"...Sorry, I don't have the money."

-pounded-


Have you ever gambled before? It can be professional gambling, such as poker, or kid gambling, like "I bet you 5 dollars you can't make the shot from half court"

If you do, how often do you win or loose?

Also, how often has the situation in my thread title and first sentence happened to you?

If you don't gamble, why?
he did it, not me.

Well, I've considered entering those NCAA tournament pools on websites, and I've also been tempted to play fantasy football for money, but the only gambling I've done is the office NCAA pool, and buying my mother Powerball tickets.
whoops

I love me some gambling. I often play a round of poker with some buddies of mine. I usually restrain myself from losing more than twenty dollars a night, and this usually works well for me. Sometimes I win upward of $100 and sometimes I lose my $20 and get out of there. XD

I hate having to give money, but I never have much on me at a time so I often end up having to borrow.

It's usually only a few bucks and I pay back the next day.
Everything ends,
and that's always sad.
But everything begins again, too,
and that's always happy.

No, I don't gamble.

First and most importantly, it's against my religion to gamble. Apart from that I've always felt that a penny saved is a penny earned; and it's much easier in my opinion to go work and earn more money that you can keep for sure rather than take big chances and potentially ruin your life through wagering for quick money. I'd also never bet against doing something stupid, since it's bad self-discipline imo and it can really injure both your body and/or your reputation.

Other than that though, the games surrounding gambling are quite fun. As long as you're just playing for fun with harmless chips and not real money, I'm all up for some Texas holdem.
