I got the beating equivalent to the fiat I lost but I tried my best to convince my parents I wasn't lieing.
You may not have to put all your fiat money of $45, in that bet, even though you have been awarded $8 in winnings, it may be a trap, to increase your bet, because you have to buy food to take home, if it was me, of course I would have bought food first, the rest of it I just put at stake in gambling games, so I don't have to lie to my parents.
Anyone who has experienced something like you they will lie and say something to say when they get home, because there is no food to take home, let alone your parents, I will be angry if that happens, but if I lie a little, maybe there is still consideration for my parents' anger, you save yourself from anger, because you lost the gamble, with your actions accidentally, a family will be hungry at that time, there is no food you bring.
