    Why do you gamble?

    Well, honestly, what are your reasons?

    Edit: Well, I meant to post a poll that was 5 options, but polls aren't working. Tried twice now.

    1. Money
    2. Fun/Action
    3. Even mixture of both
    4. Mainly for fun/action, but possibility of making money.
    5. Mainly to make money, but the action is nice.

    The action, like most wins and losses don't matter. Of course prefer to win but it doesn't matter as long as you got action.

    Watching a d-3 game with teams I don't care about is more exciting with a few bucks on it

    some might do it because there's something at the top of the mountain, some might do it for the experience, some might do it to write a book about it, some may do it for the thrill

    relax buddy

    Ok Greg's anatomy I just got home and I have my feet up in my study as I get ready to make some money tonight. So I'm relaxed. U on the other hand seem confused. Sexually confused is often the culprit . Care to elaborate?

    I don't gamble out of my means and put others in my family at risk...so why seek help? Most gamblers deep down know they aren't going to win but want the action, and most people will say they do it to win money, but most of them aren't being 100% honest.

    Most guys here lose money and are hypocrites. When the wife buys something they get pissed, yet she actually comes home with something in her hands.

    So you pretty much admit here that gambling is for fools. Good.

    I do it for the action. It makes me feel alive when I am gambling. I've never made any money gambling since I've lost more than I made. I just make sure to just spend what I can afford. The action of betting is the only thing that gives me a natural high in life. Without it, I have no reason to live. Gambling is life!!!

    It's not addiction if you do in moderation.
    Whether it's gambling, drugs, foods, sex, online gaming etc..
