Whenever i remember my moments of been a sports freak, it gives me this innermost peace. I've done crazy and weird things all in the name of been a sports fan. Some backfired negatively while some came out successful. Others happened like i did and did not want them to happen. So many controversial situations that can make me extend @mikey 10 minute freewrite to an hour freewrite..... 😃 lol......
However, we all have our stories to tell, so many that i wouldn't want to forgo this for that. Will a combo be possible? I asked my self while i dare to send my finger tips on a 10 minute errand.
I've had so many great moments as a sport fan but the greatest of them all that's still fresh on my memory is the day i wanted to win both ways which seemed practically impossible to some extent. Finding my self in a situation where there is a probability of having a win-win situation was the best feeling ever.
It was the Manchester united vs Barcelona April 2019 first leg champions league encounter at Old Trafford. As a fan of the Red Devils, i knew the match isn't going to be an easy one for us even after escaping Ligue 1 giants "PSG" in a tremendous 1-3 away comeback. I've always avoided staking bets on my team to avoid sentimental analyses. Down within me, i know we are loosing the game so i respected myself and took Barcelona on a straight win. Despite been a fan of Manchester united, i so much love Lionel Messi and I'm a big fan of him too.
I went to a pub to view the game. As i sat early into the game, i was in a controversial mood. i wanted my team as well as Messi to win the game but we all know that's an impossible outcome in a match. The only favourable situation here is a draw. Just then i remembered i had a betting ticket that says Barcelona for the win......of course money before pleasure i said to myself. Twelve minutes into the game, Luke Shaw scored an own goal that gave Barcelona the lead in the early minute. I was happy and sad at the same time but nevertheless, i had to bear it......... We continued watching the game but the Barcelona fans around wouldn't allow us hear a thing at that point..... They all kept shouting Messi this, Messi that... I became furious withing me, i wanted to brag that barca will draw the match then something struck me from inside again..... My bet!!!!!😥😂😂😢.
The noise and bragging never subdued, then i asked a close by opposing fan to go on a bet with me. Happily, he agreed on my term. I handicapped Manchester Utd 2 goals ahead to win the game but the profusely happy lad, without wasting time agreed and placed his gamble. Within me, i was scared but i had to just do something. my friend were telling me not to do such. "If the Catalans can have a lead that early, imagine what can happen during the rest of the game", they told me. I stood my grounds praying hearty.
You all know how it ended😃😁😀😁😁😀😃...... But for those who had no idea, the game ended Manchester united 0-1 Barcelona... That moment was a blast for me as i won my bet at both places. Both team won me nice and cool cash on different grounds. How awesome can that be?????????? A beautiful evening i am not ready to forget in a hurry!!!
