Gambling is a horrible scourge on our society, and most people should really avoid it if they can. I might be one of those people, as I love to place a few dollars on the rugby, all with the excuse that it is a hobby, and it’s only a few bucks. The truth is probably that it is sometimes more than a few bucks, and yes I do lose most of the time, and when I win I end up placing it all on the next week’s games. For me it’s not about the winnings, but more about the rush of trying to pick the winners. I often lay my bets at the TAB in Westgate, because their sports area is normally well laid out, with all the games printed and neatly fixed to the wall. Plus they always have the betting slips, and the staff are friendly. This is not a sleazy betting hall, with drunks and Pokie players, nope, this is a place where sensible people can drop a few bucks on a game.
