In school, work or other occasions, we are often faced with having to sit in on multiple lectures that at times can seem draining. The reason for this is because our brains are not active as they usually are when we are out and about experiencing all different sorts of stimuli and are suddenly slowed down. While we should be listening attentively we need to create a reason to do so. If a subject or topic is easy to follow perhaps you have no problem following, but if it is the other way around then you need to create something to focus on.

A good way to do this is to pick up on words and count them. In Canada, many college students make wagers with each other during class to see how many time a professor will say a certain phrase or word. Not only is this fun and keeps the class interesting, it also causes those involved to listen more attentively as they want to make sure they are not missing out on the action and end up losing. Finding a friend or a classmate to do this in perhaps otherwise uninteresting classes is a great way to make friends, stay focused, and even make money.

Friends also do this with each other at church sermons in Canada. The idea is to make a bet as to how many times the priest or pastor will speak a phrase and then tally up the results at the end. You may find that certain words are spoken more often then you thought and because each sermon is different the chances of you winning are always up in the air, making it a great scenario for your gambling activity as well as getting some spiritual counseling on the side.

This technique can be used in public lectures or political campaigns. Ever get sick of all those Prime Minister debates and ongoing ads for local city officials? Why not make a wager with your friends as to how many times they will say words like “safe” and “prosperity” etc.? Doing this will help with the annoyance of seeing these ads and you will feel inspired to partake in what you are seeing rather than feel its boring or frustrating.

For texts, you can also bet on how many times a word such as “the” or “it” will appear in a text, such as a chapter or page. When looking for these words you are teaching yourself to become attentive and find information from the text that you otherwise may have ignored. It may be better to focus on more complex words to achieve this however but the choice is up to you. If you can combine gambling and learning then this is a win-win scenario.

Words also appear in signs, instruction manuals, newspapers and magazines. On the media side of things, you can make wagers with your friends about what kind of words or topics will appear in the paper the following day and count them as well. There is essentially no end to the way words can be used and how they are used, so there is also an infinite number of ways you can gamble on them. The art of betting is not limited to high bets and large platforms, and instead can be enjoyed from everyday subjects, experiences and encounters.
