Abstract: This paper describes gambling and its Implications among students in Nigeria. It explores the concept, theories, types, dynamics, consequences and educational implications of gambling to students in Nigerian educational institutions. On the one hand, gambling has helped gambling agents (who are sometimes students of some higher institutions) to be gainfully employed and increase the social capital of those in the business.

Some of the recommendations made by the study include; The University, through its entrepreneurial centre should empower students on vocational training, with the aim of profit making and educational institutions should also organize and orientation program to educate the students on the effect of peer influence on the or academics and social behaviour.
