Australia's escalating addiction to gambling

Quote:

They are the machines that anti-gambling campaigners in Australia say have the addictive "force of cocaine" that are fuelling an avalanche of debt, divorce and misery.

Gambling losses in Australia are at a record high after punters frittered away almost A$24bn (£14bn; $18bn) in a year, according to data compiled by the Queensland state government this month. More than half was lost on poker or slot machines at pubs and clubs.

I wonder what's the longer odds: betting on Australian one eyed bandits, or betting on American social security? :hmmm:

The way he plays Craps ain't the way you and I think of it, STEED...

How long have the Aussies had their gambling laws, Vendor?

As for US Social Security there em2nought, it's fine. Just ask a politician... 'Course, don't look at the ledger, it's in red ink and will make your eyes pop, like the rest of the "budget"... :O: (we need that "smilie" to be able to do a raspberry for us... :03:) I think they've been gambling too!

Didn't look at the article but if its a Queensland issue then that explains a lot. Not much in the way of work up in the Sunshine state.

The only betting I do and it all depend on how much I have left in the end of the month, that decide how much I can bet is

Horserace and football

When it comes to football I use bet on something called tips13-Where you have to figure out the outcome of thirteen football matches-If it's a home win(=1) or draw(=X) or the visitor wins(=2)

Horserace here it is V75 who is my favorite. You have to guess which horse is going to wind i each of the 7 races.
