Ah - right. Spending 2 quid to get 50p back is classified as a win. No
wonder I don't gamble. ;-)

No as I don't mind giving money to charity either. I really don't expect to win either, I donlt expect to win when I donate £10 a month to the RSPCA or oither charities I give to.
I consider as soon as I place my bet that I have lost the money in the same way it goes out of my account for buying charities , food or beer the money goes end of storey.
I only think I gamble if I spend my last pennies on a ticket while I haven't enough to live for the rest of the week.

I also walk out of teh door and every step is a gamble I cross the road will I get knocked over, will I get cancer, lifes a gamble and a coup,e of quid a week for me is NOT a gamble, becuse I wonlt notice the loss when I lose..
