Let's say for whatever reason you could not gamble. How would you spend your money that you currently set aside for your gambling bankroll? Do you have another hobby or activity which you would spend that money on?

For me, it would be travel. I currently do spend a lot of time and money traveling, but if I could not gamble, I would probably funnel my yearly gambling bankroll to take longer and more expensive trips around the world.

Then again, maybe I would buy a red sports car...

Id probably buy piece by piece my own 'casino' at home.. Id not use it for more then entertainment and looks and sort of showing off.. no exchange of money... but Id go all out with a little cashiers cage and custom chips- everything down to the letter... as a sort of hobby.

Otherwise... guns and gold maybe? I dont know lol

on a room devoted to all things Video Game. A kick ass home cinema sytem to play them on. Every console, and some big ass Laz-E-Boys. A dedicated beer fridge. A pool table. Neon Signs. A home bar. And a huge house to fit this room into. But I still dont think my lifetimes gambling money would cover it.

My yearly gambling budget is $600, used exclusively in Vegas on my vacation. If I didn't gamble, I'd probably spend that money on other things vacationing elsewhere.

yes, to me it is vacationing money, so that's where it would go.

Travel, or cars. I drive for fun, not as much as I used to because my reflexes aren't any good any more.

This is my last time at Pocono, I think it was 2005.

If I didn't gamble, I'd have less money to spend. I funded both my summer and my winter vacations last year with gambling proceeds.

Of course, I don't get very much fun out of the gambling itself; "fun" gambling and "winning" gambling sometimes seem to be mutually exclusive.

I could easily spend it on booze and ale; I quit drinking more than ten years ago, about the same time I started gambling.

Cost has been about the same.

I miss that Laphroaig and Bridgeport IPA ...

I have been searching for one of those blackjack hole peek mirrors, I have seen some online for $75 some on ebay for $125 I called TechArt that makes MaxTime which is the mirror that is usually used in many tables and they said they do not sell to individuals, they only provide a service where the product is changed every year, the lady did not seem interested in selling me a used one, maybe when I am in vegas in a few weeks I can go to their office and offer to buy the team lunch for one, it would be a great addition to my table, and better than spending $500 for one of those card scanner/ red light green light ones. If anyone has any info how to get one for less than $100, let me know. The one that was for sale did not look like the MaxTime/ tech art ones, it was different.

I do not have a specific amount set aside for gambling, rather I just gamble when I feel like it for any amount I feel like wagering. Luckily I am still on the right side of the bell curve, however I always spend more than I win when I go to Macau so if I never went there I guess I would spend the money on electronics, designer clothes and clubbing.
