    I have only one thing to say to you Villan

    STOP GAMBLING. IT IS A STUPID MUGS GAME. Gambling is an addiction and you sound as though you have a problem. Seek help and stop wasting £100 at a time. How much do you earn a week/month? You will hurt yourself and those around you.

    Please see sense before you put yourself in massive debt or maybe you already have.

    So let me get this right sweetpea, because Im crediting an online poker site with £100, it 'sounds' like I have a gambling problem? So basically what your saying is that everyone who gambles, whether it be poker, bingo, slots, roulette,lottery etc etc all have a problem? FYI, I do not have a problem, I play with what I can afford to lose, if I lose I lose, If I win its a bonus. You obviously have been down that slippery road yourself otherwise you wouldnt have made such a pathetic statement. With regards to how much I earn, mind your own business! Thank you and have a good evening.

    How bizarre. You do know it's possible to gamble for the pleasure and entertainment of the gambling? Or do you think every 10-year-old who puts their 2ps in an arcade machine on holiday is an addict?

    Sounds like using this card is a gamble in itself. Should be thanking them.

    Poker is not gambling and if you had any knowledge on the subject you would make the spurious statement you have

    What is it, if it isn't gambling? The Collins English dictionary defines poker as a card game where players bet on the outcome of hands.

    Villan you are fooling yourself. If you think its 'ok' to waste £100 in the hope that the 'skill' you possess will make you money....you are mistaken.

    No I haven't been down the slippery slope but I know those who have and believe me you are on it.

    You are gambling. You are risking addiction and if you think I was trying to insult you I wasn't. I am trying to help you.

    Its your decision but £100 is alot of money.

    It's not wasted if you decide this is what you're going to spend your money on, and get pleasure from using your money this way.

    Why do you think Villan hopes to make money? Plenty of people gamble for the enjoyment of the game itself.

    Really have to disagree with this, so everyone who takes a drink of wine risks becoming and alcoholic then? I enjoy visiting online casinos every now and then - maybe once or twice a year - and have spent in total over the last 2 years the grand some of... £40! not everyone who plays plan on spending the rent money or the kids uni fund!!! There are people out there who have the odd flutter and leave it at that. If the OP can afford to spend and lose £100 then that is his choice!

    Poker is gambling but its gambling with skill as you can directly influence the result by your own actions.

    That is an element lacking in a lot of gambling e.g. on the horses.

    Even if the OP did have a gambling problem. Why you think they would take notice of a (reasonably unpleasant) random poster on a forum who knows nothing about their personal circumstances is beyond me!
