Nigerian entrepreneur and business leader, Tayo Oyedeji, believes that many sport betting companies in Nigeria and elsewhere are enriching themselves at the expense of their mostly impoverished customers.
According to Oyedeji, companies like SportsPesa, Betway, Nairabet, and Bet9ja, etc, harvest millions of naira by encouraging people to predict the future which is impossible.
He then went further to argue that it is better to invest one’s money instead of placing it all in a bet. According to him, it is unreasonable for anybody to have the mindset that sports betting equates investment.
You can see Mr Oyedeji’s Twitter thread below:
The owners of SportsPesa, Betway, Ladbrokes, Nairabet, Bet9ja, BetKing etc make millions by selling poor people a pipe dream.
They harvest millions from sport fans who think they can predict the future. Nobody can.
Did you think Spurs would win at Ajax?
Invest, don't bet.

Save your money in a high yield savings account. Invest it in a money market fund once it’s big enough for the minimum investment threshold. You can invest in Stanbic Bank mutual fund with N5000 or Equity Bank with Ksh 1000 or FNB with R1000.
Don’t bet your life away. Invest.
The first question is: who suggested that BETTING is investment? It is gambling. A form of entertainment. Like putting your money on a roulette table. I’m sure you know that already but I guess this gets retweets.

Bottom line
The earnings forecast was made on the ground that the Nigerian economy will continue improve, as the country recovers from the impact of COVID-19. In this regard, revenue in the fourth quarter of 2021 will be slightly higher than the revenue projected in the third quarter of 2021.

However, the increase in the cost of sales driven by the input cost will pressure profitability to the tune of N148.10 million, which is 9% higher than the profit after tax made in the corresponding quarter of 2020.

Mr Tayo. You’re 100% right, via poor people to stop investing in betting. Practically the way things are going in Nigeria have a lot of people to believe in bet9ja. As a graduate No work, nothing nothing, bet seems to be an option. Mr Tayo, if you have a better way to invest or solution, please send me a [email protected]! Wish all nigerians will listen to you. Remain bless
