Sports has always been a lucrative industry where many people have made fortunes. From legendary players to famous coaches, there are different ways for an individual to make a name for themselves in this industry. And with the advent of social media and its constant presence in our lives, influencers have come to play an important role as well. Today, influencers have emerged as another tool for brands and companies to promote their products or services and help their followers leverage arising opportunities. Akinde Gbenga Bayo is one such influencer making his mark in this competitive industry.

Akinde Gbenga Bayo is a Nigerian-born sports influencer with a thriving career in the field. With over 415.3K followers on Twitter and growing daily, he has come to be known as one of Nigeria’s most promising up-and-coming talents. Born in Ikere, Ekiti state and raised in Lagos State, Nigeria, Akinde grew up watching football games on TV with his father every weekend. It’s this love for sports that first sparked his interest in all things related to sports. Years later, that love bloomed into a thriving career as a sports analyst and betting expert, raking in millions weekly from sports. Akinde is renowned for his numerous football predictions with Sportybet codes, winning football betting, and inspiring others to do the same successfully.

Before making it big, however, Akinde Gbenga Bayo went through a series of disheartening losses and challenges that almost broke him. After losing considerable sums of money, he wised up and started implementing the lessons he learned. Over time, Akinde learned how to sit back and study the game before staking, and that’s how he gradually became a big winner. In 2013, Akinde emerged as the best Sporty analyst in Ikere, Ekiti State, further proving he knew what he was about. The winning streak continues to date, enabling him to pursue other interests in diverse industries besides sports.

An avid sports lover, Akinde Gbenga Bayo is keen to point out that winning takes time, effort, and consistency. “Winning millions will eventually happen because impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it,” he says. Instead of betting on what you think is popular, Akinde advises taking time to thoroughly study the field. “Don’t play games you don’t understand, even if you see lots of other people making money from them,” Akinde adds.

Despite being an expert in the sports betting field, Akinde Gbenga Bayo admits there are times he has to fold and reassess, which he believes is crucial in all aspects of life. “Take a calculated risk instead of going bankrupt,” says Akinde. “If you ain’t getting it right, sit back, relax and study the game. Go solo, win alone, and rediscover what it means to win because no money is too small to lose, and at the end of the day, all that matters is winning.” Akinde’s clarion call is for every sports lover to be responsible and bet wisely.

In the next few years, Akinde Gbenga Bayo hopes to diversify and expand his expertise to other sectors. He’s already doing that in real estate through his Lagos-based Thruways Realty, a company he hopes to scale further in the future. Akinde is also a firm believer in giving back to society and has been widely involved in programs that feed widows. His goal is to make lots of money and expand his philanthropy.
