I never thought this would happen; my best friend, someone I thought I could trust, didn’t want to honour his bet.
We had made a bet months ago, and it seemed like he was willing to pay up when I won. Now, here we are, and it’s clear that he doesn’t want to go through with it.
Made a bet on a football match and he lost
It all started when we were talking about the upcoming football match. He said he was sure his team was going to win, but I disagreed. I thought my team was the clear favourite, but he was adamant that his team would win. So, we made a bet: if his team won, I’d buy him dinner; if my team won, he’d buy me dinner.
The match came and went, and as it turned out, my team won. I was ecstatic, and so was he – at least, that’s what he said. After the match, I reminded him of the bet, and he said he’d buy me dinner as he had promised.
Fast forward a few weeks, and I had made plans for dinner. I was looking forward to it, and I had even picked out where I wanted to go.
Suddenly ‘flip prata’ because don’t want to treat me
When I asked him if he was still up for it, he said he was, but then he quickly changed his tune. He said he had been really busy lately and didn’t have the time or money to take me out to dinner.
I was disappointed. We had made a bet, and I thought he would want to honour it. But then I started to get angry. He had clearly gone back on his word, and I didn’t think it was right.
I told him that he had made a promise, and he should stick to it.
In the end, he lan lan but was super sulky
He eventually agreed to take me out to dinner, but it was clear he didn’t want to. He was grumpy the whole time, and he was clearly regretting the bet. I was so disappointed in him. I thought he was a better friend than this.
It was a bad ending to what had started out as a fun bet. My friend had gone back on his word, and it ruined the whole experience for me.
I was so disappointed that he would do something like this. I thought I could trust him, but I was wrong.
From now on, I’m going to be a lot more careful when making bets with people.
