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.

You are equating bookies to a charity? Sounds like denial to me. ;-)

I've only once ever used a bookies and it was when I was at school my nan asked me what horse I'd like to bet 50p on (she'd pay, was that gambling).
I bet on the grand national on a horse called sleeping partner (because she woke me up to ask) and I won a couple of quid I think I was about 8 or so. I've never betted on a horse since or been intoi a bookies.

I do have some £1 premium bonds is that gambling too. ?

If I walk home and there's a thunderstorm is that gambling with my life as more people die from lightning strikes than win the jackpot.
