"Lucia once had the idea for it. Now I think she is around 50 years old. It was she who introduced the rules that remained childlike and youthful, and to which we can even go with our questions today. She has us also organized three of our five betting rooms. We look up to her like a goddess! She has also written a book about the betting children. For us it is a kind of Bilbel! "

"For God's sake, you're not a sect, are you?"

"Oh no, we don't force people to believe in any foolish beliefs! We simply maintain old traditions and guard our own world, of which I am especially very proud!

I was about nine ... was I nine? ... yes, I think so when I first heard about this thing. I was little and didn't understand it and thought it was totally crazy. I mean, listen to that ... bets that go so deep that you put really important things at risk, such as: B. ... hm ... I can't think of anything suitable at the moment ...At eleven I was confronted with it for the second time, through my ... boyfriend. "

"Chrum, chrum"

Don't react, Ann, don't get upset, she closed her eyes, turned her head away from this person, opened them again and went on: "His name was Patrick and he had made a bet on a soccer game, with the stake of a new child for his gang If you place someone as a bet, you have to find him straight away or you fly. ", she lowered her voice," At that time, pureblood gangs were very popular, which was a problem. The leader of his gang wanted out get rid of the girls little by little for this reason. Patrick had lost the bet, back then. New bets were made on how long it would take to find a competitor. He wanted to please his boss of course and gave him information that would not take him long Convince a child he knew who was reliable to join the gang.The boss, gorgeous as he was, took advantage of this by tricking some girls into believing their tips were 100% wrong and thus flying out of the gang. I was very fond of Patrick and that's why I persuaded his boss with a secret bet that to this day nobody knew I could join. Three girls flew. You still hate me profoundly today! Well, from then on I was Patrick's protégé. I have to admit it was ... "

"What the hell is a contest?"

"Wh ...? Oh sorry, I forgot, well, a competitor is the child who got into betting through a betting child. Mei ..."

"I only hear betting, betting, betting!"

"Most of the time it comes to the corridor in which his - we call him sponsor - is. Patrick was also one - namely mine. Patrick is my sponsor. He made me do it, so I'm his pupil!"

"Do I understand that correctly: you, those who make bets, call yourselves betting children?""Yes"

"And if someone loses a bet, does he have to bring a new child into your clique ...?"

"Well, well, it all started once in a clique ... it has long been something much bigger!

You probably know that ... when you bet, you have to determine a bet! This bet can be that you get a new child excited to bet. The one who brings in a new person is the child's sponsor. The child, that's the protégé ... If the protégé is not trusting enough, then it is entirely possible that the sponsor, like the protégé, has been kicked out of an entire galaxy. Should i continue? "These sentences were adorned with extremely theatrical gestures.

"Please, but hurry up!"

"Yes, and there I was as a protégé. I won my first bet. It gave me such an incredible feeling of happiness that I wanted more of it! The bet was about a classmate and that she had a better grade than one two wrote.It was true and I received my first 50 - then still - Pfennig! About a month later, Patrick himself made sure that our already too small gang dissolved, I was angry, broke up with him and tried my luck with a girl gang. We were together for two and a half months, quite a long time, for being so young. He ran after me, didn't want it to be over between us, but respect for my gang kept him from doing great deeds. Wasn't that a nice German sentence? "

"Yes, but why did Peter, P ... P ... P ..., whatever his name is, have any respect for this gang of girls?"

"Patrick! In my first all-girl gang there were many top animals and they all have a terrific influence on everything easy! That's why it's not easy to become one. I just wonder why I made it into the clique."
