My Journey Into The Cruel And Challenging World Of Sports Betting (3496 Views)

First and foremost, I'm not a good writer, so pardon any grammatical errors. Ok, with that clarification made let's begin our ride.

It all started in 2015 when I got introduced to sports betting by a colleague. Then bet9ja shops and churches were the most visible structures on any street in my state. I lost a huge amount of money on betting then. My colleague migrated to virtual, duped his brother's business partner for over 400k and he languished all the money on virtual. I wasn't comfortable with the concept of virtual betting as such, I never bothered attempting it to date.

I vowed never to visit any bet9ja shop again after I lost my 3 months salary to betting. My relatives and disciplined friends were all happy and so proud of me having stood by my words of never visiting a betting shop. Unknowing to them, I was secretly betting online using my PC. I never made any dime from betting throughout 2015 - 2016. All through the Night, I was busy placing OV/UN 3.5 bets on Brazilian leagues. After doing research on websites like Soccer Punter and Soccer Vista still, I was not making profits.


Around 2017/2018, there was this popular thread here on Nairaland called "The mast strategy." I later found out that this was just a martingale strategy. It involves chasing your losses. We were staking on 2 odds, and for every losing streak, you double your stake. I started with a 5k stake.


Things were going on smoothly initially until we had a terrible 5 losing streak. I lost a whopping 155k. I felt hot sperm gushing out of my penis. I almost walked into a moving truck that very day. The loud horn of the truck did some magic on my brain. It was as if I had a brain reset. The insults I received from onlookers and the driver of the truck that day were something else.

I fell into depression and was behaving abnormally. The 155k wasn't mine it was revenue money that I was collecting on behalf of an agency. They sacked their former employee because she was not being able. They picked me for the job because I was very able. When doing weekly audits with my boss then, I gave an of every single penny I spent, and most of them were very impressed. But after just 2 months on the job I have blown away over 155k. What do I do, I felt lost and perplexed.


Luckily for me, there was this guy working as a sales attendant in a fuel station. Although his boss is educated, he is somehow naive. His boss comes to the fuel station at around 11AM every day. The guy stole from his boss by resetting the meter, and all the sales he made from 7 - 9 are wiped from the sales history. I was his bank he had over 200k saved in my possession. So I quickly took that money from that safe and started my journey with sports betting again. But this time I wasn't just betting blindly. I was more focused on matched betting.


Although the guy was later caught and arrested, I spent 2 days in a police cell, which was my first arrest experience. It was a horrible experience in that cell. Eating watery beans in a smelly mosquito infested cubicle. Once you sleep and your arms rest on any of your senior inmates, you will receive a brain resetting knock on your head or a deafening slap on your ears. Watch out for part 2.

Episode 2:
Matched Betting

I was introduced to the concept of matched betting on an online forum, and I fell in love with it. Lots of foreign bookies accepted Nigerians then and our Naira debit cards were accepted virtually everywhere. Bookies like 88sport, BetVictor, Betfair, William Hill, Ladbrokes, Bethard, Unibet, bwin, and so many others had mouth watering sign up bonuses.

The only thing you needed to sign up on these platforms is either a driver's license or an international port. I quickly paid 35k and a driving school certificate was presented to me, even when I didn't know how to start a car, let alone driving it. In 3 weeks my driver's license was ready.


I started matched betting with around $96, and after a month, my profit was over $472, all thanks to the profits accumulator forum. Fast forward to 2018, most of these foreign bookies started exiting the Nigeria space.

Buhari and his bad luck crumbled my matched betting business. The naira debit cards were restricted from making international payments. My OG UBA visa card became virtually useless.

Even though there were other alternatives like Neteller and Skrill, the issue was depositing using these platforms meant you would not be entitled to any bonus. BetVictor had the most lucrative offers, then a 150% bonus with just 1 rollover requirement.


After much hassle, I resorted to milking Nigerian bookies using their sign up bonus. I took bet9ja and merrybet bonus using my sister's ID. I ended up losing 225k on these 2 betting sites. I took these bonuses without reading the T&C governing the bonus.

Some of the T&Cs required me to turn over the bonus and deposits 16x on bet9ja and 11x on merrybet. All my lay bets won as such funds on my Betfair were all transferred to my bet9ja and Merrybet s;

I couldn't meet the turnover requirements before the stipulated time. So they canceled all my bonuses and winnings. It felt like hell. Hard lessons learned: To date, I always make sure I read the T&C governing any bookie's bonuses before accepting them.


