When was the last time you were in a casino? Did you win or did you lose? I like to gamble, but not on casino. We don't have casino near our place. I usually gamble here on our barangay. We have like mahjong session every night. Or a local poker game called "pusoy". Sometime "tong its" a local card game. On some day I win about 500 pesos and some days I lost about the same amount. I gamble socially and usually with friends. I do it once a week, I'm afraid if I do it everyday I get addicted to it. How about you, do you gamble?

We went to Vegas in April. My hsuband won sixty some dollars. I think I basically broke even. I might hae been a few dollars ahead. We had some fun though and saw some friends that live out there. I like to go for the expierence as much as for the gambling. Lot's of good places to eat out there.

Gambling is fun, yes. I think it's good to experience gambling experience once in while. The feeling of winning and losing is invigorating. Vegas is a good place to visit. I hope I can visit the place someday. As long as you can control your self you are ok. You won't get in any trouble.

I do enjoy going to casinos but I don't get to them all that much. The last time was about five years ago in Atlantic City. I do go around my area about once a month to play bingo. It is something that my mother really enjoys doing and it's something for us to do together.

I like bingo to play bingo also but I have not won yet. During fiesta we have bingo in the plaza. It's a good way to socialize with friends.

I have never been to a casino but i do gamble, I play the lottery on a weekly basis, occasionally I will place a bet, for example on the grand national horse race or if I go to the greyhound tracks. I think the key to any form of gambling is to know when to stop, because for every sum of money you win, others have had to lose out.

I dont really like to gamble. We live close to Atlantic City and could gamble but don't really want to, I feel there are better things to spend money on . The last time I gambled was probably putting a few nickels into a slot machine a few years ago and of course I didn't win anything.

No, I don't like gambling. It is throwing money for nothing and the opportunity to win from something like it is very small. So it is better not to risk. Itis my advice. Moreover it may becaome decease very easily.

I love to gamble but not in the casino where they have it rigged and no matter how well you are , it does not up your chances of winning , it is based to much on luck . What we do is get together with friends and play Texas Holden and this way when you win it goes on who was the better player for the night and also it just makes for a night of fun with some friends . I kept track of it for a year and found that at the end of the year we were only up by a couple of cents so even on nights that we might have lost big it meant that in the long run , pretty much everyone gets there money back at some point and none of it is going to the government . I do gamble on line but only do so in free rolls and things like this where I am not wasting my own money but still have the option of winning something . Although I love to gamble I don't see the point in throwing away hard earned cash on a chance that may never happen . I have heard of too many people that become addicted and am not willing to take the chance to becoming addicted as well :)
