would gambling lose its attraction if

As a low roller I play stakes that are just high enough to matter to me but wont make a difference when I lose.

Exactly. It doesn't hurt too bad to lose but a win is nice!

I probably wouldnt stop would just be bigger bets. Also would look at traveling around the world to different casinos. But one never really does know till that lucky time happens to us.

I don't recall the sources but I've read a few articles that point out that more than half of lottery winners are broke and often bankrupt in a few years, leaving many in worse shape after the big win than before.

I couldnt tell my wife.....she will tell me, she need "some "plastic surgery....but the way I see her...... I would be poor before she would get the way Id like ......

I too would still play. I love it and enjoy it too much!

I play mostly for the fun of it now.. seeing the Wilds and the Scatters and awaiting the final tally!!!

I enjoy the games too much. So.. yes I would still play, I would just get a bigger house (which would be completely paid for ) and have my new car in the driveway! (also completely paid for)


(funny, my boys and I had this topic one day driving, and I told them after I bought a comfortable house and replaced my squeaky car I would go to different towns and sit in the town hall... observe the local town welfare office and wait for someone in desperate need of help. Give them $10,000 to help them care for the bills, food and kids. Then I would go to the next town and do the same thing over and over.) Of course I would be very careful with that and would not go to the point where my family would ever suffer. But to help some people in need would definitely be a priority next to my own family.

My sportbook bets are interest bets.

When I go into a casino I bet in beer & kebab units.

My poker bets are more of a passtime.

I doubt I'd raise my bets that much, maybe the occasional drunken regretable flutter.

Think I would still play, but less frequently as there wouldn't be as much need.

I actually lost my job a few weeks ago for sickness reasons, gambling at the moment is for survival, playing blackjack has become pretty much my only source of income... very risky and foolish I know, but I am having a difficult time getting any benefits at the moment and nobody will employ me due to bad reference and ongoing disability, prospective employers take one look at me and... well I'm still unemployed...

However...

If I had 10 million I would buy a huge piece of land, build a modest comfortable house for me and my family - and then plant lots and lots of broadwood trees and create a nature reserve that no greedy corporation could come and dig up and build ugly motorways or housing estates on.

I would try and create an oasis for nature away from the grey bleak monster of mankind...

That's my dream, to get enough money to create untouchable wild places... places where animals and plants are safe. And people can go to chill and get away from the craziness of society...

I'd still play as long as they have Wi-Fi at the Playboy Mansion.

I always wondered what it would feel like to have millions and millions riding on a roll of the bones...

That is what I would do, put it all on the Pass Line... If I could find a casino that would cover me...

i guess whit the no's leading the way in the poll the saying once a gambler always a gambler is true

i wonder if it would show the same results if it was posted on a non gambling site,
