Big loss in "Dream Match" bet

- The Ear -

ALL A FRONT. Many gamblers who betted on Oscar de la Hoya bewailed their sorry loss when it was evident during the “Dream Match” between Manny Pacquiao and Oscar de la Hoya that the “Golden Boy” was a mere shell of his former glorious self. A bank employee betted P10,000 on De la Hoya. When he lost, he scratched his head and said, “Nailad kong De la Hoya da! Huyang na man diay kaayo ni siya.”

BIG LOSS. The Ear heard that a group of security guards collectively betted P12,000 of their hard-earned money on the Mexican fighter against other employees of a national government agency. A pawnshop owner also betted P200,000 on Oscar de la Hoya. Several residents of a squatter’s area took his bet as they solidly believed their Pinoy idol will win. The Ear informer said, “Daghan kaayong bugoy nga puwerteng lipaya kay daog sila sa pusta.”
