Football betting in Kisii and most parts of the country has become a major talk and a business for people across all ages.
If one would take a visit to the cyber cafes in towns, it is common to find young people surfing through betting sites.
The most commonly visited sites include Sportpesa, Bet Yetu, Elitebet, Betin Kenya and Betways.
Those who do not get a chance to go online read newspapers and send their predictions through text messages.
Cyber cafes also print cards with the matches of the day and sell to the gamblers.
Most of the gamblers go for multi-bets hoping for high returns.
Others play the jackpot in which they expect to win bonuses if they do not go away with the whole package.
In as much as many people lose money through betting, the sport is addictive in nature and has made them remain attached to gambling day in day out.
Some of them say, "once a gambler always a gambler." Due to creativity, people have formed betting groups on social media platforms where they gather ideas and analyse the matches of the day.
Although betting is a survival skill for hustlers, it encourages laziness. People waste time analysing and betting instead of engaging in important activities.
It is slowly killing creativity especially among youths who want to make quick money without working hard.
