The advent of sports betting shops in the country have become a source of worry to operators of match-viewing centres and agents of pools houses, writes Idris Adesina
“This Arsenal team are capable of making someone hypertensive. They are a very unreliable club,” an Arsenal fan shouted in a football betting shop in Ojuelegba, Lagos.
This was after Arsenal lost 2-1 to Manchester United in the English Premier League. It should have been just like any other EPL result but the Gunners’ fan was irritated because he had staked a bet on his favourite team, hoping that they would play a draw against the visiting Manchester United.
Even though he lost the stake, he still had a consolation, as his bet of a first half draw earned him some money.
