dont.
Other people have expensive hobbies and many people have made bad investments of one sort or another. Its just that gambling has a stigma attached to it so money lost that way makes you feel particularly bad.

Gamblers are portrayed as heavy smokers who lose all their wages or dole money in the bookies .

most of us were betting shop punters once.....at least in the bookies you get some exercise, walking to and from the counter!!!
Report Princess Purple Guitar April 18, 2010 3:43 PM BST
and arm exercises - writing, lifting the paper, throwing the slip as hard as you can into the bin and of course picking up those bloody annoying rolling pens!
Report okthen April 18, 2010 3:45 PM BST

I love punting, love every thing about it, and if i was 18 again i wouldnt change a thing.

Love the battles with bookies.

Its been a long apprenticeship but wouldnt change a thing, my kids are well aware of the pitfalls , and they are the nxt generation of ladbroke bashers.
