Showhand…
Thursday, June 21st, 2007Tonight is the night…
The night of all nights….
The one night I SHOWHAND by placing the biggest bet I have ever done on a football match in my entire life…
Trust me, the bet is unbelievably HUGE…
If I win, drinks are on me… Huat arh!…
If I lose (Choy!)….
Instant noodles and tap water for three months, and I quit serious betting for good….
Gambling is a really sharp double-edged sword and definitely not for the weak and fainthearted….
It is somewhat like dating…
You finally meet someone special you are really attracted to. The stars are aligned, and the planets and universe are in perfect harmony. You want to pursue your happiness and a possible happily ever after. The risks are always so intimidating, yet, the excitement, the anticipation and great rewards keep on drawing us in, like moths to a burning flame. Except one does not literally lose his entire wallet to soccer betting in the process. Or end up a smouldering heap of mess on the floor. What do you lose when you fail at the initial stages of dating?…
Pride? Face?…
Not important…
When you lose pride and face, you do not lose money…
When you lose money, you will also lose pride and face….
So, if you have a choice…
Always pick dating over gambling…
That reminds me….
Damn I need a girlfriend…. =p
