I would in a diplomatic way. At least I'd be busy as 'mental health' is certainly the industry to be in at the moment. And yeah if a client was to tell me wasted loads on gambling machines an element of my counselling would involve 'and whose fault is that'?

Don't play them then it's really simple. Nobody makes you play them. How people who lose fortunes on them can then blame the bookies is totally beyond me, it's pathetic, take some responsibility for your actions.

If the money was right I'd do it yeah.

Couldn't agree more. Nobody makes you play those machines, take some responsibility as an adult for ya own actions. Same way if you drink too much or are obese, it's ya own fault not the pubs and fast food chains. I speak as someone who loves a drink a bet and a large doner and who lost my Dad...
