A situation occurred today in my locality, I have some guys working for me today and suddenly I hard them battling with an issues and when I get close to them to know what exactly the problem is, and I asked the guy who look strange to me since I am meeting him for the first time and not a worker on the site what his business and why he is distracting the workers from work.
Then the guy narrated his case to be and he said, that one of the workers came to his betting shop the yesterday to play some visual, that at first the guy came with ₦1,000 in my local currency to make the bets and along the line, he existed the balance but as a regular customer, the agent decided to allow him at further on credits and in all he accumulated a total debt of ₦8,000 because he lost all the bets and since that yesterday he has been on the run from the gambling agent until he traced him to the site today.
So when I wanted to judge the case and possible settlement, I query the casino agent how can you allow a customer to gamble on credit to the tune of 8k Knowing fully well that the gambler only has a 1k balance which already existed?
Also what is the probability that the gambler will ever return after owning such debt in the betting shops, note the gambler's daily pay is 2k as a helper on the site, so he has to work for 4 days to be able to meet that debt that is if he doesn't make any other expenses.
Question is:
What is the possibility of the betting agent getting his money soon/considering the gambler's low-income earnings?
Same thing happened in the Area I leave, a young lad went to gambling shop to bet a same visuals and exceeded his budget but instead of quiting decide to play more and the agents at the shop allowed him play cause he's a regular customer and they thought he'll be able to comply like he normally does just for the agents to figure out In an hour time that's he's stolen another customers cell phone and when questioned why he stole the phone his excise was that he did that to settle his debt In the shop.
My annoyance is with this agents for allowing customer to play free games without any collateral most times this customers might be friends of the agents, so they forget that theirs no friends when it comes to business hence you'll lose your profits due to customers patronising you on credit. And as a gambler it's wise to make a budget before gambling and do not exceed the limit of that budget. Both the agent and customer are wrong but I'll blame the agent more for joking with his/her business.
