The last time i played a pokie was when i renewed my Easts Leagues membership which comes with my Roosters membership, this was about this time last year, put in $10 and took out $50 so was happy with that, before that i used to like just every now and then putting in $10 either at a local bowling club or pub and wouldn't care if i didn't get anything back just as long i played the machine for a while. I remember my father would constantly gamble 500 pounds over the phone on dogs and horses then in later years it would be the equivalent in dollars, he never got anything back and kept on doing it, it had an affect on me that i was never going to blow my hard earned dollars, so a $10 limit in a poker machine 2-5 times a year and a mystery trifecta on the Melbourne Cup is my limit.
