A former student of the University of Ghana has opened up on how his addiction to gambling, particularly sports betting has cost him thousands of cedis.
According to Supreme Petras Anaab Ali, he spent about ₵10,000 on betting in 2021 and reaped only ₵200.
He stated that after punting for eight years he had little show for it and decided to part ways with the venture two weeks ago.
“Last year, I spent almost ₵10,000 on betting and I won only ₵200. That was when I realised that betting was a way for the white man to cripple the African youth so that the youth wouldn’t have a better future.”
“Because per my calculations, if I am to combine the monies I have spent [on betting in eight years], it would be more than the GDP of Ghana,” he said.
I think government must step into this situation if it want a better future for the youth.
