Meenzer 14083 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I've been once because we wanted another pint somewhere and it seemed to make sense at the time. Otherwise, no - never really had an interest in the forms of gambling involved. Give me a wildly underinformed bet on an Icelandic under-21 match that I can place from the comfort of my home any day.

Gemmill 34677 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Played in the poker tournament at Aspers a few times. Don't go regularly to casinos though. They're depressing places generally IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 27008 Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 Never been to one, not out of any moral issue just the fact I'm not a big gambler as losing money doesn't make me happy and the beer in there would probably be like CT's favourite Spanish tipple, 'orino de Gato'.

adios 717 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 you're always bleeding off money in the long run though, which I could never get past. always thought it was funny that the only time you can gain an edge on the house at blackjack (counting) they bar you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're in a casino. It's not about beating the house, people who try to do that lose. It's about having a laugh and spending time playing card games and getting drunk.

Dr Gloom 19844 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Never been to one in the uk. Loved them in Vegas, been about half a dozen times and have never beaten the casino , despite being a few hundred bucks up at various stages. My problem is never quitting while ahead. It's more fun, it seems, to keep gambling until the money has dried up. It's all the free drinks that do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26506 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 just no, and if you're including poker in that then, lol no  Poker isn't against the house, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adios 717 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 (edited) exactly, though I know rare people who beat the house too. mind I know a couple who do it sports betting too, and I could never do either. poker on the other hand, is easy if you have half a brain and a willingness to learn  ETA: it's worth noting that with a bad enough rake, poker becomes a house game Edited July 24, 2013 by to dumb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFaul 35 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Was banned from Grosvenor in 2000 and the Stanley in 2003, although the second one wasn't really my fault, butbefore that I was never out the casino from 97 to 2003. When Aspers opened I started going in there now and then, but they're bad news generally. Full of cunts too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleeToonFan 1 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Win hundreds a year on sports betting, only been in a casino once though. I remember betting on blackjack online and thinking I was big spuds using the martingale system... Until I almost lost 80 quid to win about a tenner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
