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

Let's do away with the religious matters and any affairs related because if he were to be that of devoted religious man he wouldn't have gamble, to an extent some termed gambling a sin, but in real life we gambling for so many reasons, one is to catch fun, make money and avoid boredomness, there are certain things we do in life that if by any religious beliefs its forbidden, but your religion as well will not be responsible for your good or wayward life at the end.
Yeah exactly i didn't say the opposite too. But mixing between religious matters and gambling is like trying to edit or correct the religion rules which in islam says it's gabling is a strict sin. Gambling indeed can be fun and also a lot of pain for addicts i understand why in religious rules they forbid it. But for me personally i gamble and i have fun and i know always my limits. But not to gamble and pray (doing salat) that's totally a wring thing and a complications things
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.

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
Maybe he is praying to be grateful for his big win in getting a lot of money. And even though he already knows that gambling is forbidden in Islam, maybe he doesn't think he can win the bet so he places the bet to have fun.

It was a parlay bet, so I think the bet isn't just for fun but to win a huge amount of money.  We know a simple Sportsbet won't generate such huge winnings.  Ever heard of or seen any single bet on sports betting odds that can generate $51k  from $1 bet?  I haven't heard or read anything but parlay bet.

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.

Lands and other real estate investment are not the main investment these days, and most investment analysts are now advising against real estate and other landed properties but

So what is the main investment today?  Real Estate had been proven it worth as an investment, it is already time-tested.  Investing in a high-volatility asset is like gambling your money away.  It will eat up your investment any time.

if you invest such huge winning into a volatile asset, the possibility of gaining much more in a short term is high.

Or you could have lost your investment in a very short time.  Investment isn't always a 100% profit. More often than not, people who invest in a highly volatile asset end up getting rekt.

He can keep his dollars safe in crypto.  There are many ways to keep Hughes dollar safe in crypto like he can buy a hardware wallet to keep his dollars safe in stable coins or since bitcoin is now much deeper than ATH he can buy more than 2 bitcoins with his money now and if bitcoin price goes back to previous ATH price  If equal then he will get 3x return of his money  Which is a potential investment

The problem is to move those huge amounts of money on a 3rd world country, I don't think its easy to buy 2 bitcoins, for sure that would wake up the Bank and the Police Alarms.

And with that money for sure he can do big things in that country, even buy a new house or have a nice back up to support his family for the next years. I feel like investing all in Bitcoin is the last option of what to do with that money in that country.
It seems you are right in your assumption. If he invests his money in things like land or house, it will be a strong asset and will provide a strong support to him and his future generations. Every country is constantly growing in population but no country is growing in terms of size so as time goes on the price of strong assets like land will increase. that is the benefit of buying house or land
Lands and other real estate investment are not the main investment these days, and most investment analysts are now advising against real estate and other landed properties but if you invest such huge winning into a volatile asset, the possibility of gaining much more in a short term is high.
You don't seem to be a good investor and are definitely not in my country because I was so surprised to read from you that land and real estate investment are no more lucrative. As much as I don't know the part of the world you are in, I still doubt it unless it is the time of war or the land and properties you bought are prone to flood and other natural disasters.

If not, real estate will always be booming all over the world, they are the best in using to beg your money from depreciating in your bank account if you can't invest it in the USD that is somewhat reliable in the long run. This investment gives a good return and is safer than the volatile investment you referred to which could make you get totally broke if care is not taken.

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...
Sports betting has indeed become one of the types of bets that many people enjoy, I'm not surprised if the Nigerian man placed a bet of up to $1,072, yes he is a lucky man in sports betting.

I admit that gambling can make you rich in minutes and vice versa someone who bets can lose everything in minutes too, what you say is true before placing a large number of gambling bets, choosing and assessing the sports betting site that is responsible for our wins is very important.

Of course what you say is part of life, people with lots of money always come, I prefer to win gambling silently without telling anyone, including family and close people, I prefer to be considered an ordinary human who is not excessive in showing off wealth.

Yeah, even I have heard that muslims are not allowed to gamble in a casino and it is against their religious acts.
At the same time it's not like everyone follows their religion whole heartedly.
This person has won such a great bet but it won't be worth if he spends them all.
What he does with the money he won is what will derive his destiny.

