To dream of making a wager, signifies that you will resort to dishonest means to forward your schemes.
If you lose a wager, you will sustain injury from base connections with those out of your social sphere.
To win one, reinstates you in favor with fortune.
If you are not able to put up a wager, you will be discouraged and prostrated by the adverseness of circumstances.
