The worst ridiculous and ugliest moment I have ever encountered pertaining gambling is when a friend told me and few other friends that he was going to take responsibility of the bills for our weekend hangout.
He had us that confidence to be unfailingly.
Guess what???
It was actually from a game he booked against the weekend that had him that morale to had projected this weekend hangout amongst us and it was not that he had secured the money to be assured.
As a matter of fact, he was nowhere to be found all through the weekend and could not even take his calls because he felt messed up of himself for the false promises.
While time passes by, you can imagine how he narrated the stories and felt remorseful of being a d!ck head as the game failed him as predicted.
Normally, its good to be positive, or speak, think positively of whatever seed you have sowed, because your positive thinking, thoughts, or words can go a great length in seeing that that seed germinates and bear good fruit.
So, I completely see nothing wrong on him for acting positively concerning his bet, his only mistake was that he was already promising you guys something when has hasn't secured a win yet.
But about thinking positively, I usually fantasize on what I will do, how I will be living my life, the type of car I will buy for myself and my wife, the type of house I will live in with my family, if any day, luck smiles on me and I win up to $200,000 😁.
