6 Reasons Nigerian Youths Engage In Sports Betting

Well, be as it may, Nigerians have taken solace in
sport betting. It’s now a new normal in Nigeria to see
young people, especially, on the streets and queues
struggling their way to place their bets on the five
major leagues in world football.
The English premier league, Spanish Primera la Liga,
Italian Serie A, German Bundesliga and the French
league. Other minor leagues are also not excluded. In
short, Nigerian youths have seen sport betting as
another way to make put food on their table.
Why do many Nigerian youths engage in Sports betting?
Here are the reasons why.
1. Unemployment: The high rate of unemployment in
Nigeria has been responsible for the wild spread of
sport betting in Nigeria, with so many youths pouring
their money into it to get returns on investment. It is a
two-way thing; others may have lost out but a lot of
them have made huge cash. And it has put food on the
tables of many as well.
2. Influence: Sports betting is pervasive such that it is
viewed in Nigerian society as ‘normal thing – ‘almost
every body around you is involved and this serve as a
ready influence.
3. Love of Sports: The love of sports by many Nigerian
youths is also the reasons behind sport betting.
Nigerians are sport lovers.
4. More engagement in sports: Besides the money a lot
of people make from sport bettings, it has also polished
their engagement in sports, in that they keep close tabs
on games that they have staked on.
5. Economic Condition: The economic condition has
given way to why many Nigerian youths engage in
sports betting. The environment is not safe for
businesses. Some don’t even have such enough huge
capital to start up. They rather go for sport bettings-
that they don’t have to to spend much on.
6. It is a Pot of Gold: Access to fast, risk free cash is
one of the reasons many people engage in sports
betting. It is stress free, and direct access to cash.
Greed also comes into play. It could be tagged as a
‘business’ that you invest with as little as N50 to win
as much as any amount, if the predictions are correct.
Who wouldn’t be enticed with such bait?
