Do you gamble?

[Sharon]

Simple question :P - not asking for you to post individually if you don't want to - just answer the poll (Please).


Edit - Lottery doesn't count. Either does Arcades.

[JackBuddy]

If the lottery counts. Also put the occasional bet on the football.

[Rozi]

Well it depends what you mean by gambling. I'm under 18 so it's not like I can walk into the bookies and place a bet. But when I go to the arcade I alwayyysss gamble, waste all my money :P

[Swastika]

Yeah, i put bets on at the weekend, usually the footy and sometimes boxing and always the grand national when thats on.
Nothing better than putting a daft few quid on a few teams, and the odds for all of them to win are something like 30/1 and winning alot back! :P

[AlexOC]

I get people to put bets on the foooteh for me.

:)

Bet that i usually lose.

:(

[Stryderman]

Yeh, and alot if i end up goin pub i end up putting about 70 quid in the fruity whenever i go. Put in about 30-40 every friday an sat night in butlers and sometimes play poker online.

Dont rly have a problem as i know when to stop, Normally walk away with 90£ more than i start with anyway.

[jackass]

Why does arcades not count? :S

But yeah, I do.

[Swastika]

Aren't arcades just places where you play games?
Its not exactly putting a bet on or something.

Arcade near me has machines where you win £70+, and have to put a hell of a lot in to get to that (or a similar prize, such as a streak).

Arcades are like dance machines, penny machines, win tickets etc i think?

[Swastika]

Yeah but those tickets win you next to nothing, its not exactly decent money like you can get from the bookies? :P

[Stryderman]

Yeh so its not exactly gambling is it lol

Sounds similar.

[brandon]

Yeah I bet on the football every week

I think even though I won 50 quid on Norwich losing by 3 goals lol, I'm like 250 pounds down still.

Should know when to quit really but betting on matches I usually wouldn't care about makes the game more exciting.

[Tintinnabulate]

Apart from the 2p machines, no. It can be a terrible habit and is very addictive. If you ever go Las Vegas, do not take your bank cards. Only the amount you want to spend and your tickets.

[Special]

There isn't enough information

Do you mean gamble as in money, or gamble as in day-to-day decision

Everyone gambles. EG: 'Shall i take my umbrella out today because it might rain'

I gamble in that sence, but for money no

[Swastika]

Lol, i doubt she meant do you take daily life gambles :P

[Pyroka]

I cross the road when the lights are green. As hardcore gambling as you can get.

[Black_Apalachi]

Not really, just the fruity now and again at the pub. Always have a flutter on the National every year though. Can't bet on footy because it's just too unpredictable which is why I love it so much.

Going to Las Vegas when we all hit 21 ;)

Really? Thats hardcore.. occasionally i cross when the lights are flashing red telling me to stop walking!


But generally i don't gamble.

[Snowing]

Can't see how the lottery and arcade machines can't count? The lottery you're still putting your money on the line to attempt to win more, same with arcade machines?

I was going to say yes because I bet on football doing accumulators and other things however it's the exact same thing as the lottery. I give the bookies my money, I select a few things, if they happen I win money and if they don't the bookies keep my money. So for this thread, no.

[MrGazet]

nope,well not for real betting anyways

[Sharon]

My opinion of gambling was Bookies, Sino and probably Lottery and those machines at the Arcade for 18+ - not the dance mat.

Not those '''gambles'' either, as in oh I'll take a chance and not wear a coat ..

[Smits]

If betting on the footy counts then yeh...

[Gibs960]

I gamble at the arcades, and I occasionally ask my mum to put money on the horses :D

What do you play at the arcade? Because i dont think 2p machines count. (used to lvoe them)

[jackass]

Yeah, I gamble in arcades - normally whenever I pass one. So yeah, I do gamble!

[Swastika]

I'd probs only just say the 18+ machines count on gambling in the arcades lol, dance mats - no.

[N!ck]

Yes. I'm a member at 8 casinos and sometimes place some bets on Formula 1 etc. online.

Was in a casino tonight actually. Only about 20 minutes.

[Smits]

All the casino tpe places around here are 21+ well annoying.

I have to stick with sports betting. And i only spend what i can afford to lose so its all good.

[DJ.aqua.]

yes i gamble alot i usally win the most ive ever wone in a day iz about 6 thousand (this doesn't happen that often)
