Gambling is a mugs game as it's far easier to lose than it is to win. I do ok but I'm playing with winnings accrued and not money out of my wallet. The advertising of casino games apps is all wrong ,you are enticed with the prospect of free spins but if you read the smallprint these spins are generally a 10p stake which means any money you win will be almost worthless, you transfer £50 to your account and with the free spins you might win £5 but you are not allowed to withdraw it you must gamble it again and you'll lose it for sure. The £50 invested will likely be fixed to win a good amount but by then you are hooked and instead of withdrawing it you keep playing and then they've got you in your their pocket.Fruit machines are the spawn of the devil and should be banned,I have been battling this demon for years,there is no winning in the end. Horse racing gambling is a good chance of winning money but how many people have the hours to dedicate to studying form to the level needed to win. Football betting has been good to me over many years but you can see on my Swordy thread how difficult and frustrating it can be and I only bet fivers can you imagine what it's like when some people lose £50 -£100 a time then it's goodbye house,goodbye wife and kids and for many it's goodbye life. Yes I am all in favour of banning sports betting advertising as I was with smoking it needs to be done to protect the vulnerable

I have £190 in my Ladbrokes account and put the odd £10-£20 on football. It drops down and goes up and never really much more that currently. I can take it or leave it luckily and it adds a level of interest to the weekends games.
I have a mate who lost a relationship through gambling. Or the lying that came with it. He seems to be over it but you never really know as we didn’t really know before.
The Stones stance is admirable. The Stones Lotto does seem to fly in the face of it a bit though?

The Stones lotto is a way to donate to the club with a small chance of getting something back. Not something that’s likely to lead to an addiction. Many charities do similar things to raise money. The stakes are small as are the prizes. |

If i thought for one second that people were using my choices for their own I would close the thread down,if anything my thread shows exactly why gambling is a mugs game. A shanty hut you say,I didn't know you'd upgraded recently. |
