A Nigerian Man Won $51,000 in Sports Betting With a Bet of Just $1.072

[Strongkored]

It looks like it's a hoax news, there is no information mentioned about where he lives, bet on the casino or bet on any market and so on, .
With only a small bet value and getting a big win, that person must place a bet on a very large multiple bet or on a large odds that the possibility of winning is very small.
But I agree when you get a lot of money from lottery gambling and so on, it's better not to tell it publicly because not only will many people be jealous but will be the target of tax collection, or something else who also wants to benefit from what he got like a thief

It depends on what kind of success you talking about. If I’m winning some jackpots and lotteries and earning tons of money then I should definitely keep my mouth shut because that’s temporary money, it’s not gonna be there for whole life.

However, if I am lucky enough to set up my own business, become star, millionaire with my own hard work and let’s say my names getting published in news paper or magazines then that is public success. That’s a public figure and we can’t do anything but appear in the public and be social.

At the end it also matters: Whether the success you got is social loving or social jealously!!

What is or are your opinion(s) on this matter?

Well, I leave religious questions aside. That the man earned that amount is a statistical event like any other. Improbable, yes, but with all the people in the world betting on games like the lottery, by pure statistical probability, someone will end up winning.

Regarding telling, I think it is better to keep a low profile and tell as few people as possible. What happens is that just when the amount is bigger, which is when you should keep it secret, it is more difficult to hide it.

[Peanutswar]

This guy is so lucky imagine just a single dollar you won a large amount of multiplier and just wondering this is just a one bet or still a lot of number of games to bet so he came up with that large amount because upon playing in different sports bet I experience is most likely this kind of odds like x12 is mostly happen in the event of match with the underdogs like unexpected wins happen this most likely happens to the people who always commit a yolo betting.

Big is relative to his bills and general outgoings, I know people who will spend $51k in only a few months and go only a little way for their needs.  'multi-millionaire' might be true nominally but I wonder if his bills are small enough to feel like millions.  I agree generally he should just put it away and wisely, remove debt from his mortgage or similar lifetime assets or debts.
  I do wonder about the prayers in thanks to a gamble, to me personally its fine to be grateful smart even but I thought in that religion it wasnt allowed to gamble maybe it varies alot on interpretation.  I consider sports gambling especially this kind of long shot of bet to be quite harmless but again this varies how its done.

I was going to ask about Muslim’s and gambling.

I know no pork allowed and a few other rules but I am not sure about gambling being allowed or banned.

I carefully read the reference pic given the op but it's not a common matter but I can strongly recommend that it's super miracle for him.
From what I understand from the news, he had bet on a few football games, so luck is with him Caught so he bet on every game. And he gives 800N with bonus  he gets totally $51363>>>>>>

He wons all bellow bets

Leipzig -Vs Hertha B S C with ods 1.43
Tottenham Hotspur -Vs Everton with ods 1.50
Strusburg Vs Lille  with ods 2.35
Atlanta Vs Sussacio with ods 1.68

I am confused about how the man gets that $51363 with just these odds...  sounds like a hoax to me.. but well who knows...

He should keep it private or request the betting site to not show his face or post his information especially if coming from a poor family and neighborhood, he can give a portion of his earnings to friends, relatives, or those who are in needy but in a discreet way, by showing his earnings, he will put himself in trouble and his family and people will say bad words to him when he declines to give them a portion of his winning and he will be a subject of talks whenever they see him, this is the bad part of showing himself after he won a big amount.

True, any financial gains should be kept private.  If kept on an open tab, it will gather too much attention in both a good and ill-mannered.  It can also put himself and his family in danger since the human heart is filled with jealousy and greed.

did we know what is was the winning bets/teams he played? of course it's everything confirmed no rigged match etc?

The news is incomplete, just a few sentences and a random incomplete bet slip ( possibly photoshopped  .)

 
 It seems miraculous to me too, how someone could become the owner of so many dollars by completing just a few bets. Moreover, it has been publicized in the head column of a local newspaper. However, if God keeps good luck then no one can stop it.

Well let's start with the religion angle to this story....

First of all, true Muslims are not allowed to gamble... so I do not know why he would go to the mosque to pray, if it is not allowed in their religion.   

Secondly, winning a large amount of money always carry a risk... but it will be very difficult for someone to hold back the urge to tell it to the world, when it happens. (The adrenaline is pumping and people are in a very good mood)

I think he will be in trouble, when his religious leaders find out that he was gambling.... so they might tell him to give it to charity.

[UserU]

Imagine his relatives start popping out of nowhere for donations and investments.

[Cryptomiles1]

As I have always said, the biggest risk is to showcase your success with people around and you think they are happy my dear this is highest risk you are taking, I don't believe in sharing my story with people around me or show online how perfectly you are living with your families as a matter of fact,  people don't immediately you start succeeding in life the moment you acquired more enemies to yourself.
Congratulations to him.

[Oshosondy]

Don't you all think that in the course of we trying to show off this kind of winnings to friends, families, colleagues etc, we end up drawing known and unknown enemies to ourselves?

