Opinion

Two kinds of bettors

THE EAR - The Philippine Star

IN FAIRNESS. A taxi operator from Lahug bet P2,000 on Tim Bradley that could have won for him P6,000 had Bradley won against Manny Pacquiao and Bradley did win. Upon winning in his bet, he went home with his winnings of P6,000. Early the following morning he returned the P6,000 to his winning compare. “Lainan ko modawat sa nadaug kong pusta kay klaro man gyud tong pilde and gipustahan ko,” the taxi operator said.

DIFFERENT CASE. On the other hand, a bettor who lost in his bet on Manny Pacquiao refused to pay the winning bettor because, in his opinion, Manny actually won. “Daghang klase sa sugarol ning atong dapit,” someone was heard saying as he broke into laughter.
