Winning increases confidence and courage increases risk.
From Friday morning to Saturday night, my betting journey started with $10 and ended with $75!
Withdrawing $45, I minimized my risk. The thought that even if I lose, I'm still in profit makes you even bolder... and a bolder brain doesn't work right!
The difference between the bets I took when I minimized the risk and the bets I took when I got brave and increased the risk is like the slopes of two mountains. The sun on one side and snowflakes on the other. I'd rather sweat in the heat than be cold in the cold.
I woke up on Sunday morning with 30 dollars in the safe. After a few betting attempts, the wins and losses balanced each other out and I still had 33 dollars in the safe.
Until the Braga - Casa Pia match, which was completed a few hours ago, my bank was standing firmly on its feet. The away team took the advantage in the 23rd minute, scoring 0 - 1.
It was a big mistake to watch the match live, because it was the only match I watched all day! It was so obvious that the goal was going to come at any moment that I bet on another goal in the 50th minute at odds of 1.27, risking the entire bankroll!
33 x 1,27 = 41,96
33 dollars risked to make $8.96! The minutes passed quickly as the price for bravery was to be paid. In the 74th minute, my belief that the bet would pay off was reinforced because the hosts Braga won a penalty.
Guess what happened? Of course, the penalty was missed!
As the saying goes, it can't be helped!
At that moment, I realized that the equivalent of a missed penalty would be a lost safe. While I was struggling with the pain of the lost safe, I decided to watch a movie, but I was in no condition to choose a movie. I opened the first movie that came my way!
I could have thought of it as the amount lost from the money earned for the lost safe and cheered myself up. However, since I see every penny earned as deeded to me, even if I have lost from the gain; it hurts me!
I thought that watching the Spanish film La Herida, released in 2013, would distract me, but it turned out to be as empty as a lost safe.
It was interesting that someone who radiates goodness around him is constantly doing evil to himself and has a strange personality. Although I did not like the movie in terms of arousing my sense of curiosity, I could not break away from the movie and watched it to the end.
It was contrary to many rules of life, but it was quite nice that a female employee working in a patient transport vehicle treated all patients as relatives and felt sad after each patient lost.
It was both strange and thought-provoking to see the same person extinguishing cigarettes on her own body, scratching her leg and arm muscles with a razor blade, and feeling relief after the blood flowed.
It's even more strange that the movie, which I didn't like and didn't understand exactly what it was about, was nominated for 27 awards and won 15!
It's also strange that the movie has a high score!
What I saw in the audience comments,
"the movie was amazing
"must watch''
"this is the first time I'm reviewing a movie, watch it without thinking''
It's even weirder with comments like that!
Or maybe I got weird after the lost case and started to see everything weird!
I'd better go to sleep without reading any articles today... because I'm likely to find what I read strange too.
For the first time in a long time I had such an unproductive Sunday, not only financially but in every sense.
When I was little, my mother used to tell me that if you want to forget a bad day and put it behind you, go to sleep so that the time will pass quickly. I think I will follow her advice!
When you're trying to create a life built on dreams and reality hits you like a hard slap in the face, you're thrown around like a drunkard who's dazed or drunk to the bottom of the bottle. It has nothing to do with the bet or the movie.
I told you, I have to sleep and put this bad day behind me!
Is it really 33 dollars lost? Or is it really 45 dollars won?
Or that the movie was bad?
I don't care about any of that!
As long as I eat, drink and know myself!
Good night everyone and have a good weekday! As good as it gets!
I would also feel that way if ever I also lose that kind of amount, since it is already big for me. However it is a great way to forget what happened. Watch movies to divert your attention and sleep to have a relax mind.
