A Nigerian youth is seen shedding tears after winning N200K on a sports betting platform, only to lose every penny back to the system without even buying a bottle of water to quench his thirst.
The video captures the teenager’s downward spiral after his initial win. Buoyed by the hope of bigger wins, he started with a staggering N40K stake, hoping to turn it into millions.
Unfortunately, luck was not on his side, and he lost the entire amount to the system. Undeterred, he continued to decrease his stakes to N10K at a time, gradually losing the entire N200K windfall.
