Betting in a dream warns against recklessness and people who want to exploit you.

What happens in the dream

  • You bet at a gaming table: someone will use crooked means to get money out of you
  • You bet on races: avoid new ventures; enemies are trying to distract you from honest business
  • You make a bet with someone: you will suffer from your own rashness

How you felt

  • Excitement: the lure of risk
  • Uncertainty: the feeling of gambling your future on a coin toss

Ask yourself

  • What risk am I tempted to take?
  • Am I letting chance decide for me?
