Varsity Students venture into Sportpesa Business using HELB

Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) has recently paid a visit to the varsity students making betting part and parcel of their lifestyle. The  students can’t fathom how quickly it has left many of them broke, instead of saving their Helb on important issues, they prefer to spend the money on betting

“Betting ni chama”, explains Ken, a third year student of Moi University in the school of Education,
adding that, “sisi hupatia sportpesa hadi siku turn yako itafika, siku ya muhindi kutupatia hufika tu, nimebet since 2013 and I have lost more than I have gained”

Omariba, also a third year in the school of information sciences refers to it as “kuingia kwa ofisi” since it’s the area which doesn’t require any degree papers. He carries out extensive analysis before placing a bet which increases his chances of winning.

As the day goes by, things turn sour for him, he swallows his pride and term it as “siku mbaya kwa ofisi”. Looking mournfully at his account history telling himself  ‘hii pesa lazima itarudi”

And with the new football season around the corner, the saddest truth is that University students are gambling away the money entrusted to them by the government leaving them with no cent at all making others to engage into theft and some losing their school fees.

Bet what you can afford to lose and not losing what you cant afford
