I recently read an article on the Economist regarding which country's residents incur the greatest gambling losses. Fun fact, the country is Australia with each resident losing around $990 per adult. Another fun fact, the most popular way to gamble in Australia is by electronic poker machines.
I was wondering what is your favorite way to gamble. Mine definitely has to be sports, what is yours?

Electronic roulette and penny slots. Some how this where I have the most success.
Sports betting for sure.
Interesting. I would have thought Japan would be on the list, if not at the very top. They've got pachinko parlors everywhere and everyone seems to be addicted to mobile gacha games like Puzzle and Dragons, Granblue Fantasy, and the newly released Fire Emblem: Heroes. I guess maybe since it's not technically considered gambling it doesn't count, but make no mistake, these people lose shitloads of money. Just look at the business model of these games -- seems like a great way to make some money.

I'm always trying to wet the beak with a little sports betting...just remember life's too short to bet the under
Also, SAFTB.
Sports all the way.
Took UCLA yesterday on the money line when they were down 16 points. Got 6-1 odds.

football betting, 3-team parlays on Bovada, then take the winnings out in Bitcoin when it's value has declined and put it in your Wallet when it appreciates. Made an extra $300 doing that.
Take the 4 train all the way up town and get in some cee lo.. Or maybe vegas like a normal person.
Craps anywhere, but particularly at the Borgata in Atlantic City, I love that you can be the dick who actively bets that someone is gonna fuck up a roll, or on the flip side getting the hot hand and have people fake love you for 5 minutes. A terrible way to make money, but a great group game to go with a watered down old fashioned.

Slots, the wheel of fortune ones. When you hit a spin and it goes WHEEL - OF - FORTUNE!, pure crack. Play the $25 max bet one and be this close to making $10k, you'll know what I mean.
If this makes me a derelict, you know what you can derelick.

In Vegas quite a bit for work conferences:
Always the earliest flight into McCarron and straight to Wynn SportsBook for at least 5 units. I’m only betting NFL Regular + Post & NBA Post. If it’s an NFL Sunday, I’m liable to never leave the book and drink on tickets for the day + ordered food.
Post conference and after dinners / happy hours, get a good group and hit a single deck black jack table and weather the swings on a 5 Unit stack @ 15 - $25 hands. Taking back Tito’s + Soda or Dewers + Soda depending on the mood. The at table massage if there are no female colleagues. The late night bummed cigarette when I feel my senses start to dull.
If I wake up in the middle of the night and can not sleep, smoke a bit of legal and hit a 1-3 NL table with a 5 Unit stack and fish for a few hours. Black tea, very little conversation and cashing out when I feel the sleep start to hit.
OTM Options......don't judge

I have tried a lot of ways to gamble. There is a lot of variety in gambling, much more than I expected. I started off gambling at these online casinos https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/casinosnotongamstop.uk. This is still my favorite way of gambling to this day btw. However, I have also tried sports betting which is great if you know a lot about and enjoy sports. I also tried my hand at internet gambling game shows. They are very fun and feel like a fresh and exciting spin on gambling. Crypto gambling is the one that interests me the most by far however I do not find it as fun as good old classic gambling games.
Sports betting is definitely my favorite since I am a huge jock and have been one for most of my life.
I consider crypto gambling to be the future of gambling altogether. Soon crypto will become mainstream and crypto gambling will too.
I love Crazy Time! It is a unique live online gambling game show. I believe it to be the most fun casino game ever made! You guys should check it out
Black Jack
I love buying NFTs. It's like the wild west out here. Inefficient markets. Super high liquidity.
Large poker tournaments. I played a $125K GTD yesterday on America’s Cardroom. Was doing well for 5 hours then lost all my chips on one hand basically. Happens.
I’m absolutely destroying it today in poker on America’s Cardroom:
$30K GTD: 15 of 289 (373 entrants)
$25K GTD: 56 of 607 (1659 entrants)
Would be nice to make a few grand tonight.
Gambling on elections is pretty fun, hypothetically speaking.

Will only play NL on cruise ships since I pay for the cruise that way by taking donkey money
