Brotherhood is love
I watched the video and I was impressed with the way he first went to perform salat the moment he realized the last game went as he predicted. What I have understood with gambling and religion by African countries is different from the way Arabs that spread the religion to them. Despite when Islam forbid gambling, they do their thing and used the money to take care of their self and personally, I don’t see why it is forbidden because I don’t view as if they are taking someone’s money. It’s a condition that must be met with a risk and once it is met, you will take your money freely but what do I know. I’m happy for that boy, this kind of win games are actually rare and I hope he use the money for good.
Well I'm not really judging anyone. After all everyone is free but on islam gambling is forbiden with all its games and ways small amount or big amount and wather you did salat or not in fact you will get more judges if you do it in name of allah. Because that's will be lying and trying to cover that. At the same time we can't lie to ourselves that gambling has more bad things than good things. First most of people are losing their money. Gambling is so harmful in many ways that destroys good people and lead to addiction. Destroys families after wasting much money on it and can lead to other serious issues like alchol and drugs. You may say it's just for some people i will say we are all just taking a risk.
I don't know what you mean by salat. Is it the act of tithe payment? That means after the lucky gambler won the gamble he proceeded to the mosque to pay tithe. If Islam forbids gambling, that means they will not recieve the tithe that will be paid. If they do it will be total blasphemy in thr part of Islam and also in the part of the gambler. So many religions don't support gambling but their faithfuls end up gambling against what the religion teaches them.

In some parts of the world $50k means nothing. So whether you talk about your winnings or not make no difference. If that Nigerian man still lives in Africa, then yes he should keep his mouth shut because African countries are not the richest countries in the world and the crime rate in those countries are pretty terrible. In the US though, many people make $50k in 6-7 months it is not a big deal at all. Nobody will care or murder you for that money.
What have had made the man to let the man to talk about is victory could be too much excitement,  who knows how long he has been playing gambling but couldn't not win. Sometimes too much excitement can make one to over react,  expecially when the money is too big for some people to afford.
but the way he celebrated? it looks like he is truly very happy about that win and don't know if how much he had lost before winning this.

but truly this is an expensive celebration that he should have considered controlling , life does not stops here  instead there are so much in future to face

I know a guy whonhave his life turn around with just one ticketbandbthis change everything about him, for security and privacy sake he relocated to another region and also hard his family relocate with him. Some gambers can be very lucky bit not always .
Gambling is like investing in cryptocurrency anyone who is doing both supposed to know that they are kind of things that work with luck, because these things does not work ordinarily to somebody so you must have the luck I did not everybody has you said that is opportune to have such luck to win a bet that will change it life and make it to do what is an expected two people to do so gambling is good to do but it's not at any point or being addicted into it
I think it's different because gambling will give you losses and can be overwhelming if we don't realize when it's time to stop. While investing in cryptocurrencies is not a gamble because if you choose the right project, you will not experience a loss and can even turn a losing position into a profit if the market reverses direction. And investing in cryptocurrencies is not just a matter of luck but an analysis behind that investment. And the guy was very lucky to get a big prize using only $1.
and there are fewer losing chance than Winning .

Investing is always a game of Mind and strategy while in gambling is a combination of strategy and LUCK.


these differentiate  the two.


and I I am to choose? I will keep in investing and will gamble in lesser chance.


Just remember the magic quote , and that is to "Invest or Gamble the amount you can lose"

Look at the man here, all the bets placed on that day did not cut, all enter and he was in the football hall watching match when he checked his phone and saw the bets slip and he jumped up in the hall and show the games to his friends and all of them jubilated with him. see the crowd the guy pulled that day.

That is why gambling is not all about how much one used. This boy just used $1 to win this huge amount. Gambling is all about luck, when the luck fall on you that day, then your day is blessed and you go home with shining face and smiling face. If you see the girls that rushed this guy that day, you won't believed, And funniest part of it was that the boy's Master (his Oga), said the boy should give him 8 millions or of the 38ms
Luck will come to those who deserves this, Imagine how many of us has this opportunity ? this is at least once i every million?? meaning that we will be eager to win but will not come.

so congrats to those who keeps winning while we are mostly losing  Grin Grin

the objective here mate is His safety and His funds , becuase we will only win once like this and we must secure the funds and keep it safer for long term using.
It is called right decision at the right time - backed by the luck
This man is so lucky to have gained such a huge success - this happens to a very few people - congrats to him may he spend wisely
Lol even how you decide in gambling but luck will not be close to you , never that will come your way , even experienced gamblers fails because they think it is the right decision and right timing but never that have a luck.