I fell back to normal betting, and since I had funds, I started paying tipsters, both local and international. I was hopping from one tipster to the other. From one so called fixed match to the other. I used betting gods, tipstrr, and a host of other tipster platforms, even here on Nairaland. Still, I didn't make any gains.


A tipster will have lots of winning streaks and lots of positive reviews prior to me subscribing. Once I subscribe everything takes a bad turn. It continued from 1 tipster to the other, so I became fed up and started doing analysis and reading stats myself. I paid for stats just to have a solid stats backed prediction. Still, I was losing even 1.05 odds.


I just couldn't stop betting because I felt there must be a way to beat these greedy bookies. And the mathematics of making huge wealth with sports betting was very easy and straightforward. Stake 200k on 2 odds and boom!! Your money is doubled. Or better still, roll over 1.05 odds, and in a month or less, you will be a millionaire.

It felt so easy to make millions from betting; it was tempting. As such, I never had that thought of quitting. I knew almost all the betting markets on bet9ja then.

Bet9ja was my favorite local bookie because the interface was nice and light just like Nairaland. You can access their home page even on an old Symbian phone without any display issue. Although they remain one of the laziest and most greedy Nigerian bookmakers. They are always scared of offering real Asian handicap markets, and their odds are very poor. To be continued

Around November 2018, I came across a thread here on Nairaland about arbitrage betting. Although I knew what arbitrage betting was, but I never tried it because I felt the profits were too small. But this guy was making around 5% profits daily, I then imagined compounding these profits. Oh, calculator, where art thou!!! I made a rough 8% daily compound interest calculation, and the profits were unbelievable.

So I quickly subscribed to the breaking-bet arbitrage scanner, A.K.A the low budget scanner. Their plans were very cheap then unlike betburger the OG scanner. They had daily, weekly, and monthly plans.

1Xbet was very popular around this period all thanks to their aggressive marketing. They were the only Curacao bookie then, with very little or no clones, unlike now. I used Merrybet, 1xbet, Naijabet, bet365naija, and Pinnacle.

The profits after a month of arbitrage betting were shocking and it felt too good to be true. I was making 10% profits daily. See me jumping up and down in my room. I felt on top of the world. My 1 year calculation of 10% profit compounded daily was unbelievable. So, I used an online compound interest calculator, but I was still in doubt. I had to print the output of the online calculator, placed it on my desk, and ticked each ing day I arbed.


I felt so happy every day I was on the CarMax website, scrolling through pictures and features of cars I would buy when I eventually made my imaginary millions from sports betting. Today I will consider 017 Corolla, and tomorrow, 015 Mercedes; I kept reading reviews of cars online when I didn't even know the cost of a tire. I was drawing imaginary building plans of the bungalow I intend to build from betting proceeds in my head; for once, everything felt so real and very close.


Finally, I felt I had cracked the code for sports betting, and now is the time to make millions, if not billions, from sports betting lol!!. I was counting my my eggs while they were yet to lay let alone hatched. I felt so motivated and delighted. To be continued...

Hmm. At least we can breathe a heavy sigh of relief. Too tired of hearing sob stories of punting.
There are principles guiding this shit. Once one fails to abide by them, you get your fingers badly burnt.

My 1 year calculation of 10% profit compounded daily was unbelievable. So, I used an online compound interest calculator, but I was still in doubt. I had to print the output of the online calculator, placed it on my desk, and ticked each ing day I arbed.

After a month and 2 weeks of arbing, I was hit with a rude awakening from 1xbet and bet365naija. First, the winning side of a 78K bet was voided by bet365naija with an excuse of palp error. That action took a huge blow on my profits.

Then 1xbet restricted my by reducing my odds. The odds are correct when I sign out but are wrong when I sign in. So I resorted to making driving licenses for others and using their IDs to create a 1xbet . I was losing s almost every day, with countless selfies for 1xbet verifications. I stopped using bet365naija and focused on 1xbet and other bookies. To be continued...

Episode 4:

I became a popular face in the licensing office in my location due to my always bringing people to process their licenses. It got to a point where there was no need for me to visit their office in person again; all I needed was to send a port photograph, and details of the person I intend making his/her driver's license. And Viola, the ID will be ready in a month or less. Once again I was back on track.


The number of arbitrage betting opportunities on 1xbet, Merrybet, Sportybet, and Nairabet was huge. My millionaire ship was still perfectly in shape until 1xbet confiscated my funds due to a mistake on my part.

