    would gambling lose its attraction if

    a question for the low rollers
    if you were to win £10.000.000 on the lottery, would gambling lose its attraction, betting $1 a spin to win $500
    as most gamblers we probably play hoping to win money and get a buzz out of hitting big but if you had 10 mill in the bank, would you still get a rush out of it, or would you just have to higher the stakes,
    I gave up gambling,
    Now all i ever do is make mind bets,
    You never bet any real money you only bet in your mind.
    The results are fairly good, ive only lost my mind 5 times so far this month

    If I won J10.000.000 (or $20.000.000 ), I would never played again at any casino and any game.

    For me, gambling would still hold some appeal but would stop being an addiction if I won 80K...all I need to get my joie de vivre back

    P.S. Why it is a question for low-rollers only?

    I personally would be at B&M's more but no, it wouldnt make a difference to me. I would spend less time on line because of the traveling I would do though

    I play casinos to win money, not for entertainment value. So hitting the big one would definitely make playing casinos a moot point. I'd step up to commodity and stock trading and certain types of real-estate investing.

    Heck, putting a large part of the 10 million of any currency in a (stable!) bank would net you a lot more money in interest than you could win from a casino, online or otherwise. (MIT Blackjack Team notwithstanding, of course.)

    Difficult to know how I'd feel - give me the 6 winning numbers for tomorrows lottery & I'll tell you later...

    I reckon I would carry on, so voted for "Higher the stakes".
    I might stop playing online 365 days a year though...

    I'd be almost as happy as a lottery winner if I could get $500 off a $1 spin more than about once a year!

    I love to play - so winning the lottery would not matter - I think I would probably up my bets from .20 a spin though.
