How Much Do You Gamble?

[Aphex]

Was quite bad up until Christmas for about 12 months. It started, ironically, when Vardy was on his 11 match scoring run and I had a tenner on him scoring at the rags at 5/1.. then I discovered the online casinos.

All my accounts are now on the 5 year cooling period. Never again!

You'll never see a poor bookie

I think the machines in the bookies should be made illegal, they are a stain on society. Found myself on a slippery path with those things I've luckily managed to curb but know plenty who have lost literally thousands. Horrible things.

I've got an William Hill account but I only do a few quid a week. I used to play Poker stars but got fed up of the river rats. Also done pro line here which is like the pools and mini accumulators for the footy. In England I had my own account t where I could ring up. I like buying a scratch card now and again

I'm probably way down them up over the years but I doubt it's over a grand. Most of that was lost playing the national lottery which for me was the biggest scam

Around £30 a year on the Grand National and the very occasional trips to the greyhouds.

We suffered due to dad's gambling when we were kids, so I don't do it regularly.

I was in Coral last weekend and a fella took £590 out of one of the machines from 3 £1 stakes.

I matched bet if that counts 800 up this month.

Me to. I like the odd Arb as well.

Made £1k in around 2 months.

£5 each with two Spurs mates that we'll finish higher than them.

£10 every World Cup and that's it.

I almost think having a good win on those things is the worst thing that can happen to you. Makes you think it happens every time.

Slag me off but I only bet on rags. Emotionally it works for me (happy out of pocket - peeved = few quid consolation). Put £200 on them winning the league before the Stoke game in 2012. I knew Stoke would get something out of us and then the odds for them winning the league would go even shitter. I was right - Crouch scored that mad goal. Best £200 I ever lost :)

Edit: makes me seem like a big gamble man - 200 is by far the biggest bet I ever placed. Think I've done 50 once. I just really wanted us to win the league that year.

Shame it wasn't with betfred!!
