Quote
In Iganga, a staunch Arsenal football fan is looking for a home for his family after he lost his house in a bet over a game between English clubs Arsenal and Manchester United.

Before the game, Henry Dhabasani staked his two-roomed house in a bet with Rashid Yiga, that Arsenal would win the game. On his part, Yiga staked his new Toyota Premio car and his wife that Manchester United would win.

The two put their stake in writing, with local leaders and fans witnessing the deed. Dhabasani, married to three wives with five children, fainted at the end of the match on realizing Arsenal had lost the game 1–0. On Monday, several Manchester United fans stormed Dhabasani’s home and threw him and his family out.

He's also an idiot for betting against Manchester United: those are never good odds.  Twirling

For some reason I think the bank probably owns 90% of his house.  People who would bet their home on a football match don't strike me as the type who would have a paid off mortgage.

Wow. I like Arsenal too, but I'm not betting my home on them. That's insane.

This seems like it was ripped straight from a movie.
