I am very fond of those memories, in which I was given £1 in 2ps by my grandma and told I could only spend them in the pier. And didn't see that blowing this £1 on the 2p slot machines as a bad thing.
I would never, however play on the 10p ones. I had learnt from my peers that the 10p slot machines stole your money. Of course, I know now that ALL slot machines steal your money, whether they are 2p machines or 10p machines.
If gambling is bad, I guess I must be a bad person. I visit the races quite frequently and I bet. I place two bets on the Grand National every year, and this year I won around £24, off the £2 I put on.
Granted, I don't bet thousands, but that shouldn't matter. I actually place the bet - and according to this post - that is what is "bad".
I am not ashamed that I am a member of the Gala Casino in Wolverhampton.
I will say... Gambling can be bad when it becomes an addiction, and starts to affect your life and your family.
