Bets

Have you ever make a bet? Those who ever make a bet will understand the thrill of winning the additional monetary benefits.

There are many types of betting methods.

  • Lottery
  • Sports betting (English Premier League, NBA, Formula 1 racing)
  • and many different types available in different countries.
To many people, this is a good way to gain additional income once you win.
Imagine, you bet $1.00 or $2.00 and you might stand a chance to win $100.00, $10,000.00 or even a million dollars or two. Amazing isn't it!
Or, imagine you bet on your favourite soccer club, Manchester United or Liverpool F.C., betting them to win, lose or draw a match. You might win a substantial amount of money.

Amazing! Sounds good? Sounds tempted by the returns? Imagine you can be a millionaire overnight?

I personally do not think so. In fact, I do not even encourage betting $1.00. Betting is just pure luck. You win some, You lose some. You will never know when you will win or lose. What are the chances of winning? It might be as low as 0.0001% or even as high as 50%. All I can say is, it is PURE LUCK.

Some people spends almost $100.00 or $200.00 every week. Hoping that they can win $1000.00 or more. Many such people have this mindset that, the more they bet, the more they will win. I can say, this is correct. You can bet $100.00, and you might win $3000.00 in the lottery. However, many people disregard the part where they will not win the $3000.00. Hence, they not only lose out on not winning the $3000.00, they also lost their $100.00.

What do this people do when they did not win the $3000.00? They will bet another $100.00 the following week, hoping that they will win on the next draw. This also means that, they had spent $200.00 in total. And if they did not win again, they will spend another $100.00 the following week again. This amount will snowball. So, maybe you do win on the 20th week. But, you had spent $2000.00 in total to win $3000.00. In other words, you spent 5 months, only to win $1000.00.
What if these people do not bet at all. By the end of the 5 months, they have saved $2000.00 instead.

So, who's the one who really does win in the end? You think about that.

Many people do not think of what will happen if they lose. People only think when they win.
But when these people sit back and start counting how much they spent, they will realised how much money they had lose.

I stay by this motto. Not to Bet, Is to Win.
By not spending the $1.00, $10.00 or $100.00, means I had already won $1.00, $10.00 or $100.00.
