Me, I'm the type that brings maybe 20-50 bucks to a casino once every 9 months and I quit buying lottery tickets awhile back.
I no longer gamble on football or baseball because many times emotions got in the way.

Yes, a lot.

Never have. Never saw the allure of it.

I hardly ever bet major sports (and never bet against my team). Haven't gone to the casino in a few years.
I do go to the horse track a few times a year and definitely bet when I'm there. Bet all three of the Triple Crown races most of the time too.

Just got back from Vegas. Blackjack, craps, and the sports book.

No.
Casinos are built to make money, not for me to win.
I do not bet on things I can't control like sports.
I do not bet on my golf game because it is unreliable.

Only Poker and the occasional powerball ticket when I go to Memphis.
I love playing Omaha and occasionally go to the tournament in Philadelphia, MS they do every couple of months.
Last year I rode the train to New Orleans and played at Harrahs in the $365 WSOP PL Omaha tournament. Didn't make the money but had some fun.

I play in a poker "league" with about 15 other guys. $20 each week with 20 week seasons.
I'll also gamble a little bit at casinos. I'll allow myself to lose $100 a day.

I've never even been inside of a casino.
I've purchased no more than 20 scratch off tickets in my entire life. I did win $500.00 on the very first one I ever bought, though.
Those 20 scratch offs are the extent of my gambling exposure to date. Kinda lame now that I think about it.

Damn, maybe I should change that.

One of the most bizarre occurrences in my life thus far had to be when I lived in Connecticut.
I dreamed that I had won the lottery one night and when I awoke, I wrote down the date and the #'s that I'd dreamed of, fully intending to purchase a ticket with the #'s I'd dreamed about.
I never bought the ticket and when the #'s were drawn that night, damned if they weren't exactly what I had dreamed. I don't recall what the payout was, but I still have that piece of paper saved in a photo album.

Go to vegas 2-3 times a year for 4-5 day trips. Gamble about 2-3 hours per night, but big enough to get the full trip comped most times.
Used to bet sports, now just a handful of games a year and almost exclusively AU games when I think the line is way off (like 4 games a year probably).
Play BJ at the Seminole Hard Rock here by my house to start the night off on a Fri or Sat night some weekends. That is just sorta the warm up for the night out though. Get a few free drinks for an hour with an hour or so of entertainment then go do whatever I'm gonna do for the night.

I gamble everyday. Being in sales in the electrical supply industry and with the big dog supplier in the area I quote material everyday and a lot of the time am the first call on quotes and sometimes can bid too low and sell material for less than what we could get for it or quote too high initially and lose out on sales.
If that's even considering gambling.

I love to gamble. I go to the Casino a lot and play blackjack...learned how to count cards. I win about 75% of the time I go. I also play some backroom poker and craps with friends in farm offices..I've seen 80k put down on one dice roll before in that stuff. Those get togethers usually involve a lot of alcohol and cocaine.
I'm thinking about setting up my own "invitation only" deal where I get about 20 people to come play poker tournaments, blackjack, and craps. I be the House and back it financially..got a few people willing to put up the money to do it. Gonna make about 5k a weekend off of it. Setting up a bar with drinks and probably gonna get a few good looking girls to dress scantily and be cocktail girls

Any of you MS guys play in Tunica often?

I go up to the Horseshoe once in awhile. Don't go play blackjack at Gold Strike..they rig the decks with less high cards some times to tip the odds in their favor. Trust me

Hells ya gambling is awesome, gets your blood boiling in a way only a few other things can. There is absolutely nothing like winning a bunch of money at the craps table.
