Man claims betting destroyed his life
In an exclusive interview with famous Ghanaian blogger Zionfelix, the young man hid his identity under a bucket hat and a face mask.
Sharing how sports betting destroyed his life, he said that he was addicted to the extent that anytime his mother sent him money from abroad to Ghana, he would immediately stake it.
Sighting an example, he said if his mother sent him GH¢2,000, he would stake GH¢1,500, adding that he does not factor in bills and other basic amenities.
"As I am speaking, I am unemployed. I do not have a university degree, just a high school certificate," he said.
He stated that he deals in petty trade by shopping for people and earning a profit. However, whenever his clients made payments, he used the funds to stake a bet.
He also revealed how he squandered $4,000 (GH¢47,995.76 per the current exchange rate), which was his visa fee meant for him to travel abroad.
