Default Do you gamble?
Do you gamble? including any type of gambling like do you put a coupon on, bet on the horses, play the lotto, bingo, slots machines and so on?

I always put an irish lottery on at the bookies on a Saturday (and sometimes a wed) I quite like the puggys too (slots) and I also like bingo (old )

Sometimes place football bets on a Saturday though normally I forget. Will bet on the major horse races as well but thats pretty much it. Used to play poker a fair bit both live and online but haven't done for months now.

My Dad's father gambled away a lot of money, no one else in the family ever bets now apart from the odd lottery ticket. I tend to buy a Euro lottery ticket when there's a bit rollover.

I could remind you Just joking.

I don't much really, odd times maybe,the Grand National now,I do a lucky dip on the lottery,would never take a fixed set of numbers.
I think if you are going to win the lottery you will no matter what you put on.

Pointless too for me to bet on horses,my choices would probably do better if the jockeys were carrying the horse than vice versa.

Not much, i buy the odd scratch card or lotto ticket and there's a fund raiser at the dog track for my sons soccer team in a couple of weeks so we'll probably put on a few small bets there

No, I once gambled away Ł100 on the slots when I was about 19, never again.
I have done the national lottery but not since it changed to Ł2. Think I've played bingo twice.

Not really. Sometimes put on the lottery but it's usually my parents who do so.

I like playing bingo though but that's only usually ever on holiday.

The odd bit here and there, but not like every week I have to buy a lottery ticket.

Since I was a kid I have tried to win a home made quilt from the Saskatoon Western Development Museum Ladies Auxiliary... I must have bought thousands of tickets over the years.... but I have **** luck I'm afraid. Soon I will be old enough to just join them
