Gambling and honesty with change, sentence 1
Picture Uncle Mick betting £20 every Saturday: over 52 weeks that is £1,040, and if he wins £200 back he has still lost £840; "I'll win big one day" is exactly the feeling gambling feeds on.
Who acts: Uncle, Gambling, I · What happens: picture, bet, win back, lose, win, be · To what, where: Uncle, feeling · Speech: someone speaks here
