Man collapses after losing money to bet

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a man had collapsed after losing his money to a sports bet.

In a video shared on TikTok by @dejeysambo, the elderly man was seen lying on the floor and placing his hand on his chest.

Sambo claimed the man always creates a scene at the betting store whenever he plays games with N40,000 to N50,000.

According to Sambo, he would play the game and when it 'cuts', he would fake being unwell so he can escape from the store.