The funny thing of the story is that guy celebrated his win by salat because he is religious and a muslim, the problem is islam forbids betting or gambling on anyway (strict rules in islam) just like ignoring that and doing something bad in islam’s principes. Anyway this guy is really lucky to win such a prise  with a very small amount he risked, it’s a very good odd though and also im wondering  which game  did he play or bet on

Its not a subject I would debate too long as its ultimately upto the individual, like Christianity and the majority of other faiths there are varying interpretations of the main body to that belief system.  Some places its considered ok and some it would be illegal but I think everywhere excessive gambling with no control that leads to ruin is always considered a total negative to be avoided like many other activities that can turn negative if overdone.
  This man took a small risk, I believe thats the correct way to do it just an idle interest where he hope to guess correct on a small amount risked regardless of religion thats probably the best way to play a game.

I agree it's a lowsrisk, and he's trying his luck. Habitual betting or being addicted to it is a different thing. He is extremely lucky to won that huge amount of money. Regardless of religious affiliations, I think excessive or becoming addicted to gambling is bad. As long it did not affect his finances and life style, I think it is understandable.

Christians also do not like gambling, if a Christian plays bet is like the person has backslide from his faith. And other Christ would see the person who gamble as person that is not yet born again.

There is no betting but buying raffle tickets is allowed  Grin  

And as the guy who won the odd. I believed the amount he  won might convert some Muslims to test betting. Truthfully it is not good for a strong believer of a particular religion to play gambling. Because is bad , when you are addited to gambling, and do have any to gamble again in the process of gambling, you might used your wife, children or other house properties that are valuable bro you as gambling. And that is bad.

A true strong believer will never ever break the code and rules of his religion.  Those who don't follow their religious doctrine or always do things that is not allowed in their doctrine is a half-baked believer and is there just to meet the need to belong.  

the objective here mate is His safety and His funds , becuase we will only win once like this and we must secure the funds and keep it safer for long term using.

I agree, the main topic is about keeping a low profile when a huge amount of money is won.  Keeping it secret will save us from all annoying and dangerous things.  Just read the article, you can see how annoying it is when everyone in your surrounding keeps following you everywhere you go because you had won a huge amount of money.  I think the only benefit is being popular among girls since the guy had been followed by ladies when the news about his winnings spreads  Grin

Bitcoin is GOD
Last week, on the 14th of October, 2022, A Nigerian Man used 800 naira (which is equivalent to $1.072 in today's NGN/DOLLAR exchange rate) to bet on sports...

He later won a whopping 38,317,137 Nigerian naira (which is equivalent to $51,363.454 in today's NGN/DOLLAR exchange rate).

         ....How luckier can one get?😁😁😁


NOW, HERE IS MY REASON FOR MAKING THIS THREAD..
The book of proverbs(from the Bible) says "A prudent(wise) man knows when to keep his mouth shut and when to speak"

Don't you all think that in the course of we trying to show off this kind of winnings to friends, families, colleagues etc, we end up drawing known and unknown enemies to ourselves?

The heart of man is desperately wicked, Man destroy and kill his fellow man out of envy and jealousy, they celebrate your success with you in your front, but when you are not there, they device means to bring you down, or even kill you.

I think people should learn to keep their success stories away from physical people, because as they joy and praise you physically, secretly, they might not be as much happy as they appear physically.

If I am eager to share my success story, I prefer to do it online where no body knows me In person, like this forum, doing this offline with family, friends, colleagues, etc.. I think is too risky.

What is or are your opinion(s) on this matter?
While I agree that we need to be incredibly discreet when it comes to money and the persons we reveal this information, unfortunately this is something very rare to see in this age.

