I got an e-mail today from totesport telling me I had free money to spend in their casino (the usual BS) and it got me wondering - does anyone here do much gambling? I used to bet on who would kick off a football match (although you get roughly 2/1 on the odds, it's very regularly the away team that kick off) and made a fair bit of money doing it. I once put £200 on Arsenal to kick off against Liverpoo in the Champions League one year. My dad got very confused when I let out an almighty cheer as we kicked off. Good times.
So yeah, anyone else ever do betting? Or indeed anyone ever try their hand in the online/physical casinos? I used to do a bit of blackjack when I was at uni, you'd sign up to a place, they'd match your deposit and you had to gamble, say, a total of £2,500 before you could withdraw what they matched in your deposit and you'd generally lose a few quid on your total, but when you put in £100, they give you £100 and you end up with only £180 you're still £80 up. Was quite good fun as a student as I obviously wanted to avoid studying and it helped put a few extra pennies behind the bar.
