I love gambling. I don't have a problem with it but I do it for fun. Gambling isn't a bad thing. This country was founded on gambling, when our forefathers came over, they were taking a gamble!

Yes I gamble. I consider it a form of entertainment. In my mind is no different than going out to eat or going to a show. I just budget a certain amount of money that I would spend doing something else for entertainment. And if I come home with money then I had a night/day of entertainment for free or at a discount, however, if I lose what I take then I still had the entertainment.

I gamble to win. I dont play games where the house has a big mathamatical edge. Games like roulete or craps you cant beat in the long term, thats a mathamatical fact. And slot machines are even worse. They are THE #1 thing to avoid.
If you want a shot at winning video poker and blackjack are your 2 best chances. Horses and Sports are very difficault to beat in the long run. The other thing I would suggest is learn to play poker well.

I like to gamble at casinos, but I don't do it very much. I also like investing in sports bets. I say investing because if you do your research on the teams you can make a strong guess on the out come. More than enough to get a huge profitable edge. Most people just bet on sports because they have a favorite team, so they don't even care that its a bad bet. They just want their team to win because they are a fan and cannot subjectively look at how good the team is.

Nothing on a regular basis,we just had a casino open a few months ago,I've been there twice and spent only 20 bucks,it was more about the curiosity then the gambling.Also I may buy a scratch off lottery ticket every now and then!!

I dont expect to win the big jackpot but a few hundreds is fun.. but making it a source of income..no way.. thats totally dumb.. cause no way are you gonna do that.. odds are against you..

On occasion I will buy a scratch off..several years ago I would go to the races......I no longer do it. Reason....
my dad's nickname was Racetrack Frank.
He lost over $100,000.00 in 10 years. When he died he had $20,000.00 in bank accounts.........me and my cousin both
had our names on the account........for emergencies. While I cleaned my dad's apartment my cousin cleaned the accounts.
I now believe being that addicted causes unsound money making decisions.
Not only did I lose my dad.
I lost any inheritance
and FAMILY!

No, I prefer to keep my money. Don't want to go broke just because there's a chance I could win. There's just as big of a chance that I'll lose.

no because the canches of losing are too high. I would rather work for my money. This way people won't say about my life being great and me being wealthy that I'm just lucky. I earned it.

I don't gamble. It is a true waste of money. No guarentee you will anything. You end up spending more than you win in the end anyway.
