Betting on current events

- The Ear -
November 22, 2011 | 12:00am

MAKALARGA O DILI. Betting is no longer limited to Pacquiao fights! An Ear informer shared that he knew of some people who placed bets, albeit in small amounts on last week’s action-packed fight between the Supreme Court and DOJ Secretary Leila de Lima. “Nagpusta-anay oy kung makalarga ba gyud si GMA. Naay tag P20, P50, naa pud P100,” said the informer.

SUSPENSE.

The Ear informer said those who placed their bets on GMA being able to leave the country even got excited when she went to the airport but were disappointed when she was not able to leave. “Nalingaw ko oi. Nagsige lang sila tutok sa balita aron makahibalo kung unsa nay nahitabo,” he said.
