was already going to higher institution.

That my talk na just hypotheticals and for argument sake, done enough of the analysis thing in my brief stint betting to know nothing's ever guaranteed...in fact the time I used to spend analyzing games was the first thing that weaned me off betting as soon as I started making decent money.

I know how that feels, The number of excel sheet time I spent analyzing potential bets only for weekend to come everything don evaporate

Spy360:
Should opposition parties form a coalition to unseat President BAT

Yes if they are serious about taking power. Without a coalition Tinubu will win 2027 from his sleep

Amigoss:
There is no guarantee he will lose with this,will only make APC deploy another strategy to grab power....

At least APC will have to think of another strategy without coalition they wont even need to bother. Easy win. Liverpool vs Yeovil town

Hilda reached out to the lady that complained.

we had a guy working for us. also a church boy - or at least the guy dey go church play instrument. good at what he did. but we kept hearing the guy dey use. we had the guy as our main in the field supervising contractors for our client, and things always get heated when contractor tries to cut corners. then the contractors will be dropping snide comments about drug use.

then one day the guy went fully crazy on site. running round trying to stab people, stripping himesel naked - it was a fking mess.

a year later we were thinking about engaging the guy again, hoping he had gotten his s**t together, he had been disturbing us saying he was clean etc, then one morning he started calling another member of the team making threatening calls. obviously high.

i doubt if he can ever get clean, especially going by NDLEA reports we have a bigass drug epidemic and unlimited access to weed

GloriousGbola:
to eliminate an addition you need to modify your environment to remove any triggers or exposure

now set out of your house - bet naija shop everywhere
bet billboard everywhere

open your banking app - link to gambling

open your mtn app - link to gambling

click wrong link when downloading move - link to gambling

make mistake click on link and your youtube, twitter and social media feeds are all gambling

i once stopped taling soft drinks for i think six months. then one afternoon i was watching tv, my son was beside me sipping on a drink. and i crashed. now think of how many more triggers there are for a problem gambler

No regulation from the government also. Them just dey give out betting licenses like water. If you count the number of online bookies and casinos currently in the country, you will open your mouth wide.

It's a problem

that is precisely why the fooking akin alabi entered into politics. to ensure he has acce4ss to the people who will take decisions on his empire

Melvyn11:
Lmao.....I checked the post and she was playing virtual the devil itself. Enough said. If you know you know . In whatever you dont get addicted and have self control . The key point Is "addiction" . I could share countless stories of sex, drugs, Drinks etc ruining various people due to being addicted.

You are right. These bet influencers promote virtual betting also.

I dey Banks crypto channel and was surprised to see him dropping virtual betting on stake st com yesterday. I just jejely left the channel.

Superpower in corporate espionage and stealing technologies for sure. China is innovative in ways to steal technologies and thanks to their manufacturing capabilities, supply chains plus cheap labor they always mass produce.

. You described China so well. Those guys know how to copy like mad.

No one wey drugs no fit disgrace. From Michael Jackson, Hunter Biden, Macauley Caulkin people with the entire world on the palms and drug messed them up

I and my friend coined one phrase back then in 2022 because of how betting dealt with us.

" You are not free unless the Son of Man has set you free"

Wallahi if real gambling addiction hold you. You are gone, You would quit after a heavy loss but return after weeks.Only Jesus can set your soul free.
Devil saw he could no longer use women to hold men down, he now brought gambling.

We were a group of four friends, addiction dealt with each and every one of us woto woto.
It ran down my friend's accessory phone business.
Money wey my friend suppose use arrange camry big daddy, 1.8 million, betting collect all.

I did ajo contribution of 50k to collect 300k. as they just de pay me, that very weekend 1xbet collect almost everything. I lost 10k at first, in abid to recover, I went in with 20k on 1.5 odds. back and forth, back and forth...na so they collect till money reach 80k, I run.

This my guys bin de bet with amounts starting from 50k as far back in 2022
Worse was there were playing Aviator and sporty virtual also.

You go say you don quit but after you see winning online..maybe facebook or twitter..Ginger go enter.

