Originated in North America and other parts of Europe, sports betting is an activity of predicting results, particularly sports matches, and placing a wager on the results – which is also a form of gambling.

Football and other games are played almost everywhere on a daily basis in Europe and thus Nigerians can have a great opportunity to make money off betting.

The trend of sports betting on your favorite events is gaining fame among the youngsters aging 14 to 45, which really add to the emergence of gambling in the country. Football fans, who like to watch matches and support their teams are fond of predicting scores and match results.

Most Nigerian youth are Soccer fans. Mostly they bet on how many goals will be scored in an event, which club will score the final goal, or making predictions about whether the match is going to be a draw or there will be a winner out of the two.

Though, the traditional ways of sports betting were risky, Nigerian bettors have now found a way of making ends meet. Every day of the week, you can find millions of betting fans hooking up online and thus it has brought a boom in the betting industry.

Having a population of over 160 million people, nearly 60 million youngsters have channeled their focus into sports betting. There are a number of matches being played everyday in European and other nations, so bettors can make thousands if they know exactly where to start from.
