I enjoy the thrill but I make sure to give myself a limit and stop while ahead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gamble#post-1171415 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 11:43:01 +0000 prettylizy 1171415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ginger333: Dude, the Brentwood Lottery this year is pretty kick@$$! $4000 travel voucher + $1000k spending money, New house in Golfview, 3 different cars. I bought the 3 for $100, come on big win! Mama wants a new house!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gamble#post-1171393 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 11:37:31 +0000 Ginger333 1171393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH does and has fun with it - used to do casino and stuff but now it's the occasional scratch ticket and 649 or something (we're not fun now that we're getting old LOL). I'm not a big fan at all. Not much of a risk taker.<br /> I would feel better about it if the money was for a charity though ... that is more tempting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gamble#post-1171352 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 11:27:48 +0000 mrs. wagon 1171352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's super fun but it really scares me when I see high rollers betting hundreds at a time!!</p> <p>We just spent a night at a casino and had a ton of fun. We found our sweet spot of gambling: 2 cent slots with 10 cent bets. We sat there for a couple of hours, drank the free drinks and ended up breaking even! Haha. </p> <p>I actually sat down to a video slot at a bar and didn't know how to play, accidentally played the max bet and won $60. Whoa!! </p> <p>I've had good luck at slots before but now I'm not really willing to bet more than 10 cents at a time ;) </p> <p>We went with Wagon Sr.'s change bucket! It was great because even though we did lose some, we didn't mind. And we took our "winnings" (aka what was left over after we lost some) and paid for lunch the next day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gamble#post-1171316 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 11:20:31 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1171316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like gambling. I hate losing money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gamble#post-1171249 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 11:08:06 +0000 BananaPancakes 1171249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do if we're in a casino or on a cruise. I like $5 slots, especially Wheel of Fortune, and my husband plays poker. And there's a whole lot of sports betting between coworkers and friends, so I don't know if that counts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gamble#post-1171114 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 10:41:45 +0000 Springtime 1171114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, sometimes. My DH is a dealer so he likes to go to other casinos and play, I like to play the slots. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gamble#post-1171108 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 10:40:28 +0000 Mrs. J 1171108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have never been to a casino! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gamble#post-1171103 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 10:40:03 +0000 lovehoneybee 1171103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really. We went to a casino a few weekends ago but stuck to the slots. $25 to spend each. It was fun, but nothing I'd want to do on the regular. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gamble#post-1171001 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 10:14:15 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1171001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I work too hard to earn my money just to lose it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gamble#post-1170988 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 10:12:23 +0000 looch 1170988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, when I spend my money, I like to have it in articles of clothing or things for my house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gamble#post-1170971 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 10:08:50 +0000 wheres_c 1170971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>love to gamble! craps, bj, roulette, everything!<br /> I set a limit when I go though and never spend more than my limit </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gamble#post-1170963 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 10:07:40 +0000 yin 1170963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate gambling.

My aunt and uncle are *serious* gamblers, they think nothing of playing with thousands of dollars. It's crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gamble#post-1170932 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 09:58:48 +0000 swurlygurl 1170932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ehhh... not really. If I'm in Vegas I'll drop $20 at the slots all weekend, but that's it.<br /> DH and I had a big 'Dirty-30' weekend in Vegas for his Sister's &amp; her DH's 30th, so we bought chips and a felt table topper to learn how to play craps. We learned the rules REALLY well and played a lot at home, but when we got to Vegas we were all too scared to actually go up to a real table and play... haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gamble#post-1170922 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 09:56:28 +0000 mrs. bird 1170922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>all the time! just not with money, lol, i don't have money to lose! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gamble#post-1170914 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 09:54:20 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1170914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't usually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gamble#post-1170908 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 09:53:10 +0000 mrsjyw 1170908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is a blackjack player. I sometimes play the slots. I've been pretty lucky with craps. </p> <p>FIL is a HUGE gambler. And won a LOT of money in the past. He's a high-roller so we get a lot of perks at MGM downtown! And he won all of his big winnings on the expensive slots! :)</p> <p>We've bought lotto tickets here and there, no big wins. I'm in a pool at work too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gamble#post-1170905 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 09:51:58 +0000 autumnlove 1170905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love roulette. &lt;3 I can play for hours! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gamble#post-1170901 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 09:50:52 +0000 LuLu Mom 1170901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Occasionally, I'll do video poker or blackjack if we go to the casino with friends, but never spend more than $40. I've only bought one lottery ticket in my life, when the jackpot was at the record. So, I guess I gamble but I don't really enjoy it. If I'm going to lose money I want to see the results hanging in my closet ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gamble#post-1170857 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 09:38:54 +0000 prettylizy 1170857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a real gambler at all, I never buy lottery tickets or scratch off tickets. Both times I was in Vegas I spent maybe $40 in the casino the entire time. </p> <p>I do buy tickets for charity things though, just bought 3 tickets for a local charity and the grand prize is a brand new house that I would love!! I coulnd't resist :) </p>
