Yesterdayday I went to bank to do some account upgrade on my local account, when I drop, there is a local betting shop beside the bank and they are sharing thesame fence but what got my attention is. As I was about entering inside bank I overheard some people raising their voices saying why would you place bet without money but put your bike at stake, I acted as I never knew what is going on till I finished what I went to the bank to do, and still came back they were still raising their voices.

Do you believe that you would win the game for staking your bike, why would you do that? Please pay off the money and take your bike and leave otherwise your bike would remain here. On the process the gambler pleaded and pleaded with the agent to let his bike go so he could go drive and raise back the money to pay for his Gamble but yet they didn't allow him to go with the bike instead he should call a relative to release him from there but he instead of not calling anyone but rather go home with his bike. It was a serious drama (case) till i and some other people had to intervene for the gambler and paid off for him to go home with his bike and never to come gamble without funds on his hands.

I want to asked here.. What could make you stake bet with a motorcycle or any physical properties knowing too well that when lose you can't afford to let go your motorcycle or property. How could this act be properly prevented, or does it mean that the betting shop should stop accepting people using anything not less than money to stake bet or what? I have seen many worse cases where people gambles uncontrollably, I was so much embarrassed seeing people behave this way.

This lead me to come create this topic to see response from experience people since the local betting shop is not that much far from me, I may give them some clue since I was recognized among those who calmed the whole situation.
