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.

Will they listen?
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.

This is after it almost ruined your life. I am not playing to win big. I am doing that to sustained myself, inasmuch as I am broke with no help from anyone, I will be doing it once in a while. About two weeks ago, I won three thousand naira with #100. I cooked soup. I enjoyed myself. na greed and desperation dey kill most of you....

You went into betting with the mindset to get rich from it and now it has almost ruined you. Gambling is not for the poor, it is for the working class, the middle class and the rich. Britain's backbone today is gambling. Why do you think they are the only people that control pool betting. Bookmakers and betting companies invest a lot of money. How do you think they make profit. Betting companies even have their adverts on many team jerseys. The biggest mistake you can make is to bet everyday. That is why when you walk into any bet shop, you'd see that there are those to whom it has become a full-time office. I only place bets on weekend matches. Let me not forget to add that betting is one of the major employers of labour and it's legal. Above all, do not bet with sentiment but with logic.

Verdict: big teams will always lose to small teams, there will always be match fixing whether with VAR or not else football is dead.

Listen to Kenny Rogers "the gambler" and learn. Play with what you can part with. Wise bettors can stake on just one match. Bet companies and promoters feed on your greed. The greedier you are, the more your chances of losing. The best options to pick at the moment are;

(A) half time over 0.5 or under 1.5
(B) the weaker team to score


NB: with the coroner virus pandemic, there is no more money from ticket sales but I can assure you that they are making more money than ever before. That is why the big teams will continue to fumble and the wise will keep cashing out.

Well, well, well...

This one has turned betting into his office, using the money to cook soup.

I win

but you like totoh....something must kill a man

Some people has made it big in betting yet some people has lost a lot of money in betting. Everything in life has its advantages and its disadvantages, a lot of our people are greedy, Moderation is the key

Incase you don't know na me talk

In as much as betting is a business to many nigerian youths, it's also a problem to those addicted to it.
Think about your future and stop betting.

Betting is evil
Betting is bad
Betting is a curse

Bla bla bla

All this story won't stop an addicted gambler to stop gambling

Once you are addicted, asin ADDICTED eh

E don finish

Hmm....a non substance addition.

Betting will render you useless , I bet almost more than 8 years no results . I was living a full of frustration and depression .. you'll be always having false hope that you might hit big on the Long run .. My family thought it was spiritual problem .. deep inside I knew my problem..

Thank God I quit Since last year.


I Don't even have interest in football talks or watching live matches .. I engaged myself with something serious .

I knw

Habit

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.
