Luckier in Internet Bingo (Maybe)

I wasn't a big fan of games of chance. I admit, when it comes to investing or risking my hard-earned money, I chicken out. But, for the past years, I feel like my luck has changed and I've even won a couple of raffles, internet bingo (click here) and online poker games. So, my whole outlook on my luck has completely shifted.

I remember the first time I gambled. I was probably 10 years old back then. My nanay gave me 20 pesos to buy anything I want. On my way to my favorite stationery store (I was addicted to collecting those pretty papers and envelopes), I saw this saklaan near our home. I was quite familiar with how it was played because of my dad, so I squeezed my way in and found that everyone else were betting the same amount I had in my hand. Without thinking twice, I placed my money on one of those hari ng bastos cards and hoped I win.

I left that place with about 400 pesos in my hand. Yes, I won! I can still remember that exhilarating feeling of winning something out of pure luck. When my nanay learned about it, she scolded me and took everything. I think she saw how my happy face turned into a frown that she decided to give me back 100 pesos. I guess she understood how glad I felt for winning something that big. It was my first time to get hold of money that amounted to over Php 100.

Fast forward to 2012, I still haven't played in a casino (I have this listed on my bucket list). I did last year with some bloggers, but it was all for pure fun and we got our chips for free. I admit, I still get this feeling that with all my recent winnings in genuine online raffles. My friends have insisted that I might be lucky and blessed enough to win the lottery. Wishful thinking, you might say, but for now, I guess, I'd have to stick with games of chance over the internet.

Maybe I'm luckier in internet bingo.
