Lookin4missright: Myself i don't like to gamble unless if it's lotto
Got to be in it to win it Anyway
A dude at the local bottleshop told me that he had shares and had a horse in a race and it was gonna run like lookin after friday nights KFC Money is tight at the mo, but seeing he is was a nice bloke, i thought what the hell??? .So i went to TAB after approx 30yr absence from it (minus the odd Melbourne Cup) and put 20 smackers on the head....
The bar stud come second !!! I knew i should've put $10 on the head & $10 on the bar studs tail What are your experiences with gambling

ps, not talkin about wimmin on dating sites either , although in my experience JMO ONLY better odds on putting dollars on getting hea a date

No... for goodness sake... If you go and spend $20 , and you ask to box 3 potential winners, then if they come either 1, 2, 3 or 3 2 1 etc... you still win...

I have just returned from my Annual Bookmakers Benelovant Fundraising Event, commonly known as Louth Races. Had a great time and did not lose donate as much as usual.

The only other gambling I do is with the insurance companies that something will happen and they will pay me big time. So far, they are winning (that's is a goodie) except for......

Having spent a night staying with my sister while attending the 50th anniversary of my High School, I did get to meet some characters of my day and discuss a few of our unrelated "relos."

"Uncle George F" was a well known SP bookie who did like his patrons to pay up....or else.

Bruiser (as he was known at school) did like his nightclub patrons to behave and be polite in gentile company...or else.

It was really down to "Play while you have the money, gamble when you don't."
