I still remember the first day I was placed my first bet. A friend of mine won a huge money and I decided to try out on my own n that was how I started losing money on daily basis.
I thank God I was a able to stop it.

Coming from a former hardcore betting guru.

I normally don't do this but I think someone needs to hear this.

This is an advice to anyone that may be rethinking starting this shit, to pls flee away(japa) cos this shit is a f*"king devil's scheme to destroy you... I still regret placing my first bet. First it makes you win big, makes you think there's actually an easy-quick way of making money after all, gives you hope and joy and later takes it back after you start loosing, which is inevitable, you start placing much more money, all your savings and later loans which you may think you can win big again and pay back but you won't, getting you into all kinds of trouble, making you sell valuables just to pay back, gaining nothing at long last except sorrows, frustration and regrets. pls never start betting cos it's like nothing you've ever done before... and If you still bet or gamble in any form pls do your best to stop before it's too late.

Remember there's nothing like sure odds in betting and no matter how big you win you will slowly and inevitably loose each and every penny one way or the other.

God be with us.

Great write up. You are very right, nothing is sure. Even a fixed match is not sure cos teams don't fix match by informing all the players. They just arrange it with one or two key players in the teams. Goalkeeper/defender/strikers. GK and defender can cause own-goal or allow silly goals. Strikers can always do an Ayeigbeni.

Second, many people don't have strategies. Some just stake with emotions or some kids prediction sites that they don't know who are behind them.

Third, greed is killing our people. They want to use 1k Naira to win 1million (1k odds). I am not blaming our people, it is poverty. Can 1k odds win? Yes, maybe once in 5 years of consistently playing. That's why most of the poor bettors' monies are given to the rich. A rich guy can stake 200k on just a small odd like 3.0 or 5.0 that has a higher chance of winning than staking on big odds that have almost zero probability of winning. A 3.0 or 5.0 odds is just 3 or 4 value bet games parlay(accumulator). A good analyst with badass sport analytical tools should be getting 3 or 4 games parlay right at least 30% of the time. Therefore, Bookmakers give most of the Iya Alata, Boda shoemaker, and struggling nairalanders monies to people living in Lekki.

Fourth, many people don't play for fun. Gambling shouldn't be an escape route from poverty. I've read stories of people who just drop one or two pounds on odds that are not reasonable and they won. In fact, I read a story of a man who won 250k pounds in the UK and he didn't even know for several months. He just dropped one pound on a silly odd and continued his normal life. Many people don't have such emotions. How do you test yourself to know if you are playing for fun? If you place a bet and glue your eyes to the screen for the result, you are not playing for fun. If you do your great analysis, place a bet and continue your day to day biz, it is likely you are playing for fun with the money you can afford to lose.

I pity many Nigerians because sports betting will only make our poverty worst. The likes of Akin Alabi, Soname, are smiling to the banks every day. The only winners here are the bookmakers and rich strategic players with a huge bankroll. If you have a betting site with just 50k people, you are already a Billionaire. That Akin Alabi of Nairabet is a multi-billionaire. I know him very well.

Finally, many bookmakers give bonuses to get people addicted. That's why those bonuses have long rollover conditions. They know the longer you stay, the more you get addicted. Only a few people have control over this. How can you test if you can emotionally handle gambling? If you are a very passionate, loving person, family-oriented, gentle, please don't try gambling or taste hard drugs. The so-called "bad guys" easily get out of bad habit than gentle and passionate ones. If you watch several stories of drug addicts, you will discover the good ones that family/people thought will shake the world when they grow up are always the ones that can't be recovered.

Gambling and money doubling schemes have been around for so long and will stay with us forever because every human being has a piece of greed in them. What we are greedy about is different. It's not money for some people.
aptly said.

you see, na God deliver you from financial frustration. We need responsible people who wont tamper with monies meant for rent, school fees and feeding. These three things are very important and not to be used for gambling.

Everyone's got one or two bad habits but I never ever played betting or gambling in my life. Same with cigarettes ,drugs and alcohol,I hate their smell like hell. And I am not even religious, though I serve God in my own way.
You're my brother!
While I was serving (NYSC) in Imo state my Gee won 40k from a bet, he bought chicken and vita milk for me... I was very impressed. The very next day I went to the betting shop to learn how it works. I watched the virtual game for more than 2 hours but couldn't really establish any pattern. Although it seemed like when a new season began, in the first few rounds of matches any team that had WWW wouldn't get a 4th win but could get a draw or loss (same for DDD & LLL). There won't be same result if the previous 3 were the same.
I placed bets of N300 about 6 or 7 times and got no return. The lady knew I was new, she asked if it was my first time, I said yes. She said "take it from someone who has seen a lot here, it's not something you should be doing"....
I have never tried betting since then.
We're the same regarding alcohol, cigarettes, and not being religious.

