In his words:

"I played the game in Ido. I predicted 37 matches and staked N1,000. It brought N16,705,000. I was expecting the four remaining games on Sunday.

"When I took the tickets to the betting shop, they told me the winnings have been withdrawn and I protested. They persuaded their agent to pay my money and he sent N3 million to me after a court agreement. They did not pay me fully and told me to find those that withdrew the money initially.

"I do not have issues with those people but the bet9ja. I played a bet via their platform and predicted 37 games to win N16,705,000 in September 2023. I have not received any other money since then and I have evidence to prove it."

"If na u, u go gree make person use 1k collect ur 16m?"

Samsmooth_ reacted:

"The agent probably cashed out the ticket thinking the bet wouldn’t come through. The agent would then have kept the money they cashed out if the ticket had a blank, because the guy would have no idea it was cashed out. But unfortunately all the games came in miraculously."

"I will file a suit against bet Naija on his behalf Pro bono (free of charge). However, if I and my team recover the money he won. The money will be splitted into two. One part for him the other for me and my firm."
