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.

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.

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