A fiver each on 3 football games each week.

Usually put a fiver on the team my club are playing so it doesn't hurt as much when we lose.

Play the lottery. Occasionally splurge on a scratch card.

Yes.

Saturday and Wednesday lottery..2 lines, Euro lottery 1 line. Lottery s doubling in price shortly...still worth it for the dreams

My dad was a big gambler...some very big highs but some equally awful lows.

I would play the lottery, but that's as far as it goes.

I do the lottery but sometimes I see people in the shop buy crazy amounts of scratch cards, it actually shocks me.

I also like going to the amusements if we are away for the day at the beach or that.

Not really, more for fun an odd time as to horse racing, I do the lottery every week though.
Rarely ever win anything.

I used to play fruit machines quite a lot in arcades as a teen, but I haven't done that for a while

I've put a few bets on various things since I was 18, and have used (and won) a few scratch cards too but aside from that and putting a fiver down on roulette in a casino with my cousin, no
