'INVESTMENTS' IN THE NEXT LEVEL

By MAKACHE Kevin

Gambling has risen to another level as football betting goes hay wire due to the introduction of another way of placing their odds on specific matches. Despite the fact that many either win or lose more of cash from this form of investment, the gamblers have now designed a new way of making sure that their perpetrators also pay for the comrades’ investments, they have come up with a more advanced way of getting profits from betting. This comes in after it came out that the winners and losers can now get access to the so called fixed odds which are placed on certain matches being played.
This is where sportpesa investors are gadding about as they go online on different social medium to look for the fixed odds. As some people put it, betting is all about how lucky one is and so despite the fact that there are some matches with fixed odds, what determines whether you win or lose is how lucky you are on that particular day. This goes to an extent that the fixed odds are now being sold at different prices with expectations of the investors to earn large amounts of cash when they place them.
Truth be told, as far as it is concerned, sportpesa, elitebet, bet way and other betting sites are getting a lot of ’investments’ from us comrades with very few of us getting interests from our investments. The fixed odds have otherwise helped some lucky people who have actually gotten away thousands while others have lost their upkeeps in the game. Betting is now part of our livelihood and source of easy income that has taken root in our day to day activities making not only guys in campus to take part but also the ladies who seek boost income for their hair.
In addition to the fixed odds which are also referred to as sure bets, are giving us hard time as fans have turned from watching live games to following the scores on their phones to follow the matches proceedings instead of watching live matches. Concurrently, the sportpesa jackpot was on Sunday night won by two gentlemen who each walked away with ten million each, has given other ‘investors ‘ a challenge as they continue placing odds to grab a bonus. This happened to a first year student who got away with a bonus of four thousand shillings after getting 10/13 matches correct predictions.
However, gambling is more than a risk game which involves a lot of persevering in terms of losing sometimes. Comrades are warned that gambling is causing stress to many of us forcing them to take questioning decisions in life. For instance a comrade in Maseno University has deferred his course after staking his school fees and HELB fund in the game. Another student in Kabianga University College committed suicide after he lost heavily during the weekend matches. As much as we use the fixed odds in betting, let’s take precaution that not all of them ‘eat inside’ as we expect them to do.
