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.

occasional spread better on sports, with a seperate small bankroll. don't do the horses anymore, and steer clear of all casino games

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.

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 Smiley

Nothing. Just poker.

Had two members of my family get addicted to gambling (Horses & slots) and loose many, many thousands.

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.

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 Grin)

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)...
