I do not! Gambling makes me so nervous and I hate knowing that I'm likely to lose money. It literally gives me anxiety. I recently joined a babywearing group on FB where people raffle off their wraps/carriers and I have such a hard time dipping even if I love the carrier. The only way I can rationalize it to myself is that this particular group donates a portion of the money to charity.
DH, on the other hand, loves to gamble! He plays poker every Thursday and plays at a casino once a month.

I'm a very responsible gambler, I take mly set amount of money and when it's gone it's gone. I go into it not planning on winning, just do it for some fun. My DH enjoys blackjack so I play with him, otherwise I'll play video poker or the occasional slot machine. We don't do it more than 1-2x a year.

I've never been to a casino before, but my husband and I love to bet casually (with friends/co-workers) on sports (basketball tourney, golf, pick-ems, etc.) DH also does fantasy baseball and football. We have a line item in our budget for "wagering" Most bets aren't over $10. DH is in an expensive fantasy football league and won $800 dollars two years ago so we use that as our gambling money pot.

Nope. I gambled occasionally when I was single and always written it off as money for entertainment. I never expected to win anything and in the end, I'd rather buy shoes!

Not really, but I'll watch DH play roulette. The key is to basically see it as spending money instead of "losing" it. You spend $X amount, have some fun and if you win some it's a bonus, but shouldn't be expected.
We don't go to a casino very often, maybe twice a year.

I'll play the slots some. DH loves his blackjack. We go downtown for events and shows a lot, but we don't always gamble. We did last week and lost a lil money, but we always save for it and don't expect to come home w it

I don't mind the slot machines, but I can't blow a ton of money, maybe $20 - 40. I'm too risk averse!

No - I don't mind spending my money but I like to get something for it in return; which gambling can't guarantee.

Not really. If I'm at a casino I'll play the slots. I won $86 one time and felt like a baller. Woo hoo!

I like the odd scratch crossword now and then but that's about it lol

Yes, but I'm really conservative with it. I will play $20 on the slots when we go to the casino or I will play $100 at the blackjack table and if it's gone, I stop.

No, it makes me nervous! I've done a couple of wrap dips like you mentioned, but never over $5. I won some money on a slot machine once, but other than that it makes me anxious.

I like casinos, but not gambling. I'd rather use the money to shop!
