i hate gambling

[wilk1149]

Apparently that makes me a bad person. Oh well, obviously hating gambling is similar to being a pedophile. Maybe I should be publicily executed for being such a vile and wicked person

That's right myoclon, they do do that. When you happen to win a minute amount they go off as if you have won heaps.

Gambling a big problem to many including one of my nephews who got lost in it's grip for years. Untold heartache for his immediate family, however he saw the light and turned his life around with help from a lot of people.

I don't mind throwing a little bit of money at a casino, I did say a little ( I am not silly and I have lots of willpower)  but generall only do it when we go away on holidays and only on pokie machines,  I know I will lose my money and if  perchance have a win that's a bonus. We might buy lotto once a year, last of the big spenders. lol.

It would appear that gambling is another of some intransigent posters beliefs. 🙂

Some just do not realise how big a gamble it is to cross a road

In fact i look 4 ways:)

Left, Right, Left and the straight ahead.

That instinct was firmly implanted in all kids even before kindergarten.

I wonder if it still is?
