The Magic Gambling Weaves
I have my story to tell. He's got his. And hers. They've got their own stories, too. Have you?
It all started one sunny day in May when three friends watched a boxing match. It was between a Mexican and a Filipino. The day was sweltering. The wind was dry. It was a day like many other days. Boring. Dull. Lifeless. Uninteresting.
The match had been broadcasted on TV for many weeks. People the world over had been very excited to witness the match between Mexico's champion and the pride of the nation of many islands' (-the Philippines') winner.
That game meant integrity. Pride. Friendship. Excitement. And megabucks.
Curious, they decided to watch the game too. They laid a wager on their chosen pugilist. The game advanced. Each fighter showed his skill in the boxing ring. Both were competent.
The 6th round was over. Both fighters were sweating profusely. A nick on the forehead. Bleeding gums. No matter.
The match drew to a close. Their chosen pugilist won. They doubled the money they wagered. They left with smiles beaming on their faces that only moments ago displayed a riot of emotions - fear, worry, excitement, anticipation, interest.
They left with smiles indeed and a wad of bills. Their winnings.
And everything began that sunny day when the world was burning with excitement.
Gambling got into their system. Gambling wrapped them in her well-polished fingers. Gambling had them by the neck.
Gambling has become one of the most prevalent problems our society has today. It has become so addicting that almost a half of the world's population are crazy about it. Many have gambling problems. But only a few are brave enough to accept that they need help. That their addiction must be put to an end.
Gambling is defined as the wagering of money, or risking something of value in the hopes of winning more than what has been wagered. Gambling comes in all forms. It can include playing on slot machines, with cards, dice, putting a stake on one's favorite sports team, betting on games of skill and so many others. As long as there is money involved and there is hope of winning more than what one has staked, then that is gambling.
People are easily hoodwinked when money is involved. So many dream of what they are going to do when they strike it rich. They fancy themselves owning grand cars and trips around the world when they win the lottery. These people prefer to live in a makeshift world rather than face reality.
Gambling isn't as easy as so many people think it is. One has to beat the odds in every possible way. Beat the odds. You win.
But before you think of trying your luck in gambling, you had better think again. It may be weaving its magic on you at this very moment. But fight the impulse. You're not totally lost in its magic.
Don't follow their story. It is their story. And will remain theirs.
