A popular Twitter punter, “MrBanktips” asked his followers who are predominantly bettors to share the most important thing they did with their winnings from gambling.
These are some of their responses;

I bought my ND form in 2016 from the 5k I won from Bet9ja during the Euros. Now in 2020, I bought HND form from several fixed game winnings. Hows that?
