Must be a nailed on certainty then !!. Hate to admit it, and I am more than happy to lose but have already put £20 on us to lose at Scunthorpe @ 12/5, Sorry, can't see any other result as things stand at present.  I'm still mulling over putting a significant amount of money on Scunthorpe who are better than 2/1 in a lot of placed. Once bookies start preparing their match odds, surely the odds will change significantly to Scunny odds on and I can probably cash out at a profit before the game even kicks off. |

Personally, I don't gamble. The fear of losing something that I've worked so hard to get, overrides the potential euphoria of winning. |

Oh I totally empathise with your way of thinking. I generally will have 50p on an accumulator now and then, nothing serious. The only time I have done anything too serious was when I had a horse racing tip and put £50 on it. It won at 2/1 so of course I was feeling elated but the stomach was churning so much during the race and I thought - what an idiot if I had lost £50, that I never did anything like that again. |

I was addicted to fruit machines when I was at Uni. Had an epiphany, realised how ridiculous waste it was and stopped for good. Never been in a bookies though. Think its for the best

Yeah I have seen it first hand how difficult addiction can be. Someone I used to be reasonably friendly with (a Berwick Rangers supporter from Wakefield - he was a little odd) would literally spend his last penny on the roulette machines in Ladbrokes. We lost touch some time ago and I hope he sorted himself out but I guess addiction affects everyone differently. I had a casino night some years ago and won a few hundred quid very early on. I was able to think sensibly and cash in the chips and take the profit to use to pay for a meal or put towards a holiday or whatever. I know many people would just carry on until that profit had been eroded. (the house always wins) 'Luckily' I seem to know when to say no. |

I reckon after 7 years of online gambling I’m very much even.
Bet little and often.
Biggest bet was a few years ago when Paul Hart was appointment Notts County manager and I put the entire amount of my account on them going down.
I had two 10 team NFL bets lose by one team a few seasons back. Both times the Oakland Radiers cost me, they only won two games all bloody season.

Never really been a gambler. I've nothing against it - it's just never interested me. ~
Although I did try playing online Poker for a while. It's illegal out here, though, which makes it a bit of a faff so I gave up.

Absolutely. His plight is a lesson to everyone. |

Never ever seen a poor book maker..
The odds are always in their favour.
Bit like bankers loan sharks and insurance companies.
In a previous life I repaired fruit machines and they were always programmed to make an agreed %.

From Jonny Leighfield at the Adver:
EFL contact tells me he is asking about an update this morning RE Morfuni approval but that Town fans shouldn't be worried as it's just a case of properly completing the process. As far as asking for a timelime goes, I'm unlikely to know as the EFL doesn't comment on that. #STFC

I've recently got into buying the odd ticket to win a car on Revcomps.
Thing is, how do you know they are legit? the odds are quite high, so it's unlikely you'll win, but that's fine - as long as it's above board
Alarm bells started to ring when the same person in Chippenham won twice in about a month. But they could be spending hundreds/a quirk of statistic
