A netizen shared how he took a loan of $1,000 from his friend lying that he needed to offset some loans that he took from the bank.

But in actual fact he just wanted to go all in on a bet with money that his friend loaned him, and it paid off.

Here is the story:

“I’ve been a believer in the supernatural for the best part of my life.

During the Hungry Ghost Month, I went and got some jewelry spelled with black magic.

It was an eye opener to me because I started having all these strange experiences at night.

I would hear footsteps in my home and when I went to check out the noise, nobody was there.

I would see shadows in the corner of my eyes and when I turned to look, there would be no one.

But I know that something is around me.

My dreams were also starting to become very vivid and I had this recurring dream of being run over by a car.

The accident killed me and my spirit stood over my body, watching as the paramedics tried to revive me but failed.

There was a hooded figure inside the car that ran me over and I looked at the license plate of the vehicle, it was 8885.

Now in Chinese beliefs, the number 8 supposedly means “huat”.

I then woke up from the dream and didn’t pay much attention to it, but in the subsequent nights that followed, I had many different dreams that felt very real.

The one thing that remained constant in these dreams were the appearance of the numbers “8885”.

I knew that something is telling me to buy the numbers.

And so I went to my friend and asked him for a loan of $1,000, I lied to him that I needed to pay some bank loans that I took and I would return the loan to him the next month.

I wanted to go all in on my bet, because I knew that I was being told to buy that number and there was a good chance “they” would help me win.

So I put on my black magic necklace and went to a nearby Singapore Pools outlet to place my bet.

I wanted to buy 8885 iBet, which would mean that even if the numbers jumped, like if the numbers came out 5888 or any orders instead of 8885, I would still win some money.

But just as I was about to shade the iBet box on the betting paper, I was scratched by my necklace and got distracted, forgetting to shade the box.

My necklace cord is one of those cheap generic ones that you could get for like $1 at Bugis Street, so the quality isn’t good; but the main thing is the pendant.

And so with the $1,000 that I loaned from my friend, and by chance of circumstances, I placed an Ordinary bet of $1,000 Big, on the number 8885, meaning the number had to open in the order that I bet.

It had to be 8885 or nothing.

The following day, I checked the 4D results and found out that the number had came out as one of the starter prizes.

It had a payout of $250 for every $1 bet, so for $1,000 I had won $250,000.

I repaid the loan that I took from my friend, I gave him another $1,000 and told him the truth about what I did with the money that he loaned me.

I spent about a few thousands of dollars burning offerings to hungry ghosts and donated some money to charity as well to give thanks.

If you don’t believe in the supernatural, I hope now you do.”

Editor’s note: Bro, $1k on a bet is a bit too crazy for me ah. I don’t think I have the b@lls to do that lol.

And also word of advice, please don’t dabble in black magic, it always comes around and whatever you “get” will need to be “returned”.
