As the 2018 World Cup games are ongoing with many people engaging in gambling, another Kenyatta University student based in Ruiru campus is in tears of joy after gaining sh50,000 on gambling.
Kevin Njoroge, a 23-year-old second-year student pursuing a business course could not believe that he had made that astonishing amount.
"It is unimaginable that I have made sh50,000 in just two hours, the money I was expecting to expand my business as usual," he revealed.
Njoroge poses to be a top gambler in the institution as he is popularly known as 'Sonko' by his fellow students.
"I was expecting a congratulatory message as usual because this is not the first time am betting, I have been earning through gambling and today was also my day," Njoroge said.
The student who not only does gambling business but also operates a pool tables business near the school premises made the amount in what many have been seeing as an impossible bet to win.
"I had placed that game of Belgium versus Panama a correct score of Belgium to win 3 goals to nil, I was sure of Lukaku to score three goals though he scored two, Mertens made the tally to three and thanks to Curtois (Belgium stopper) for denying Panama a goal," he said.
With the amount, Njoroge revealed his plan to expand the pool business which has been a source of income to him.
"With Sh50,000 that I pocketed today, I will use it to expand my already booming pool business by installing more pool tables and am expecting an increased income," said Njoroge.
Njoroge further revealed how he has been spending sh4,000 earning daily from the pool business.
"I have been earning Sh3,000 to Sh4,000 daily from my pool business and with the amount, I have been paying my school fees and also helping my parents back at home," Njoroge said while encouraging those jobless youths to employ themselves.
