Has anyone here developed a problem with this?

    Not a problem per-sey, but on the few occasions I've tried (when I was a bit younger) I got far too carried away so I just avoid anything like that.

    My personality is far too addiction-prone and besides which, you can't ever really win, statistically/mathematically speaking.

    Why do you ask?

    Fruit machines, used to go to the local arcade..then really it was more the lovely lady who worked there.

    Had a casino black jack period the crupier was yum.

    Local bookies/horses I think you can guess the next bit :)

    Used to be mildly addicted to fruit machines, didn't play them all the time but could spend many hours on them, especially when trying to win my money back. I knew it was a mug's game, but winning gave me a real buzz. It's a bit depressing to think of all the money I've wasted on them over the years.

    Not unless you play blackjack and can count cards, but there's a risk of being caught and taken into the back alley and losing your front teeth.

    JM playing blackjack is a million times better than playing roulette.

    You dont need to card count, actually here they have electric card sorters that make that impossible.

    Used to love taking a card when I shouldnt and not when I should to annoy some hardcore gits who moan at you. But my pet hate are people who place a bet on your hand then bitch in your ear.

    Always walked out the casino up, as I never played roulette which is the way to ruin.

    Hate online casinos, oh we gave out 6 million they say not mentioning they took that back 6 times over and dont even give you a free sandwich.

    My only vice now is the lotto, but not for much longer as they are taking the p with the new odds.