After an was restricted out of carelessness and impatient to make my millions quick. I forgot to clear my browser cache and cookies or even change my IP. 1xbet fingerprinted me and asked if I knew any person named Austine (Imaginary name). Unfortunately, that was one of my other s. I vehemently said know, so they asked for my statements.

See me running from one computer business center to another, looking for an editing expert to remove the names of my slave s from the current slave statements. As God will have it I found an expert who did all the editing. Only for me to send the original statement to 1xbet .

Finally, village people are here, and they are about waking me up from my millionaire dream. In total, I lost over 727K scattered in 5 1xbet s. Their excuse was that I violated their multi-ing T&C. I was over 2M in profits just from arbing in less than a year thanks to compound interest. I took the hard lesson and continued my journey using 1xbet and her numerous clones.

Unknowing to me, these clones share s' data between themselves. 22Bet confiscated another 230k and voided another winning leg of a 100k arb. My millionaire ship was sinking at an alarming rate. I tried avoiding 1xbet and her countless clones, even though I still made profits, arbing opportunities were scarce and very poor. I felt using Nigerian bookies wasn't worth it. So I switched to international.


So I started a rescue operation for my millionaire sinking ship using bet365, Williamhill, BetVictor, and Betfair exchange. First I started with a popular strategy called lay the draw.

You lay the draw; once the favorite scores, you back that same draw for a guaranteed profit. Or you let the game roll for an even higher profit, or a huge loss if the game ends in a draw. For a short while this strategy was profitable but too risky for my liking. So I used another strategy called martingale lay OV/UN. To be continued...

Just swallowed my 7,500

One thing about betting is that it's a fast way to lose your money and the same time a fast way to double your money... (The later outcome though hard to realize)

Betting has 3 major rules that even till tomorrow I still foolishly break...

1. No game is 100% certain
2. Never stake what u cannot afford to lose
3. Never chase a lost or won ticket (I hope y'all understand this)

May be rule no 4...

You can't get rich over night and to make it in betting you must be patient and take it as an investment...

2-3 at most 4 selection per slip or ticket...

Again betting is for rich and not for the poor...

Episode 5,
Backing and Laying on an exchange, then a long break.


Lol like play like play na zeal word never ending movies oh.

So I started using the martingale OV/UN strategy. The strategy works like this. First, you lay OV 1.5G or O. 5G, and once a goal goes in. You add the liability of the previous bet to your target profit and lay OV 2.5 goals. Sometimes I won 2 bets in a row. In a month I doubled my bank role doing this. Hmm, finally, the ship has been rescued.

Everything was going smoothly until I think it was Liverpool or Many City/Barca flogged Man U 6 - 1. I lost both my previous profits and bankroll on that game. I needed $900+ to lay OV 7.5 Goals. Hot tears were pouring down my cheeks, my palms were sweating.


I wanted to commit suicide by jumping into the river. On getting into the river there were lots of swimmers on the river bank. So I felt if I should attempt suicide, I would be rescued, and my news would be all over the town, which could make matters even worse for me. I considered running into a moving truck at night, but something was telling me the pain would be very horrible if I eventually survived it. I was depressed for weeks.

I sold my car for 950k in 2019 and settled for scalping and laying favorites on the Betfair exchange. The strategy involved laying low odds. For instance, if I lay a 1.20 odds for $100. I will lose just $20 if my bet loses and gain $100 if my bet wins. And just as you know, low odds don't always win.


The longest losing streak I had on 1.20 odds was 13. I had the bankroll that could withstand such a long losing run; as such, I was in profit. Just as you know, nothing good lasts forever. In September/October of 2019, Betfair made an announcement that they were exiting the Nigeria space. And directed all Nigerian s to withdraw their funds with a 2 weeks ultimatum.

Alternatives like Matchbook were very low on volumes. See my world crashing again. I withdrew my funds and took a long break. After all, I already made profits that could carry me and my family for at least 18 months. I felt sober but life



In 2020, I took a long break from sports betting and focused on learning an IT skill; I enrolled in a social engineering course on Udemy. Although I was still betting, but it was just on an experimental basis. I read lots of articles and ed lots of smart betting forums. This really helped me in getting a deep understanding of how sports betting works.

Around 2022/2023, I was more focused on IT, so I started learning web development. My motivating factor then was money and nothing else as such I somehow felt bored. I was really demotivated when I saw people looking for 50k web development jobs.

I enrolled in the ALX programming course. And those guys made me fall in love with the Linux operating system and Vim editor. For once I was enjoying what I was doing. Working from the terminal was more fun and intuitive. Unlike never ending clicks on GUIs.

