Sunday, 10th of November 2013 is a day I will never forget in hurry. I accumulated about 12 games which gave me a total of 67 odds. 10 games out of the 12 were concluded already, 1 game was cancelled due to poor weather, so I was waiting patiently for the outcome of the last game and it was a 5k bet. Should I say the funniest part or sorrowful part was that the last game I was waiting for was among the games with least odds on the ticket. The odd was about 1.27 because it was over 1.5 I played and it was the game of Man U vs Arsenal. This game was like a torn on my flesh because it seriously dashed my hope back then, it was since that day I started believing in the adage that says 'Do not count your chicks until they are hatched. Don't forget I said it was over 1.5  I played and for those of us who could remember the game, Van Persie scored around 27th minute assisted by Rooney. At that point I started calling people I was owing to forward their account numbers for me to settle my debts. And for those of us into gambling, we are all aware that paradventure if a game is cancelled or postponed in an accumulated bet, such game will be counted as void, this made the odd to reduce to 52 odds with 5k making it a total of 260k to be won. My brothers, I was waiting patiently for the second goal to be scored in the game because the first half ended 1:0.
When the game entered 80th minute, I started sweating profusely despite the fact I was the nearest person to the standing fan in the viewing centre, the plastic bottled coke I was drinking was tasting bitter, no be small thing ooo. I was very desperate to see the second goal scored either by Man U or Arsenal. It got to a stage, despite the fact I am Man U fan, I started praying for Arsenal to score whenever they took the ball to Man U box 18. My brothers, when money is involved, you will forget whether you are a fan of a particular club or not. When the final whistle was blown with the result 1:0, I felt like entering the ground. That was how my hope of winning 260k bet was dashed. I can never forget that very day in hurry, Sunday 10 Nov.2013
