Arsenal fan loses house over United wager. An Arsenal supporter has lost his house after betting it on the result of the weekend defeat to Manchester United. Henry Dhabasani bet his family home that Arsenal would beat United; Rashid Yiga, a United supporter, wagered his car and wife in return. The pair, in the Iganga district of Eastern Uganda, took the wager so seriously that local elders and supporters witnessed the signing of the bet. Dhabasani reportedly fainted at full-time, with Arsenalâs 1-0 loss condemning him to homelessness. The following Monday, his house was seized by United fans, leaving him, his three wives and five children without a roof over their heads. Fans of English clubs in Africa often make the headlines with their extreme behaviour during and after big matches. In 2009, a Nigerian Manchester United fan drove a bus into a group of Barcelona supporters following his sideâs 2-0 Champions League final defeat to the Spaniards. Four were killed and a further 10 injured. Weeks previously an Arsenal fan in Kenya committed suicide by hanging after his side were beaten in the semis. He was found dead wearing his favourite club's shirt. http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs...-loses-house-over-united-wager-145341020.html
ffs!! that's the very ****ing reason i don't gamble, its for cretins! lose your home over a ****ing football match or potentially your wife, pair of cocks!
The man betting his wife was smart. Win: get a house. Lose: lose the wife. Sounds a win/win situation for most blokes.
Gambling isnt for cretins at all I mkae quite a bit of money on footie bets The cretins are the ones who bet what they cant afford to lose!
haha, that's hilarious. My local Chinese restaurant changed hands overnight a couple of years back, after the owner lost it in a poker game - he came home & had to tell his wife that they had to leave (they lived upstairs ffs) A week later, new Chinese owner installed
This is not uncommon at all. I know of at least 3 such cases. A thriving restaurant suddenly in new ownership. The previous owner had to pay his gambling debts and now starting from scratch. Anyway, one of the wives v/s a car. No brainer. I would wager the ugliest one... LESSON: YOU SHOULD NEVER EVER BET AGAINST UNITED
So they guy lost his house but avoided having to pick up a wife instead. not so bad i guess. gambling is bad.... taking moeny off such cretins... not so bad. its like this; the "pro" poker player will know the times of day (or night) drunken americans come on line for a few hands and will be the guy starting to play at 4am in vegas and such... in short. play at it and get what you deserve. work at it and you'd better know what you are at. this clown sounds (chortle) like a typcially deluded arsenal fan.. was it dubbed i wonder.
Unless it was a league game against West Brom, Liverpool or Man City Better lesson: Never assume Arsenal won't bottle it