I like landed properties but then there are no contemporary way of investing this day.
I am still not clear what you mean by other investment but maybe you are thinking of investment in cryptocurrency it may give a huge profit at short time but it has a high risk so if he invest in land or house property here risk is less to lossing investment and it may have very slow gains but the potential for losses is very low . So since he has won a big prize depending on his luck, his real job is to protect them

The most important thing is that fortune always favors the brave. Because he gambled hoping to win but he won because of his good luck. But I think he got lucky like jackpot because of which he got huge sum of money in one go which will enable him to live according to his needs in later life.But in gambling he won the game because his luck helped him and he was experienced.

I wonder what would be the punishment of the guy if the religous leader found out that the person is engaging in gambling activity.  Aside from that, most of the government under an Islamic religion deemed gambling as illegal, iis it also possible that the guy will be facing criminal charges?

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

It is indeed a great win that can possibly cause his freedom if the guy is charged of illegal activities.  It is also possible for the authority to use the existing law to rob this guy of his winnings.  Now I feel sorry for this guy for the possible legal cases and religious punishment.

I read some article that Muslim caught engaging in gambling is punished by being caned.  I don't know if this practice still exist.

Quote
In 2005, in the Indonesian province of Aceh, fifteen men were caned in front of the mosque for gambling. This was done publicly so all could see and fear. Eleven others are scheduled to undergo the same penalty for gambling.

The man who won such a large amount was a Muslim.  That man was very lucky indeed.He was overjoyed and thanked Allah.What is the destiny of every human being has been pre-ordained by God.His fortune was very good indeed.Because of which he won $51000 with just $1.07.  And maybe that guy won the jackpot.
But does the religion he has allows people to gamble? sorry but I am not that familiar about the teachings of Islam .

though it is indeed that this is how we wanted to thank our God giving us this chance to earn big.

I definitely agree with OP with this. You should protect your winnings to yourself and maybe friends and maybe the closest friends at max. People should never know you are making money through that kind of thing. Job is one thing, labor is holy, I think it must be favored to mention. But gambling wins should never be mentioned. If I won lottery I would literally talk to noone about it except my mum and my very close friend in my city.
~`
there are people who invest less - and get more in return and then there are people who are lucky enough to bet with a small amount and get a huge profit in return but there are very few people who can hold their money properly and can get good use of it.
Yes and if given a chance? I will never do the same thing mate, instead I would love to keep my funds safe and secure by using to more appropriate way than celebrating.

I never tried winning such big, but at least I can handle my funds that is securely given to me for how many times now.

Yeah, it's a huge win.

And I do agree that if you win big, you just need to shut up and don't tell anyone, I have read a lot of news of people winning lottery and telling the whole neighbourhood that the next day people are lining up to his house to ask for help and monetary assistance. i mean it's not that bad to help others but what if you can't help them all? And then there are relatives that you suddenly shows up to your door as well for money. And again, you can't please everyone, at certain point there will be people that are going to be envious of you.
That could be possible reasons too why we should never publicized our huge amount of money won. Also, if all people will be aware about your story, then scammers will never let it slip without having something to do. So you’ll probably become their new target, and if they succeed on it, you might fall as their victim which means everything you have will already be in their possessions. The reason why as much as we can, learn to celebrate our winnings secretly to keep us safe from dangerous people.

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.

The man does sports betting on multibet, judging from the number of bets and also the prizes he gets can be imagined how many bets he chooses at the same time and that's all his options won, that are not easy things very rarely obtained.
Perhaps he wanted to be grateful that God gave him victory even in activities forbidden in his religion.

For us who do really mind off about on how to utilize those winning amounts well then we would really be thinking on buying lands or assets which we can definitely able to buy but of course dont expect something

big or lots of things you could buy since 50k isnt really that too big for you to consider but its not really that bad on ensuring yourself on having some assets which would really be useful on making yourself on having

other source of income possibly.Its true that we dont really have the full rights on telling people on what they should gonna do with their money.Speaking about winning chance then
there's always a chance on winning even on the smallest odd but we know on how much extreme luck would really be needed.
