The psychology of having a bet.

Betting appeals to me because it can take an uninteresting sport and make it much more enjoyable when you have money riding on it. Greed and selfishness, I don't feel any of this. Excitement above all.

More Years.

I Have Never Played The Pokies.....Bet On The "Glue Pots"......Or Any Other Form Of Gambling.

I Think What I'm Doing Is Pretty Harmless......

Been invited to Randwick Races a few times

I think the whole thing is retarded, dress up to the nines, ultimately cross paths with a bunch of drunk bogans, watch them blow a whole bunch of money on win and place bets where they are only going to win back a few times what they bet anyway

I don't get pokies, how do you not know they are rigged

At most I will buy a $5 scratchie now and then, they are fun, usually when I am at a cafe waiting for someone

 

Well if you aren't into sports then you wouldn't be into betting.

 

Bumping into drunk girls done up at the races is what I go to the races for. I'd be lucky to even watch a race sometimes, it's the biggest perv on high class society where the only objective for many women is to simply look better than the next.

Haha, anyone betting on races and shit aren't getting the point of being at the races.

 

Yeah, that parts kind of the opposite for me.

The type of guy that goes to the races, the big events anyway, mostly seems to be like tradies. Who can be fit and well dressed otherwise, but then they have like a neck tattoo which just gets me angry, or something that looks like a coat button in their earlobes

Or those hipster twats with the Ned Kelly beard and the man bun who otherwise have a toned body and fitting snuggly in their suits.

I don't even know exactly why it gets me so angry. Ned Kelly beard especially, I just want to punch them in the face. No dude, you don't look cool, you look like a fucking idiot

 

Yeah, cause the tradies see it from my perspective as well so they're all there for a perv too. avin' a beer 'avin a perv avin' a punt.

 

I Have To Agree With Almost Everything You Said Here......I Hate The Tatt's The Most......Followed

By Those Beards.....But Oddly Enough I Don't Mind "Man Buns" And "Gauged Ears"......



Cheers Glen.

 

My wife and I have played the Florida Lottery every week since it began in '88 or '89. We play the same two sets of numbers and are way behind on winnings, of course. But, like they say, you can't catch a fish if you don't have a hook in the water. Actually, the reason we play is so we can sort of daydream..., "If our numbers hit?" We say that when we hear of a good charity, see a really cool condo on the beach, or just want to try to belittle some politician or lawyer with some billboards.

 

I'll play poker at low stakes, or occasionally throw $10-$20 at slots or the lottery. Beyond that, gambling doesn't interest me at all. I can count on two hands the number of times I've sat at a non-poker gambling table with the intention of placing a bet. Never sports bet. Never played the ponies. Just don't see the point in it.

 

If I wanted to piss my money away I'd go down to my local for a few pints. The company of Friends & neighbors, music and good craic on a Friday night is far better that any sportsball match on TV.
Besides, I used up all my good luck when I snagged my mate.

 

If I was into betting, I would never loose a penny.

Simply opening a betting shop is the only way to win.
