Do you gamble ?
I do a line on the lotto every week, odd scratchcard, few quid in a fruit machine when i'm down the pub. Got to bingo about once a month. Won £500 on a fruit machine last time i went

I could neevr get into it. My gran and mum worked at the bookies for years. They have seen grown men crying begging for their wife's houskeeping money back, the money they just gambled and lost on a 'lucky' horse.
The punters had weird superstitions - like you could only use the same cashier on certain days, some men hated my mum as they thought she was bad luck. Some loved her as they thought she was good luck.
It was a funny old place though, a bit like the Desmond's setting.
I went into a bookies, to paly the fruit machine, a couple of years ago and a guy had £8,000 in the bank on a video roulette machine. Half an hour later he walked out with nothing :eek:
My gran's been held hostage at gunpint twice and my mum spotted a big time con, ones you see on crimewatch!!
fucking grasses!
I've put one bet on at the bookies - won 65 quid
Wondering when to start playing the lottery, I've been taught to use my powers sparingly
Chances of winning the lottery? 14 million to 1. Did you know, that it's actually a charity, so you're effectively giving away your money to fund government projects. But nevermind.
Go to the Casino a couple of times a year.
Play pool for money sometimes
Sometimes lay on a bet for the footy or dog.
Have a sweepstake every sunday up the pub on the nags.
I mostly enjoy playing poker with my mates on the weekend down the Cricket shed.
I enjoy it, makes things a little more exciting.
play 3 card poker, blackjack and roulette usually when we go to the casino.
i'm a self proclaimed blackjack hero. its so easy to make money on as long as you dont have no shite players on your table, a bad player can ruin your chances.
usually whack a coupon on and a bet on the clarets on a match day.
