The 19 year old boy staked only N400, and with luck he won the N38 million and brought it home with joy.
But his father wasn't as happy as expected and referred to sports betting as something bad and he asked his son to quickly take the money back to wherever it came from.
A message from the boys brother was posted online in search for advice on how to handle the situation.
He lamented on the rent that was already due and how the father rejecting the money has caused a rift between his relationship with his wife.
Even tho the man has seen the bet slip, he has refused to accept the money and said that it should even be returned to the betting company.
The message from the boys brother reads:
“My 19yr old kid bro won 38M with 450 naira and my dad is insisting he returns the money because he doesn’t support gamb'ling despite explaining and showing him the slip, he’s still insisting. Our rent is due in two months, now it has caused issues between him and mum. Kindly advice.”
A woman later proceeds to share her experience on how sports betting has ruined her life.
The woman reveals a fact about betting that most youths fail to take into consideration, she said that she was introduced to betting by her male friend.
The lady also reveals that her friend who introduced her had N50,000 and she decided to use it to bet for the first time.
She has continued playing for 3 years since then and had confessed to have not won anything.
She advised that betting should be avoided by the youths and that it is very bad
