Tendency is that every one of us at some point of time in our life has put a wager against personal friends, colleagues and even our own family members on even the most insignificant things in our daily lives.
Example like this is common; Ah Beng and Ah Seng were both smoking 30 metres away from the main entrance of Suntec Tower One when Ah Beng said, "I'll bet with you $10 that Man U will win the match tonight against Arsenal". In reply Ah Seng, exhaling smoke out of his nose, raised his voice, "Onz lah, I say Arsenal sure win one. Whoever lose, tomolo must pay har!".
We may think nothing about little funs like this. The fact is, these two gentlemen just committed a serious offence, according to the police that is. And they are liable on conviction to a fine of not more than $5,000 and/or imprisonment for a term not more than 6 months.
According to a spokesman from the police force, ALL FORMS of betting are illegal UNLESS they are promoted, organised, administered or operated by Singapore Pools, its officers and authorised agents. This is really steady-poon-pee-pee....
I think we should all go play MONOPOLY instead.