People are instead encouraged to share everything they do online so they can get their 15 minutes of fame, and as we know people are willing to do everything to get it, not understanding that by doing this they are exposing themselves to a massive amount of risk as they have put a big target on their backs by revealing how much money they have earned.

I'm surprised to read that he is a Muslim I guess he is not a devout one because as I know gambling is forbidden in Islam he will set himself as a bad example for letting people know that he win big and even goes to pray in their Mosque to pray, he should have kept it to himself, his life will be complicated because of this and he will need to explain his action besides putting himself to gossip and in danger as well.
Indeed. If you're a devoted person you'll follow your religion's belief and will refrain to commit something against it. On the other side, if he kept it secret to other people then he will be out of something unfortunate that might happen. But obviously he failed to do so. I think it's understandable because of the emotion he felt after knowing the result.

What would be the consequence if you're a muslim then you gamble knowing it's prohibited in your religion? In our religion, if you do not abide on the set rules, they will remove you (also called as explulsion) as a member.

So turns out that he had violated something in religious aspect.?Doesnt matter though since its their problem but having winnings then
someone should mind about his anonymity because its really a safety hazard.

True, the guy or guy's friend who knows about the winning should have kept their mouth shut.  The human heart is envious and greedy, so the situation where the identity of the winner is exposed to his surroundings brings danger to the winner.
But there are really some situations which it cant really be that avoided where identification would be heard upon considering that there would really be sayings around that you are the winner or something that

they could eventually able to notice out when you are buying something which you hadnt be able to buy before or simply they are seeing that you are already living on a life which much better than before.
Its impossible that your neighbors wont able to notice it but somehow they do really just ending up on observation and speculation or presumptions and it would be always
better that you should really make yourself that being not too tactful when it comes or related to these stuffs.

Well, i must say that anybody in the shoes of this lucky man would have done same, so personally, i am not going to judge him, i am a Christian but i know that gambling is a sin in Islam, the action is the man after seeing his winning ( that is going to the mosque to pray) is already a clear indication that he is not a true islamist who keeps the law..
Its just like a Christian who does not go to church but do know that there is a God somewhere, and the day something really good happens to them, you see them run to the church to give thanks to God, not out of genuiness of heart but out of overwhelming joy ..
So its clearly understandable to me.

For my part, I don't think the guy is a sinner because there is nothing in the original scripture (written by prophets and disciples) that states gambling is a sin.  All those gambling is a sin statement is just a derivation of the religious leaders out of their own interpretation.

But in the end, this guy won and was indeed very lucky. And hopefully, he doesn't try to gamble again because of the strict prohibition in his religion. And surely now he could buy what he wanted with that winning money.

I guess he will continue to gamble.  He already tasted the sweet flavor of victory and I am sure he won't forget about it and will try to duplicate the winnings.  It is hard for a human to be contented.  We always aim for more after hitting the target.
That is the temptation of gambling that a person will obtain if he manages to win a lot of money. And if he can't stop himself from playing gambling again, he won't be affected by his winnings but he will try to always restrain himself by doing other activities that make him not think about gambling. But it took more effort to avoid the urge to gamble and even though he could have won a lot of money before, he wouldn't be tempted. We must continue to learn to resist the temptations given by gambling so that we will not think of pursuing another win.

I did not think that it was so delicate, when he talks to me about those religions I have a lot of respect for them, more because I have not read what they are like, but I know they are very radical, but if it is as you say, I think he will then receive a punishment for break their religion, and from what you can see it's a slot machine but they don't specify which one it is? as it was and did not show any video, some people are not interested in anonymity and do not mind sharing their photos or something similar, but what I have seen is that many casino players do not even care about that, and that must be something very important, because it is very easy for thieves to look for them.

If religion aspect had been touched then its up to someone whether he would really be recognizing on whats prohibited and tend to avoid or would just simply ignore and would continue on what he do really likes to do.
Turns out this guy to be an Islam
According to the Quran, Muslims are forbidden to gamble. However, there are casinos in countries where Islam is the predominant religion, and there are numerous other countries throughout the world with casinos that focus their marketing strategies on attracting gamers from Muslim-majority countries.
