Went to Vegas the first time last year with no luck and I really disliked losing money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-gamble-or-play-the-lottery#post-25287 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 12:21:34 +0000 mrskc 25287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband will usually pick up a lotto ticket and two scratchers when we go to the grocery store. That's the extent of our gambling though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-gamble-or-play-the-lottery#post-25279 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 12:17:57 +0000 mrsjyw 25279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We live 30 minutes from 4 (1 in Windsor) casinos in downtown Detroit. DH is a blackjack player, sometimes I play the slots. They have a nice hotel that we get comps for often so we do a weekend stay a couple times a year. We've been to Vegas a couple of times, and overall I think DH is up? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-gamble-or-play-the-lottery#post-25271 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 12:12:00 +0000 Mrs.KMM 25271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't buy lottery tickets but DH and I definitely enjoy going to the casinos. I always set a limit on what I'm willing to lose and walk away when I'm done though.</p> <p>We like playing blackjack, paigow poker, craps, and DH plays a little poker sometimes. We've had some really successful Vegas trips too where we've walked away up quite a bit (although they've been balanced out by other trips where we lose). All in all though, it works out to be pretty cheap entertainment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-gamble-or-play-the-lottery#post-25262 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 12:04:21 +0000 heffalump 25262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't do either. Guess I don't feel lucky enough that I'd actually win anything big. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-gamble-or-play-the-lottery#post-24982 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 23:11:12 +0000 Mrs. D 24982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I buy tickets once a month when I buy my monthly bus pass. Once in a while I buy one mid month, like this month.<br /> I've never won anything big, but it's fun to dream! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-gamble-or-play-the-lottery#post-24909 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 22:20:46 +0000 tequiero21 24909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i love gambling, but i don't consider myself a gambler. i always set a limit on what i'm willing to lose and walk away when i'm done. i just love playing games and winning money at the same time haha. although lately, i've just been losing. my husband loves buying lotto tickets - the scratch off ones. he'll spend $20 on ONE card! ugh. we'll occasionally buy the mega or powerball if it gets really big. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-gamble-or-play-the-lottery#post-24898 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 22:13:09 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 24898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm definitely not a gambler. If I buy a lottery ticket I feel like I'm throwing away my money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-gamble-or-play-the-lottery#post-24868 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 21:44:15 +0000 eeh 24868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't gamble because I hate the smoky smell of casinos and they're just too overwhelming for me. I get in there and don't know where to go or what to do so I turn around and walk right back out. Also, never bought a lottery ticket.</p> <p>Husband bought a lottery ticket the day of our wedding with sentimental dates which I thought was really sweet (even thought we didn't win anything) and he has gambled one or two times when he's stuck in a hotel for work and the guys are bored. They'll walk over and play a little. He won $87 last time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-gamble-or-play-the-lottery#post-24841 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 21:25:37 +0000 mrbee 24841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like card games where I can smack talk... I used to love to play Tunk in high school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-gamble-or-play-the-lottery#post-24699 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 18:26:51 +0000 junebugmama 24699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I play poker. I'm pretty good and have made good money for us when needed lol. We live about 30 minutes from major casinos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-gamble-or-play-the-lottery#post-24695 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 18:20:40 +0000 Rosie Girl 24695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will gamble every once in a while, but not that often or that much money! Its so hard to see it disappear so fast! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-gamble-or-play-the-lottery#post-24690 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 18:13:40 +0000 MsMini 24690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do play the lottery from time to time (usually when there is a bigger jackpot we go out and buy a ticket). We are not regular players in any way, shape or form. In terms of other gambling, we did a little bit when we went to Vegas, but neither of us was too big on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-gamble-or-play-the-lottery#post-24682 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 18:02:10 +0000 BSB 24682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ecogirl: Haha. Yup, I remember going to Casino and asking my husband what I should do next. I got fed up asking him (because I didn't get it), so I just quit and resorted to people watching. People watching is cheaper! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-gamble-or-play-the-lottery#post-24675 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 17:55:16 +0000 ecogirl 24675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha! I love your post! We do love to go on casino vacations but I'm a terrible gambler! My husband plays poker and blackjack and I like just standing there cheering him on. I've tried to play and I end up just looking at him and saying What should I do? haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-gamble-or-play-the-lottery#post-24671 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 17:50:58 +0000 BSB 24671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't gamble but every now and then I will play the lottery because something will happen to me that makes me think I'm lucky. I'm usually end up not being lucky. I only spend about $1 or $2 and it's not a habit. I think in a year, I'll spend about $10 total in lottery tickets. It think it's wishful thinking. Plus, I don't need 100 million dollars. I would be happy to win 10k or even 1k or $500. haha</p> <p>I don't gamble because I tried once and I lost a lot of money. Ok, it was $60 in about 30 minutes. After that, I told myself I'm not a gambler. I guess I would rather take that $60 and buy a nice pair of shoes with that money. haha.</p> <p>Although, I think my husband would disagree with me. He thinks I already gamble with our money. He says that I buy clothes sometimes and never end up wearing it. LOL. </p> <p>Do you gamble or play the lottery? </p>
