An MSport Nigeria customer, who also happens to be a student at the University of Calabar (UniCal), has said in an interview with MSport for its ‘Big Winner Corner’ after recently winning an estimated three million nine hundred naira (3,900,000 N) that he survived on odds.
“You know, like I said, I'm a student. I'm a student of UniCal. Okay, so mostly I survive on odds. My own is just let me have odds, then I'll survive. So, winning this money is something I've always been praying for.”
The UniCal student, who went by Sampson, staked 4,000 N on twenty-one (21) football matches from very unpopular and lesser-known leagues like the Spain Amateur Tercera Federacion Group 2, Austria Amateur Regionalliga West, Serbia Srpska Liga Belgrade, Serbia Srpska Liga Istok, Israel U19 Premier Division 1, Brazil U20 Carioca Serie A2.
He also decided to only stake on first-half under 0.5 to first-half under 2.5 goals and said when asked why he chose these particular market options that he realized that for most of these lower leagues, they did not score a lot of goals in their games and when they scored, most were in the 2nd half.
“Do you know that in most matches they score most goals in the second half? Do you notice such like that? So, now even Man City is playing with the least team like, let me say it like, let me use Bolton that they are in the second division, do you understand?”
Asked why he chose to ignore the top leagues like EPL, La Liga, Bundesliga etc in the first place, Sampson said he had learnt from experience after previously trying those leagues that because of the serious level of competition, it was very difficult to predict games.
“So why I decided to go with those particular teams was because, you know I’ve been placing bets like several times and I've noticed that once you are playing the most popular team, the most popular league that everybody knows,…
“…Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal, you end up, you end up at the end of the day, no matter how you construct the game, no matter how you study the game, no matter how you focus the game, you must always have a cut 1.”
“Like I just, I just wanted to, I just wanted to, I just wanted to picture something which I did and it worked out. So, I have to tell somebody not to play all these popular leagues. It's not as if it's not good, it's good, but you end up, you end up having issues. That is the truth.”
“So, now even if City is playing with the least team like Bolton, you notice that if Bolton have a little strength, their goal will not be much that first half because they still have that strength. Yeah. They will be defending. So, it is only in the second half that there will be much goal.”
Sampson also disclosed to MSport in the interview that while he had won thousands of Naira before on MSports, this was his first ever million.
“I’ve won big on MSport but not million. This is the first time I'm winning million on MSport. But I've won three hundred (300) and something thousand. I've won two hundred thousand (200,000). This is just the first time I'm winning a million.”
Sampson described the feeling of seeing his bet winnings in his MSport account as massive, disclosing that he and his friends went out to have fun with some of it later that day.
“That day I spent. I spent on some drinks and all of that. That day I spent just 100,000. It did not even, it did not even move everything, but the money is there intact. I'm not touching”, he stated.
Sampson’s NGN 3,935,568.29 win happened on September 8th from 21 football matches on MSport.

An MSport Customer, Daniel, who won six million naira (6M) on twenty-six (26) football matches with a 200 naira stake, has said in an interview with MSport for its Big Winner Corner, that “it was not magic but just luck”.
Mr Daniel, who decided to choose straight wins for all 26 matches except one game, said he did not take the time to do thorough research on all of them and their previous performances.
“I can simply say that there is no special thing about it. I’ve been trying my luck over time, over the period, trying to see if I can win, it’s not magic, just my luck.
“Like I said before, I’m just lucky. There is no special thing [about it]. Nothing made me choose the one that I chose, the double chance. It’s just my mind. My mind said to go with a double chance because these people might win or draw. I just take it like that.
“I don’t have a secret, I must tell you. I don’t even know much about the clubs and the teams that are playing. Most of the games I played, I didn’t even go to check their previous performances. I didn’t even check those ones. I just played out my luck and it just knack”, he stated.
Daniel further stated that this was not his first big win and that he had won a lesser but similarly huge amount like this one on MSport before.
“Yes, I have won on MSport before. I think that was sometime last year or the end of last year, I could be forgetting but I won like a million two hundred (1,200,000 N). It was not as big as this one though”.
Speaking about why he chooses to place his bets on MSport, Daniel noted that the MSport platform makes understanding the betting process very easy for him.
“The platform. I like MSport because it’s very simple. Easy for me, cuz I don’t know much about football but that MSport platform is very easy for me to understand the odds very well and to know how to think”, he said.
Daniel also disclosed that he planned to open his own shop with the money he won on MSport.
“I learnt the market, I learned how to trade in the shop, and I have learnt a lot but I don’t have money to start. That money entered my account that day, that very Wednesday and I sent it out. I used it to order goods to sell, so I’m expecting my goods to come”, he said.
Daniel staked the bet on July 24 and won it the same day on games ranging from the UEFA Champions League Qualifiers to the International Club Pre-Season Friendlies, and the Scottish League Cup games.
