Gambling: do you, and if so, how much?

Trollheart · 10-19-2015, 10:22 AM

I'd say I never gamble. Not much anyway. Lotto at the weekend, the odd bet on the World Cup every four years. I know some people here gamble a lot more than that, and I just wonder, do you consider you spend more than you should, is the return worth it, and basically what is anybody's view on gambling, whether casually, professionally, online, at casinos, whatever? Has anyone got or had anyone with a gambling addiction? Do you think enough is done in your country/state to tackle it, or do you even see it as a problem?

No pre-judging here; just wondering how people feel about it, if at all.
