What's your view on this matter?

I don't want to take this post to the gambling board, I prefer we debate about it here among our selvs. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMBjHT5tw/

So he said he is very happy of doing the business, directly speaking, he is calling sports betting (gambling) a business.

Few questions I would love us to debat about here are:

Do you think this guy was put up with this recording (like being scripted)?

Secondly, how many well do you agree with what he said?

Thirdly, do you think there are people that are actually surviving off gambling earnings? Have you seen any?

[Charles-Tim]

Do you think this guy was put up with this recording (like being scripted)?

Maybe he is a betting agent. Betting agents are making money from their customers that are gambling.

Secondly, how many well do you agree with what he said?

He said rubbish because if sport betting is banned, the country can not collapse. Although, it can result to increase in unemployment a little. I even think the person asked him about bet9ja and not sport bet. I mean I think he asked him if government shutdown bet9ja. Maybe I am wrong but that is what I heard.

Thirdly, do you think there are people that are actually surviving off gambling earnings? Have you seen any?

It is ideal not to think like that for your own sake and good money management.

[Cryptomultiplier]

I have actually seen a guy who survived off betting winning gambles. Just like every other guy with a furnished apartment and a girlfriend and even some cash to spread around occasionally, he was only on spot and the coolest guy I knew back then, until he moved out to another apartment.
I don't really know how the story plays out for someone else, but the reality is that there are some persons that make a regular earning from gambling and the winnings is more than a salaried job would earn one.

[Roseline492]

For the fact he said without gambling the country will be upside down is what I don't believe in anyway because in as much as a lot of people are gambling doesn't mean that we have all build mansion or a company that would make us feel that if there was no gambling all those things wouldn't have been achievable, on the contrary gambling has even turned more into a failure. However I presume the video was scripted as you said to get people attention on what they feel if gambling is something that should be banned, actually even if the country is this chocking, it doesn't mean it will be programed as a source of income

[IjawMan]

Sport betting is a business right now it can make people to be self-employed people that do open small betting shops that act as agents of the betting company. With money won or loss they get a tip or a percentage that they are being given at the end of the month by the betting company and also some of the little tips they get from gamblers that makes win so all of these is a source except for The gambler that comes to gamble in the betshop

Every gambler that I know are not doing well at all.

There were two of my friends that became addicted to sport betting. They did something stupid with their money and their parents money before they quit being addicted.

I know of a person that always borrow money and I know he likes gambling.

No one that I know making it from betting.

I know of someone that will use 5000 naira to win 50000 naira like many times like 8 years ago and he was making money from it but he later become someone that sold his laptop to gamble and lose more money.

I have seen enough to make me conclude that betting should be done wisely with good money management.

[Oshio-man]

I think this man sound like someone that own sport betting center because dey are d ones making cash from gambling and dey have turned gambling center into business, all their bills are coming from the sports betting and there are some sports betting owners that use to borrow their regular gamblers cash to play bet because dey no were to collect d cash back, if I say gambling is not a business na lie I dey lie  because I don see many people who use sport betting center to build houses and other assets.

[Alpha Marine]

Secondly, how many well do you agree with what he said?

If he is talking as a bet company agent, then it's a business. Bet agents make a lot of money from gamblers who play in their shop depending on the location it is situated. If he is talking as a gambler, then he is wrong. Gambling is not a business. There are too many uncetainties and luck factor for it to be a business. And the ban on gambling cant make the country collapse. The country has already collapsed.

Thirdly, do you think there are people that are actually surviving off gambling earnings? Have you seen any?

I doubt there are people that survive sorely out of gambling. There are probably people that use it to support, but that cannot be their sole source of income wich they survive on.

[Pablo-wood]

He sounds more like an agent than a gambler. If so then it's a business. The space was obviously rented with the sole aim of making profit from gamblers through the commissions gotten from the wagers placed by the players. A gambler might not call their own activities business although if critically analysed we could find some business possibilities from gambling, example selling odds and predictions.

It could be a business depending on the perspective we are coming from. Some gamblers are so good at their predictions that the record more winnings than losses so in such case they are making more profit and can call it their business because it takes care of their bills

Person way say eh go school no even sabi watin eh they talk, all this nah pure content the guy no get any fact to back up his claims.

The betting shops self especially bet 9ja that one don shock Youth pass watin dem don collect from the company, if government ban am eh go only affect mostly the owners no be the players dem go even help gamblers save money and not the other way round because nah only few individuals they win they enjoy the advantage of betting.

Your allegation about it been a content scripted could be correct or wrong but about the subject matter with how the economic situations are I don't know if I will be right to say that the gambling industry in Nigeria has done more help than harm because I have seen people who won money that made a positive turnaround on their lives in the same  manner I have seen how it's ruining the lives of some with chronic gambling conditions.
Above, it's true that those that owns betting stores and mega gambling centres are mostly going to be affected badly should government place a ban on gambling activities in the country. The gambler is the least to be affected.

