Call it betting, gambling or casino but  a lot of Kenyans know  something about it especially sports betting. To say the least, betting has changed so many lives in different ways. You probably know someone who has been a lucky winner of ksh. 1000, ksh. 10000, ksh. 20000 and so forth. But still. Many people struggle  getting the money to complete placing  their  bet slip. 

Kenyan bet fanatics placing bets for games, matches 

Any experienced bettor will tell you that gambling isn’t for the faint hearted. Ofcourse one has to invest in it financially as well as emotionally. Moreover, as much as you may know the performance history of every team, game or players on your bet slip, that isn’t enough to make you a lucky winner. 

Like any investment, if you wish to try your luck at becoming rich or just hoping to win some good money, wisely make your bet slip and go ahead to place the stake amount. Without staking the amount, your bet slip may just get outdated after sometime only to realize that all matches matched the prediction that you couldn’t place. 

Where to get the money for jackpot bet

The best time when betting becomes exciting is evenings and weekends. Of course, any responsible person only bets as a pastime and not the main job. In any case, betting can’t be a main source of income because it’s all gambling-yes, sheer luck plays out here. 

If there could be any valuable advice to give someone planning to or currently betting actively, then it would be to  exercise caution. Some may call it invoking gut instinct but it all crystallizes into self-awareness when gambling.

Wondering where to get money for this week’s multibet, jackpot, megajackpot, midweek games? It’s never so tough to get the money given a good plan. Let’s see it; 

1. Don’t withdraw all your bet wins

Kenyan bettors have this habit of draining their accounts whenever they bet. Some even say that using money won to play the next bet brings bad luck. But believe me you, once that money has left your betting account into your mpesa, so many needs will be chasing it.

When you save a portion of your win to play future bets, it won’t hit you so hard when its time to bet. In fact, even if you lose a bet, it will be clear that it wasn’t from your direct toil anyway which is consoling enough for those who get too emotional about losses.

2. Go for low minimum deposit bet sites in Kenya

The statement “gamble with whatever you’re willing to lose” is one people better recite than live. If you place either a $6 or $200 bet, it’s never because you’re willing to lose the money. There is always the feeling and urge that the predictions will come to be true and a win is definitely in the offing-several times it never comes to be and agony strikes.

To avoid hassling for large sums of money just for a bet, identify and go for those betting sites that set low deposits. For those who love placing multibets, the tendency to go for big deposits in the hope to boost the overall bet win amount can be treacherous. 

There’s always a betting site that will take that  ksh. 10 in your mpesa balance as stake. You don’t have to go for the large and commonly talked about casinos, just one that falls within your limited budget. With this, you also get to save your skin from denying yourself and people who depend on you money only to spend it in bets. 

3. Go for pool/group betting

The spirit of pooling together isn’t something new in Kenya. We’ve always had our friends’, families’ backs when it mattered. So as a betting family, identify friends like you in the hood and put money together and bet.

Smart Kenyans bet together

It may be a slippery move for many to trust each other when it comes to sharing out the spoils. Most people don’t trust that even their closest friends will honor the deal; especially if a win comes through. But, if you guys have been an item and all want to be a few coins richerm why not approach it together. 

4. Don’t clear your Mpesa account balance

Mpesa tops in the way people transfer money to their betting sites for placing a gamble. In so many ways, people don’t trust keying in their card details on betting sites and would rather channel money from mobile money accounts to the site. 

Instead of cashing out all that money from your account, spare a small balance for later. With as low as ksh. 100 left in your mpesa account, you can basically use paybill to move the money and place a bet. In the end,you come out as self-sufficient and always ready to try your luck using your own means rather than depending on others. 

Never too sure winning even the easiest matches to predict

All you need to do is work with probabilities, guesses and instincts which definitely some people always nail while others miss each time. After analyzing the game then comes the decisive moment where money has to be put to it. 

Today, Kenyan betting sites have adopted favorable stake limits to accommodate all. From as  low as ksh.10, Kenyans can try their luck at becoming millionaires. Indeed, Samuel Wambui who won from BetLion confessed to have only staked Ksh. 100. Similar cases happen each day. 

As much as betting sites have lowered minimum stake limits to accommodate all, we can’t be deaf to the challenges bettors still face. Whether out of habitual errors that bettors have adopted like bet chasing or addiction, so many Kenyan who bet don’t easily access the stake. 

Cases of people spending monies meant for serious expenses like school fees, medical bills, or chamaas have been reported. In fact, some situations can be so ugly that individuals who mess up this much commit suicide. Not anymore. You don’t need to sink into depression or shame for losing bet money or inability to raise the money in the first place. They’re so many ways out of this situation.

Kenyans reaping big from betting 

You probably know a friend, workmate, relative or some random guy who has become addicted to betting. Although betting addiction is an extreme which we should avoid at all costs, betting in itself gives every lucky person a chance at becoming a millionaire without having to go for pyramid schemes or following the cultic prosperity gospel.

Many people would be reluctant  to judge betting harshly for as much as it has driven some people into frustrations or deaths,we can’t forget jackpot winners like Samuel Abisai (Ksh 221 million), Gordon Ogada (Ksh 230 million), Cosmas Korir (Ksh208 Million) and the list continues to grow.

Guess what? You could just be the next jackpot for a mega jackpot winner.  From as low as ksh. 10, ksh. 100 or whatever the amount, lucky winners have smiled all the way to the banks. 

Our final words

Betting doesn’t have to be painful and riddle a lot of emotions both before, during and after placing a stake. With the correct strategy to bet and win, many will want to keep enjoying gambling for longer.

You need to at worst master the ways to get the money for staking and muster the art of betting including spreading bets as well as making deposits sparingly.
