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

[Peanutswar]

I definitely agree with OP with this. You should protect your winnings to yourself and maybe friends and maybe the closest friends at max. People should never know you are making money through that kind of thing. Job is one thing, labor is holy, I think it must be favored to mention. But gambling wins should never be mentioned. If I won lottery I would literally talk to noone about it except my mum and my very close friend in my city.

instead of  spending this to nothing important , best to keep your coins safer and secretly staying in your wallet.
also try to keep your funds in crypto for chance in earning with investing than pure gambling.
the Man truly have His luck on hitting this win , so why not try His luck as well in trading or at least holding.

It is not guaranteed that his luck can work multiple time like this. so he shouldn’t use that fund for any kind of high risky work like gambling. But he can trade with his 20-25% of money. he shouldn’t use his full money for trading or gambling. Because one greed can rob him of everything again as he won so big on Miracle Way for only $1.

With this kind of luck and make transfer immediately in your bank account for sure the bank will make a questionable statement to your account because you don't have a transaction for a time and then make a huge amount of deposit still it is ideal thing to cut off those funds and make a separate deposit because huge account deposit can be freeze by the bank, ideal is to hold for a while and slowly getting the cut of the winnings. If you are really into get rich for sure you wont gamble again to try your luck instead make an investment in assets.

Hoping that the man behind this will learn how to spend His winnings and not just to gamble it all again, this is so much value in that country and for sure , he will leave a millionaire for years if knows how to budget the money.

Congratulations to him  and wish i may win the same lol.

I think the story is too good to be true, I do believe that people can have luck, there are always people who can win lotteries or make a good amount of money, but I also think it is very possible that they have invented a hositria to be more famous and get followers, impressions and maybe do a type of publicity for a particular casino, when you read all the incidents are said, but when an image of what I win or a video is shown it is something that It is already more credible, just as they do here in the forum that there are moments where it is recorded for all to see when there are big winners.

I think he will gamble it again, I'm speculating that he won't give up the fame he built after countless of bets. He made that kind of fortune due to gambling and I think he will continue what he are doing given that it made a lot of money and fame as well. The one thing concerning me is how he will manage the fortune he has now, We all hope that he diversify his money into different things that can make his wealth generate another money. He has the luck and I think skills that a successful gambler has, I would assume that after the fame he has, There would be gamblers that would ask for advise or he might offer services about gambling.

Sometimes I don't believe on all this information because some of the bloggers use this kind of information to make their own money I think this does not have any place it happened is just an Irish story to bring people or drive people attention and for more discussion to also get knowledge in there so I don't know what you may think concerning this because all these things cannot happen really or in a real life depends the place you are coming from because my own area I don't think that this kind of something happen

It is highly possible that the story is a hoax but it is not impossible for a $1 betting in parlay to win $50k.  there had been news about this kind of huge winnings in parlay bet on sports betting.  I believe the main discussion here is not the validity of the news but the behavior of a person after winning a huge sum of money on gambling since the story tells about how the news spreads fast and how the people around the winners behave.

Some of the information are valid, because it can be possible depending the betting ratios that people need to bet with because i believe that betting with 1$ not every platform can accept such, so therefore the information is under probability because it might be true or not, i don't believe such information concerning this.

Well, I understand that bets with 1usd are very valid, I have even seen in some slot machines that with 0.2usd you can start playing, it is something that seems very little to me but eventually it does exist and everything that represents money in USD or in Bitcoin or in any cryptocurrency must activate a casino, no matter how little, remember that there are many times when a player is lucky enough that 1 dollar is capable of multiplying them even to 200usd, these things can happen in a casino Of course, as well as losing everything at once, is what gambling really looks like and the way the player has to face the casino

Minimum bet size would really be varying on what provider or casino you've been playing but in overall it wont really be that much the same.Some do even allow cents or just simply have minimum of 1 bucks above or

just like that but if we do speak about chances or odds then it would be totally in random.It does really depend or vary on someones luck when hitting up huge multipliers or hitting up those jackpots

on just using up a small bet size.Although we cant tell if a certain player is on break even or still on losses when chasing up those hits considering that we dont know on how long
a certain player had been playing on using up those bet sizes.

What a funny advice, how can someone who won such an amount not gamble again?
The best advice for him is to set aside some percentage of the money and invest the rest in some less risky and volatile assets for long-term gain. Because $51k converted to Nigeria's local currency will be a large amount running into millions of Nigeria naira.

well I never mentioned to gamble again instead what I said is to Invest and trade , that is far from what you understand , and also what you you want Him to do?hold his funds in banks or in his pocket?
that money is earned by luck so best to try it better again in other form and that is to trade or at least Keep holding in His folio.
but whatever he wanted to do? it is His money and no one can take that away from him.

If he/she sell and hold that money on bank then he/she must give tax for this money as government law . In my country we must pay 15% income tax after from more then $3k earning in a year . According to the laws of my country, he has to pay about $7.3k in taxes to the government . if he/she want to avoid tax then he must hold his fund in crypto

He can keep his dollars safe in crypto.  There are many ways to keep Hughes dollar safe in crypto like he can buy a hardware wallet to keep his dollars safe in stable coins or since bitcoin is now much deeper than ATH he can buy more than 2 bitcoins with his money now and if bitcoin price goes back to previous ATH price  If equal then he will get 3x return of his money  Which is a potential investment

The problem is to move those huge amounts of money on a 3rd world country, I don't think its easy to buy 2 bitcoins, for sure that would wake up the Bank and the Police Alarms.

