IF YOU MUST LIE, BE BRIEF

The first leg Champions league semi final between Bayern and Madrid was a very tough match to predict even though the German machines were in their home.

Emma told me and showed me his 9ja bet ticket. He stake home to win and over 1.5, I saw it clearly. He bet it 20000 naira. He is to win 85000 naira if it plays as he bet it. It was time for the match. We went together with the thought in his heart that Bayern will win and over 1.5
We were inside, he was so happy with how they were playing Madrid from the beginning of the match to scoring their first goal by Kimmich. He jumped up and hold me and said " I told you to bet this match with me you didn't"
I told him don't worry let's wait till the end of 90 minutes and see. Marcelo and Asensio made him cried that night for losing 20000 naira.

He got home and told other friends that it was away win he bet it. I drew his head close to my mouth and whisper to his ear and told him

If you must lie be brief.
