Skill Games

[Antony OLBG]

1) What role does gambling/ gaming play in your social life?
No much. We sometimes go racing as a family or with friends and bet a bit, and also sometimes end a night out at the casino but thats more cus I dont like dancing

2) How much of your online winning do you think is down to luck? (Do you believe that winning in online gambling/gaming comes from luck, chance, skill or a combination )?
As The Shark says in the short terms a reasonable amount is luck but in the long term very little.

3) How does it feel when you gamble/game online?
It depends on the bet. If I feel Ive been really clever and spotted a great value gamble (like when St Louis beat Dallas last year) then I get a real buzz, but most of the time I "bet and watch" to make what Im watching more interesting

4) Has gambling/gaming had any positive influence over your life? If so in what way?
Yes definitely - I met my wife by betting a bloke £2 that she would beat him at Pool. She won, we got talking

5) Has gambling/gaming had any negative influence over your life? If so in what way?
Maybe slightly - I definely lose money overall but nothing I cant afford. Id say its comparable to the money I also waste on stupid gadgets and things like that. Its debateable if its wasted money if you enjoy it.

Hi

1.Gambling/Gaming plays no part in my social life

2. There is no such thing as 'luck' its skill that makes someone appear lucky.

3. How does it feel? It feels the same as playing a Playstation game, after all its just numbers on a screen.

4.Possitive influence? I would have to say maybe, it has brought a new degree of focus.

5. Negatives, Hmm check out my Tipster Comp Balance

ps. shouldn't Students be asking the serious questions that affect us all:

1. How much beetroot do you have to eat to turn your wee red?

2. If you fart into a balloon is it still flammable a week later?

3. If you bottle rice pudding and leave it long enough does it turn into Saki?

4. Does live yoghurt realy cure fungul fanny infections?

5. Why do more women eat peanuts than swallow? They are both salty and full of protein!

Hi there!

1) What role does gambling/ gaming play in your social life?

I am playing quite a lot but just for entertaining purposes. I like going out to the casino which is kind of social activity:)

2) How much of your online winning do you think is down to luck? (Do you believe that winning in online gambling/gaming comes from luck, chance, skill or a combination )?

For gambling it's total luck. However, there are some skill games and betting tips that can bring you money.

3) How does it feel when you gamble/game online?

Fantastic:) Though I prefer real world gambling.

4) Has gambling/gaming had any positive influence over your life? If so in what way?

Well, just spending some good time. Not any great influence.

5) Has gambling/gaming had any negative influence over your life? If so in what way?

No. I am just loosing some money occasianaly but I am enjoying it:)

Welcome Paulev
Theres no free advertising on here btw if thats what you are thinking

[paulvev]

lol. Thats OK. I have my own advertising sites which run ok. I'm a full time Network Marketer online, but always had an interest in the bookies too. Just like many of us..ive been stung...and won!

I wasnt looking at advertising here, just an introduction. I have a large vbulletin forum of my own so understand exactly where you're coming from. Sometimes, its good to get away from it all..and this seemed to be the place to do it.

I'm still reading through posts , so hopefully ive introduced myself in the right section.