Coupled with my shit job, I felt the ALX course was too fast paced and made over 90% of us copy and paste experts. We were busy hunting past students' repos, on GitHub to copy from. So I had to quit but I owe my knowledge of the Unix OS, Vim, and Git/GitHub to ALX. Learning programming became easier, I later enjoyed programming in C, but I no dey play near pointer oh. Because it always pointed a gun at my brain. To be continued...

Final Episode
Finally it worked.

Fast forward to October 2023, I dumbed arbitrage betting and settled for value betting; even though value betting was not risk-free, I find it more profitable.

With arbing you are paying the vig price which means you are giving up a part of your profits for a non existing guaranteed profit. From Oct - Dec 2023, I made a total profit of $3720. I was very much ready to quit my job.

In January 2024 I submitted my resignation letter to focus on value betting full time. I was scared of what the future holds and happy for the time being. From Jan 2024 - May 2024 my profit was over $9K. This was way over my 6 years' salary combined. Finally, everything is working again. At the end of the EPL season, around June/July, I took 2 months break. And resumed in September. By December my total profit was over $38K.

January this year things took a drastic turn. All the profits quoted above were made using only bet365. I used only bet365 because the scanner I was using had lots of bets on bet365.

I was placing hundreds of value bets daily. So far I have placed over 20k bets and turned over $700k. And I started all these with just around $640 bankroll.

This year, I managed to make just $800 and lost over 16 bet365 s. Before now my minimum profit with 16 bet365 s should be around $6k. I have made $5k in profits on a single before. Then you could deposit $3k on an without issue, unlike now. Unfortunately, bet365 became brutal and harsh toward smart bettors most especially Nigerians.

They close my s even when I'm yet to place a bet. I even heard from some quarters that they are about to exit the Nigeria space, but I'm not sure. Some are even complaining that now you need an authenticator to place bets on bet365. Looking from where I'm coming from I feel so happy and fulfilled. Finally, my years of struggles were not in vain.

I am now more experienced and have sound knowledge of how sports betting works. Making money from sports betting is no longer the main issue for me now. Finding reliable bookies s like bet365, williamhill, BetVictor, Unibet, etc. is the main struggle now.

Although not giving up yet on bet365. Bet365 and 1xbet remain the most profitable bookies for smart bettors. They are very easy to beat. And The only difference between the 2 is one is reliable and responsible, the other (1xbet) is a crook and very dubious.


Forget all these tipsters littered all over the sports sections and elsewhere; if you are not matched betting, value betting, or using arbitrage, you can't make reasonable profits in the long run. You will only end up losing your hard earned money. Till this very moment, there is somebody I know who has been making over $4k+ monthly for over 5 years now. He does that using value betting.

Will I recommend sports betting to anybody? The answer is NO. I said no because the risk of deviating from your strategy and gambling carelessly is very high. You must be and always remain disciplined and trust the process. I have lost over $1k in just 2 days while value betting. But at the end of the month, my profit was over $3k.

Thank you all for reading my long Epistles; like I said earlier, no DMs, please. If you have any questions you are very free to ask. I'm still a learner when it comes to sports betting. Some professionals are making money from the most difficult sets of sharp bookies like Pinnacle and Exchanges.

Thank you all. For starters, 1xbet and her clones still have lots of opportunities for value betting or arbing. The catch is have it at the back of your mind that they can confiscate your funds any time, any day. As such never make a large deposits.

I created and verified a bet365 this morning. I deposited $600 while scrolling the home page looking for mug bets to place. My was banned and closed instantly. I withdrew the $600 without any turnover.

If it was a bookie like 1xbet sorry is my name. Because you must turn over your deposit at least once before you are allowed to withdraw. It's so painful that bet365 has no clones.

Matched betting is a strategy in which you use the bookie bonus offers to make a profit. Bookies normally give sign up bonuses and other types of bonuses. You extract profits from these bonuses using matched betting.

Value betting, on the other hand, is all about betting on overpriced odds. Take a coin toss for instance. In a fair world, the odds for the coin to land on its head or tail should be 2. You stake 100k you win back 100k. Now imagine if you are offered odds of 2.50 for the coin to land on its tail with every other thing being equal. You just got a whooping value for your 100k stake.

Tossing the coin just once may not make you any profit, but flipping it 100 - 200 times increases your chance of making profits, all thanks to the law of large numbers. Value betting is all about getting value for your money. Although it is not risk free, but long term profits is almost guaranteed.

You will only end up ruining your finances, betting houses are not charity organizations. Try what you advised and give us after a year.
