This is another way that the internet has made it easier for people to make money - gambling. Let me tell you what happened to us about 2 years ago. Our family loves horses and up until 5-6 years ago I couldn't tell a winning horse from an also ran if my life depended on it. I soon got an eye for the build and attitude of a winning horse before a race. Since the only time I went to the horse races was at the county fair I still had trouble picking out a wining horse on TV. I couldn't see the attitude aspect of the horse. Then my husband had this great idea to place a bet on the Kentucky Derby and had a horse in mind, Smarty Jones. You remember that horse, the one that was helping raise money for the lemon aid stand. He wanted to place a bet for $500.00 to win. We bet on the horse but never large amounts so I talked him down to $50.00 to show. Then it came time to look for somewhere online to place the bet. I found this one place at the last minute that wanted your whole life story and a song and dance to boot as well. I had to fax a copy of my husband's driver's licence and everything. I wish we had found a better place to deal with like a online casino or something like that.
Well you know the outcome of the race, Smarty Jones won and so did we. Husband wanted to let it ride for the next race of the Triple Crown with Smarty Jones again, to show. We won more money. We did the same thing with the last leg of the Triple Crown and won more money again. We ended up with over $500.00 for our $50.00 investment. My husband likes to rub in the fact that if I had not talked him out of placing the $500.00 bet the first time we would have had over $25,000.00 by the time the last race was done. Getting our winnings from that online betting site was like pulling teeth. If they paid us by check they charged an extra $50.00 fee! If it was transferred to an online bank there would be no charge but it would take about 10 days to get the money. I opted for the online bank and had to open an account with them just to get our money!!! Never again would we go thru some off shore unknown betting site.

I made good money last summer gambling online (horses from UK and Irish races), but I lost it all to greediness.
I used PaddyPower and my credit card and when I withdrew money, my account was credited instantly (if only I hadn't put any more money on my gambling account!).
Gambling is a great way to make money if you know what you are doing and you it responsibly: the more you win, the more confident you get. The more confident you are, the bigger the amount of money you gamble. It is usually at that point that you lose!
