We love anything related to football in this part of the world. We have many sports lovers who can go extra mile to support their teams. Aside football, people from this part of the world also like football betting with passion. The high rate of unemployment has made football betting a source of income to many people.

There are several sports people bet on such as boxing, tennis, basketball, volleyball, etc but people in this part of the world are very much interested in football betting. Only few punters place their money on other sports aside football.

We have several bookies here such as Bet9ja, Nairabet, Merrybet, Surebet and a few others. Among all the bookies Bet9ja remains the most loved. Most people choose Bet9ja because it has higher odds and fast transactions

Walking into the betting shop in my area this afternoon, I decided to make a post about how a typical Bet shop in Nigeria looks like

This is the entrance of the bet shop in my area. Most bet shops are usually secured with burglary to prevent thieves from vandalizing the shop when they've closed. There have been cases of thieves breaking into the bet shop at night and stealing valuable assets such as laptops, televisions, etc You can see how guarded it is with red painted burglary 👇

There's a section where people book their games. You're to write down the code of each game you want to play from the board. People usually take their time to select the matches to avoid making mistakes. When booking, some might ask for the opinions of others before selecting a game.You can see the board where people select their games 👇

After booking your game, you're to submit it to the agent to stake your matches for you. You must make sure you didn't make any mistake in your selection because any wrong selection is your own fault and not the agent, and the games cannot be deleted. This is where you submit your booked games together with your money 👇

In a standard bet shop as seen above, there's a section where people watch live matches and highlights. This usually keep the bet shop lively and crowded, especially during weekend. This is where we watch matches 👇

We also have a section where people play virtual bet. There's dog race, virtual football and color match.. The results are always ready within 5 minutes

This is just the overview of what a typical bet shop looks like in this part of the world.
