What do you guys think about this?
I tend to agree with what Erigga said. Though, this may differ in other countries but taking a closer look at betting shops target locations in Nigeria, they are more concentrated in the poor neighbourhood than the rich neighbourhood. Using Lagos as an example, the number of betting shops are far more greater in numbers in places like Surelere, Mushin, Ojuelegba than Victoria Island, Banana Island, etc. Now, It doesn't mean that the rich doesn't gamble, they do but the poor are always banking on luck to hit a major financial breakthrough and gambling is often seen as a way out.
Maybe those people think that they can make money from gambling so they still trying to gambling. They must realize that making money from gambling is difficult and gambling can only give them more problem if they lose self control.
Instead make money from gambling, they will only lose more and more money without making money at all. Casino in the poor neighbourhood trying to give a hope for those people but if those people can open their mind and thinks that gambling is not for making money purpose, they will not trying to gambling.
Maybe it need more people to remind those people not to playing gambling too often and search for the only ways to make money. That will give them a chance to make money and not risk their money in gambling.
Although rich people in that neighborhood gambling, that doesn't make them rely on gambling to make money.
