Any gamblers on here, I'm on a bit of a roll I won £850 on the footy on Tuesday night and £550 last night, new Gaz coil overs ordered and adjustable spring plates later, happy days
I used to be a big gambler,I'd gamble every day, horses, dogs anything really and was losing big style. Now I just do the footy, from the start of the season I've layed out £1000 and I've got back over £2000 but I've had a good season, if I was to add it all up over the years the bookies have had this 20 times over, there's only one winner, as they say youll never meet a poor bookie, but for now I'll enjoy my winnings
lifes a gamble especially if you buy a vw camper enjoy your winnings , i loose every week on the lotto but if it makes someone else happy eh
There's a lot of sophisticated maths and game theory behind every bookie, and if anyone has a fair chance of winning they make the odds not worth it - so you are left with, over time, pretty much no chance of remotely breaking even. I'll know many people will say that's the point - they forget that the bookie doesn't rely at all on good luck as the gambler does, the only thing that affects them is the rare bad luck they get.
I used to gamble. At 25 I found myself juggling a selection of bank accounts, a leased city centre penthouse flat, a 348, two pregnant girlfriends, a monumental cocaine habit and a list of creditors longer than the list of extras in Saving Private Ryan. So I did the decent thing, cashed in as much as I could in one day, dumped the rest and moved to the UK. I've not even done the lotto.
A pair of shorts? Sorry Owen, but none of my post above is true. I merely gambled that a couple of people might think it to be so - I CAN HAZ WINNAH!
I don't gamble but it's always in your face if you follow football. Shirt sponsors, hoardings around the grounds and on telly a constant stream of ads at half time. Skybet, bet 365, 188bet, betfred, 888sport, betfair, betvictor ...........................
the wife used to be obliged to do this at work, but last year we put £4 a week into a jar instead and at xmas found we'd won about two hundred quid!
Why is it gamblers never mention their losses? I find playing the stock market enough gambling for me.
Don`t do it then.... my mum used to work in a amusement arcade ,she used to come to Cornwall to see us and play the machines on the sea front ,i never "got it"... In my early days did the round robins yankee etc on the horses ,but grew out of it...
It's not that easy. I use the same numbers, birthdays, and know them by heart. And I know 100% that the first time I didn't play, my numbers would come up
