“ My friend´s hobby”

My dear friend loves betting money. He is always thinking in the part of the year when he will take a break and go to Las Vegas to bet the money he has saved. He even is a VIP client at the Bellagio so they pay him for a room and plane tickets every year in order for him to keep going there. That week is the best of the year for my friend. The other part of the year he is having fun betting with my other friends upon football, basketball, baseball, he could even bet upon the weather channel´s prediction or what will the next car´s color will be when we´re in his house watching cars. He really has a lot of fun but that kind of fun hasn´t done much good on him. When he doesn´t have money he starts to sell whatever he has in his house, and I mean whatever he sees first and considers it of value. My brother´s professional pin pong table was bought from my friend in an impulse of betting. My drums, which are pretty expensive, were also of him back in the day. He told me that I will use them more and that was his excuse for selling the drums really cheap for me. Anyway, imagine all the things he has lost because of his urge to bet if I´m only explaining what he has selled really to cheap to my brother and me. I remember going to casinos with him and the worst parte is that he always loses or at least every time I´ve seen him bet he always ends un wit less than a hundred pesos and that is because he has toe at something. More than one time his parents went out on vacation and he asked them money to go on vacation with his friends also. He thought “If I bet the money my parents gave me I´ll go with a lot of money on vacation”. When he finished losing all the money he had to stay at his house and even lie to his parents that he was having fun with his friends. My dear friend is such a good person in any other aspect in life but has this necessity that has gotten him into a lot of problems and I hope he realizes that one day and starts saving up some money for hi more at least spend it in a way it lasts more such as a concert or else.
