Off Topic: Do You Gamble?

It’s Melbourne Cup day today, probably the biggest day of the year for bookmakers. Will any of you be having a flutter?

In fact, does anyone here gamble at all? I remember a while back the South Australian government ran a terrible bus advertisement trying to link gambling to video games. That was a bad time.

But an interesting twist: more and more bookmakers see eSports as a growth area for their business and a way to get younger people gambling.

Anyway — are there any gamblers here? What do you gamble on?

For many, gambling is a popular pastime, but it can be hard to know if your gambling is getting out of control. If you feel like you need someone to talk to, you can call Lifeline on 13 11 14.
