Kevin Kiptoo, a 21-year-old Moi University student has admitted that he is earning a living on gambling.
In an interview on Thursday, Kiptoo reveals about his luck of gambling that many have done poorly.
Curious about the site he uses, I asked him the betting sites he earns his fortunes.
"I started gambling on January this year and due to many betting sites available I decided to use the common one that my friend told me," he said.
Kiptoo recalled how he began making huge money through betting.
"I remember vividly my dad had sent me with only Sh2,000 for my gatherings. That small amount could not have lasted for a week," he said.
"I decided to take a risk on gambling of which I was not a fan of it. I deposited Sh 1500 in my Sportpesa account and placed two games with total odds of two and my first winning was Sh3,000," Kiptoo said.
The Sh3,000 he first won made him continue with the risk.
"The following day, I placed a bet with Sh2,000 and luckily an extra time goal made my bet to win. After those wins I started enjoying the new 'employment'," he noted.
Though his bets all have not been winning, he said that he makes sure he gets at least Sh10,000 a week.
"I usually place my bets with Sh2,000 daily, either single bet or multi-bet but sometimes I lose. When I do calculations on my profit every Sunday I usually get Sh10,000 to Sh15,000 weekly," said Kiptoo.
"Gambling has really changed my status; I pay my fees, aid my parents to pay my siblings fees, buy basic needs among others," he added.
