  • No, my father was a compulsive gambler and a nasty piece of work so it put me right off.

    I regulary "gamble" with several of my friends, a habit since my teenage days.

    We don't gamble for money though, we gamble for dares.

    That goes from just plain silly things that give the others a laugh up to "seriously" daring stuff that could end with physical violence or a night in prison, depending on how "emotional" the bet is/how severe the "debt" is.

    When I was a child, sometimes with my friend and her mom, I would do the scratch off lottery tickets. I never won large amounts.

    Food gamble. Is this leftover rotten? This raw chicken is 3 days past the sell by date, if I cook it for lunch, will I be violently ill? How many hours can that sit on the counter before it becomes toxic?

    Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose.

  • I don't gamble, but I have a nack for it. I gambled playing poker with my father and his friends when I was young. Ofcourse, he only gave me about 50p to start off with, thinking I would lose it and be out the game so that the adults can play seriously, but at the end of the night, I won £50 with that 50p he gave me.

    I played a few games without money (I used match sticks) for a little while, and I kept winning.

    I think I am pretty good at lying and faking facial expressions at the right time.

      Please be very careful, that's the very kind of thinking that can get you started and then hooked on it.

      All gamblers think they have a knack for it :(

      • I have more will power than to get hooked on gambling, which is part of why I have a nack for it, because I'm good at it, and I can turn away from it.