Betting is evil

With betting there is this greed arranged to draw you in
Once you win that 5k, they would show you another nice game with the illusion that you can win more.
They go collect that 5k profit plus your initial profit when you start chasing your loss.

Every Win prepares you for a bigger loss.
You win small and loose large

Michael wasn't taking recreational drugs. They were drugs to manage his anxiety. He had a medical condition.

Betting companies are not to blame. The answer is human greed and greed alone.

He was abusing the drugs and using more than was prescribed. Got to a point he couldn't function without those drugs and ended him

A united PDP is not small but this current one? Wike faction, Atiku faction, Bala Mohamed faction, Obi faction, Kwankwanso faction etc

The point is he wasn't using recreational drugs for fun. He had a medical condition. It's like you taking a medicine for headache and instead of the pains going down it keeps getting worst then you try taking more. It's different from taking Cocaine and the rest

The odds are heavily stacked against you, thereby heightening your greed.
There was a time one option was exploited here on nairaland by a certain guy who won hundreds of thousands from it, he brought the option on here

A guy called innobets used it on champions league night to cash out 44 million naira, he invested 17k. Other thread members won also but not large amounts.
Bet9ja blocked the betting option that very night.

Lets take for instance arsenal plays a minimum of 7 corners every game
If the betting company were to give you a betting option.
The least option they would give to you to choose would be 9 corners.
If they give you 7 corners option the odds would be very useless as even 1.03
Prompting you to either stake high or accumulate games.
And the funniest thing is even that 7 corners may not go in

Simple question I asked my friend, "someone takes away every loophole or any avenue for you to win money, but still calls you to put money on the riskiest of events and you feel they have your best interest at heart."?

Bayern could be playing dortmund today and the odds be as useless as 1.17
Even when dortmund have significant chances of causing an upset.
Thus prompting you to stake very high, with a risk of loosing or accumulating games to further lessen your chances of winning

Even if you stake 100k and win youd be only getting 17k profit which the next loss would erode.
You would have to win 7 times to be at profit in case of loss which is highly impossible.

The day ipswich beat tottenham at white hart lane, you wouldnt want to imagine how much someone lost.
Imagine putting 1m thinking you can get sharp 300k because Tottenham are In-form

My brother, it's an energy sapping venture with little reward. I can understand the frustration of some, when people are desperate for money to solve their problems, get rich quick schemes seem to be the only way out.

I had a mini stroke that day... meanwhile Novak Djokovic lost in straight sets in a game posted by... you guessed it Mr. Banks, though the thing no be him fault e shock everybody, bros I never sick the way I sick that day till my dying day I no fit forget that Tennis commentary 'the unthinkable has happened before our very eyes, this was not meant to happen, this could not happen, but this is happening!!! Djokovic loses in straight sets'

Tennis own, they no de talk that one
Na devil bring that sport, it has emotions and mood swings like a Nigerian girl.

Your pick fit de lead 5 - 0 make e still loose the set 5 - 7.

Abi na the day one Czech guy ranked outside 100, beat Roger Federer in straight sets.
They gave Roger 1.02 odds that day, We picked Roger to win in straight sets na so they flog am in straight sets ..Nobody believe that day.

Women for tennis de play theirs based on their mood for the day.

Tennis don show me shege.
I de quite sure say na me swear for Alexander Zverev,
That idiot made me loose 60k, march 2022, They give this mumu 1.14 odd, he go allow oponent wey no reach am anywhere beat am like thief.

For the remainder of that year, before I sleep and when i wake up I de recite 'E no go better for Zverev" 5 times.

When I was saying it the other day that sports netting is a tale of woes and gnashing of teeth, that guy dey talk say I dey closed minded.

The guy no know wetin I Don see in this betting of a thing.

If u no Sabi cuss, na betting go teach u how to dey cuss for millionaires and billionaire sports men

At times u go just dey ur room alone dey soliloquize like " Ah! Shey bastard man city no fit score 2 goals?..... Ah Guardiola! Sheikh will sack u in Jesus name "! 😂😂😂

It is only online most people claim they are not addicted, but offline a lot of people are battling addiction seriously and cussing bookies, players and coaches daily out of frustration and addiction.