And with that money for sure he can do big things in that country, even buy a new house or have a nice back up to support his family for the next years. I feel like investing all in Bitcoin is the last option of what to do with that money in that country.

[Extrarakeback]

How many docs and proof of funds he had to provide to get his winning?
Sportbooks in Stake is Dangerous you might be banned anytime and asked many docs and it might take months for investigation.
Since they willl say Odds provider say this say that.
I wouldn't trust Stake for Sports betting but i would play casino house games there for those ones  i
Believe they have no reason for any investigation

It seems you are right in your assumption. If he invests his money in things like land or house, it will be a strong asset and will provide a strong support to him and his future generations. Every country is constantly growing in population but no country is growing in terms of size so as time goes on the price of strong assets like land will increase. that is the benefit of buying house or land

For us who do really mind off about on how to utilize those winning amounts well then we would really be thinking on buying lands or assets which we can definitely able to buy but of course dont expect something

big or lots of things you could buy since 50k isnt really that too big for you to consider but its not really that bad on ensuring yourself on having some assets which would really be useful on making yourself on having

other source of income possibly.Its true that we dont really have the full rights on telling people on what they should gonna do with their money.Speaking about winning chance then
there's always a chance on winning even on the smallest odd but we know on how much extreme luck would really be needed.

Lands and other real estate investment are not the main investment these days, and most investment analysts are now advising against real estate and other landed properties but if you invest such huge winning into a volatile asset, the possibility of gaining much more in a short term is high.
I like landed properties but then there are no contemporary way of investing this day.

The funny thing of the story is that guy celebrated his win by salat because he is religious and a muslim, the problem is islam forbids betting or gambling on anyway (strict rules in islam) just like ignoring that and doing something bad in islam’s principes. Anyway this guy is really lucky to win such a prise  with a very small amount he risked, it’s a very good odd though and also im wondering  which game  did he play or bet on

The man does sports betting on multibet, judging from the number of bets and also the prizes he gets can be imagined how many bets he chooses at the same time and that's all his options won, that are not easy things very rarely obtained.
Perhaps he wanted to be grateful that God gave him victory even in activities forbidden in his religion.

[mindrust]

In some parts of the world $50k means nothing. So whether you talk about your winnings or not make no difference. If that Nigerian man still lives in Africa, then yes he should keep his mouth shut because African countries are not the richest countries in the world and the crime rate in those countries are pretty terrible. In the US though, many people make $50k in 6-7 months it is not a big deal at all. Nobody will care or murder you for that money.

The man who won such a large amount was a Muslim.  That man was very lucky indeed.He was overjoyed and thanked Allah.What is the destiny of every human being has been pre-ordained by God.His fortune was very good indeed.Because of which he won $51000 with just $1.07.  And maybe that guy won the jackpot.

[Finestream]

Yeah, it's a huge win.

And I do agree that if you win big, you just need to shut up and don't tell anyone, I have read a lot of news of people winning lottery and telling the whole neighbourhood that the next day people are lining up to his house to ask for help and monetary assistance. i mean it's not that bad to help others but what if you can't help them all? And then there are relatives that you suddenly shows up to your door as well for money. And again, you can't please everyone, at certain point there will be people that are going to be envious of you.

That could be possible reasons too why we should never publicized our huge amount of money won. Also, if all people will be aware about your story, then scammers will never let it slip without having something to do. So you’ll probably become their new target, and if they succeed on it, you might fall as their victim which means everything you have will already be in their possessions. The reason why as much as we can, learn to celebrate our winnings secretly to keep us safe from dangerous people.

But does the religion he has allows people to gamble? sorry but I am not that familiar about the teachings of Islam .

though it is indeed that this is how we wanted to thank our God giving us this chance to earn big.

I definitely agree with OP with this. You should protect your winnings to yourself and maybe friends and maybe the closest friends at max. People should never know you are making money through that kind of thing. Job is one thing, labor is holy, I think it must be favored to mention. But gambling wins should never be mentioned. If I won lottery I would literally talk to noone about it except my mum and my very close friend in my city.

there are people who invest less - and get more in return and then there are people who are lucky enough to bet with a small amount and get a huge profit in return but there are very few people who can hold their money properly and can get good use of it.

Yes and if given a chance? I will never do the same thing mate, instead I would love to keep my funds safe and secure by using to more appropriate way than celebrating.

I never tried winning such big, but at least I can handle my funds that is securely given to me for how many times now.

I wonder what would be the punishment of the guy if the religous leader found out that the person is engaging in gambling activity.  Aside from that, most of the government under an Islamic religion deemed gambling as illegal, iis it also possible that the guy will be facing criminal charges?

Anyway this guy is really lucky to win such a prise  with a very small amount he risked, it’s a very good odd though and also im wondering  which game  did he play or bet on

It is indeed a great win that can possibly cause his freedom if the guy is charged of illegal activities.  It is also possible for the authority to use the existing law to rob this guy of his winnings.  Now I feel sorry for this guy for the possible legal cases and religious punishment.

I read some article that Muslim caught engaging in gambling is punished by being caned.  I don't know if this practice still exist.

In 2005, in the Indonesian province of Aceh, fifteen men were caned in front of the mosque for gambling. This was done publicly so all could see and fear. Eleven others are scheduled to undergo the same penalty for gambling.
