Kofi Kinaata has tackled the words of Ghanaian clergyman, Bishop Dag Heward-Mills concerning sports betting.

The Bishop had earlier advised Ghanaian youths to stay away from sports betting if they want to have bright futures.

Kofi Kinaata argued against the claim that people that engage in sports betting cant have bright futures.

According to him, Sports betting has created bright futures for some people; it has taken average people and has made them millionaires.

The multiple awards winning artiste, who is an ambassador for sports betting company, Betway said this in an exclusive interview with Amansan Krakye.

"Amansan Krakye by the time we finish this interview, I’m very sure that you’d have ended up giving me problems. Proverbially it is said that what the elderly sees whilst sitting, the young cannot see even if they’re standing," he said.

“So probably it depends on what he has seen that’s why he’s advising the youth to stay away from sports betting because he’s been in this world for a long time. However, it is two-sided when it comes to sports betting,” 

“There are some people who were also wallowing in abject poverty but through staking a sports bet they won and have suddenly become billionaires. So does it mean their riches from sports betting is a misfortune,”

“There are some people who get their daily wage from betting. So the same betting that he claims can make people poor has also made some people filthy rich.”
