Anything could be gambling

[KrisAlex18]

Well, gambling is always on our daily life, in just simple saying to your friend on who are going to be the first one to eat the banana, the first one who will have a boyfriend/girlfriend and who will be the one who get the highest score on exam, those are can be considered as simple gambling, well that is not bat at all because you are just doing it for some fun or else depends on your wants or needs.

Gambling could be only bad to you if it involves money and if you really get addicted on it, like casino gambling or online gambling, those can destroy your life if you get addicted on that because you may forget some valuable things that you usually do when there is no gambling on your life. It will also can ruin your relationship to your family and friends.

Let me ask you, what is your experience towards the gambling attitude, especially now almost everyone is in quarantine, what did you do about it?

Play cards (pusoy and tongits) with your family and relatives. It is our family tradition somehow because we do have fun everytime and we do having a good conversation while playing. In other words, it's a fun game.

Have you done something similar to this and do you think it's gambling as well when there's something at stake?

I think everyone of us done something that's similar to that.
Example: The one I've said above. We can play cards without bet, but with a consequence. And spin the bottle - if you hadn't play this game on your childhood, how unfortunate.

i don't need to understand the whole topic to favor the title.

though this is different from your story OP but i do believe that everything in life is gambling,even our Work is gamble because even how good you are and competent in your position but things sometimes happen that we are being kicked to be replaced by others and that is gamble.

gamble to choose Wife,because it can happen that what you chose is not the one that will be yours forever so another gambling.

and yeah,we can do anything to gamble either with stake of money or services.

We all know that we have risks to take every day and if you are a gambling fanatic, you would think that everything can be an opportunity to profit from, like simple parlor games, video games, card games, etc.

Let me ask you, what is your experience towards the gambling attitude, especially now almost everyone is in quarantine, what did you do about it?

Personally, my family plays video games, specifically on the Playstation, where we play Crash Team Racing and we race and the last place would take a shot, this could be a different thing at stake, so it could still be considered as Gambling, IMO. This could be two things

• Gambling skilled based
• The stake is that you can stay longer as you won't take a shot

Have you done something similar to this and do you think it's gambling as well when there's something at stake?

Hell yeah , I have . I love it to gamble with my family but always and always it doesn't involve money. The stakes are always different , like with my father I gamble about politics who will win and who won't and whoever loses decides to watch their programs for the next day.
With my mother , I gamble about movies as in who will die first if it is a horror movie and stuff and the stake ? I will have to help her out in kitchen duty or similar.

With my brother , about sports or poker , losers get punishment just like truth or dare but only dare.

I am not doing like what you did, but I consider that could be gambling, but as long as you don't use the money inside the game, I think you don't gamble with your family. You should play the games with your family without using money because, with money involved, that can attract you to try to win the games, and that will not be good for you and your family.

In these situations, it is better to protect our family correctly, so they don't get infected, and they can feel comfortable while they stay at home. It is an emergency that can happen to all people. It is better to stop gambling for a while and enjoy our time with our family.

[lienfaye]

Its just funny that if we are at work we often wish to be at home and sleep, but now we are in strictly home quarantine im missing my work and though im not doing anything at home I feel tired and its weird.

Well since we have more time to stay and be with our family due to lockdown, we can think of something to not get bored. On our case we are playing card games particularly tongits (its a classic pinoy game) but because its a friendly game there's no money involved.

[btc78]

This Virus gave us all something to start on,gives us more time to bond with family and friends thats why so many ideas has been shared here.
but that is correct that Gambling can be considered in everything we do and our daily life.

Riding a Train to office is gambling if we will be late or not because we don't know the volume of people riding everyday.

Still I can remember my childhood. when I was in class 6, I bet with my friend. The bet was about a game, we played a badminton match and the bet was Whoever wins he has to pay a Cocacola by his own money though I had to buy a Coca-Cola cause I lost but It brought me great joy. 

that is a cool gambling to test your skills and ability but bad that you lose and need to buy a cola .

We used to play gambling games such as poker, pusoy (this game has unique name but it is the name called in my country) and many more games which is base on skills. We are not betting any money because for us it is not good we just playing but we have consequences for those people who will lose in every game.

gambling with money involved isnt that bad as long as you are gambling based on your capability  .

its not also bad if your gambling with your love ones because when you loose you it was like giving the money on your loved ones but in a indirect way and not on other people/strangers  but its also possible to gamble without money involved versus other people  because there are now many gambling apps online that are free to play   . anything can be gambling but we still need to follow some rules and advices so that we can be fine in the long run   .

[crwth]

BTW, those who want to gamble, why don't you set up a Skype conference call and gamble with your friends that way? Could be fun.

I think the money aspect would be the factor there. Maybe having an interactive board and an agreement with certain amounts to be used or something. Probably that could be effective, lol.

That's a bad game because I love to drink so at some point I'd try to lose to finally be able to take a shot

I think you used the wrong adjective about the game. It's an awesome game! I didn't drink because I wasn't losing though, and I got to my bed almost sober.

Example: The one I've said above. We can play cards without bet, but with a consequence. And spin the bottle - if you hadn't play this game on your childhood, how unfortunate.

It's really sad if someone isn't able to experience that but we all have our different upbringings, and I'm blessed to have experienced it too.

With my mother , I gamble about movies as in who will die first if it is a horror movie and stuff and the stake ? I will have to help her out in kitchen duty or similar.

This is a hard one especially when you don't know the plot, back in the day but in this day and age, it's quite easy to win this, just Google it and you would get an answer. Lol.

Its just funny that if we are at work we often wish to be at home and sleep, but now we are in strictly home quarantine im missing my work and though im not doing anything at home I feel tired and its weird.

