The ocassional source of income

Here the ocassional source of income i'm talking about is betting. Especially to the chinese, betting has become a part of their routine. Every mondays, wednesdays, saturdays and sundays, huge crowd will form at every Singapore Pools outlet where bets for 4D are placed. Even though the odds for striking 4D is generally 1/10000, many people are still willing to put in a "bet of hope".

More recently, punters are betting on World Cup matches. Again, every match day (which is almost everyday!) scores of punters will be looking to score with their bet. They gather at Singapore Pools' outlets and will analyse the odds displayed on the 3 lcd screens hoping for a JP (JP= Jackpot means win the bet, if lose the bet punters will term it Claypot).

Betting is one of preferred past-times of Singaporean (perhaps when they strike 4D ot Toto), giving them an ocassion windfall. However, everyone out there please bet with what you can afford to lose. DO NOT let betting become an obsession.
