After all I finished with my bet headed home and was asking myself what could the colleague act that way avoiding his close friends they all gambling together and just because luck shines on him first he decides to create a distance and class. I couldn't actually annex a good reason why anyone should do that.
That's why it's good we all have to be mindful of the kind of friends we keep, because a true friend can never abandon you no matter how rich he gets, but yet try his position best to ensure he support his friends to become successful in life, because there is a parable we always say in our local language "Na one hand dey wash another" which means the people who you assist today while you are rich, are likely to be the same people that will assist you tomorrow when you are no more financially buoyant. As this thing called Money revolves from one person to another in due time. Hence, we should never neglect people when we are given the opportunity to assist them in times of need.
When someone wins a large amount in gambling he hides it from his friends because everyone knows that it is very easy to earn in gambling without any hard work if one is lucky and that is why if a friend hears that another friend has won a large amount in gambling then that  He may ask for money as a loan or for any other reason. Everyone tries to hide this fear. I don't know this more clearly because I have never been in such a situation and my friends have never done anything like that to me.
This is a simple logic we have to understand if we do it with a pure mindset not for greed. There are many people who had won big bets and end up spending the money carelessly without using the fund to do something better. There are many reasons that can make a person which is potential gamblers to stay out from friends after winning big amount of money. Sometimes when we noice that we are fake friends all around us, it is better for us to stay away from bad influence that would make us look like they care about us but it's not so.
The entire story is a dilemma to apprehend that the friends he (the winner) has been with for an expanded period of time now emerge to be fake friends just immediately as he won the huge sum of money, something he never realized when he hasn't won the money. Or am I the only one thinking in this direction!

It could be that he is the real fake friend that was pretending to be in the company of  those other friends and his true nature got ignited by the money he won. No amount of money I win as a gambler will make me draw away from my friends correlating with them doesn't mean an going to carelessly spend my money or lend them by compulsion.
