Have you ever had/have a gambling problem?

I thought I'd mention gambling as a good friend of mine has got addicted to those roulettestyle video machines that you find at many bookmakers.

It's a four-figure sum that he's lost over the last two years and it's higher than a (1)

I've been able to put bets on since I was 15 :spin2:

But yeah, on the day of the grand national I bet on about 10 different horses, only a few pound on each one but I wish I wouldn't/

I think if you had won it would have been worse.

That's the trouble with gambling. When you win, the next time round you lose and you keep losing until you win again and that is a long and winding road into oblivion imo.

One of the reasons why I stay away from that.

I gamble alot. Me and my friends like to place bets on random stuff.

I know when to stop though, I wouldn't say I have a problem, I just gamble alot.

If you gamble a lot, then you are not in control of it.

My bf gambles a lot! But I dont.. I always choose the wrong things.
I bet sometimes though like if a race horse has my name or something that reminds me of me..