It's a dilemma, right? I know that sometimes we just like to chill and just stay at home to rest but now that we are resting (depending on your daily activities), we miss work. I think if you liked your work, you would miss it. I know someone who wants to get back to work right away. He wants to go back probably next week. Good luck to him. I hope his company would take care of him though.

Just to do a fun part of the COVID-19, and say that everything is gambling.
Gambling is also breaking the self isolation and go out without any real reason. In this case you don't gamble any fiat money or any cryptocurrency bbut you gamble your own life...

[plvbob0070]

For me, gambling is when you take the risk of anything valuable in exchange for getting something valuable as well. But since in your case, there's no valuable thing and you won't be getting anything. The loser will just take the shot but the winner won't be getting anything. I think it's just a game with a dare of taking a shot but can't be considered gambling. It will be called gambling if players made a bet and the winner will receive a prize.

That's right, Gambling will never be gambling if no valuable thing are on the stake or are to play with. The risk is on the valuable thing and it makes the game exciting right? We can't call a gambling site if there is no valuable thing to be gambled on. Everyone is fighting for the prize and that is one of the reasons why gamblers are getting addicted to it. The adrenaline rush while playing is another factor that players are finding on gambling games.

Every gambler is eager to win because they had bet something valuable and they don't want to lose it but they want to get the more valuable asset. We gamble because we want to win a certain prize not because we don't want to take the punishment. Cause obviously, it's just a punishment with no prize to win.

That's the difference between a simple dare game and gambling. The risk is higher with gambling because there is a possibility of losing something valuable. But with just taking a shot, there's nothing to lose at all.

Good for you man! Here in our house we are only 4, so no games and just literally just doing netflix all day. I also miss my daily routine, it's okay to have a little break, but this quarantine makes me feel tired all day. Just stay home man, and be safe.  hope this virus will go away soon.


Back to the topic. Yes, anything could be a gambling, right now we are facing a pandemic and every-time we go outside to buy goods that we need are we are risking our health on getting the corona virus. This is tough gamble to all of us right now, I hope that my fellow bitcoin enthusiast will be safe in this pandemic. Stay at home! don't gamble your life.

[White Christmas]

Anything could be gambling in so many way or aspects, just for example those decisions that we are making in our life, we are gambling through the use of life in which we are picking up the thing that we see or we think that will really the good one even though the both of them are good but you are making a decision just like in gambling you are making a good decisions in order for you to win and earn.

[alexsandria]

Yes, anything could be converted as a gambling because betting on anything is possible (at least in teasing manner).

We do bet on "who will finish off the pizza first" or like "who will climb the staircase first", even these are done for no money, the winner may ask for a treat later on. I do really enjoy on this as winning is possible and feasible for me regardless of how new a task will be.

Gamble for fun and if chances are on your favor then make some benefits which fits more exactly here. Moreover, it cannot be illegal as per any culture nor jurisdiction too. Just make fun with your family or friend or colleagues or neighbors by making anything as a gambling.

There's no doubt that gambling was really a fun way of experience but it will be just fun if the luck is on your hands in which you are continuously winning on different aspects so that you will earn and you will experience the winning, but the thing is how about when you are not winning but instead you are just keep on losing? How about that? Although you are losing sometimes just always remember that don't lose on the gambling of life because that is the most essential way on how to live in this world.

Basically, there are few phrases that references decision making as risks or gambles, so i could suppose that gambling is anything.

One important factor to take notice of is the need not to become an addict, and maintain proper responsibility while gambling.

[goinmerry]

i don't need to understand the whole topic to favor the title.

though this is different from your story OP but i do believe that everything in life is gambling,even our Work is gamble because even how good you are and competent in your position but things sometimes happen that we are being kicked to be replaced by others and that is gamble.

gamble to choose Wife,because it can happen that what you chose is not the one that will be yours forever so another gambling.

and yeah,we can do anything to gamble either with stake of money or services.

That's not clearly the picture that OP is pointing to.

It's not appropriate to consider gambling in real life as the same in gambling with money. So literal.

It has lots of difference and just because the word gambling is used, it's now become the same.

[SquallLeonhart]

It is all about how your perception on things. I guess it will be appropriate to consider the real life gambling with what we are doing in casino with money. I'm not seeing big differences. Instead of dicing online, I guess we can toss coin against a friend and even with martingale strategy. I believe it will bring same kind of excitement and profits like how online dicing will be. Still, it is all about how you are able to adopt things; your level of perception will play here a big role.

I agree the term 'gambling' being misused everywhere and I believe there should be some differentiation must be needed so that we can distinguish things respect to each other. I read some people are suggesting about real-life gambling as betting and money involved-luck based-professionally done things as gambling. They might be right .

Try to read the examples of the post that I quoted:

-because even how good you are and competent in your position but things sometimes happen that we are being kicked to be replaced by others and that is gamble.
-gamble to choose Wife,because it can happen that what you chose is not the one that will be yours forever so another gambling.

It's clearly not appropriate to consider these the same as gambling with money. How come it become the same?

Gambling in real life, facing challenges in society is DIFFERENT from doing gambling with the involved money. The factors are different. We should separate those things.

They are different on general sense but actually it can be considered connected and its indeed true that everything in life is a gamble yet we do make our own choices into things.
One wrong decision will surely lead up to problems or situations that cant really be reverted or to go back once it messes up your life.Its comparable though and i dont
see it to be inappropriate for it to be compared.Anything that doesnt involve or does involve money will really be just like gamble the difference is that on what are the things
you do put at stake.
