Share you a story, my secondary schoolmate who love gamble and let's call him "Mr.O". Even in school, this guy would gamble like almost anything. Imagine this, in hari sukan, he managed to gather some students for a bet. Say 100m sprint race, which house from which grade will win etc. Even in chess tournament, he still do the same shit. Now he ended up in overseas, I don't know where but here's why he ran away.

Is he rich? No he just like us, from mid level family, not rich not poor.

After graduated from secondary school, like most of us here we lost contact with some of our schoolmate. and some still be friend with us until the end I think, well you get the point.

On year 2018, I met one of my schoolmate on sepang circuit. He's running a car painting business with his uncle, so we catching up a bit. Then he mentioned Mr. O, then I remember this guy love gamble and I jokingly ask "What he ran a casino in Genting now?". Surprisingly. after graduate he kind of jobless, ended up guarding those illegal slot or mesin kuda as we know. That one gamble he made, a soccer game(I don't know which matches or team). My friend said Mr. O lost huge sum of money, sold almost everything including his car and kapcai bike to cover the lost. His parent found out, force him to move out and work with his aunt in her restaurant(Been there few times when we were in secondary school). That gambling habit still there, same shit but this time he cannot cover the lost. People start coming to find him in his aunt restaurant, even his parent's house. The family cannot tahan, disown him and cast him out. My friend said he heard Mr. O ran to Thailand, Singapore or Australia or maybe still in Malaysia, no one know.

From that story, bet big or small, if you cannot cover the lost, don't do it. My advice is try looking for other hobby, spend your money wisely or on your hobby. Get a gunpla, drone, maybe modify cars, gaming computer or anything but gambling.
