    I'm waiting for NBA playoffs. The regular season is just too unpredictable. Anyone can lose on any day. There's much more certainly with playoffs. It's like the pro version of college football. :D

    Gamble? I got married... Hmmm

    I buy lottery tickets once and a while. Other than that I play these stupid dice games with friends at house parties... Make around $30 a weekend. Stumble in drunk and hand it to my wife. Keeps everyone happy!

    I gamble buying domain names.
    Only bought a lottery ticket once,
    2 fortune cookies told me to, not 1 number came up.

    I don't trust fortune cookies anymore.

    Had a dream about winning a lotto game called "Cash 3" once. I had never bought a ticket before, but did that day, and won $500. Dead on! Never won anything on the lotto again, but of course I only bought, oh, about 3 more times in the last 5 years or so...

    Phew you got lucky on this one, first time i ever played black jack i lost 150 euros, second time less because i remembered my loss, third time lost also.... After 2 years i start to understand the thing and make an average 60 - 90 dollars with 40dollars. Just bet with small money. But one time i got 250 dollars from black jack, i won 10 rounds in a row with 4 players on the table, they hated me :D:D

    The casinos intimidate me. I have never stepped inside one. Just watching it on TV, with the hustle and flow and the crowd -- I guess i'm just not a crowd person.

    Sure was intimidating. First time there. But a nice New Yorker called Tim showed me the ropes.
    He was on a winning streak, but then took a downturn too.
    Memorable experience though.

    I gamble with my friends over the game of snooker, small bets.

    Sometimes i place money on players in cricket, bet in sessions of 10 overs or 15 overs, bet on win-loose, choose players with a bookie and bet on runs, something like $0.5 per run. Not regularly, but sometimes for fun.
