My sad betting experience was not a very sad one rather a funny one I guess because when I remember now, I just laugh it off. But at the time it happened it was nothing funny to me, guess anger made me do or say things I didn't want to say. That's what a terrible anger can actually cause,hehe. Mind you I'm a gentleman I don't get angry easily.
Ok let's dive in to the story.
So you know how it is always stated in betting places or sites that betting is for people who are 18 years or older, they are the ones qualified to bet. This was not what I do listen to as I started betting when I was around 15years, at the time there was no way I could bet conveniently at the comfort of my home through my mobile phone, so we had to go to betting shops to place our bets.
As I said I was a little too young to play bet at the time but I really didn't care, it was a custom in the betting shops to chase young people who are not yet 18 away from the place because it is an offence that could lead to law enforcement palava,hehe.
So as for me I always pretended and always try to find my way in and out of the place quickly before they found out I was to young to be in the betting shops, I always prefer to go when people are many or when the place is swarming with people, so it was easy not to be targeted.
I was not so good at betting but I always had the believe that I could win a huge amount one day, though all that is a fantasy to me now as I know now that making money actually requires hard work and commitment.
My technique in escaping their eyes was such a good one I was not even caught once. I never knew the day all my smartness will be discovered will come.
So as you would have noticed, I was fifteen so I was a senior in high school. I had placed a bet with my elder brother's phone the night before and I went to school the next morning asking from my friends if they had any money on them I could use to stake the bet, I was not quite sure I would win but I just had the urge to place a bet that day. I was planning to go to the betting shop after the school time.
One of my friends responded by giving me the money to stake with the conditioner of splitting the money into 50/50 if perhaps i won the bet. No need to drag the sharing of the money as I did not have any money at all to play it.
After school as planned I went to the betting shop and placed the bet with my technique and God so good I wasn't caught and I went home peacefully. I literarily couldn't sleep that night as I was looking at the livescore of football teams I placed my bet on. I later went to sleep that night without the outcome of all the games I placed my best on.
Waking up early the next morning, I did not even say a prayer in the morning, I just went straight to my brothers phone to check the outcome. Lo and behold, I won the bet. I went to school happily to tell my friend the outcome of the results and in return he was happy too, we planned to go to the bet shop together to cash the money out, this is where the issue started.
Dumb me was too happy I had won a game and forgot about the evading technique I use all the time in other for them not to know I was underaged. I just went straight to the counter and requested for my money. That's when it dawned on me that I had fucked up, as the man was telling me what I was doing there and I should go out immediately. What do you mean move out was my response.
I was still trying to drag it with him before they threw me out of the betting shop. My friend was laughing seriously at me but I didn't care as the money was all what was in my mind.
I later decided to go back home to tell my brother to cash it out for me, because that was the only option for me to get my money although my brother told me he will have a share out of the money but what can I do, it's better to have little than none.
My friend went back to school the next day to tell the whole class the story and me that was a big boy was discharged in front of my female classmates.
I'm still trying to drag the matter with my friend till date, why will he expose my embarrassing moment to them all.
The funny thing is I don't even bet no more but the memories still remain with me about my sad and embarrassing betting experience.
After my experience at the betting shop, it was the last they saw my face till date😂.
Thanks for reading to the end.
Do have a great day.
