I remember I always thought it was dumb people gambled, one night my junior year in HS. I was invited over to my friends house and told to bring 5 dollars for a game of poker. I never played poker but I was excited to, I lost my ass and continued to at the game all summer.

steak, I don't care if it's your first coin flip, a hand of blackjack, or some old nag, the gambling gods always let you win your first bet. :toast:

My grandparents always loved the casinos and would bring me along to Foxwoods, etc, and eventually moved to Vegas.. that started me early, and I would play poker and shit in high school. Now I don't even bother with that, just straight sports betting

I was in High School and worked at a steel foundry in the summer for cash. An older co-worker invited me to go to the track because he wanted company. That was it, I was hooked.

Thirty years later and losses over $1 million...was an expensive date.
