Lucky Bets

What does it mean to be lucky?

Many gamblers see themselves this way.

But what happens when the tables turn?

The results can be devastating.

 

Whether you are betting on slots,

Blackjack, horse racing, or sports

You should be careful.

Never lose more than you can afford.

 

There are always the enticements to bet big.

But you should stick to your plan.

This is a lesson a wise gambler knows.

Don’t be swept up by the mood at the racetrack.

 

There are stories of players who have won.

It may be hundreds or thousands of dollars.

Yet, it’s known that the House is often the winner.

Many carelessness and recklessness players

Don’t prevail when it comes to betting

 

Remember most people are betting to have fun.

So, don’t let your bets bankrupt you.

Betting may be a major risk you are taking.

Remember, try your best to control this pastime

This enjoyment may well turn into a habit

That you may greatly wish to kick

It was realized in Isaiah 7:9, “if you do not stand firm in faith, you shall not stand at all.” Included in this text are essays of topics on the keys for living well. Life began in Genesis 2:7 when “the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.”   From that time people faced challenges, trials, and tribulations. “For the gate is narrow and the road is hard that leads to life, and there are few who find it” (Matthew 7:14).   There is hope despite these admonitions.