This is the type of game many people will not reject in their selections and it's this game type that's more vulnerable to fixing...

Home with 1.13 odds have been on a long winning streak... Possible ways to fix this match, either

1. Match ends in 1:1 draw
2. Home wins with just 1:0
3. Away scores early goal and home struggles to equalize
4. Home team red carded
5. Home winning and at 94+ mins away equalizes to make it 1:1
6. Worst of all 21 odds wins


Which ever way I know this game can never play over 3,5 and away handicapped +2 is very much realistic
You can now see that your prediction is wrong
You said the game can't play over 3.5 goals but as you can see it's home leading by 5goals grin

See ehen gambling is all about luck

lolz that this one entered does not mean it is all the teams that are given 1.13 odds to win at home that wins... i was just using that as a scenario that i have witnessed several times... and i believe if you are a gambler you would easily understand the point i am trying to make...

I have shown addicts the way. It is difficult to stop addiction suddenly but you can gradually quit. Download xwin, use the coins from adverts to stake. Dont ever credit real money. If you feel the urge to stake games, just watch adverts, get coins, then use am stake. If you win, they pay and if u lose, na coins you got from watching adverts so nothing to lose. Its over 6 months now, bet9ja never chop my money. Fuxkk bet... That thing is demonic.

I have read carefully the submissions to this post and I must really pity the writter over his predicament.

Everyone has his or her own experience and what doesn't favour you doesn't mean it shouldn't favour others.

I actually started betting in 2011, won some and lost most of the time. First I was employed at that time and only played for fun, not as a means for survival.

After I lost my job in 2016, at that time, I have already developed the skill for prediction and winning. And to be sincere with you, I never allowed myself to be addicted to gambling because I recognized that as a problem as well.

Today, I have a car and built my house because of sports betting. At first, my wife was against me betting but when she insisted of knowing my source of raising capital to fund my farming business and her store, I simply have no option than to show her my online banking mini statements and offshore betting accounts.

At first she was mad about it but she later acknowledge that I have a rare gift and today she blesses me and prays for me as well.

Everything is all about moderation. Yes there are scammers that assure you of sure odds and correct score but the truth is that most of them play on your gullibility and greed through photo editing and the true genuine ones can on rely on statistics and sheer luck to win.


The secret to this is to not play games on a daily basis. This will assist you to control addiction. Also bet what you can afford and bet on your winnings.

I stake high on simple small odds and recycle the same outcome over a specific small odd over small number of times and pull out the cash.

For example: if you stake ₦1,000 over 3odds which is equal to ₦3,000 and use the outcome against another 4odds = ₦12,000. Recycling the outcome against 4odds again will be ₦12,000 × 4 = ₦48,000. In other words, this is mathematically phrased as ₦1,000 × 3 × 4 × 4 = ₦48,000

Me personally, I play on ₦1,000 × 4 × 4 × 4 odds = ₦64,000 {i.e ₦1,000 × 4^4 = ₦64,000} within a two weeks period. Thus, I make over a hundred thousand naira monthly on my naira accounts.


Now, imagine playing offshore using VPN and staking $10 on 4odds over 5 cycles {i.e $10 × 4^5 = $10,240} and wire that money into your account in Nigeria and converting it to ₦...


The rest is history.
Go for what fits your need. If it's not good for you, quit. If you can't find good headed punters to assist you sometimes, be bold enough to quit. Stop lamenting and stop being too greedy using ₦100 to win over ₦1,000,000.

That's a fantasy and daydreaming.
Face reality. Face fact.

Betting is for the rich.
There are groups of guys here in Ado Ekiti, u will need 100k to join their WhatsApp group and start betting on basket ball and tennis. These guys are winning big and spending heavily around Ado hotel like Yahoo boys. I have a ticket with 4million naira stake on inter vs Juventus and inter won the match. The Igbo guy turned his 4m to 9m. A guy in SE almost won accumulation of 1billion naira last yr . So if u are very rich. Betting can make u double your money if u are not greedy

Online betting sites like sportsbet.io or skybet or bet365. You might not be able to sign-up or gain access because of your ip-address is from Nigeria but VPN tools enable you to bypass these protocols. Also an internet banking account also enables automated and fast transactions to be easier and possible.

Like sportsbet.io, you can bet with ₿ btc which I don't encourage because it's a highly volatile and unstable currency but trons {trx} or stable coins like Tether USD {tusd} is better.

You can buy tusd here in Nigeria using Busha wallet and 1tusd is equivalent to the price of $1 {usd}.

Goodluck.
Do you have a winning strategy on this platform coz na that one be koko?

I once registered on bet365 but was later blocked due to my documents not correlating.

I humbly ask for your guidance
