Do you gamble???

if so what form of gambling and how much do you usually win/lose??

i play poker(texas hold em usually) on a regular basis with friends right now i'm Rs.10,000/-(thats abt 200$ approx) in the positive

Nope. In fact, I don't know how to play any card games.

Yep, there is sometime exhilerating about having your legs broken by russians. They are very polite about it.

I play Russian roulette. It's a man's sport. With a bullet called life.Sajedene

If given the opportunity I would like to participate inTexas Hold 'Em tournament. Instead of calling it a gamble where I leave things up to chances such as the Russian roulette, I call it takingcalculated risk

Aside from the occasional lottery ticket (if the jackpot is high) or instant scratchcard, no.bluezy

Actually I thought that would be more fun, definitely spice things up and wake me up a bit and, I can go for the KO whenever I'm ready XD

I sometimes order out.

can be frustrating when some one calls/re-raises your raise on the flop then proceeds to bust your set with a lucky runner runner straight.----if you are playing no limit you can play him further and most prob win your money back if its a tournament then its most likely going to be your last handpindropviolence

Yeah this kinda thing takes a bit of skills, timing and a lota luck, thats why I call it a calculated risk, just can't win em all

Only with my health :P

Yes, I enjoy going to Vegas quite a bit. -usually gamble somewhere b/w 2,000-5,000 (American dollars) I also enjoy playing Texas Hold'em with friends, though the stakes are much smaller (in the hundreds)rawsavon

Yeah your above post makes sense. It's like a holiday I suppose. I spend thousands when I go snowboarding so it's just the same, being from the UK when I see 2000 dollors I forget that's only like 1100 pounds.

Not really... I just think that if you are going to go to Vegas then you should save up enough to have fun (not be worried about money the whole time) I take several thousand to gamble with, but that does not mean I lose it all (have never lost it all in the end)rawsavon

In GS world, you qualified as a high roller :P

[QUOTE="rawsavon"][QUOTE="Evil_Saluki"] Grrrrr how can you afford to wipe your ass with that much money. You need some more catastrophes in your life!Evil_Saluki

I use to play Texas Hold 'Em a lot over the summer. We would have like 4-8 people with usually a $10 buy in.

Hitting the 25 jackpot repeater in a crusty old arcade that stinks of dog-ends qualifies you as a High Roller here.

Do I gamble? Let's see... If I roll a 7 or 11, I don't gamble and if I roll a 2,3 or 12... I gamble

"rolls"

7...I don't gamble

Sometimes i bet a little over a game of pool or snooker. Depending on how you bet, the money can go up or down fast.

No, I'm banned from all casinos.

you have to be gambling 50,000 + (at least) to be a high roller there -they have special rooms with 1,000-10,000 tablesrawsavon

Add to that, if you are high enough of a roller some casinos will make special arrangement for such individuals, ie: free room, food, speicalflight and limousine services etc. just to secure a client to gamble at their casino. Services reserve for someone who drops hundreds of thousands or millions of dollar a night
