Football, betting beast, ‘sika y3 mogya’ and lottery draw on GTV

Long before Arsenal, Manchester, PSG, Real Madrid and Barcelona, we quietly supported our Accra Great Olympics, Dawu Youngsters, Abusua Dwarfs and Hearts plus Kotoko.

Then they (Europeans buoyed by satellite TV) brought us football, boys latched onto it like a drug, many got addicted and badly hooked. Those are the ones that curse and insult professionals for performances.

Me, I’m an Arsenal fan to boot, nobody will convince me otherwise, it’s either Arsenal or Arsenal. Rooted as ever like the pyramids of Egypt. But I have long abandoned abusing the club or its paid assigns for whatever reason. I have better issues in which to emotionally invest.

LEGALIZED GAMBLING AS A MEANS OF LIVELIHOOD

Permit me to share paragraphs from: "The Light of the Lights: Islamic Religious Studies," a book authored by a childhood friend, Abdul Manan Yusif. In comparing the pre-Islamic period of ignorance and vice (gambling, infanticide, tribal wars et. al.) to current times he wrote on gambling:

“Gambling is officially institutionalized in some states including Ghana. The Ghanaian government has an agency in charge of lottery (National Lottery Authority) which organizes various forms of gambling on vehalf of the government.

“There are many kiosks stating lotto positioned at every vantage point of the country staking lotto on behalf of the government.

"Many people depend on gambling as a means of livelihood and today, the number of gambling institutions like my bet, premier bet, super bet among others are increasing in the country.” Safe to say, most of these many people are young men who love football, specifically European football.


THE LOVE FOR EURO FOOTBALL AND GAMBLING UPSURGE

I know that as a scientific fact because my research at the Ghana Institute of Journalism was on the heightened interest of the youth in European Football – A case study of St. Thomas Aquinas Senior High School.

The results showed that young people had fallen in love with football made overseas but back then, the research will not factor in the betting aspect, it had yet to hit town.

Roll on the years, these betting agencies continue to spring up faster than mushroom in the rainy season. With television with cable connection beaming matches as young people line up buying tickets to bet on their teams – most of them to also bet against other teams.

So in January 2019, Uganda president Yoweri Museveni ordered a progressive phasing out of soccer betting and gambling to save the youth from idleness and seeking shortcuts to making money, how one wishes it’d have been in Ghana.

But not to go too far, the menace seems to be spreading fast. Over in Congo Republic, the situation is no different. These betting canters continue to spring up with such speed that at some point it makes one cringe.


LOTTERY DRAW: THE CLOSEST WE CAME TO GAMBLING

Growing up, a rather liberal television routine meant that we watched any and everything especially on GTV. Way back, the closest we came to gambling was the Saturday afternoon national lottery draw.

Its famed advert of the lotto doctor still rings in my head. When a wife asked the husband why the lotto doctor was not rich, he replied: “he is a good Samaritan, that’s all.” Then came the bearded man exclaiming “Allah, na chi!” to wit “I swear, I have won.”

Then there was the spinning wheel and the call for ordinary people to press a button to draw the five “lucky” numbers. We watched the draw because of musical interlude. Later we tried remembering the numbers when they were announced after the main news on GTV.

Gambling back then was considered for the older persons who took hours sitting under trees and in kiosks with lotto newspapers that defied any arithmetic or calculus, a desert of numbers yet these men claim to be solving lotto – a game of chance oooo.

But thanks to football, today it is young people who crowd betting centers amid the sweltering heat in some of these places cursing at players and coaches, swearing at each other awaiting if the odds across the oceans will favour them.

What we effectively have is a gamble bubble that we must work to burst whilst lessening the spread and damage it has accumulated in it over the last few years. Something must be done before we are all done.

  13. Manchester United Previously, former England and Manchester United international Keane joined the group and attacked Maguire in another interview. and each spoke more sharply. Big Brother Keane said how many times has แทงบาสเกตบอล Maguire's battle been like this? I don't understand any reviews. Doing nonsense back and forth Now I don't even watch his post-match interviews.

  14. It is true that every time the team does not perform well. and sluggish personal condition Maguire always took the captain's responsibility after Manchester United games. For example, in his latest statement, the 28-year-old Maguire said that if there was a lot of outside criticism, We all have to take responsibility แทงบาสเกตบอล As a captain, I'm just like everyone else. and even have to take more responsibility I'm here to fight for the team. I know my teammates are the same.

  15. in this team for me Players should not be motivated by outside criticism. If a player of this level wears this shirt And there is no incentive to play for this club. There must be something wrong. We are all furious for the latest performance. We all want to play our best. Sometimes there may be bad form on the pitch. But the spirit of that team "We have big names in our Manchester รีวิวสล็อต United team, the players, the leaders and me. I'm tired of saying it over and over. But it can't go on like this. And the Monday game we have to be in good shape.

  16. bored to say It's no wonder Keane didn't want to listen anymore. To be honest, since playing at Old Trafford for £80million, the 28-year-old Maguire has never shown a แทงบาสเกตบอลperformance that has matched his price. After moving to Manchester United His price in Germany is around 50 million.

  17. but speak neutral The improvement that Maguire, 28, brings to the backline is still there. Especially in the full season 38 rounds of the league, he delivered 1 steal, 1.97 interceptions, 4.13 clears, 4.6 top tackles, 6.2 returns and plenty of data in the top five in the same position in the Premier League. The league, with an average of 7.12 points per game, was still พนันบาสเกตบอล fourth in the Premier League's central defenders that season. with or without Maguire There is no doubt that there are 2 levels of backline.

  18. Manchester United, but perhaps a tactical change or the physical effects of overuse At Manchester United, Maguire's performance has clearly gone awry since last season. And almost all of his defensive stats have dropped. This season, his performances could be called depressing. All kinds of mistakes continue. and every time he gets the ball in the back It squeezed my เทนนิสออนไลน์ heart when I saw it. Information continues to decline. And even his best headers dropped 2.4 times per game on average. With an average score of 6.56 points per game, it sits 46th in the Premier League.

  19. In fact, Maguire's amateur red card action. It is to blame for Solskjaer's dismissal, 48. The performance came from a central defender for £80million and it is impossible to withhold such criticism. Mills's words were much clearer compared to his celebrity counterparts. I don't know why the 28-year-old เกมสล็อต Maguire is still playing at the 2021 Man Utd Coaches. I judge the players by the way they play on the pitch. It's not the level of nonsense that says we have to be one.

  20. Manchester United Why Maguire, 28, is still playing at Manchester United live? This is absolutely nonsense. and if you buy at a high price Doesn't that mean it's not necessary? Which Manchester United defender is more reliable than Maguire today? At first I bought Waran because I thought Lindelof was unreliable. The central defender, the French champions, now makes frequent mistakes in the game. Bayi returns to take part in the African Cup. แมนเชสเตอร์ยูไนเต็ด Jones performed well in the league final. He's a good choice but we'll have to wait and see.
