I have no sympathy for people who lose money on the pokies.

It doesn't take a genius to realise you won't win.

At least you've learnt your lesson now, Jack Daniels, albeit the hard way.

On a personal note.

Jack Daniels, DO NOT BET ON NBA GAMES!

It is so frustrating, when I do so much research on the teams, looking at their form and checking different odds on different bookie sites etc and the $1.10 favourites get beaten by $5 and $6 outsiders.

Luckily they weren't huge bets, but it is frustrating none the less.

I recommend steering clear of the NBA!
