Daredevil Risk-taker
I remember my friend’s response when I asked him if he is
gambling – “I told you and I bet you,
I’m not a gambler.”
It took me a few seconds to get it.

In a gambling sense, wagering of money or something of material
value placing them to a gambling den, sport events or betting games and to ‘holy
place’ called casino to gain more money or prizes is the foremost intent of the
bettor.
In this scheme where odds are defining matter to roll the dice
or spin a roulette in your favor-- on the winning side, you must maintain your
pace in a triumphant momentum regardless the weight of the stake.

While on the other end, meaning on the losing edge, tears are
the familiar stuff. From there, you want to overcome the bad luck by betting
more to promptly recover your lost fortune, the bigger the betting, the more bitter
the lost, the more devastating the effect to your life.
That’s why you fervently pray to 'god of gambler' to throw
the lucky ace in your favor. While
you’re becoming a religious icon in praying, you would also become a good
mathematician, fearless forecaster, feng-shui master and a daredevil risk
taker.
You start to compute for the probability, the percentage of
winning, bigger chances of gaining, by all factors affecting your gaming like the
history of your shots, the mistakes you made, the bad omen you noticed,
the weather outside, your lucky clothes, your hairstyle, the stroke of your
hands, your amulets, etc.
You want your money to multiply, triplicate or carry on
infinitely, while the odds allow you to win once, lose twice, and weep
forever.
It is addictive, when you tried it once, you will try it again
and again, regardless the outcome -- win or lose, then you will be hooked into the
system continuously until you broke.

In my humble point of view, rather engaging in this game of chances instead focus to investments where your time and money will convert into increasing value and wealth such as:
In my humble point of view, rather engaging in this game of chances instead focus to investments where your time and money will convert into increasing value and wealth such as:
1. Putting
your money in the bank –
A Money Market Placement and Time Deposit are good options to
yield interest though small profit is earned but will escalate as time gone by.
2. Buying
a real estate property –
Wherein appreciation in value is much
better factor than depreciation of property, try to focus on this venture.
3. Establishing
business of your expertise/love-
Your time and money is worth consuming for when you love what you’re doing especially in making money through business
you know enough and love to manage.
4. Using
your time to enhance your knowledge-
Read books, play ‘mind games’, and
other useful stuffs to cultivate your mind.
And if you want to escalate to a higher level, try the post-graduate
school - masteral (MBA) or doctorate (Ph.D, depends on your academic expertise), if you already graduated from
college.
I'd like to give the credit and appreciation to my friend as his
statement gave me an idea and flickered to my mind to write this instantly.
