Blow on the dice for good luck
 
What's the most you've ever gambled? Real money? Money in a video game? Halloween candy with your siblings? What did you win, or lose?

I once bet $100 with my friend on a football game! Luckily I won and he paid up instantly haha. That is the only real time I can remember betting money on something. Usually I just bet silly things just for the sake of saying "i'll bet you that..."

I think I wagered $20 on a poker game, it's gambling, but you at least have a little bit of control of the outcome.

And recently I bet $5 on Japan winning the Women's World Cup as sort of a win-win since I wanted USA to win anyways and I was out of $5 like ten min into the game haha

Uh I once bet my uncle like $50 on a Patriots v 49ers game because those are our favorite teams

Needless to say I was $50 richer that day because the 49ers suck

I've wagered a few bucks here and there on games and gotten into a few betting pools at work, but I've never been one to bet large amounts of money on anything.

10 pounds/dollars in arcade plushie machine trying to win an minion does that count ?

I don't remember, because I don't tend to gamble, ah ha. I like my possessions too much to risk losing them, especially money.
Yes I realize that's not necessarily a good thing to say, but whatever.

This even includes money in games, I used to be in a guild in WoW where, while we were waiting for bosses, people would pull out a gambling addon to pass the time. I never participated in it because even if it was just fake money it was dealing with, it was mine and you're not getting it just because I lost a dice roll.

So yeah, most I'll do is just a statement of "I bet that blah blah", but I won't actually bet anything. :P
Though not gonna lie, I've seen slot machines before and I've been tempted to try my luck with them just to see how I did. Meh.

Used to do some sports betting some years ago. Then, in 2014, I bet we would win the Champions League final in regular time and win a League-CL double. Then Ramos scored a goal in the 93rd minute and... costed me a heartbreak and a possible 300€ :( Never tried again.

I've never gambled anything?

Is that an acceptable answer? :P

back in high school my friends and I would have poker night every friday night. the buy in was maybe like a few bucks but with all the people playing the pot got pretty big. if you were able to last the whole game without blacking out then you had a pretty good chance of cashing in

I've never gambled. I get seriously anxious about my money, so I'd rather not risk the possibility of loss for the possibility of a gain. I just can't work up the guts, aha.

Meganium July 28th, 2015 5:28 PM

Back when I was living in Cali, I would stop by the casino on Interstate 8 (on the way towards San Diego) to try out the penny slots there. I won $14 one time. It was pretty awesome.

Rogue planet July 28th, 2015 6:04 PM

I'd rather spend my time making money than gambling it

Her July 28th, 2015 6:13 PM

gambling is boring to me if it's my own money because i am far too uptight to risk losing the 30 cents that are to my name
plus i am very VERY conscious of my incredibly bad luck

but if it's someone elses money then lets play some monopoly

Spinosaurus July 28th, 2015 6:21 PM

I like poker.

Sun July 28th, 2015 6:41 PM

That title, nearly read it wrongly. :(

Nope! Because I don't wanna get involved with gambling. I love me money, my money be mine. :)

Eh, gambling isn't really my thing, though I did buy a $10 lottery ticket a couple of weeks ago when the jackpot was at $55 million or something. I ended up getting a free play, and I haven't bothered to go and collect it, haha.

Bellsprout July 29th, 2015 8:36 AM

I went to the casino and put 20 in the machine. At one point I got as high as $69 but I kept playing and instead I left with 19.91 or something like that

Same here, yo. I'm partial to the good old Voltorb Flip in Goldenrod, though. I never can win the darn thing, even when I cheat.

I tend to gamble a lot in video games (the slots and roulette in Pokemon, Quasar in Mass Effect, Varren Racing and roulette in Mass Effect 3, Pazaak in the KotOR games, Poker in the Poker Night games, etc). Course I did gamble a little on an actual slot machine when I went to Las Vegas back in 2010.
