Default Gambling

Do you gamble, a little or a lot, and what would you do if you won a lottery?

I like to bet $5.00 on a play-off game with a couple of guys at work, and especially LOVE the harassment that we share in fun!

My husband and I take turns spending $5.00 a week on our provincial lottery.

I would see a money advisor on what to do with the money and then my husband and I would sneak out of town before everybody and his dog wanted to have a piece of the pie.

My math skills are more than sufficient for games like poker. The only problem is, I can't stand it if I lose the objectively better hand, because of a bad river.

i love poker - texas hold 'em and blackjack and play with "play-money" sometimes. i like to sit with my friends online and chat and play.

real money tho i used to do £1 every saturday on the football (soccer) with the guys at the bar i used to work with.

sometimes a flutter at the grand national on the horses too

She refuses to play Strip Poker. Even though when I met her, she had poker nights once a week, she claims she does not know the rules.

.....unless you're bashful and have been cajoled into playing.

A picture comes to my wild imagination of a shy person stripping in front of a wild group of card players....can you just picture it?

Shy people are in general not exhibitionists.