All I know is that we should stay as private as much as we can be. If possible that people will not know that you won so big, it is better that way, but there are instances that these people will surely know, especially in Nigeria that people are using betting agent to bet. If possible they know, we just have to be very careful. Sometimes, we may want to be private, but before we know, we already see what we do not expect on news, such as these type of big winning. There are some people that won big like this in the past that are leaving okay now, but by been careful too. Even if you do not disclose this at times, there is no way you can hide to people that you have become rich, the richness will later show itself in you that people can see, but it is better that way.

[crwth]

What a great win with him, and how lucky he is with his results. What multiplier did he do, or is it a parlay or something?

If that were to happen to me, it’s going to be something that I wouldn’t brag about because I agree with the members that I’ve posted before me that it would invite people that necessarily didn’t know I exist or something like that. They are after like a residual of the money that I’ve gotten and beg for it or something.

[Bitinity]

I read the news but I cant find the full details of the betslip. I can only see that his initial winning is not fully $50k because he received a bonus added to his total winning. Just curious as it is the first time I see such a big bonus (almost half of the actual win), sounds like 50% extra winning from his multibet. Is there any crypto bookie that offer such bonus?

[noorman0]

It looks like it's a hoax news,

It's real, this is a twitter post of how this story started to get picked up in several news media.

Well, I think it's a reflex celebration even if you have a strong stance on privacy. Imagining that $51k is still big money for 3rd country residents, with such a surprise no one will be able to resist the urge to celebrate with even just the people around.

[rby]

NOW, HERE IS MY REASON FOR MAKING THIS THREAD..
The book of proverbs(from the Bible) says "A prudent(wise) man knows when to keep his mouth shut and when to speak"

Don't you all think that in the course of we trying to show off this kind of winnings to friends, families, colleagues etc, we end up drawing known and unknown enemies to ourselves?

The heart of man is desperately wicked, Man destroy and kill his fellow man out of envy and jealousy, they celebrate your success with you in your front, but when you are not there, they device means to bring you down, or even kill you.

I think people should learn to keep their success stories away from physical people, because as they joy and praise you physically, secretly, they might not be as much happy as they appear physically.

If I am eager to share my success story, I prefer to do it online where no body knows me In person, like this forum, doing this offline with family, friends, colleagues, etc.. I think is too risky.

What is or are your opinion(s) on this matter?

The reason why he could not keep the winning secret could be that he didn't know the bet will play, he must have already discussed with his friends when he made the bet and few games won. When it was remaining few matches to win overall, they were all aware. There is no how to blank them when the winning actually came.
That is why it is good to play online and be anonymous if possible. If it was online, he would only tell someone he wants.

He should use some amount and settle his friends around and plan to relocate from the city for some safety reasons.

[peter0425]

Can't imagine how this would be celebrated if he happen to bet more than that amount?

1 dollars to 51 thousands? that is too much luck in his side,  and wondering how many of His countryman have won the same path in sports betting.

Imagine his relatives start popping out of nowhere for donations and investments.

I can relate in this mate, I have a friend that won a good amount in Local lottery and after that? relatives from every part comes to claim being related to him lol.

[dimonstration]

This kind of news will surely inspire many people but I will not use it to share with others since I might be liable in case they become addicted and lose huge money due to gambling. I believe it’s better to share only this kind of news to gambling community and not to families and friends that still not exposed on gambling.

This huge bet is very rare and hard to hit. It will take your life’s luck just to hit this kind of huge win out of a $ bet. Good for him that he choose to bet at that particular time.

[ethereumhunter]

This is a lesson for all of us that if we get any luck, we don't need to tell many people and just tell people who are really close to us. This is very important because we do not know who will hear the news and we also do not know who will be happy or vice versa. We must be smart to keep it a secret from others so that it will not affect us badly.

No one knows the human heart and this is what we must avoid. If we want to celebrate this good thing, we can do it with the people closest to us without provoking the curiosity of others. We do not have to share all the good things we get with many people.

[Plaguedeath]

This is why privacy concern is very important when it's about personal thing including money, most people can't accept if there's a person who lucky to get a huge amount money or richer than them, they will do anything in order to kill you or rob your money.

However congratulations for that's Nigerian man who won $51,000 from a dollar, it's not easy to achieve and I believe he will never forget with his stories.

[FatFork]

You are right, this is always risky. The world is full of jealousy, envy and selfishness. I only share my success story with my close, trusted friend group and those who I see as being valuable in my life. Why? Well, because I'm not looking to be popular. I'm looking to build quality relationships with people who are on the same page as me, who will support me and vice versa. Also, I don't want people around me who are going to be jealous of my success or try to pull me down because they aren't achieving what I am.

I'm not saying that everyone is like this, but there are many people who cannot handle your success and will try to take advantage of you.

[rodskee]

This is a lesson for all of us that if we get any luck, we don't need to tell many people and just tell people who are really close to us. This is very important because we do not know who will hear the news and we also do not know who will be happy or vice versa. We must be smart to keep it a secret from others so that it will not affect us badly.

actually no need to tell anyone aside from your immediate family because people change because of money.

they can be as devil or greed once saw a large amount of Money , knowing their place? I am afraid of what he can be if people tries to get his winning.

No one knows the human heart and this is what we must avoid. If we want to celebrate this good thing, we can do it with the people closest to us without provoking the curiosity of others. We do not have to share all the good things we get with many people.

But like a person it is?  I believe that he wanted to be famous because this is once in a lifetime happening for the people like Him.
