Gambling ‘killing’ football fans

Football fanaticism and online gambling now pose a real danger to young Kenyans.

The feeling of humiliation by many football fanatics and online betting gamblers has caused much harm to lives of these sports enthusiasts who cannot bear to lose.

Incidents of people committing suicide after teams they support are defeated or when they lose large stakes to betting sites has increased rapidly.

Fans should know that when one decides to gamble, they MUST acquire qualities of a business person, one of them being risk taking. Then again, why kill yourself while the players hug each other after the match?
