Gambling

[Norfolk N Chance]

Gambling .......Realised from an advanced stage I couldnt do this within realms of responsability so I cut my loses never to return again .....I hate gambling with a passion it lead me to some very very dark places!

So please the next time you receive that e-mail or advert just put it in the bin......

Yours a GA member

You should only do gambling if you have got iron will power (like what I've got) and you know how to work the system to guarantee yourself a profit whether your bet wins or loses (like what I do).

The only time I ever lose is if I make a mistake. Yes, I know it's difficult to comprehend, but even I do make the odd mistake from time to time. You also need to be very intelligent (like what I am).

I gamble occasionally, overall I'm breaking even. I only bet on what I know,  that's football. I rarely bet on Rovers, I find my judgement is over optimistic when it comes to Donny.

Gambling is very dangerous if you don't have many things to occupy your time.

I've spent and won hundreds of thousands over the years.

I would seriously advise anybody to avoid gambling if they could.

Not worth the heart ache and hassle it can potentially cause

i have got a gambling problem

[Draytonian III]

I gamble every week on football and few times on the horses ( also enjoy a day at the races ) , but the two things I do is that ( A) I only gamble with money I can afford to loose  ,and (B) I never ever gamble on- line,because when you gamble on-line you don,t know how much money you are losing. i.e. "I,ll have £ 20 double on Wigan winning 4-0 at Man City and Norwich winning 6-0 at home Man Utd " . When you go to the betting shop you have to physically hand over the money ,therefore you understand the value of your money more

Gambling is for mugs. I am the exception that proves the rule.

A small flutter on the football and a modest Saturday bet on the horses are what I look forward too every week. Controlled gambling is fine, its down to the individual. I never do on-line gambling though.

Oh and I just love Cheltenham festival week in March. Hope this doesn't make me a bad person.

If you can't stand the heat then get out of the kitchen

My Dad was a colliery Ripper he broke his back 7 days a week down Brody Pit earnt a fortune and gave it all to the bookie in Highfields.

if I'm ever tempted to have a 'flutter' I just think of him.

[Teeth_Gilly]

I put a cheeky bet most Saturdays usually a fiver no more than a tenner. Makes football more interesting!

[RobTheRover]

I have a couple of quid accumulator.  Lose nearly all the time, but when it comes in its worth it.

[Ten Mile Banker]

I have a bet every Saturday, Horses & Football, I very rarely win but it's great fun.

Sorry to hear that.

I too like a bet, only on the footy on a Saturday though.

£5 home win accumulator and a £5 7-game goals galore.  Doesn't win often but when it does its worth it.

And - I only gamble what I can afford to loose!!
