My Funny Experience Trying To Double My Money by Supreme145(m): 8:21pm On Aug 02, 2023
I finally got the much-awaited salary alert early this morning, I have been very broke with bills choking me left, right, and center. I heaved a sigh of relief as I proceeded to check the message, ah finally I will get a breather at least for a couple of weeks, or so I thought.

My smiling face soon turned into a frown as I stared at the credit alert. I just received 20k instead of 70k, I developed a migraine immediately. I quickly chatted up my boss to complain and he nonchalantly told me there was no money for now so I should make do with the one he sent. Omo Nigeria come dey me like Ghana.

I took out a pen and paper and started writing out the most pressing bills:
I needed to pick up my laptop from the technician and that alone would cost 10k. I work from home so I need the laptop.
A friend of mine sold his television to me some months back because he got a bigger one, I wasn't interested in buying the TV because wetin I no fit afford no dey hungry me but he insisted I should keep it and pay him whenever I am ready. Toh...i kuku carry television dey use. Now he has been on my neck to pay, I promised to give him at least 10k part payment if I receive my salary, I don even tell am make he past aza...hehehe.
There is nothing at home even a cube of maggi and gas is finished so I need to restock the kitchen.
Since I work on a part-time basis as a web designer and the job is not stable, I already saw it coming so I already made plans to design a blog and a portfolio website so that I start blogging which will probably start bringing income in maybe few months time. I already estimated 15k for both domain and hosting.

Light bill has been waiting including other small debts hanging around. Now all I had on me was just 20k so I had to devise a way to increase the money somehow at least to take care of 50% of my bills. I thought long and hard and came up with a plan.

I remembered that I have an old sporty bet account that I created some time ago but didn't use, I dusted it and got ready for my money-doubling journey. Hehehe I don't like gambling but it looked like the last resort in this case. It was a 50:50 chance, either I win or I lose though I sincerely wished for the former.

I first of all repaid the 2k I was owing my network provider then recharged another 1k so I could get data, I was left with 17k. I transferred 2k to the bet app and staked on 2 games with a potential win of 5k. I exited the app and got busy with other stuff only the check the game later and discovered that I lost the bet. A team with a 90% probability of winning conceded a penalty in the 7th minute and could only managed to draw the match after over 15 shots on target. Omo I enter into panic mode, I had just 15k left and I never even chop, what do I do? Do I chase or cut my loss?

After much deliberation and brainstorming, I decided to go all in, all die na die, if I perish I perish. If Easter a woman can have such faith why can't me a whole man do the same. Okay naa there was only one way to find out. I funded another 5k in the betting account, this time I staked on live games playing 1:1 in the 81st minute to draw. I kept refreshing the app with my heart racing, 90+ and this game no gree finish ahhhh. 93+ I refreshed and saw 1:2, Jesus oooo a scream escaped my lips πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ I kept muttering Jesus, Jesus, Jesus...why why why. I quickly checked two different live scores to be sure it wasn't a nistake, my eyes πŸ‘€ were blinking 15 times per second, I couldn't believe what I just witnessed.

Luckily for my the second game entered but I won just 2900, I cut my losses and hurriedly sent it to my bank account and deleted the app immediately, apparently sports betting is not for me at all. I rushed to a nearby POS and withdrew the remaining money before I am tempted to try again. On my way back home my younger sister called and billed me 4k and it was for something very urgent, I told her I could only afford 2k which I sent to her.

I proceeded to nearby restaurant to eat and returned home with 10k without the faintest idea on how to use it. I already decided to tell my friend to come and carry his TV, after all it's been for fancy since my sub finished weeks back. This is going to be a really long month.

Thanks for reading guys.

Don't return the television. It is very important and to buy a new will be very much expensive. Just tell him what happened with respect to your salary payment and ask for more time to pay the part payment.

Life of a man no easy at all

Many big thru these month in month outs, I remember when I had to quit job and go back to school, Omo my eyes Pepe

Some days nothing to eat, no money to even buy toothpaste or take bike to school, if you even manage to school na for empty stomach and no hope of what you will eat when you get back

Man went thru all of these and was stil able to come out with a cheerful and smiling face every single day, brr it was funny

It’s like burning from inside but you look so cool outside, that situation can mess up your psyche and mental health

May we all triump and afford the things we want when we want it

Well,as for sports betting,the earlier lots of us realize that you can't usually win a bet when you're in a critical time of debts,the better for us cheesy. Personally cha,I don forget Betting for now...But may return when the EPL resumes cheesy.
