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

[piebeyb]

I don't see clear information on how he was able to get a big win, while it doesn't look like the picture is a small chance of winning with a capital of $ 1072 and winning $ 51k maybe he needs to take part in several matches to be able to win it, but there seems to be something strange, can you provide clear information about this news , will be greatly appreciated

regardless of anything congratulations for that, I'm not very interested in sharing my success story let alone getting big wins in gambling, I prefer to hide my wins and losses outside of that even in this forum, because being a private person will make me more secure

What he (the OP) has posted is the information circulated everywhere even the national Newspapers. The amount the gambler used was #800 which is $1 as of present dollar rate with the Fiat currency exchange. Probably He played the game with five (5) slips. There is nothing strange my man, this is not the first time I have heard or seen this kind of wins in my locality.

 If National Radio, Television and newspapers and social media could carry the news then there is fact about in it.

as I thought he was using slips and other bets to win big money, but it was a little funny when he won the gambling he went to worship while his religion forbids gambling, but whatever it is he is a lucky man and I am increasingly sure I can win big money in sports betting

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.

In Nigeria where the bettor comes from, that winning is huge and it is capable of changing the lives of many. How do people even win such a huge amount of cash with very small bets? Buying slightly above a dollar to win $50,100 is a one time in a chance something. But the problem is that the winner is likely to splash it on frivolities, on drinks and women. It is the usual thing with people who win jackpots. Nothing anyone tells him that will make him not spend on this things. Some of them will tell you it is once in a life time experience they want to have with all that cash.

Probably luck or jackpot wins. But in sports betting? The only possible way is guessing a tie result or winning a bet having odds with huge difference to result with that amount in a single bet. But isn't it amazing? Small amount becomes huge in a single decision. This is also the idea behind gambling addiction. Many people are hoping for their fate to be the same with those who had great fortune in this industry. Some are even depending their daily expenses to gambling which is totally wrong but who are we to interfere? If such risky way works for others then let them be. But thinking of the same thing 'coz it works to ithers, is a different thing. 

Choose what's best for you since we have different circumstances. If you think you can make your own fortune in gambling then go but never regret losing 'coz it would be a huge part of gambling.

Of lately it has been a bet winning galore in Nigeria with people winning huge amount of money running into millions making them millionaires overnight. It's a nice thing winning because it gives hope of sure being a winner. I think luck is just on their side as the winning sprees are very high now. Maybe we should just call it Christmas bonus they got on time ahead of the years Christmas celebration.

I know that people do win gambling to some extent, but sometimes i don't because someone win a gamblling and i gamble, because I knew that wining of gambling to such values enshrined here is something of grace in particular, i believe that gambling itself is some I knew that if you are desperate of winning it, it's the time you might lose everything, because i understand that gambling winnings doesn't come everytime and it's not what you think that it's easy to win because someone won .

The only problem with such wins is that they come after so many failed attempts, it's usually one or two misses every time and this gives you false hope of getting super close such that you keep playing and investing. Overall good to see that it finally paid out for the Nigerian man, hope he won't give it back to the bookies thinking he will win more!

Am hoping it's sporting knowledge at play and not those funny fixed matches groups people are using on these social media sites

Early Christmas present indeed, just in time for black Friday. Hope they don't blow that money in a second because money that comes easy can also be lost easily.

In my years of following top jackpot winners history in Nigeria, this winning of the $51k jackpot is one of the biggest I have seen so far if this happens regularly then the casinos house may go bankrupt, but anyway they earn huge revenues from other players' losses so there should have enough funds in the hot wallet. But above all, if I win such a high amount, I will quite gamble entirely even though I may be tempted to play again since I got lucky the first time.

I've noticed that these kinds of games are always won by street guys and with small money, you rarely see the big guys with such announcements; perhaps they play online and cash out online without anybody knowing in order to maintain their privacy. Some people believe that gambling money is air money and that because players do not work for it, they spend extravagantly without keeping records, which is why their money generally disappears quickly. However, I believe the problem comes in the degree of the player's financial status and exposure.

The games were basketball matches. Perhaps basketball matches are now easier to predict than football matches, maybe there is something about their sports that we do not yet know.

When we do talk about gambling then chances and probabilities on hitting jackpot would be always there although it is almost close to impossible but still have those odds or chances.
You cant really see these hits too often and its normal for a established casino or bookie to pay up if they are that reputable enough or been known because if they wont
then pretty sure it would really be creating those negative impressions which would really be affecting their business as a whole or even face up some charges if ever.
Its just really that amazing to see that betting on 1 buck do able to win 51k which not everyone could pull off easily.

Multiple red flags on this story. First of all, most of the gambling sites will not allow 50,000x bets. I have seen up to 1000x in Satoshi Dice a decade or so ago, but I have never seen these sort of odds. And secondly, gambling is banned in Nigeria, including the online variety. Even if this guy won the bet, how he will be able to claim it. The authorities will notice the transaction if he sends the amount straight to his bank account. Then they will arrest him for participating in illegal activity (i.e gambling). And then, the "anonymous" part. How we will be sure that this is not some cheap PR tactic from the gambling site, to attract more customers?

I just read this news and it is indeed an amazing one. There are people truly making it big in the betting industry and sincerely, I'm tapping from their grace at every instance I could.
Now with regards to your questions, from the news shared,the news of the winning wasn't shared intentionally by the winner because it seems he had no other means to confirm his winning but to the physical casino and the cashier there was a lady who couldn't even hold the joy and shock from such winnings,
I also noticed that the winner was first in so much shock and had to go wash up to say a pray and I could feel the joy in his face.
It is also true that the heart of men is desperately wicked and I think the best the winner should do is first relocate to a better and safer environment where he isn't known to atleast pit his head down and know how to spend the funds.
Congratulations to the winner and he should try as much as possible to tip the people present over there.
