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.

An MSport Big Winner, Davou, has said the money he won from his 19-game-long football slip, will do a lot of things for him in his life and living condition.

Mr Davou, who won an estimated amount of 5 million Naira from a 1,000 Naira stake, noted that he will be using the money to complete a project he is overseeing on his land.

“I was very excited and happy. That money was going to do a lot for me and it was huge so I am very grateful.”

“I am going to be using it to complete a project on my land. I have a land that I want to do something on so I will be using the money to do that”, he said.

Mr Davou also stated that of all the betting options, he preferred the straight wins over the rest because their odds were bigger than the others like goals but he went on to note however that, in selecting his teams, he did not look at the odds but form.

“So with this particular slip, you can see it’s just straight wins. I don’t pay much attention to the odds really but I don’t like the other options like goals and the others because their odds are too small.

“But when I’m doing my home or away win, I just look at the teams and whether they can win. I had to focus and believe in what I was doing. You also look at the games and the teams that are performing.

“The ones that are in form, the teams that can win and I stick with that. Sometimes you can have doubts but you have to believe in the teams you’ve chosen”.

Asked whether he had ever won this huge on MSport, Mr Davou disclosed that he had never won this huge on MSport, noting that the closest he had come was 80,000 Naira.

“No I have never won this big on MSport, this is my first time. I won 80,000 some time ago but that was long, like three years ago.  But since then, yes this is my first time.”

Mr Davou went on to single out MSport for its painless withdrawal and depositing functions, going to admit that they were the reason why he preferred using MSport over the other betting companies.

“I like MSport over the other betting companies because they don’t give me problems with my money like when I’m withdrawing or depositing cash. Compared to the ones, I think MSport is the best in that regard and that is why I choose MSport”, he stated.

Mr Davou’s slip was a 19-match-long football slip that lasted from March 15th to March 18th and won him 5,950,210.13 Naira from a 1,000 Naira stake.

An MSport Customer, Justin, has won a staggering amount of 10, 207,698.81 Naira from a 1,000 Naira stake in a 19-match-long football bet that started on February 29th and ended on March 3rd.

Justin, who sat with MSport for its ‘Big Winner Corner’ interview, said his slip, which had options ranging from goal-goal, double chance, and straight wins, had no particular formula to it except maybe doing his due diligence to thoroughly examine the games and God.

“I don’t know, I don’t know what to say because I believe it was God who did it for me but I do a good game. I do work my brain to check everything, how they will play or I don’t know how God did it for me. It is God. No, I don’t have any formula to staking my bets”, he said.

Asked whether he has ever won this big on MSport, Justin said he had won a couple of other times but nothing close to this one.

“Of course, that should be, this is making 3 times. The other one is a cash out. That cash out is small money. Just some small money compared to this one”, he stated.

Justin, who didn’t feel comfortable sharing what he intended to use the money for, went on to thank MSport for the opportunity and expressed his gratitude for the win and the 10,000 Naira Voucher for the interview.

“I feel I don’t know, I feel great. I’m very happy. It’s unbelievable. I am very grateful to MSport for the win and the 10,000 Naira voucher for doing this interview”, he concluded.

Justin is the latest big winner to have been featured on the MSport Big Winner Corner segment after his 10 million Naira win.
