Anyone into gambling wether its online or at the bookies, mates at work are getting hooked on it, but quite successfully atm, gets about £150 a week from it, he bets on football mainly and a bit of horse racing.

But other mate at work lost £90 tonight think it was on a Barnsly game if it was on tonight?

What websites are there and what do you use? Do you make money on it?

This makes perfect sense. Betting £90 to win £150 just means that he's bettin on a BIG BIG favourite! .. he's guaranteed a win for sure because the return is pretty low in relation to the stake... however if he loses.. then thata £90 gone! just like that!

GroomGTI · 13th March 2008, 23:43

to be honest mate you maximum bet is £100 and to put £90 on just to win £150 which your winning like £60 for a £90 stake is pretty shocking.

never mate.. never... Yea i won £500 - £800 in one day.. but i'd go back the next day and put all that money back in and lose it!..

Bookies are a business... and business AIM to make money! not to give out money!..

trust me bro.. i wouldn't get hooked on it. EXPESIVE HOBBY

Lee_P · 14th March 2008, 16:33

i dont like losing money so dont gamble i dont even go on the gamblers very often but when i do and win its an amazing feeling

Tupps · 14th March 2008, 16:44

A few quid on footy accumulator's on a weekend and the occasional blast on poker (usually end up winning)

nothing hardcore, just something to keep the juices flowing

DanA · 14th March 2008, 17:38

i work in a casino, and the casino always wins

if you win you always come back because you think you can win again some so but most lose

i see it everyday people playing with there morgage ect. i do a little bit on roullette and other casinos won alot but then lost alot.
