Gambling

I play poker online and sometimes down at the casino at Walsall, when I have enough money. I don't have a problem with Gambling. I just love playing the game and enjoy it, whether I come last or finish first. My fiance's dad also plays poker and has been very successful in the past, wining the WSOP (World Series of Poker) in 1996. But he has been playing since he was in his teens and is now 57, so he has bags of experience behind him.




I think you have some people who just can't accept that they've lost and believe that they'll win the next one, so they keep putting more money in till they've either got nothing left or they win. I've been at the casino before today and watched one man put a hundred pounds down on a roulette table and lose it all in one spin, and then go and get another hundred out and put that on the table again to lose it.


People who do this, think that they're lucky, and this is a long on going arguement, but I don't think there's any kind of luck in gambling. It's a game of chance really and with poker, it depends on how well you play the game. Someone who smiles every time they have a good set of cards, will never win any money as they're telling everyone around the table what they've got and everyone will fold. You have to be able to project what you want your opponents to think what you got, e.g. you have 4 5 but your playing like you have AA.
