How many spots?

Daily writing prompt
Describe a risk you took that you do not regret.

I made a bet with a friend I know,

How many spots were on that cow,

The spots belonged to a pregnant sow,

So with much aplomb I took a bow,

His confusion was clearly plain to see

So I won on a technicality.

I do not regret playing the stock market (gambling) even though I lost a bit of money.

Gambling

I don’t bet as a rule, and neither do my brothers and sisters as far as I know.Having one parent who let gambling get a little out of control;should we say;it’s not an attractive prospect.

Nevertheless, I signed up to an app(now defunct) that let me play the stock market.I think I invested about £600 and over a period of about five years lost it all.I’m still nor sure it was a scam.

Truthfully, though, it had its ups and downs ,and I enjoyed using it.If I had some spare cash,I’d try it again.But I don’t and so  I haven’t and now it’s a happy memory.

I enjoyed the cut and thrust of the market in my own small way. I suppose I was careful and didn’t risk anything I couldn’t afford.
