Default does the org gamble??

well after a good couple of days courtesy of mr William hill, I was wondering if many fellow orgers enjoy gambling? if so what's your game?poker,horses, blackjack, dogs, football.........

I bet on the football, play blackjack and a bit of poker. so far I'm at £125 profit from the footie season so far. decided that I'm going to keep a record of everything I do, what bets I put on/the odds in getting/the results and see if this helps me.

also off for a week in Vegas next week with 15 of my mates! will be an amazing holiday,here's hoping I don't loose it all on night 1!!

I had a great system for winning at online roulette. It was foolproof. I earnt about £300 in about 3 hours while I was off work.

What they don't tell you is that you cannot actually win this money if you play such games as online roulette, you have to gamble on the card games etc.

I put in £50 and they were saying I wasn't allowed to withdraw the money I had won or initially put in. I gave them a sob story and they gave me my £50 back. Thanks William Hill.

I don't gamble anymore.

Nope don`t gamble unless you can call the lottery gambling.

I had an ex who unbeknown to me gambled recklessly. I didn`t know how much debt he was in until we split up leaving me to deal with the debt collectors banging on the door and the huge loan he`d managed to take out whilst at my address.

Only every time i get on the bike. Sometimes i raise the stakes more than usual by going out in shorts and t-shirt.

but never win much but another day of being alive...which is also a good thing.

Friends who been to Vegas say ts a great experience but you gotta look at your watch and set yourself limits or the first day/night turns into a 3 day marathon and you end up too broke too quick.

I avoid gambling, it's too addictive. I lost $10 in Atlantic city, which was fun, but I really wished I could have gambled more! I am just too sensible.

What else would you call it???


As an interesting little aside, there are approximately 3000 deaths on the UK's roads every year, that's 8.25 deaths every day

Assuming you drive to the store to pick up your ticket, your odds of being killed on the roads that day are roughly twice the odds of you winning the jackpot...
