I lost over 450k within a month to bet9ja in 2019, I tried recouping my lost fund of initial 260k only to see it increase to 450k in space of 2 months, Liverpool vs Barcelona semi final champions league was the last straw that broke my camel back as i layed 260k for Barcelona to qualify for final, i think the odd was around 1.12 as Barca has already thrashed Liverpool 3 to 0 at Camp Nou only for Barcelona to receive 4 to 0 at Anfield, what a game!
I couldn't sleep and felt so depressed.
February 2020, a miracle happened, i saw a link for arbitrage betting training, d guy requested 1k to join the watsapp group for training and i decided to try it out, i was like 1k is too small, i won't mind getting scammed, only for it to be real.
Between Febuary to June dis year, i recovered all lost to betting from many bookmakers sites and made more than what i lost, it only pained me that bet9ja was not the bookmaker that paid most of the funds recovered. There was no lockdown for me as the period was when i recovered all my lost fund from conglomerates of betting sites through arbitrage makers.

Losing money is temporary madness, I saw an advert on YouTube on how to make a minimum of $7,000 with affiliate marketing within a month. Pull up my card with pride like am about to make it, sign up for the masterclass with $79. Only to attend the masterclass and find out that all this platform to make this money ain't open for Nigerians cheesy

To be Nigerian ehnn, I just weak


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haFitsJD64A
If it is not for nigerians why do they allow you to sign up in the first place? I have seen so many things like that, from the start you can't be allowed. Request for a refund except it is scam. My bro made payment for something online, didn't like it he was refunded 4 working days but small amount was taken off. it is owned by an European company.

My biggest loss was $75 when I intended buying ssn,socks and other online tools to create an Amazon dropship account from a particular darkweb site.I paid in bitcoins and got scammed.

I have learnt my lessons tho,I didn't relent I had to research more by buying more ebooks on better ways to access the market and how to identify legit vendors there.

As at today am a master on the darkweb.

my own was on the streets of manchester. this street called cheetham hill road. so i was jejely strolling ooo minding my own business na hin this rover car pull up beside me. inside was 4 white guys. they looked dodgy but i was on the streets so no fear. they whistled at me and told me to come over, so i stupidly did, then the guy pulled out a bag and opened it and showed me this high powered laptop that was looking really nice. like i can get some work done with that Kinda laptop. my spec. just looking real nice and powerful. The guys said they just got it from one shop and it cost like 1500 pounds but they will give it to me for 150 pounds because they are desperate and need the money. i priced it down to 120 pounds and they finally agreed. so i went to the cash machine and gave them the 120 pounds and they gave me the bag. i was excited thinking of all the things i was going to do on that laptop when i get home. so i even bought snacks on the way to eat while i am enjoying the laptop. when i got home and opened the bag what was inside was 2 large bottles of coke. the thing weak me. my spirit sank just a little bit. i think i went to bed just to forget the whole incident. lesson learnt is FORK ALL HUMANS. ITS ME AGAINST THE WORLD. I VIEW EVERYONE WITH A HAWKS EYE.
You self nawa oh. You suppose know say buying from shop na im sure pass.

Lost 800k to an unprofitable business- Bus a mini -Bus dat was almost dead waiting to be buried. I relied on someone i thot had knowelege of the bus business

I couldn't even recovered 10% of my investment before given it out. SO PAINED TILL DATE......

LESSON LEARNT-- Never rely on one source when going into business. Sample other options or opinion.

You need to discourage yourself from generalizing. Every tribe is Good and every tribe is bad.
I can give you double of that money #68,100 if you stop the hate in your blood because that's a million times worse than what you lost. Ok?

Well you can whatever you like, I don't care, but It is not about the money but how it happened, if more than 10 igbos can support crime on a spot without any one condemning them, that is something is wrong.

He almost deceived me into contributing money to buy a tractor... I would have lost serious money if I had given him the money

MMM December 2016 gave me back to back blow of N3.5m

In a bid to recover early 2017, GHW mercilessly drew N1.2m and bitcoin worth 10,500 USD then away from me.

These two scenario beside the chicken loss to other ponzi made me to be scared of MBA Forex despite that guys are smiling with it.

lost 6.8 million to bet9ja virtual upper friday and $650 last friday. I've been loosing money to bet9ja right from nigeria until now, so i can't really say a specific amount. I'm determined to stop now, in the long run, gambling makes you broke and poor. I can't even take care of myself very well.
Lesson learnt: if you need money or under pressure to recover your losses, DO NOT GAMBLE!!!!!! you'll lose more and secondly, use whatever money you have to pay off debts you owe because YOU CAN'T REALLY PLAN WELL WHILE THINKING OF PAYING DEBTS.
I think we should have a platform on how to stop gambling, IT'S KILLING OUR FUTURE.


Betting is such a terrible addiction. People who aren't addicted wouldn't understand, glad I'm free now but still battling with the damage it has caused. Can we talk sir?

Yea. One is don’t be afraid of losing
Two don’t bet money you cannot afford to lose......soon you will able to bet the money you once couldn’t afford to lose

.......then you can join the live game betting predictions by reading the statistics available on bet365 section of the games on next goal, over 4.5,halftime draw etc
