Do you like to gamble?

Do you like to gamble? Casino-style, friendly poker game, some other way?

I gamble everytime I walk out the door.
Ha..

Hey..don't we all? ^
I've been to the casino a few times but it just pisses me off b/c I know I'm just pissing my money away. If I'm gonna blow through $100 in 5 minutes I'd rather (insert evil deed here)..you know?

I've not had that much exposure to it.
I used to buy lottery tickets when I worked in Michigan, but I'd only typically win my money back, and I bought them out of novelty than actual gambling.
I don't really like to lose money.
I can stretch money to where the penny looks like copper wire.

I only play blackjack..and if I have to play slots it must be from WMS gaming because they have the best/funniest bonus games...like Lucky Lemmings or the new Top Gun (the chair vibrates when you shoot missles!)..also has a Bose surround system...neat ;D

Certainly. I generally make "gentleman's wagers". I think it may be obvious political horse races are amongst my more favorite sports. I came within 5 house and senate members in '06. Hope for a good tally this time too.

I gamble with my real life regularly.

Gambling games don't really do it for me though.

If I am playing with a reasonable enough amount that a loss would not stress me too much, then I am indifferent to a win. If I am playing with a large enough amount that a win would be exciting, then a loss would be sickening.

I bet on horse races (won $300 at the Derby this year) and play the occasional poker game, but I'm not really a big gambler, i don't really get a kick out of it and see it as more of something to pass the time.

never seen the attraction tbh, but i do partake in the bonus ball pool in work (which I'm notorious for picking up the roll-overs)

I'm like the anti-gambler. Dealing with chances scare the shit out of me.

I bet you 20 bucks I can get you gambling by the end of the day.

Have you worked in sales? :D

In dont gamble much. I do enjoy poker and blackjack with some friends and the lotto sometimes

I gamble over fights sometimes. Usually nothing big just soda or something.

Video games are much funner than Gambling. I wasn't much for it before, but I worked at a Casino for a while, which managed to turn me off for good.

I am saleman the thrill of making the deal getting item sold....Sale people do make better gamblers, both thing you need a understanding how to read people.


I play texas hold'em every sat. with a group of friends $40 buy in. I about year ago got into a some high stakes. Rather the friendly game got that way with a new person. One of these guys who didnt know when enough was enough and winning was everything. The pot got up to around 5000 that a little to high for my blood. To make this type bet he puts key to his travel trailer in to the game. Not one to back down from a good hand I played. Beat him with trip Aces, the look on the guys face look like I just killed his puppy. That night I and few others went to his place hook up the trailer, got the paper work everything I need to own thing. 26 ft travel trailer, that pretty much solve me from play anything that high again. I could have gone the other way....

It used to be exciting when I was young, but it just seems too much hassle to go to the pachinko parlor, horsies or whatever.

I don't much care for money, which tends to spoil games involving it.

I do enjoy taking risks for greater rewards, although I prefer they rely on my personal abilities rather than sheer luck.

I actually love to gamble....blackjack calls me.

I love cards, but gambling has never done much for me..... shit, i don't even play scratchers lottery tix.
