So in weekends in my departmental WhatsApp group, we just randomly talk about soccer bets and sometimes drop a particular game and keep it open for correct score prediction to be made on it, and the first person with the correct score goes home with a data subscription, this has been going on for almost two years now and people have gotten used to it without knowing it.
This is one of the chat I just bumped into by one of us in the group chat and at this point I feel most of my friend have made it compulsory to always gamble every weekend.

Do you see this as addiction or just catching of fun?
Mind you, we just enjoy the moment and might just joke around with people making predictions based on the teams, they love but we are mostly gamblers at our different ends.
I think this is nothing but a meme that pokes fun at how you guys have been at this gig for years now with little to no end in sight. Plus I personally wouldn't be this stoked even if I'm addicted to gambling for cellphone load, unless that thing's crazy expensive from where you guys live.In any case, as someone well-versed in the meme culture of gambling addiction memes I say this is nothing but sarcasm. He's most definitely seeing the hilarity in the setup you guys have and is either sending this to give you guys a little slap in the face to inform you you've been going at it for a while now and perhaps it's due time you guys stop this gig, or he could just be outright trolling to stir the pot and perhaps make you guys think he means this even though he's probably one of the first people to realize he's becoming addicted and perhaps should stop. I don't know though. I'm really just spitballing here.
