The thread was about spread betting, but I reckon that the same advice applies to any type of gambling.
And post number two in that thread:

I guy I used to work with is about to lose his house from it.
Perhaps I'll stick with the digging up treasure idea.

I need a career change. I want to dig up buried treasure for a living. I'm going to buy a spade.

Has anybody actually got any tips on share dealing? Always wondered how easy it is, how much money you need to put into it, etc?
