Just wandering when people enjoy gambling the most.

I've gambled with my paypacket before, and gone all out for jp's, streaks, etc, rejecting guarenteed jp in the hope of forcing a streak....etc

I have also started off just with a couple of quid in my pocket sometimes (ie, waiting for a train), and have spent ages contemplated if this crap sounding feature may get me £3!!, knowing i will be out if i lose

It always seems to me that if I have spare money, i win.

If i'm skint i awlays seem to lose the few quid i have, I know its because i have a lesser stake but it always seems to go that way. :)

Also, I find that having 'just a few' quid makes me wanna gamble more .

if you walk into an arcade with a ton in your pocket you can almost guarantee you will drop 50 within a tenner as you have obviously walked in for a "play" then you will end up staying til you lose all that plus most of your ton

gamblings a bitch

Pash hit the nail on the head. You get yourself in the mood for a day of gambling and you a bucket full in the first 5 minutes and carry on and lose the lot. I think thats were the addiction takes over, where we know we should walk away but we love it to much when were winning.

To answer the first question the best time to play is when your minted because theirs less pressure to win or get your money back when your down abit and when your skint and you could really do with winning it f**king never happens :evil: sods law.

i can never seem to win from won money...

if i win a ton one day.... then spend it the next day i will lose it all...

i reckon its a pound conspiracy :D

also, dunno if you find this..... you seem to win early on.. if i go in the casino ill win loads on te first few games. but instead of leaving ill go "well ive walked all the way down here, i dont wanna leave after just 5 mins... plus loads more to play"... then it all goes.

i find that if i play with a few quid and just collect small wins i can keep that bit of money going for half an hour or so but if i had say £30 and put that in one machine it would probably last less than 30 mins, so i prefer to play when skint

The classic mistake i make is that i win a jp (say 25), then i continue playing it until i get back on the board in case it pays again (never does). I usually die, and then decide to get back on the board and try and collect 3 quid and run, its at this point i realsie i'm down to a fiver from that 25, and think to myself "i may as well carry on as i've just put in 20!"

The best feelin is wen u only win a quid or two from a machine, so u move to anova & hit JP wiv the few coins u just won. Or of course wen someone spends ages on a machine wit no joy, u come along wit £2 & cha-ching... :D :lol: :D
