What type of gambling was your poison?

What was your biggest win & loss?

Wow that is pretty big money! My mum used to be addicted to slot machines and would keep us in the pub til all hours even though we had school the next day. One day she just decided to stop, and the thought of them makes her feel physically ill now.

Did you just decide to stop one day, or did you seek professional help?

How did you quit?

Are you still tempted?

No question but a massive congratulations?

Do you avoid all gambling or just slot machines (like, do you ever play the lottery or have a game of bingo?).

Do you think gambling laws have become too relaxed? Does the easy availability of gambling opportunities (TV adverts, smart phones, internet, funky bingo whatever) mean more people can become addicted?

Well done Natalie! And what a lovely, lovely husband you have, he's a keeper for sure!!

What attracted you to the slots in the first place?

Good effort dragging up a post from 2012!

Wow.

Perhaps this is how we resurrect the Otters (I have visions of some kind of Zombie apocalypse now!!) dig up all the old threads!

Hahahaha!

I was trying desperately not to post on this because its so out of date, but now you guys have its fair game! So inspiring you needed to say so 5 times?

I don't really have anything to ask but thank you for being so honest X

Didn't realise how old this was.

How odd the writer would pick a wedding forum to search for gambling stuff surely there's more apt forums

This has made me realise how much I miss the "ask me anything" threads! They were great for a good read!

Oh - was "ask me anything" a theme? I get it now. I thought it really odd that the OP had started a thread with such a random statement and an invitation for questions!

I google imaged "Zombie otter" ...

Lol! Well that seems appropriate SW! I've seen a couple of the ask me anything posts since I've been here, just trying to think what mine would be....

I've never seen these before but I just googled "hitched ask me anything" and it came up with quite a few!

gosh there's loads! Clicked on some, funny to see all the old names i'd completely forgotten existed

There were a fair few at one point.

I never did one myself but always enjoyed reading them- I found out quite a lot of useful stuff!

If anyone fancies bringing them back, i'm all for it!

What topic would we all have for our AMA then? I don't think I'm interesting enough to start one. I really haven't done anything that out of the ordinary.
