Do you Gamble?

I also buy a couple cupones ONCE which goes to the association for the blind I consider it a good cause
Never won anything lol :)

I bet on sports mostly.

Got into it last year. One of the sites offered a risk free bet (up to $1000) so I wired them the $1k and put it all on a college football game and won the bet. Turned my $1k into $2k.

I've been placing bets ever since using same account.Not much money..$100 or $200 bets per game once a week or so. Account got as low as $425 and as high as $4000 between then. It's currently at $3k now so I'm still playing with house money.

Sports betting can be really dangerous though..actually soul sucking. If you win you don't care much but when you lose, especially by a point, it can place you in a dark corner.

Don’t gamble TOO much anymore. Most I ever won was $1600. Most I ever lost? In a day? $600 I guess. Overall? I dunno, $20-30k?

Apparently I love losing because I can Win win win!!!!! But I won’t leave until I am out of money.

No...

I think I won like $25 on a Monopoly scratch off one time...

yea this happens to most people. know when to stop

a friend and i once went to the casino and on his first roulette spin he made 2k. (we were like 20 and took 100$ each there)
we literally left right after, after about 5 minutes there and went to a club to enjoy lol

other people i know would use the 2k to place more expensive bets hoping to do it again and again.

Yes. Slots only. High limit. Won 150k+ last year (W2-Gs). Had to stop because I hate paying the IRS that much money!

Horses.

I throw a 50 in here and there. Place 3-10 dollar bets. Highest payout was 1200

I gamble with Crypto!

Indeed an interesting question. Yes I have gambled, but not as much with money as it has been with life.

Hard to answer questions that were never asked. A Gamble in it's very structure is a bit subjective, and only defined by bias and self worth. Who wins...the dealer. The house always wins.

Ever since I was born.

My Dad was a general contractor who loved to gamble.

I remember as a child, walking into a casino hotel entrance, right beside the casino, & thinking it was obvious most people lost money or they couldn't build elaborate places like this.

I walked in w/ my Dad once to pay off a marker at a Shreveport casino. He pulled over 20k out of his pocket & gave it to them. I stood there w/ the HoLeeFuk look on my face as he counted out the cash. As we walked back to the car I quietly said to him "Hope you had fun" & he just growled back "not that much fun". He was cured of the gambling fever for about 1.5 months.

I had a vasectomy years ago

Why didn't you make that your title since that's what you want to know?

I suppose you've won some money and you want to tell us all about it.

I gambled on Moderna and Bitcoin.

NO!
and Fuck Joe Biden

I gamble every time I post here

From someone who grew up in a gambling town and with a gambling family, literally every kid in my family learned the games around 17-18yrs old as a family tradition, I always say: Don't play what you can't afford to lose, look at it like you're paying for some entertainment. Casinos weren't built on winners.

If we’re talking money, hell no. Never saw the point.

I do ride moto a lot, and do quite a bit of backcountry snowboarding in pretty dangerous terrain. I have the airbag and beacon, but every run is a gamble. I believe I am addicted to adrenaline.

they are really pushing this online/app gambling hard, every other commercial seems to be Draftkings or MGM, Fanduel etc., i read not long ago that Disney was getting in the business too. I don't gamble not even the lottery but i think it's okay if it's for fun once a month or so but many will keep chasing that first win right into bankruptcy and it will ruin many lives in the future, i have seen it happen way too many times already! And now you can lose everything without leaving your Sofa, this will not end well!

We have had the WV state lottery video machines in the local VFW for years and i have seen many go flat broke playing those
evil machines, those that hit big will head right back in and lose it back before the night is over. they have a ATM machine 15 feet from the Gambling room and it stays busy too!

The most I walked out with was about 3500 bucks. The most I lost (not counting thousands in winnings) was about 1000 bucks--near a whole paycheck. I did that two weeks in a row.

For years I would play craps (occasionally Black Jack) on payday. I had a 40 dollar rule--win forty and leave or lose 40 and leave. Over about 5 years I was thousands ahead--then I got greedy. I knew the ins and outs of craps--I was good, so why could I not just get rich playing? LOL If you play long enough the house will win--every time no matter how good you are.

I played for about 20 years (lived in Las Vegas). I enjoyed the thrill and generally came out about even. Slowly, I lost interest and only gambled when my wife wanted to go out )a few times a year). No matter how well I did at the craps table I would leave a loser as the wife would keep coming over to the table to rob me of a few hundred bucks.

Eventually, the fun part of the thrill was gone. The thrill was replaced with apprehension on every throw of the dice. Even going to a club to cash my paycheck became more of a chore rather than some small pleasure of getting a couple of free drinks and a few bucks to throw away. It became boring.

Over the last 20 years, I may not have gambled 40 bucks--playing keno while waiting for a meal in a restaurant.

Gambling should be viewed as a recreation--not a way to make money. If it becomes a vice it can become as destructive as using herorine. Casinos do not engage in gambling, those engage in gaming. The house will win in the end.

You gamble with grandma’s life every time you leave the house without 3 masks, 6 shots, and a butt plug.

^^^^^^^this!

Yes. It’s called my IRA.

It's small risk, small gain.

With about $1,200 in capital, can do the 5 cents/hour. Double that and it goes to 10¢ etc. Should double about every 2 years lol.

May add more to boost it along at some point, letting it run a while to make sure no more issues.

As it wins, it risks more and earns more.

I say lame because I know people gamble and no one was responding.

I have family it ruined as well.

Just curious, like the person that pinned this so piss off

Interesting

so interesting!! congrats
dont laugh at 'double every 2 years'

if you double $1000 every 2 year its 32k in 10 years and after things start moving really fast.
10 more years and its over a million. just saying

I'm picking up what your putting down

Why? What's the problem? You rather talk about Trump or Covid.More to life than that and no one told you to hit this thread so go suck a dick
