i'd disagree, i think gambling is very much a solo activity, there's a psychology in gambling where it's you trying to outsmart everyone real gamblers think they're better than the other gamblers anyway making friends would be good in one way, its a good way to humble yourself when you lose and someones there to see it

BBC and all whites take advantage of Africans 100% Documentaries like this are free to make. The people are not paid, but the tv is fully paid, the broadcasters own everything, the white journalists are paid, but the people aren't paid one penny. Probably Collins is paid in pennies too since he's local, not the same as the white journalists. This is whites do. Africans need to wake the fuck up and learn how much advantage they are taken of by whites. We as Africans need to eliminate corrupted leaders and work together as young people of Africa. The reason all these youth can't find jobs is becuase of outsiders interference in our system.

At a point my instincts tells me to keep hope in it and recover what I have lost but still I keep on losing. One night I decided to analysis it very well and I felt its damage to humanity and our society.

As a professional gambler i just want to leave my 2 cents: There are 2 ways you can go about gambling: doing it for money and doing it for fun. If you do it for fun, obviously you shouldnt depend on winning. Place a few dollar so you can enjoy the thrill of the game a little more; be happy if you win but dont miss your next rent if you lose (low stakes). If you are doing it for money, make sure you are actually making money. Dont depend on it before its actually profitable. And most importantly for both scenarios: Choose the right place to bet. Bookmakers tweak the orders in their favour and if you still manage to be profitable, they ll just ban you. Even if its just casual betting for fun, there is no need to get scammed by a bookmaker. Bet on exchange markets.

The virtual betting aspect is terrifying. No longer does a gambler need to wait for a live football match or wait for the outcome of the entire game. Another “product” by these syndicates to addict a generation.

[@clementobebi3127]

Yes especially here in Nigeria, Bayelsa State precisely I have seen somebody loss all most 200,000 k in virtual betting. Am also an addict in betting.

If we only we learnt to invest instead - study markets, study options, and see return.

THATS ALSO GAMBLING IN A WAY. THINK ABOUT IT. INVESTING INVOLVES TAKING RISKS

The majority of betting shops in the U.K are located in poor/working class areas where unemployment is high. People with little money will always be chasing a dream and a big win could help them with their dream. It's sad to see the exploitation of poor people by these companies

I believe what you saying man,I still believe in sport betting but you have to be strategic,and not want quick money.

Discipline yes but research lol. Keep dreaming unless u have an inside person in that betting company to rig the system or the game being played. The house always win either way. It's just sucker central living on pipe dreams.
