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?
They're both a fault but I'll blame the betting agent mostly for going against his employers policy and doing something that would make him lose his job, there's a saying that there's no friend in business, talk more of joking with a business that's not yours, it's very wrong or would I say that's so foolish to him and he's lucky his employer was not aware of such a careless act, what I expected from the betting agent is for him to request for a collateral like depositing his valuable item before betting for free, but then he didn't do that neither did he ask for the address or details of the gambler nor ask for his field of occupation to know if he'll be capable of paying his debt, it's very wrong and his actions would had cost him his job.
The best thing I think they should do is to invlove higher authorities that's would make him sign an agreement concerning when he'll be able to clear his debt or bargain with the site manager to make sure he not the 2k daily pay he receives until the debt is cleared
