Go out and get rat- arsed pissed instead. Im sure everyone who play's it try's to guess,predict the next number to win a tidy amount.Even when i do actually find a winner and get my bank upto a nice amount i still have that "one more press" which is a big mistake.I try to limit myself to an amount i can waste away instead nof blowing all that's left in my wallet.
Best way i find is to walk out to play them with a tenner and don't take your wallet or any other cash with you.

And also i usually cash out if i double or triple my tenner, occasionally if i feel i'm way up i'll throw my winnings recklessly, sometimes that pays off though.

If you set a limit you can afford to lose you cannot go wrong, the whole point is "willing to lose" that means you shouldn't chase the loss because you accepted you might lose it.

Accumalation sometimes pays off big:
1.put in a tenner
2.play the game with 20p's and try to get to £20-30
3.up the stakes to 40/60p to try to double up again
and so on.
Its fun when you get lucky and it pays off.

Its not much fun when you go on a bad run and the bookies is ten yards from the cashpoint with four different bank cards when you are addicted like myself. Easy to do £2000. Wait until this "supercasino" opens. It will benefit the owners and shareholders only, provide a few hundred jobs on next to minimum wages and create misery for gamblers (nap).
gambling is not to be encouraged in my opinion.

maybe I should move to the countryside with no net connection. :|

I dont think id ever call gambling 'fun', unless its a 50p quiz in the pub with lots of mates. Roulette is NEVER fun in my opinion.

No i dabble, and limit myself and i do find it frustrating sometimes, i prefer to throw £11 on a yankee on the horses though, thats more fun and it's better than throwing £11 on the lottery too.

Gambling is "supposed" to be a form of entertainment, but i guess if that was actually true you would just buy a cheap roulette setup at home and play by yourself, or just play the demo versions of the game online.

Online gambling is the worst though, for me i have some notes on me and i limit that, online though you do not see the money, it is just numbers, i have lost far more online in a short period of time than i would ever lose if i was holding real cash.
I have to force myself away from online sites.