It's a regular source of income for the gambling shop owners whereas the activity itself isn't and can't be referenced as an income source reliable.

It doesn't look scripted to me, but at the same time, I would still advise that we all be careful of what we watch and listen to on social media.

Secondly, how many well do you agree with what he said?

Well, it seems he happens to be a very profitable gambler, which not all people are opportuned to. But I'm not sure of how often he wins, because the expenses that comes with living in this country, demands alot of income. The government is not doing the needful, fine we already know that, but surviving on sport betting is literally one of the most craziest thing I have heard of. Like I said, we can't be too sure, since it is all from social media.

Thirdly, do you think there are people that are actually surviving off gambling earnings? Have you seen any?

Like i said, this is literally one of the most craziest thing i have heard of, which means, I even find it strange and rare for people to do so. I wouldn't advise anyone to try this either.

[Samlucky O]

So he said he is very happy of doing the business, directly speaking, he is calling sports betting (gambling) a business.

Of course it could be a business for some people to make money but not for all. Why it can be considered as a business  is because many people win more often than the others and they will feel it's the only way to make money or sees it as a business, And this ls the main reason most people are misleaded or have a shallow understand about gambling.

[Tungbulu]

I’ll jump right into the summary of the whole thing. Yes there are actually people who are making a living off gambling, and thereby consider it as business, but that is those who owns their the gambling shops and outlets, honestly I don’t believe there are gamblers who actually make a living off betting because everyday no fit be Christmas nah, there are winning days and some days na for the losses too, so that means if them Dey rely on gambling as source of income, if those period wey person Dey get losses back to back comes, that means no food for them nah. Plus we already know say gamblers them Dey often lose more than them win, so how them wan take Dey earn a living from am.

I won't want people to be mislead by my statement that gambling has changed the lives of some gamblers in this hard times, I know someone who won #15m while trying his luck, that's doesn't mean that people should look towards that direction as a hedge to this current inflation were facing in this country, being a game of luck is enough to discipline people concerning seeing gambling as a source of income for survival but some foolish people have allowed themselves to be used as wrong examples cause they fail to gamble responsibly, take it a source of income and the price to that was addiction.

 Anyways, I won't blame the gambling industry since they didn't force anyone into gambling and if the government decides to ban gambling activities in the country they'll be at more than the gamblers since it's a form of business for them  whereas just like Nwada said it would only help reduce the rate of gambling addiction in our society and help youths to save money, Atleast they'll channel it into business or investments.

[Joy- maker]

I have seeing many people calling gambling a business, but I don't really see it as a business, but aa a game of chance because many Nigeria that I know I have really benefited from gambling including myself but I have stop and now put my money in bitcoin.

And Secondly I have seeing people surviving with gambling, I have a friend who is paying his and feeding himself with gambling, some people use to be lucky when it comes to gambling, while some people are not always lucky on it.

[cxtreenal]

The location shown on the screen is in the United Kingdom. Sports betting is a profitable business he says and I don't think he's doing it fairly. Of course he may be doing it with the help of local law enforcement.
I think it's just a business opinion that his business is growing based on the number of people betting. It could also be misinformation because most gamblers and gambling businesses have a high loss rate. He's making a public statement.
Some gamblers can survive temporarily by gambling but most people who gamble for a long time have become destitute and lost everything.

[Gozie51]

I know that many people are now gambling and trying to live by gambling but how much they have been able to survive doing that is what I can't place my finger on. Though they make huge winning from time to time but also go broke as soon as they have won because they try to win more by increasing their stake. However, to stay or live by just one hussle in naija is difficult, that's why I believe that gamblers also have other things they do to support the hussle. They go broke fast as they win the money and that is the challenge. Like yesterday I know of someone who is saying he won 80,000 at night betting on sports bet but that he had already used the money to sort out his needs and debt he was owing. So the question is what about if he doesn't win the next day...

To people that own betting shops it's actually a source of income to them and scrapping betting can lead to unemployment for a lot  of people. Although gambling is very bad when it's a case of addiction but many persons actually make earnings from gambling on football and other things available on these platforms. Although we can't be sure of anything these days most interviews are scripted for content but to so many people gambling is if not their major source of income its one of their other sources of income.

It's an understandable fact that there are lives of persons with which has been changed for the better through some lucky huge win from gambling but the ratio to those winners is very low to those whose lives has been frustrated by same gambling because they failed to gambling within the ambit of responsible gambling. Isn't it ridiculous to think of picking a game of luck as a source of income? I feel only lazy people does that with gambling, because any hardworking man will always want to have something else doing as a job while he spare some little time to catch the gambling fun.
