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.

In an honest sense everything in life is a gamble. Just the risk is different. We are playing with chance in every aspect of life, just from the moment of being born from the womb to the tomb. Still we develop skills and try to game the system to our advantage.

The attitude to gamble comes from willingness to take the risk. This is something that anyone likes to do and thus gambling is an inherent nature of humans.

Whenever there is something at stake, and it is always there, it is a gamble. Now a sports game may have odds in favor of those who know the game and their expertise and not completely luck based.


I agree. Gambling is not just about money, it is always present when you are choosing or deciding. When you did the right choice, then you win, but when you didn't, you lose.

Gambling is about winning the big amounts. People play gambling with this hope of getting lot of money. They think gambling is a quick rich scheme but actually it is not. If you try to get money with your luck only with a lot of risks and with no big efforts, then you are gambling.

I just missed my childhood when I've read about CTR.
We freaking loved this game. I have the advantage over them because the console is in my room. I get to play most of the time. Lol. I don't know Street Hoop though, only Freestyle.
Street Hoop is an arcade game although because of emulators that's downloadable on the web, you can easily play it with a PC or laptop and go with controllers or not. It's also like Freestyle but the design of the game looks more childish and hype. You get to have super shot, dunk or 3-pt shooter if your gauge becomes full. And that is achievable whenever you shoot 3 times. Anyway, these games are a lifesaver in these times and we get to have a bonding time with our family.

Still I can remember my childhood. Cheesy 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.  Cheesy

I am trying to enjoy my time at home with my family. We watch television about the spreads of the virus and the total number of people infected. Playing a game on the computer will be the way to kill the boredom, and sometimes we use money as the fun thing, and that money is for the winner. That helps us to make the game more excited. The money will make us play better to win the games and get the money.

I remember when I was a teenager, sometimes I bet with my friends about something, and I think many people already did that. That is gambling because of the money involved with what we did.

The involvement of money towards gambling always made it a very interesting way about betting. Without the presence of it doesn't makes any sense at all, because people usually seeks a luck opportunity from gambling just to gain lucky profit as well. However, some folks wanted to say and change every mindset that it was only for fun but in reality it's really a money making mindset.

While on the current quarantine, the most accessible and easiest way to gamble for fun is card games, which we have been doing since the quarantine began. We didn't placed any money bet, but we came to an agreement that who ever losses would clean a specific area in our house lol.
I like your idea to not place any single of money but prefer to order something for those who get losses. During the quarantine, we will play the game with our family members, put money as the reward seems not really appropriate. The best option is to order anyone who gets lose to do certain tasks at home. I'm considering this kind of game to do at my home as well.  Cheesy

i think this sounds familiar to me   . dunno where but i think i see this on the t.v or some of my friends already done this before but not on me because we my family is always busy even on this lockdown  so i usually prefer to play on my own  . i play crypto gambling    .

 i dont consider everything to be gambling except from those things that i already know as a form of gambling  but life itself is already like a gambling right ? because we can experience ups and downs   . life is risky too  .

OP, that's actually nice, having fun out of boredom. Although money is involved, as long as the activity will not lead to negative things that can happen to a usual gambler, it's just fine to continue.

I never tried yet any of those fun games that involve gambling with the use of crypto or basically just money with the current situation we are into. The fact is, I busy too with my other chores that's why no time for other activities.

I will follow this thread for some ideas. Want to see some fun games that can turn into a gambling game to fight boredom.

Literally everything could be gambling.
I have remember betting with my friends while sitting beside the highway, guessing what brand or color of car that would pass us by next.

That practice is currently not recommended for playing against friends and neighbors. But within the household, that's good.

Different lifestyles have the common risks and surviving in the hard life conditions are the riskiest gambling I have ever seen. The gambler's mind focuses on risk/reward and everything happening in our lives such probabilities. The risk is interesting but not everyone has the same risk understanding capacity. The rewards can be bigger if the person can afford the risks which required for entrance in the life(game).

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.


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 Cheesy


Yes everything can be gambling but there's innocent, positive gambling, like when you race bikes with your friends to the store and whoever gets there first doesn't pay for his ice cream or something like that. There also can be serious gambling where you put your valuables on the line. Some people bet their cars in poker games. That's crazy if you ask me.

