Yeah it was kinda pathetic wearing my "Startski and Hutch" sun glasses and a huge serial killer hat just to place some bets during Melbourne's Horse racing carnival! A guy nodded at me as I left... a bible study perhaps OH CRAP.
I dont see anything in the bible about gambling...."goddess of goodluck" crap just doesn't make sense, and greed well everyone who works an extra Saturday could be disfellowshiped for "greed." I can now bet from home.....awesome.
007, are you crazy or what! Don't throw your money away.
I have my limits and only bet a few dollars here and there....It's my way of rebeling....I need some nice Cuban cigars too!

Her name is Fortuna.
And yes, she has a wheel as her symbol.
Been gambling online with tAB NZ & Aus for the last 10 years, not big money lost more than won but hey it's fun
I was asked at work to run the sweep for the Melbourne Cup (we don't get a public holiday in SA but not much work gets done on the day). I had to laugh inside - if only they knew. A quick check on the internet to see how it's done and I was like a pro.
Been doing the work sweepstakes on melbourne cup day since I was 16, 1975, if only they knew, hey but they the elders were probably into it too.
When I was a JW, I didn't even get a ticket in the sweep. Didn't buy raffle tickets for charity either. I felt pretty stupid about it though.
When I first started buying tickets, I had a really guilty conscience, I would hide the tickets in my wallet, in a secret part, hoping that my parents wouldnt pick it up & look inside, then there was the problem of if I won, how would I explain the new car, extra money or other prizes, in the end never won a damn thing
Internet gambling...sounds very slightly less risky than a liaison with a massage therapist named "Lola" under a bridge near the railroad tracks on the wrong side of town.
