You CAN use it to make money! Casino games, not so much as they're designed to give the house/casino the edge by like 5% which makes a big difference, like that's if you make all the right decisions in those games and have your luck going well you're still meant to only win 95% of what you risk in the long run but most will prob lose more so it's ****ty for actually trying to make money. Betting is ok, still a lot of luck but if you're smart about it you can do ok. Poker is by far the best game for making money but it's a hard/lengthy/in-depth one to learn tho so there's a catch-22 there like you gotta seriously put the time & practice in for it

Ahhh not "there's gonna be a time when you lose it ALL" Gamblers gonna gamble That's crazy tho, was he making a lot of money from work/gambling to do that or just really ballsy with it? $1000+ on a single game would be ****ing nuts to me and I LOVE a good/BIG gamble

I think it'd be fun I'd just be really bad and lose everything ahhh Yeah it's hard to get on, idk about on BBUS but with UK most of them have had previous tv experience or something. I did want to apply years ago but you had to apply with a video and that put me off

Yeah I think that's the main part of why I enjoyed it a lot in the beginning, I'd be like well actually I don't really need that £50 so it's alright. But then I started to use it as a way to try and make money when I needed it more and that's such a bad idea when majority of the time it's all down to luck anyway My ex was really good though, he would literally bet thousands on games and he won every time he did it I think. But I was always trying to convince him not to like "we've all been there; there's gonna be a time when you lose it ALL"

Yeah usually I'm like eh I'll watch but this year I actually want it on Ohhh yeah I do remember now, would you watch anymore of BBUK/CBB older series or not that bothered about it? And yep same, mostly cus of this forum though I think, everybody was convincing themselves he wouldn't win

I KNOW... like this is the perfect summer for BBUS and it might just not happen ffs... Yeahhh do you not remember I was watching it in my BBUK watch thread? I'm sure it was even waaay better in the moment. I didn't even think he won when watching... for some reason I always thought he was a losing finalist like 2nd-5th place.

I wouldn't mind the challenges that is soooo my thing it'd be really exciting Although these days I feel like I'd be the CT, out of shape BB would without a doubt be the easiest tho and also my fave so I'd love to get on that but feel like I'd never actually try to apply out of laziness and such. Cba & the odds of getting on are so slim

Ahh yeah you really gotta be able to handle the losses when you gamble long-term. You start to get that losing is part of it, some more some less I'm kinda used to the varying wins & losses so like unless it's a really bad/unlucky big loss I'm usually just over it within a few hours even minutes But even for losses even tho it still sucks it's always money I can afford to lose, like money I built up from gambling winnings & extra money I've saved from work etc so it's like easier to accept. I'd never go as far to gamble with money I NEED for the rest of the week/month I think that's the difference for some people and then the gambling is sooo much more stressful & frustrating when people do that.

Yeah TC is a really good mix of them all, I should've listened to you ages ago when you said Bear was on it and started watching then I'd never do Survivor because beaches/water/challenges... none of them are my thing lol. TC probably not because again too much competition/stress it seems, but BBUK would definitely be fun Like you don't even have to do anything, just sit there all day and chat with people. The eviction nights seem sooo hype too

Lol I always feel bad because I know I'd be pissed in the moment and it takes me time to get over losing sometimes </3

Ahhhh WHY only BB12 not there? Thanks anyway I'll take a look at my sites that I use for Survivor/TC because I've got a bunch of them in my history. I'd miss it too, totally ready for some BB again. ESPECIALLY whilst the whole corona/summer is a bore. Omg wait did you not watch Bear's series like while it was airing? I thought you just didn't visit the forum or something The finale live was amazing, I didn't even expect Bear to win tbf so made it even better

Well actually not Survivor... I can't do the outdoor living like that. FFFFFFFFFFFFF that

A true supportive friend Me & my friends would just clown on each other and stuff when one of us makes an individual losing bet

Oh here's the site I watched The Challenge seasons on, it looks like they have BBUS although I haven't tried the links. But omg it looks like BB12 is the only one missing for some reason https://best-series.me/show/big-brother-us

Yeahhh it's prob not going on.. I'm hoping it's just delayed. Gonna miss BBUS this summer otherwise </3 Bear's season would've been soooo fun to watch live. You should've told me!!! But nah idk if I would've even gotten into it at the time.

It's wild for sure but overall kinda stupid to me when there isn't a game aspect to it so that's why Real World never got me hooked. The Challenge has that pretty nice balance tho Not Real World, that'd be a bit cringe for me but yeah I'd try a show like Survivor/The Challenge/BBUS for money

Ohhh it sounds wild Not really watched any of the scripted ones like TOWIE/Made In Chelsea because the idea is sooo unappealing to me. Surely entertaining though You'd go on a show like that for $? I def couldn't do the fame/cameras thing ughh. Yeah BBers usually just jump onto another show after to keep their careers going
