I think everyone gambles, from the kids playing marbles in the playground, to adults dreaming of a Lotto win, right through to the oldies in the Bingo hall. So whats your favorite way to gamble ?





For me it's Poker, though only face to face, I have never tried online poker and never will. First rule of Poker is play people not the cards and I dont understand how you can play the people online.

Roulette or craps

Roulette because if you're going into a casino you're not going to make money, worst odds for a person to win and just fun to see if you put it on red 7 (DALGLISH!!!!) if you win anything

Craps because you can actually make money from this game and the table is fun to be around it's a very loud superstitious game

I have never been much of a $ gambler, but pitching baseball and football cards was always a favorite in my school days.

bet365 accumulator bets on the football results. I was once 1 result away from winning £10k (anyone remember that Newcastle comeback against Arsenal? That's what cost me....bloody geordies)

Roulette is pretty awesome if you just want to throw away £20 here or there. I quite like blackjack if you just want to occupy a table for half an hour - drink in hand, chatting away, and betting the house minimum

I play friends and family at poker for money. But I've not bothered to set foot in a casino...I'm always afraid I won't be able to stop. It's always, "Just one more!" with me. At least with poker there is a set buy-in and I can leave it at that.

I don't gamble.

Football accumulators as Magni already mentioned.

When you say cost you, do you mean that was how much you bet, or how much you could have won? Cos if you bet that big on accumulators I would love to see what the potential payout was

slot machines

i know its not good, but when you put a quid in a machine and get mega streak of £11, you its quite a usefull hobby sometimes, a costly one too haha

I have never been much of a gambler either...

except a few carnival games... those things are devious!



Although... I had been known to bet on SGW in past years...

no, sillies...
...who I could steal from, how often...
sometimes I would even see how much I could leave out while farming...
but no more.




Nowadays I don't really take many serious risks,
cuz they didn't ever pay off for me.

Russian Roulette.
Betting on the 'players/victims'. Not 'playing', for the obvious reason that I am a smart, immoral coward.

Are there people stupid enough to play that for real?
I'm always amazed how far human stupidity can go.
Anyway, isn't that kind of "game" illegal?


I don't gamble. Unless you call Fantasy Football Premier League and the UEFA fantasy football gamble games.

yes, people play it for real.
someone usually gets killed / arrested about once every year or so in my seven county metro area for Russian Roulette.

You are gambling for sure if you are wagering money or property...
