Reasons why do kareristas bet?


As one of the racing afficionado or “bayang karerista”, I became curious about the world where I was into. Many questions came up to my mind about this horse racing industry. Each of us kareristas have the reasons why we betted our money for our choice. We all knew that horse racing was a kind of gambling. And gambling is a chance of luck, it’s either win or lose. Some could win and some could lose, but more often we lost. Sabi nga ng isa sa mga nakausap ko; “Mas malaki ang talo kaysa sa panalo ang nanalo lang ay yung mga malalaking tao na may koneksyon sa karera.”
At the OTB (off-track-betting station) in our place, I got to ask some bettors about their opinions and reasons in betting and horse racing. Here are my questions and some of their answers:
A: Kuya/Tatay matagal ka na pong nangangrera? Palagi po bang tumatama? Bakit po kayo tumataya? kahit parati kayong natatalo tumataya pa rin kayo? Bakit po?
Bettor 1:Ah oo matagal na kong nangangarera, Minsan tumatama, minsan talo. Matagal na kong karerista di ka pa pinapanganak. Ewan ko, siguro nagbabakasakali na makatama ng malaki.
Bettor 2: Matagal-tagal na rin, Hindi nga, minsan lang akong tumama, maliit pa. Matigas kasi ulo ko iho walang kadala dala hahaha! Naging libangan ko na rin kasi ang karera nakakatanggal ng stress.
Bettor 3: Medyo matagal na rin naisama lang ako nung katrabaho ko tapos nagtuluy-tuloy na. Hindi naman palagi pero tumatama naman kahit papano. Minsan lang ako matalo kasi di ako masyadong tumataya nangungursanada lang tsaka minsan pag may tip.
Bettor 4: Bago pa lang din, siguro mga 3 months pa lang pinataya kasi ako ng officemate ako tapos tumama kinareer ko na hahaha. Sa ngayon medyo hindi pa naman ako nababawian, nananalo tapos may talo din, Medyo naging dibersyon ko na rin kasi pagkagaling ng office medyo nare-relax ako kapag nakakapanuod ng karera.
Bettor 5: Ah matagal na kong karerista bata, lolo na ako dito. Tumatama din syempre pagalingan na lang sa pagdiskarte. Bakit ako tumataya? Nakahiligan ko na rin ang karera. Alam ko lahat ng sugal pero dito ako mas nag-eenjoy sabi na nga ng iba addict, hahahaha.
Here are some reasons why there are karerista’s and why they bet. To generalize they bet because:
1. diversion
2. looking for fortune
3. gambling
4. hobby
5. addiction
As for myself I bet because of diversion. I wanted to escape from boredom that’s why I bet. And also I wanted to try my luck, baka biglang swertehin di ba?

(5 bettors) + (5 reasons) = horse racing

Naruto

I was in front of my computer and browsing in the net when i saw a certain site that makes me interested. I was an anime lover and love watching anime series on TV especially "Naruto". When i check out the site, I saw some episodes that were never been aired in the TV. So what I did was I watched the episodes at that moment. It seemed like a marathon mode of watching and i really enjoyed it. After that, i told about the site to my friends and invited them to watch the videos also. Now, I didn't wait the episodes anymore on TV because i already knew the episodes that to be aired this following days. Thanks for the site, i really enjoyed watching to it. And there's more, there were other anime videos episodes to that site. So to those who were anime and manga fanatics, check this out... . http://www.crunchyroll.com/naruto

Lambanog

Lambanog is the Filipino term for wine that is locally produced from 100% natural sources. Such examples of natural sources of lambanog are sugar cane, coconut, rice, and “sasa”, a member of the family of palm similar to coconut tree but commonly grow in areas near rivers and swamps. This wine is very popular in the provinces of batangas, laguna, especially in quezon. Mostly people from those provinces have high tolerance to this kind of alcoholic beverages even women. That’s why when you talked about lambanog some will say;” taga quezon ka ba?” “Naku, nakakatakot uminom nyan sobrang tapang!” In infanta quezon, I was first introduced to drink lambanog. I was 2nd year high school that time when I was told by my classmates to give it a try even for a shot or “tagay”. At first, the taste was not so good to me, parang ang tapang ng lasa. In manila I used to drink beers and some hard liquor when we have special occasions like New Year and Christmas but this lambanog was different. There’s s...

Let me give some tips and pointers to consider on buying a pc...... When buying a pc, you must first set a budget for that. Typical amount ranges from P15,000 to P25,000 depending on what specs you want to have, if its for gaming, educational or business matters. Once you have figured it out, now its time to canvass the parts. Some buyers prefer to buy a pc in a package deal simply because it saves time and money.

In a package deal, pc parts were already fixed and installed unless you want to change it, another charge is next t...
