Omg I do gamble but that is normally on the national

This year put 11 quid in online gaming sites for the national and I am just under 3 quid

So I have lost about 8 quid over a couple of months. For me it's not about the money as the bets are 10 p each but it's just to make it a bit more interesting

I like a bit of a flutter but it's only usually a couple of quid on the football, just to add a little more interest when the results are coming in.

I don't gamble. Aren't fruit machines rigged in the houses favour anyway?

Between myself and my dad we've taken some decent money off roulette tables with minimal loss, walk away as soon as you're up a bit.

Like anything, gamble in moderation.

I don't gamble - even been to Vegas and just spent two pounds pr so. I'd not do that again.

The casinos, machines and betting shops all use clever psychology to hook you. I'd prefer very severe controls over gambling though like to see adults treated as such - but our brains are built for tricks and deception, including self-deception.

Over the course of the season, Leicester won me loads of money. £5 on Leicester to win, Jamie Vardy to score was quite a lucrative bet

I used to work for Ladbrokes. It's crazy how much money some people gamble away. Had one lady in younger than me trying to win back his rent money. He was in tears because he lost it all. 2 days later he self excluded himself from all the shops in the city. Seen him a few times since an he said it's the best thing he ever done.

I buy a couple of scratchcards and a lucky dip. That's the limit of my gambling, couldn't even write a betting slip if you asked me, don't know how.

Father in law is addicted it's a horrendous thing that ruins families.

Las Vegas was a bit sad, not in the glam famous hotel casino's but the smaller ones, and you see people sitting at the same machine for hours and hours

I will not even buy a lottery ticket as you are more likely to drop dead in the next 14 minutes than to win.

Everything that you have in life has to be earned . You achieve nothing by gambling .

I gave up playing fruit machines when it was 50p a pint. I'd give the barman a £1 note and put the change straight in the machine, more often than not it was costing me a quid a pint

It's a mugs a game! My ex husband had £72000 out of our house to pay his debts! Came very very close to losing our house too! I tried very hard to help him but in the end it killed our marriage!!

There is only so much you can do. They have to help themselves in the end and if they don't want too then you have to walk away for your own sanity!

It's a mugs game xx
