About yesterday I came across a friend looking so depressed and sad and tried to interrogate with him then he said he felt like giving up in life and i asked why, he said he used about 80% of his savings to stake on a particular football game and lost, I felt so pity for him and had to encourage him with some advices.

He broke the cardinal rule in gambling and which is only played with money that you can afford to lose and never involve your savings in gambling, even if you are 100% sure that you are going to win you never the know outcome until the results are final, in gambling there are unforeseeable events that can happen that you least expect it.

I was attracted to gambling specifically sports betting peer to peer especially if I am against a bettor who bets for the underdogs, there is something when you win in gambling its easy money but after a lot of disappointment and realizing that you cannot make a lot of money from gambling and you cannot make a living out of it, I have to give up hope that I can be good in gambling and accept is as entertainment and only bet with money that you can afford to lose.

I'm not surprised about the feeling of that specific friend because everybody in this world who will have the same experience will indeed feel worthless because 80% is already a huge amount but not every gambler has the confidence to do that in one go even if there's a good chance in winning that bet, you see, we tend to feel some doubts even though our chances are strong and that just mean that we know deep in ourselves that it is not that sure as long as the outcome will not say the same bet you're betting to.
