gambling is a naughty habit

the problem with uncertainty when it comes to soccer is that everthing is uncertain. i was uncertain about the portugal match...thinking "hey..portugal will probably win. question is by how many goals. they'll probably score 1 and play defence." so when the odds were portugal give 1 1/2 i figured i'd just take angola and eat the 1 1/2 hoping that portugal will do exactly as i predicted. then my father lah my brother lah and everything else was screaming portugal portugal. 15 minutes before the game i changed my mind and decided to take portugal instead. look how that turned out for me. crap. during the second half of the match i was so pissed off with portugal that i was secretly hoping that angola would win just to screw with them. i didn't care about my money anymore. i just wanted revenge.

anyway...moral of the story is...make a decision and stick to it. if you're uncertain don't bet. better still...don't bet at all.
