    I'm not really a gambler gambler but I did have a big spell during the 98 Football World Cup where I was betting up to £200 on games . I didn't get anywhere as I won about £100 more than I'd staked (about £3000)

    these days I have little £5-£20 bets on sporting events but mostly Football as it makes it more interesting to watch when you've got money riding on it

    I haven't bet big on things like horses or dogs but I will have a bet on The Grand National or when I go to the local dog track for a meal night out

    I gamble with my life everyday that I get on the roads. Think about it. Two motor vehicles traveling at 80 mph towards each other with nothing but a painted line in the road to seperate them Now factor in howmany autos are on the road and the time I spend on the road. If you want pretty good odds at a pay off just buy some insurance on me!

    A few lottery tickets once a year or so. Nothing more than that.

    You left out an option 8)

    Used to but not anymore :P

    I was never into the lottery or betting on games.

    I remember playing poker on a regular basis, only a select few and we would just throw blank checks in the pot 8)
    Many a time someone would ask to borrow $50.00 fopr the week because they just signed their paycheck over to me
    I would almost feel bad... NOT!!!!!!

    I play this small 2 dollar a game pool that my neighbor at work puts together, during college football season. That's about as much as I gamble, other than making stupid bets with my brother all the time.

    I really enjoyed our time in Vegas, though. We couldn't play the slots too much with a toddler, but it was fun.

    Do you want the real answer, or the answer I tell my partner ?
    If in doubt, Google it.

  8. I spend about $10.00 a week on the Mega Million Lottery. I have been to Atlantic City and Las Vegas but was more interested in the sites than I was in the gambling.

    I don't know how Las Vegas stays in business. Everyone that I talk to about it says that they win enough to cover their trip or they break even. Kind of sounds like fishing tales to me.
