I've always been indifferent to it. Even in Vegas, I might play $20 worth of coins and lose interest. Every once in a great while, I might buy a lottery ticket, only to forget about it...
Was married to a gambler, we lost everything including our home as a result of his gambling. I know some people can do it in moderation but as for myself I buy the occasional raffle ticket if is for a good cause but never gamble or buy lottery tickets

Ok hun, you have totally lost me now,
I think you need to go lay down for a while and collect your thoughts.
Don't gamble anymore. Did once and used to count cards and had some success but nothing to make a livin with. Now days I do not gamble, or even buy lottery tickets and never raffle tickets. Rather buy some good food.
I'm not into Vegas, because if you go, you're there for a few days, and I do enjoy gambling. I go to Atlantic City about twice a year with a few of my friends and we go for the night. I take what I can afford to lose , yet have always come home with money. never have I come home broke, or losing what I set out to lose. We go strictly to Harrah's, and while we get a comp room, and comp dinners and breakfasts, the money we bring is for GAMBLING. Great deal of fun. I love roulette.
If you are not in the paring garage and by my car at 11:00 AM, you need to find another way home. that's the rule, and everyone abides by it. haven't left anyone up there yet...

SirenLydia: Hey mb....
Can you explain powerball to an English girl please.....
Powerball is a lottery game.
6 numbers are drawn (numbers range from 1-59).
To win the jackpot, you must match all 6 numbers in order.
The last number drawn is called the powerball number. If you match just that number, you win $3..match 1 number and the powerball number, you win $7, and it goes up from there.
If you match 4 out of 6 numbers, you win some money. 5 out of 6, you win a good amount of money (usually over $100,000).
The jackpots start at $15 million, and go up if noone wins. The current jackpot is around $72 million.

So what draws you to Vegas if not the gambling?
Surely your not a shopper and I don't think they have biker shops there, do they?.........

The only gambling I've done is raffle tickets and football pools, used to win those a bunch. I think it would be fun to go to a casion, especially if I was spending someone else's money! I'm too much of a Scot to like gambling a whole lot, I can't bear to throw money away.

Are you just a good cause raffle ticket buyer?
How much would you spend on gambling a week, month or year?
Or do you think all types of gambling are bad?
