(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Just a little topic I'd like to speak about as it relates to me a fair bit. I've been doing it since I was about 14 because I've always been a mad Football fan (Soccer for you Americans btw)

It started off as just some fun trying to win some small amounts of money and it was always nice exploring other leagues of football and betting and getting to know certain teams. Moving slightly on now thou I'm 20 years old now and I feel that its become more than a hobby, I feel that it's not a problem however I find myself spending 50+ a week on it and I'm going to be honest I don't have the best of incomes...

So with that all being said guys, do you gamble? If you do, how much do you do it and why!?

Thanks for replies!!!

Always doing coupons and betting on dogs, won £19 on a virtual dog the other day, then lost it all again

I gamble when the opportunity arises. Mostly on sporting events. I despise people who play the lottery, though. Think it is the biggest waste of money in the world. You always here about the 100 million dollar Winner, but you don't here about all the people that contributed the 100 million that don't win a dime.

Yea I know. I play the euro millions lottery over here in the UK because you can win on certain numbers etc and it's a nice little prize.

nah, its ilegal in my religion

i gamble a fair bit, normally £30 a week on accumulators and £20 on poker
Im up this year after a few decent wins.
i guess its also an hobby for me, and i think its the best chance of winning big - unlike lotteries/bingo etc...

Chelsea the ****s did me today for £330

Nope
I don't even play the lottery, which if I remember right has been called an idiot tax.
Non-rational decision making is a bane for everybody.

I've never been into a betting shop nor have I ever bet any money on any sport before.


I have friends who do it (not all the time) and they win pretty big.

Nope, and never will.

Just accumulators on the footy, but only if i have a spare £5 or so on... Nothing mental! :L
