I lost about £50 in a game of three card brag.

That was enough to put me off the 'excitement' of gambling. You always think you are going to carry on winning,but you don't

I bet 2 shillings each way on a horse once when I was encouraged to do so. It lost of course and that was my morning's gardening earnings down the chute!

I have never bet since!

Nice article A lot of the Card Runners boys have made the trip over from the US of A and have been blogging about the experience

I'm still miles away from being one of said millionnaires - I dropped $2500 last week

Although as usual it glosses over the losses - to show Gus as the player with the biggest wins figure is a tad misleading when they guys been bailed out my times than Pete Docherty!

Yep, keep your chin up and perhaps update your cv ?

Don't keep chasing it and get in too deep, fine line between giving it a fair chance and flogging a dead horse, don't mean to sound negative as I would love to see you minted from gambling and over analysing which Bentley to buy or whether to buy a house in Spain or Florida.
