A young woman has gone viral on X after sharing an emotional video of herself in tears, claiming she lost her house rent to sports betting.
According to reports circulating online, the lady had used her rent money to stake a virtual bet, hoping to double the amount. Unfortunately, the gamble did not go as planned, and she reportedly lost the entire sum.
In the now-trending clip, she is seen crying uncontrollably as she laments her loss, repeatedly saying, “Sporty why?” — apparently referring to the popular betting platform SportyBet.
The video quickly sparked mixed reactions from social media users, with many expressing little sympathy and stressing the risks associated with gambling.

“Why set camera to shed crocodile tears? We ain’t moved. Betting is a form of gambling, it’s got risks attached. You win some then you lose some. It’s the way of it. It’s NOT for the faint hearted. You either stop betting or continue at your own risk.”

“We warn you all but you guys always think you are smarter than the bet company.”
