The Gaming Commission of Ghana has finally responded with some force to the petition of a Ghanaian punter who won Ghc 57m in betting but has yet to be paid.
Theophilus Morgan won that gargantuan sum last year but since then, Safaribet has been tossing him up and down, refusing to pay the whole sum he won in the bet.
Theophilus Morgan, the Safaribet customer who won over Ghc 57m in betting but has yet to receive his winnings, has finally taken the company on in court.
Morgan has sued Safaribet and the Ghana Gaming Commission, seeking his full winnings to be paid to him, plus interest.
Last year, an amazing story went viral about a young man who won an incredible amount of Ghc 57m in sports betting with the company Safaribet.
Theophilus Morgan bet Ghc1 each on 220 betting slips with odds of 261,000. That meant each betting slip, if won, would earn Morgan Ghc 261,000.
Sports betting is currently one of the most lucrative businesses across the globe, and when we say lucrative we mean lucrative for the companies who run the betting and not the customers. Every single day around the world, millions more people lose their money to betting companies than those who win.
In fact if I’m being honest, I’ve placed bets myself countless times on numerous football games and the number of times I’ve won minuscule amounts of money far pale in comparison to the amounts of money I’ve lost to these companies.
