Samuel(not real name) was an avid
Chelsea fan... He was also a regular at
the Nairabet sports betting shop 2
streets away from his house.
Samuel had no job. He had just been
recently laid off by the bank he was
working with. He was doing quite well
for himself before he was sacked. He
had afterall bought a car a couple
months back.
But the sacking came as a surprise to
him and he had only a little cash
saved up.
He was desperate to make some
money.
His friend, Akin always came around his
house bragging of how he kept on
winning Nairabet virtual games at the
betting shop. Samuel was suddenly
keen on learning about this stuff that
akin was always playing and
supposedly winning.
Samuel: "Guy how far now, Na only you
wan dey win this thing wey u dey
play, teach me now"
Akin: "Ah, You nor say u nor be street
man now, Na corporate man you be"
Samuel: "Guy forget that thing. Abi you
don forget say them don sack me?
Yarn me tori jor"
Akin: "Ok, no wahala. I go carry go the
place this evening make you play
one sure game wey i get. You go hold
like N500 naira ooo"
Samuel: "That one na small thing na,
Suffer i win money. I really need cash
badly"
Not long after, He had gotten a hang of
how it all worked. Soon he was a
regular at the betting shop.
Day in, Day out. Samuel would stroll into
the Nairabet betting shop with
sometimes N5,000. Sometimes N3,000
but never below N1,000.
He would play virtual football games on
the big screen on the shop with his
friend, Akin by his side directing him on
what games to bet. He would
mostly accumulate about 6 draws, a
couple home or away win games.
His friend, Akin was always bragging
about how he would soon strike gold
and win millions off nairabet. But
days...weeks...months passed by and
Samuel had not won anything tangible.
He always left the betting shop with
all the cash he came with.
One game or two always kept
''cutting" his ticket.
He was becoming increasingly
frustrated. He kept cursing "Alabi" (as
we all
sometimes do... lol) after each of his bet
lost.
He vowed to 'wreck' Nairabet soon. But
he was running out of time. His
little savings was fast depleting and he
had no other source of income.
Then something dramatic happened
one day...
to be continued...
P.S. Hey man, My hands are tired from
typing... lol. But do not worry, I'd
complete the story later in the evening probably night.
