Ryan has 2 exciting encounters with God to share with you all!

The First Encounter
by Ryan

I am a person who likes to bet and I visit singapore pools website frequently to check up on soccer odds. I am not an addicted gambler, I basically bet for fun, although not in a very small amount.


Two days before England vs. Portugal match, I did some homework on the teams. I evaluated that England will win as the advantages England had was much greater than Portugal. Portugal's main strength was greatly reduced. I had this strong gut feeling that England will win this match and the odds for England to win is very attractive. It seemed like free money to me. Hence, I went straight down to the betting centre because I was afraid the odds would drop drastically. The odds did drop quite a bit in just a few hours and it was 2 days before the match. This does not happen normally, which means a lot of people predicted that England would win the match.



I colored my bet sheet, $100 on England to win and some 4-Digit numbers. While queuing, something strange happened. There's this strong voice from inside me telling me "Don't Buy". I was sure that it's not me; I am not making it up. Following, I got this urge; I crushed my bet sheet and left. I headed to the drinks department and got a pack of milk instead. (I was at Shop N save btw) While queuing to pay, I thought of what I just did. It's so not me. The normal me would be, "SweE! Free $95 coming up, be fast before the odds drop".


I already lost quite a bit during this World Cup and I wanted to recuperate some. But I listened to the voice that spoke to me and chilled. I told Si'er about it and he said it's God voice.


The match result was draw (0-0) and Portugal won the penalty kick. It's like the most impossible thing to happen!

To be continued...

Stay tuned for his second exciting encounter!!!!
