My friend, i will answer you in a simple way since you seem like a religious simpleton.
Oh really!! When did you develop a brain??
Kasee whats the problem , why is it that you always have your facts/ ideas wrong now again
how does one compare betting /gambling to jobs people rise up to do …seriously???
Why not? Dont they share those character traits you introduced? So give us your so called facts/ideas but dont give us that evil/good religious bullshit. Not everyone goes to kanyaris. Read some more bwana NV
He is just a fool who thinks that he is an intellectual. It’s called aggressive stupidity.
from your replies , if this is the way you think and reason, my frend, you seem so irresponsible to be even left in-charge of your own life
You are going to remain a NV for a long time if you continue posting such nonsense. I advice you and that short brain supporting you to do some serious reading first then try to make meaningful contribution in this forum. Start by reading all my threads first. I can assure you you will be eternally enlightened in more than ten different topics by just reading my posts. Why? I post serious stuff that are well researched and informed. This matter of waiting for your pastor to tell you what is right or wrong, or waiting for your political god to show you direction will lead you nowhere.
mblasa by the way am an atheist
Hahaha…you are also funny…who has time to read all your horse shit? If what you post is what will “eternally enlighten me”, then I’ll pass. I am better off being in the dark than reading “stuff that are well researched and informed” that you are peddling.
Good for you. Anyway let me educate you a little on sports. You see sports are an expensive venture. To organise a soccer league for example takes money, and lots of it. Teams also need money for expenses like paying players, buy kit and equipment, travelling and accomodation etc.
Now teams/clubs are organisations that unlike a running business or company usually have no direct revenues from sales. Their income relies on there being a league/tournament to earn prize money as well as ticket income. Before they can get this income they need a sponsor and the existence of an organised league/tournament. Therefore the only other two ways of funding teams/clubs is through sponsorship by well wishers and businesses or government taxes. Usually, governments will not use your taxes to sponsor teams. They will use them to build sports infrastructure and fund administration of sports affairs through a ministry.
That leaves financing of sports leagues and teams mainly to private sector. Now, one of the most effective and modern ways to finance sports is sports betting. Essentially, take sportpesa for example. Currently they sponsor the premier league in kenya to the tune of over 360m over four years. Previous sponsor tusker sponsored for previous four years to the tune of 170m until that deal expired.
These amounts finance the organisation of the league such that every weekend we have our young talented players play and entertain you and me the fans. More importantly they get paid for it. Clubs also in the process get ticket income from spectators.
Now, sports betting companies make money by organising bets. Your losses are their income and that income is used to fund the sport as well as keep something for themselves . Besides that they also employ staff and pay taxes. Yes there might be a risk of some people developing problem gambling and addiction but just like cigarettes, alcohol, food or masturbation risk of addiction is everywhere and steps mitigation are necessary. In any case i’d rather be addicted to sports betting where i can make money than be addicted to cigarettes, caffeine or sex.
All in all, its good to enjoy a good game and make some money out of it as well. Remember unlike other forms of gambling that rely majorly on luck sports betting requires analysis of a sport and good knowledge of teams/players playing to determine the outcome of a sporting event. Therefore the argument that the house always wins is null and void here.
While simple minded njoki chege and pastors discourage you from betting on sports for whatever reason note that they simply do not help the sport in any way since however much you tithe your local pastor will most likely enrich himself rather than organise a sporting league. As for njoki she would rather you treat her to outings and shopping rather than have money in your betting account.
ndio maana nlisema you seem so irresponsible to be even left in-charge of your own life
And thats why you remain poor maishani. Simplistic approach to life with no deeper insight into how things work. Life is deeper than the one sentence posts you keep repeating. You have very little to offer the world and as such the world is unforgiving to joyriders. They live miserably and die poor my friend. Jiondoe kutoka minyororo ya mafikira ya maskini otherwise dont breed. Wataumia bure wajukuu
vile @Grundy alisema “He is just a fool who thinks that he is an intellectual. It’s called aggressive stupidity.”
