Regrets, Yes, I wish I'd got into the game 10 years sooner.
Play hard for 5 or 6 years then get out of the game with some decent cash to make myself legitimate. ie. Own Business, Property etc.

when you say gambling, i take this covers everything like horses,dogs,lottery,scratchcards etc not just fruits ?
im not a full time player but i do still spend about 50-100 quid a week.
profits vary from week to week,mostly bad weeks though

, although i have had a few good wins on the gee gee's lately with very good returns.
its the horses i really like.

Nah I just have a few K in the bank keep £300 on me and leave the bank card at home.
Try to make £100 each day then what ever is over the 300 mark I will leave at home..... easter is round the corner all the holiday camps open

Well I honestly make about £40 - £100 per week. and very occasionally lose about the same.
I started playing about 14 or 15 years ago and believe me, at first I lost alot of money before I realised where I was going wrong!
I now only play 4 m/cs out of a choice of about 12 in our town, although i admit I haven't been to see if any of them have changed in the last 2 mths.
Space Invaders, Mental Money Monsters, Suits u Sir and Rocket Money.

Thats my story too, i used to play any old machine in my younger years. With age and experience you learn to be selective

If you know the signs any stay disciplined, ie dont just have a couple of quid on a BFM etc. Then it pretty easy to break even at worst!!

I try to spend nothing from my own pocket, so to speak. I'll generally go out and do some Extremes so I have a float. I'll buy food and petrol from my profit. Last week I finished £80 up this week I'm already £200 up (had a touch on a Slotto yesterday). I go out to play 2/3 times a week. I work a driving job with evening shifts which can be useful as I pass a lot of pubs on my routes at work so I can have a quick look through the window to see what they've got.
I do stick a tenner on my Coral account no more than once a week.
