How lucky have you been with the bookies?
Sports betting involves a lot of analysis and know-how, but it is a lot of luck too, and to win big, one has to have a huge amount of luck on their side.
We asked five bettors who have been lucky over the past how big they won, and what they spent their winnings on.
"₦127k was my biggest win from bet" Sideeq
I won ₦127k from a ₦25k stake on 2 days 2odds rollover.
I used the money for debt settlement, thank God I won, it would have been really embarrassing for me.
I used the remaining to buy stuff that I can't remember now, but I remember I used close to ₦30k to buy foodstuffs for the house.
"₦114k from bet9ja is my biggest ever win,"- Olamide
I bought clothes, flexed with it, and I remember using some for my SUG campaign fliers, safe to say I won the election because of betting, I paid some department heads and school influencers with some of the money and they helped me.
"₦187k or ₦189k that year,"- David
I paid school fees for my guy, was really glad I did it, then I sent 'mumsy' and 'popsy' some money.
I got a laptop too. I was broke two weeks later, but it was worth it.
‘I won 500k and spent it on women,’- Olatunji
I won ₦500k with ₦900 from 1960bet.
I should have staked with ₦1k, but that would have meant I would have to walk home, so I collected ₦100 change.
I Used ₦30k to buy an android phone for my girlfriend, and I gave her more than half of the remaining money.
I bought clothes and gave the shop owner ₦2k.
I took about ₦200k to school, and for two months I was womanising and living like king, that was in 2015.
"I won 97,000 with 200 naira stake,"- Femi
I won the money from WinnersGoldenBet in 2017, the first thing I did after winning was to buy a new phone, an Infinix hot 4.
The remaining change was used to enjoy and gamble more again.
