A Nigerian man has taken to social media to express deep regret after staking his entire school fees on a supposed “10 sure odds” sporting bet, only to lose everything.
In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), the distraught bettor revealed he paid ₦30,000 for a betting code and used his full tuition to place the bet, hoping for a life-changing win.
Instead, he returned to find the game had failed, prompting him to write: “Tell me one thing more heartbreaking than buying a code for ₦30k, staking your whole school fees on ’10 sure odds,’ only to come back and see ‘what is cashout?’”
The post quickly went viral, drawing reactions from many users who criticized his decision to gamble with such a critical expense.
Some commenters mocked the idea of paying for a supposed “sure game,” with one user stating that if the odds were truly certain, the seller would have staked it themselves.
Others warned against placing blind faith in betting tips, especially when it involves life essentials like tuition.
The incident adds to a growing number of cautionary tales about sports betting, particularly among students and young adults hoping to make quick money.
