This actually happened in the town where I live, after the final match of the basketball game between Cavs and Golden State. That night there was a heavy traffic, just when the jeepneys are nearing the town. The driver shared that it was because in front of a restaurant , investigation is being done. A man was stabbed several times and gunned down. Thus, policemen are there, doing their investigation. The next day , it was in the news that the businessman was stabbed by his friend whom he bet against. His bet was for the Cavs. Now, since the Cavs did not win, it means he has to give his friend the bet of U$300 they agreed upon. But he didn’t give him the US$300.00. Thus, out of anger, his friend killed him, while he was walking in the street. Have you heard of any news like this, wherein a person was killed because of his non-payment of bet?

Precisely. Gamblers can kill and go crazy especially when they lost or wasn't paid like this case. Just like the latest incident at Resorts World.

Because I work as reporter so I confirmed there have been many incidents like this before including local basketball and especially cockfighting.

So it also happens there in your place. But I think things like this happen in all places now.

That is so stupid that's why you never go gambling with some one. In fact, don't do it at all.

True. Gambling always lead to bad things. And this one proved it to be true. Just like what happened at Resort World - Manila.

Precisely. They promised each other a bet of $300.00. But then, the loser didn;t give him the money. It cost his life.

Yes, that's in the news always. Someone gets a heart attack while watching Pacman fight. But is there any incident like this also in your place?

@SIMPLYD in the city proper, but it was not due to the fight per se, but it was hot in their house, so that added to the attack. my lady, the fight of Pacman and Horn will be tomorrow. i hope nobody will succumb to heart attack again. for me, when i watch, i don't get very excited. i separated my heart (emotions)from my eyes.

I've heard it can get violent when a person's team doesn't win. It's so sad the person was killed because of it. Now he'll be in prison for the rest of his life because of it. Tragic.

And the friend he killed also lost his life for not paying the lost bet.

It is very sad indeed. Imagine, they were friends and this happened just because of an unpaid bet. Well, the other one should have kept his word so this didn't happen.

Very horrible. That is why if you cannot pay, then don't bet.

"...his friend killed him..." It's difficult to believe they were friends. Life should have a major value than U$300. Now, I am sure he never will get his money.

A friend as bad as an enemy. Pity he had to find out that way - because I am sure he didn't die instantly.

He was stabbed first as others said then was gunned to finally kill him. But there are witnesses. We don't know if the friend who killed him was caught already.
