If the risk is negligible then it is not really a gamble.

Call that a vice?

Damn lightweights!

I scored 2/20 and you are right i dont like to gamble. Thats why i always played casinos with a bonus and why i mostly play poker now (or at least did until neteller shut me off).
2/20 means you dont particularly like to gamble but you realize you have to gamble a little to win money which is what i really love.

Ah, c'mon now

I hit 6/20 then went just over the edge on the DMSVII thingy (twice as true). Maybe its the way the questions were posed. My gut reaction to many of the BBC GA questions was 'HELL NO' I ain't no loser. But with the other test, maybe I was able to be a little more honest with myself?

I'm not saying that anyone who gambles WILL score higher than 2/20 on the twelve step thingy, but it just seems out of my realm of experience. Did you try the other test?

Best to ya. Damn its fun, huh?

13/20 for me. I play mostly poker though. Who hasn't gambled longer then they intended?

I didn't know what a Mack truck was until I googled it - lol Pinababy!

I remember seeing them in films, in fact I think one was featured in all time favourite of mine - Duel starring Dennis Weaver. Ah, what an absolute classic!!! Sitting on the edge of my seat throughout that film.

There's not enough room to drive one of them in little old England - hehe.
