Gambling in QC
Carl-E:
My baby brother has hosted a floating poker game on the cape (Cape Cod, MA) for over 10 years. There are usually 2 - 3 tables of 8 players each. Many of the players are younger than him (he just turned 40). So it started before he was 30, and most of the other players were about his age - some of the older ones have dropped out and several younger ones have joined in.
This sort of thing happens everywhere, though.

I don't think I know anyone in real life that gambles, either, so it doesn't strike me as odd.
hedgie:
Yeah, the closest I get to real gambling is playing dice in the pub, until they stopped that since people started betting too much and management decided to crack down. 'Tis a pity since it was an easy way to fund my drinking, since most people don't have a grasp of basic statistics.
Pilchard123:
Some friends and I used to play poker at in the common room (I guess that's what you'd call it) at college. We rarely (if ever - I didn't do it myself but it might have happened when I wasn't around) played for money, preferring to use cards from an obviously separate deck.

Closest I've ever really been to gambling is NCAA tournament pools or Super Bowl bets. I know poker night is a thing for some people, but I've never actually known people IRL who DO it.
