    Question What type of gambling have you done in the past year?

    One of the more popular polls in the GPWA forum was started back in 2015 by GPWA member triple7, and folks still respond to it regularly:

    Do you gamble?

    That poll asks how frequently one gambles. Nearly 400 people have voted in the poll and there have been over 400 posts in the poll thread.

    For this week's poll, I post a similar poll, but instead of asking how frequently folks gamble, I ask whether folks gamble on bingo, casino, lottery, poker, sports or something else and whether folks gamble in online or in person.

    I'm looking forward to seeing how folks respond. Besides voting in the poll, please elaborate in a post as well.

    In the past year I've played live poker, slots, roulette, and bet on sports. All of this is done in person except sports betting.

    Bet online regularly as well as the occasional trip to the bookies if account restrictions stop me placing what I want online.

    Also lottery online, occasional lottery ticket in person and the odd few quid in a pub fruit machine or seaside arcade.

    Just sports, specifically Champions League games. Probably some World Cup games in 2 months.

    I have played slots in a casino while waiting for someone, that's it for casinos.

    Lottery I play in person unless I forget or too lazy to go to the store then it's online. LOL

    Aside from the beloved horses...

    I got some Bitcoin.

    A bet that on the current evidence is a fairly spectacular loser!

    But kind of feels like an in-play soccer bet where you're backing the side that's currently 14-0 down at the 45-minute mark to come back and win 20-14 at the final whistle at pretty attractive odds. The good bit being the bet is already on and won't (nay, is hopefully unlikely to) cost more than what's already been wagered.

    But all fairly irrelevant either way. Like any bet, if you can't get to the conclusion point and shrug if/when it all disappears down the drain, then you shouldn't have been betting anyway.

    Ofc it's more convenient for me to bet and play online. I like hanging around the casino tab looking for nice scenarios and FS. But when im in mood, on a friend gathering for ex, i also like to buy some lottery tickets just for fun. Never win but like the process

    I haven't gambled this year, and if my memory serves me correctly, I didn't last year either. In the past, I did it very sporadically, sometimes online, sometimes while traveling as a social activity with friends. But if it weren't for this poll resurfacing, I wouldn't have even realized how long it's been since the last time I did it.

    I gotta say, scandals like these always make you wonder about the behind-the-scenes action, right? It's like a real-life drama unfolding on our doorstep.

    I think what surprised me most was how the case took unexpected turns. It's like watching a plot twist in a movie you didn't see coming!

    In the past year, I've mostly stuck to playing slots online and placing a few sports bets here and there. I find it convenient to play online because you can do it from anywhere without having to make a trip out of it.
