Nigerian betting sites are thief, they intentionally remove the cashout menu to prevent you from doing that, if it were foreign bookie they will not do that.

Sorry bro. I've been there, I'm not totally free from them, but I've learnt my lesson and I hope you do too. My own nah cooperative money wey I collect for business. I got greedy too and they chop everything to the last kobo. Nah this July I just complete the payment. Just believe that when there's life, there's hope.

So sorry about your situation bro. It's not easy at all. I've decided not to stake more than 10k going forward.

To recoup some money, I've kuku been trying to bet safely ever since.

You deserve to be caned.
The next thing is that you will collect money from another client to do the 1st one's work, start posting the 2nd client until you get a third, do the 2nd one's work and start posting the 3rd client, etc, etc.

I always pray to God never to meet someone like you. You guys are the epitome of everything wrong with this country. You used a client's money to bet. That client is probably asleep now thinking his work is ongoing, not knowing that a criminal like you is about to take away his joy for the rest of 2020.

Only God will judge you. Wicked fellow!

I deserve it, no doubt. And I regret it. Never throught I could do it myself until it happened.

I understand the point you're trying to make. But bros, country hard. Not trying to justify gambling or any of that, but I feel betting is better than theft. Without enough jobs and enabling business environment, I feel it helps to keep our youth occupied in the meantime. Assuming one plays responsibly, of course.

About the client, no, I don't intend on telling stories. In fact, I've been trying to make back the money from them. So far, I've made about 100k. Only difference is that I now bet more responsibly.

Thanks for your insight.

Please tell me you're not thinking of going back to bet some more.

It's the only way I could raise money fast enough to fund the client's orders. So I've been trying to do so responsibly ever since.

Good day, everyone.

Yesterday was one of the most confusing days for me. For a moment, I almost ran mad.

Two weeks ago, I didn't even know what betting was like. Never done it, never experienced it. I hardly knew what the numbers meant.

Fast forward to yesterday, Tuesday, 28 July, I was risking a client's money on a game I thought was 'a sure bet.'

It was an eSports game I've been following for a while. I knew the players involved were very skilled and could score for fun. They did so in over 10 successive matches last night. So I thought it was worthwhile betting they'd score at least 2 goals.

I tried to do so in three attempts, but didn't have the mind to follow through, only for the matches to end up with at least 3 goals or more.

Informed by this, I thought it was safe to go on ahead and play this one time. I did. Unfortunately, both matches didn't end like I had predicted.

Over 800k was gone in a flash. I couldn't believe it. Seeing the signs, I attempted a cash out while the match was still live but couldn't, as the option wasn't available.

You may wonder why I had to risk such a huge sum.

It's simple; think I got greedy. embarassed

However, my excuse was that I needed money to offset some bills. Faced with so much responsibilities, I thought winning over a million naira would go a long way in helping me take care of stuff since business hasn't been coming in so much. The tile money I used was my first business since March, before the lockdown.

But, of course, my greed overshadowed any excuse I could offer.

To all the young men out there, please, regardless of how sure you are, do not stake more money than you're willing to lose. I've been there. The allure of making it big sooner can be overwhelming, but don't risk it.

If you must, stake little sums and make future bets from your winnings.

Never gamble with money you cant afford to lose.

I have lost 40k in gambling in one week. But I could do that because I hammered 200k from gambling first.

If you are gambling, always set a budget.

You placed that amount of money on simulated reality league (SRL).
Perhaps u mistook those clubs for real premier league club.
Perhaps the matches were manipulated because your potential winning was too much.

SRL is controlled

Sorry sha

The average soccer (FIFA 19) esports players earn less than $20,000 a year. they can easily be convinced to throw a game for $10k or less. The fixer earns his money by betting across multiple sites.

the players you referred to, are they footballers or gamers?

The bookies are not in charge. You can actually watch the players playing it on YouTube. They are professional FIFA 2019 players registered by EA Sports. However, the sport is just like tennis. It is between two individuals, so if you bet on it, just one (or both) players having a bad day and your money is gone
