This sum is the largest ever recorded Sports bet win in Nigeria. The sexagenarian accomplished this feat staking only N800 ($4) in two different stakes of N500 and N300 raking in N36,840,971.25 and N22,104,582.75 respectively. Speaking on how he made it, he said, “Since my childhood days, I used to have strong interests in probability, relationships and special intelligence. All these with adequate sports betting research I conducted over the years helped in making it possible”.