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

It's normal to think of another form of entertainment that involves a gambling-related activity out of boredom.

Actually almost the same to you, we started gambling here recently but not within our family but to my circle of friends against whoever they will contact for a match. The game is MLBB and all payments are done through popular payments here (online).

So far, we already did 2 games in the last 2 weeks since it's hard to found an opponent and others don't have funds at their online payment app but they have cash. But because of the quarantine imposed here, it's hard to make a deposit.

That's right, anything can be used for gambling because when family, friends or anything of them are gathered, then they can play anything with whatever is at stake and that is according to their own agreement. But for me personally, I never play games or gamble like this with my own family, and for problems like now about social distancing, quarantine, isolation, I would prefer to remain alone and will not play anything that is done together.

Stakes online gaming never really took off because it requires a lot of escrow work and a lot of online refereeing and that has always been difficult from the start, you can try it in anything and it is always very very difficult. I have seen people try stakes fifa gaming for example, all the entrants pay a fee when they start and it is an online playstation tourney so it looks as legit as it gets but for some reason there has been problems almost on half of them.

So, gambling could be anything but when you consider how awesome provably fair is, you can't have provably fair in many of them. Hell there was even match fixing in sports in almost every nation in history, I remember Turkey and Italy very clearly for recent decade, so even that is not provably fair, we just have to trust them.

Well, that is right. Anything could be called gambling if you can stake and there's an odd. Most people now are to stay at home and begun to enhance self-quarantine. These kinds of games that played together with your family is a good way to have bonding time.
I heard that there are some people who were happy that there is a pandemic right now, they can bond their family anytime that did not happen before just because busy with works. Indeed, right this moment we need an online game that perhaps becomes to gambling in if there is a stake or odd.

I do gamble now a days only online and I could not find any friends or family members to challenge myself on my routine life's activities. For the people, who are leading the life as a machine, online gambling is the only possible way of gambling and for us anything could not be a gambling because there is no partner available all the times to bet on.
That is really pathetic to hear about. I can understand your situation because I have seen people like you. Anything could be gambling is possible only for the people who are leading their life among friends and colleagues and the people who are into elderly ages or leading the life alone due to various reasons may not see anything as gambling.

There are lots of social media are available these days and you could find a like-minded person so that you can start gambling with them. This is just a suggestion from what I could think about you right away after hearing about your situation and there could be multiple other better solutions are available and you should work on that so that you have tension-free life at least hereafter.

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?
Everything we do in life in a way is a gamble with the difference we do not know the exact odds of winning or losing, in the current circumstances staying at home or being out of it is a gamble, those taking the decision to stay at their home as much as possible are reducing their chances to get the disease as much as they can so they are taking a safe bet, while those that choose to go out are thinking they are not getting the disease despite the higher probability that is the case making it a riskier bet.

Luckily we have Bingo here in our house. I can play with my relatives.
We also have solitaire and other card games in phone that we can consider as gambling.

Your are right, we have the same time out. The current stay at home from the government  had made me and my friends stay together to have some fun. Though I don't have so much friends with passion for gambling but to overcome boredom at home we always play solitaire because they have little knowledge about gambling  either in the traditional settings or online casinos settings. Personally, I gamble online with my favorite online casinos which are stake.com and windice.io and am having a good time with these gambling platforms as my favorite for their offers.

Gambling is not just about money, it is always present when you are choosing or deciding. When you did the right choice, then you win, but when you didn't, you lose.
When you talk about gambling is not about money then you should not talk about win or lose. When gambling is not about money then it will be all about the thrill we are going to experience before finding the final result. When the thrill is more important for you then you can gamble everywhere out of our daily activities. Gambling is good when it is done for pleasures and when you are finding those pleasures from your routine life then it will be perfectly okay for your health and wealth as well.

I do gamble now a days only online and I could not find any friends or family members to challenge myself on my routine life's activities. For the people, who are leading the life as a machine, online gambling is the only possible way of gambling and for us anything could not be a gambling because there is no partner available all the times to bet on.
