I keep telling myself I should take a punt when the pot is a big one but haven't yet.All very true but the fact is that SOMEONE wins every week or whatever. I get suckered in about twice a year when the pot gets so high I can't resist.
The problem with all gambling, but specially the goverment sponsered numbers games, is the people that particiapte the most are the ones who can afford it the least.
I didn't even gamble a quarter in the $1 million machine on my 3 visits to Las Vegas (twice for the Grand Prix, once when it was our destination airport for a family road holiday), I had surprise invitations to a party from several girls I didn't know though.
