Was everyone on here when they started gambling?? And how much did you bet on games when you first started?

NO clue, but I was in high school and used to skip out and go to the track here and there. Certainly around 14 or so. My dad always took us to the track with him and he has bet football for as long as I can remember.

also played dice constantly throughout High School, for more money then you guys might expect. . . it should off with dollar bills and really grew tremendously. . . Alot of money got exchanged in the bathrooms, and in the back of classrooms, and on the bus. . .

Besides the lottery my dad would let me help pick the numbers, the first bet I ever made was on a horse in the Melbourne cup(Australia horse race) I lived there at the time so Dad went and put the bet in for me and the dam jockey fell off.....I still owe him $10 for that bet.....I dont think he still remembers.

by the way I still totally blow at betting on horse racing
