Title: Is Poker our only Vice...and i mean gamblling Post by: patman on August 12, 2005, 10:36:12 AM just wondering about what other forms of gambling blondites partake of.
I personally like the horses and occasionally although not recently would have a punt on the horses. I do however keep the 2 distinctly seperate Do most blondites just play poker or do you folks indulge in other sports/betting to help raise a bankroll for poker or vice versa. Title: Re: Is Poker our only Vice...and i mean gamblling Post by: AdamM on August 12, 2005, 10:39:01 AM other that the occassional football bet, nothing.
no horses or dogs and not one penny on the wheel of fortune. Title: Re: Is Poker our only Vice...and i mean gamblling Post by: Ironside on August 12, 2005, 10:40:45 AM i occasional bet a pint on the results of a poker tourny but my reputation of a champion tipster means i get no takers
Title: Re: Is Poker our only Vice...and i mean gamblling Post by: TightEnd on August 12, 2005, 10:43:23 AM occasional spread better on sports, with a seperate small bankroll. don't do the horses anymore, and steer clear of all casino games
Title: Re: Is Poker our only Vice...and i mean gamblling Post by: Karabiner on August 12, 2005, 11:00:28 AM I do quite a lot of sports betting, mainly golf, usually on betfair.
My passion is NH racing, but I only play to relatively small stakes and have few bets, although I do follow the flat to a lesser degree. Title: Re: Is Poker our only Vice...and i mean gamblling Post by: Heid on August 12, 2005, 11:25:05 AM I don't bet on the horses, or the footy, or play any fruit machines in the UK, but I am a bit of a slot whore when in Vegas - penny and nickel machines have given me jackpots of 1278 and 593 bucks respectively.
Oh and I do dabble in 3 card poker only low limit downtown though. My other half was obsessed with Baccarrat for a while - I soon weaned him off that though. I have to say I can't wait to play the Star Wars slots next time I am in Vegas :) Sad X-Gen gal that I am :) Heid xx Title: Re: Is Poker our only Vice...and i mean gamblling Post by: Maroon on August 12, 2005, 11:51:31 AM Nothing. Just poker.
Had two members of my family get addicted to gambling (Horses & slots) and loose many, many thousands. Title: Re: Is Poker our only Vice...and i mean gamblling Post by: matt674 on August 12, 2005, 12:00:43 PM I used to gamble on anything and everything - if it moved then chances are i'd gamble on it. Then i discovered poker and soon realized that i could actually MAKE A PROFIT gambling!! Stopped all other forms of gambling now apart from the occassional bet on the weekend football coupon.
"monkey boy" Title: Re: Is Poker our only Vice...and i mean gamblling Post by: patman on August 12, 2005, 12:00:53 PM Horses,
a great day out and meetings like cheltenham festival brilliant...but as a way to make money consistently for a living ,,no Dogs mystery and i just feel too dodgy and worse odds football used to do fairly well in champions league and singles or doubles but getting married made the bets i did unacceptable..in my eyes not the wifes. never was a one for coupons that aside i now just have a bet on the horses as a social event and play poker as a long term learning curve(for curve read life long rollercoaster ;D) Title: Re: Is Poker our only Vice...and i mean gamblling Post by: Ruru on August 12, 2005, 12:08:54 PM Grand Slam Tennis betting is my specialty - roll on Flushing Meadows!
Title: Re: Is Poker our only Vice...and i mean gamblling Post by: The Wall on August 12, 2005, 12:52:08 PM I do like to have a bet on the nags, only during the jump season though Im not into cavalry charges. I like to bet on the football aswell although not that regular.......... and I will have a couple of quid in a bandit when im in the pub ;D
Title: Re: Is Poker our only Vice...and i mean gamblling Post by: redsimon on August 12, 2005, 01:32:02 PM The occasional dabble on Footie bets and a few quid here and there on Betfair, never played Casino "house" games (apart from spilling a few promo euros in Casinos Austria Seefeld on Blackjack)...
Title: Re: Is Poker our only Vice...and i mean gamblling Post by: RED-DOG on August 12, 2005, 01:40:23 PM I often gamble with my ability to father children by winding Mrs Red up
Title: Re: Is Poker our only Vice...and i mean gamblling Post by: patman on August 12, 2005, 01:46:46 PM I often gamble with my ability to father children by winding Mrs Red up lol and i`ll bet ye never ever call her bluff :o On the subject of puggies/fruit machines anyone into those wee books and shortcutes that guarantee money Title: Re: Is Poker our only Vice...and i mean gamblling Post by: MrMoves on August 12, 2005, 01:49:09 PM LOL Red!
I bet on football and rugby league. I play blackjack in casinos and lose but have made regular profits from it online - although thats not really gambling. ;) Title: Re: Is Poker our only Vice...and i mean gamblling Post by: dan on August 12, 2005, 02:25:42 PM i try not to gamble on anything but poker because i think you can make money from your own ability. unfortunatley i do play the roulette wheel now and again. i used to be mad on this before i found poker i could win hundreds and sometimes thousands in a very short space of time but then just as easily lose in a very short space of time. i find poker a more enjoyable way of gambling and it is mainly down to me whether i win or lose rather than what number a little white ball lands on. i am tempted by the wheel when i go to the casino and play live poker. i also bet on the horses but only when i actually go to the meeting
Title: Re: Is Poker our only Vice...and i mean gamblling Post by: Rachman on August 12, 2005, 06:43:37 PM I'm a sucker for fruit machines unfortunately... being drunk increases my gambling spirit. Just can't stop myself.
So if you're ever at my table at 2am I'll be gambling, not playing..... Title: Re: Is Poker our only Vice...and i mean gamblling Post by: tikay on August 12, 2005, 06:47:31 PM Just poker. My Gambling Addiction was 100% cured by my Poker Addiction....... Title: Re: Is Poker our only Vice...and i mean gamblling Post by: Banksie on August 12, 2005, 07:04:41 PM Hello Pat, my name is Paul and I am sick LOL
My only real outlet is poker but... when down the pub today, we all had a sweep stake on the first wicket to fall in the third test (Ausies batting) twas only a fiver but these arwe the only real bets I get involved in, it's a bit of fun between mates and to be honest that's the best thing about it, nags dogs, anything that moves LOL as long as it's fun! :) Title: Re: Is Poker our only Vice...and i mean gamblling Post by: jonthomson on August 12, 2005, 10:03:43 PM Occasional football bet (especially silly first to score sweeps in the pub), but I'm hopelessly addicted to those quiz machine things. Although if I just stuck to the one I can play it wouldn't even be a leak :)
