Clinton Opoku, commonly recognized as LilMoGh, has defied the prevailing notion that betting exclusively appeals to individuals with a lazy demeanor.
He disagrees with the perspective put forth by figures such as Majority Leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, who argue that betting doesn’t promote hard work.
During an interview with the media, LilMoGh openly opposes the recently implemented 10% tax on earnings from bets and lottery games.
He reveals that he constructed his residence using winnings derived from betting, underscoring the considerable effort and resolve invested in this achievement.
LilMoGh elaborates, “Within my house, I’ve set up an office, all financed by my betting endeavors. Here, I meticulously analyze odds and put thoughts to paper. The people who rely on me for accurate winning odds are numerous, and it’s a continuous process. Operating in this capacity demands a 24/7 commitment; therefore, dismissing it as a lazy pursuit would be inaccurate.”
He additionally mentions that he frequently receives calls from aspirational young individuals seeking favorable odds. He expresses his intention to establish a company aimed at offering employment opportunities to the unemployed youth, with plans to have it up and running by the close of 2023.
“People frequently reach out for odds, and I instruct them to wait momentarily as I finalize the odds. I’m even in the process of laying the groundwork for my own enterprise by year-end. In light of these endeavors, how can anyone classify betting as a pursuit for the indolent?”
Effective from August 15, 2023, the 10% tax applies to total earnings from betting, gaming, lottery activities, and various games of chance.
