We did similar things a alot as kids. The funny thing is that we still refuse to fulfill our agreement when we lose the bets. We give numerous excuses why the winners don't deserve to get the prize.
Lol. Same here. We still play these games even though we are all adults now since we love these games(Especially spinning the bottle). Gambling with family and friends provides a lot more fun when compared to gambling in casinos in my opinion.

It happens only if the bet amount reaches out of our limits so we have to keep them under control for healthy and fun filled experiences which applies to gambling with strangers as well so we can avoid going bank rupt or losing money which is needed for something more important.
True. Games like Bingo are easy to play and involve way less fights in my experience. Limit is indeed the key here.

Gambling between family can be considered as safe gambling or real gamble because we are not going to spend too much money but we are going to get more fun compared to real life casinos.
Gambling with family members is not always safe in my opinion since it could lead to unnecessary fights and I am speaking from experience. I witnessed fights between family members due to the money aspect.

What does the "take a shot" mean?

Well, it's probably not gambling if the risk involved is little. Wish I know what the "take a shot" means to understand this whole post properly and give a reasonable response.
"Take a shot" implies that the loser has to drink vodka, whiskey etc. It is a drinking game basically. I prefer gambling with clothes in comparison(Boys and girls involved). This basically kicks things up a notch.

Oh, interesting. Probably not a good way to bet especially if kids are involved.

For me there is no other better way but to gamble online.

I am not known as a gambler in our place and I don't gamble with people around me, and with this situation we are at now, it has not change my life, I am still a gambler like I used to, with online games is still available to play, it does not give made me a choice to try other ways to gamble, I just enjoy what I can access for now. Well, I am not hoping, they'll also close soon because it's not good for us gamblers and I maybe force to try a new one.

Generally life is a gamble but what is very important is we know how to manage the risk, do gamble on something fun, not on something risky.

To be honest you can gamble with anything happening around you or in your life. I have intentionally never done that and never considered doing it. I know that without my knowing I might have gambled with my career. But, that was me gambling with myself.

I have have had friends who have casually done betting while playing games on PlayStation for a couple of beers.

Doesn't gambling always have something at stake? Whether it be something physical or imaginary, it'd still be something at stake. Just that, skill-based gambling can't really be called a gamble. A gamble, in its fullest sense, is something in which the winner heavily relies on luck itself to win. There are no precedents about it, nor is there any chance of you actually winning because of your skill. Even if we say that you had some insider news, that in itself, would still be called luck.

Matters of winning and losing isn't really gambling imo, but they do offer risks. Like everything out there is. Just that, there are different factors that could affect if you would receive or avoid the said "risk", hence the luck factor in gambling and skill factor in playing.

In my opinion, it is not gambling if the family members benefit more from the game with little to no harm/risk to them.
But spending too much time on the game with little benefits to the family members is gambling

Not doing that at home, first because I have more girls in my home and they are more interested in social media than playing online games or any kind of game. I have no choice but to just log in to my account online and just play on, not spending much money and time, but I am already having fun.

I'm doing such stuff because I don't want to get bored while at quarantine, actually I like to explore more games.

Anything that has a stake and the possibility of outcome is 50/50 I will consider that like gambling you cannot say that you have never participated in gambling when many of the things we are doing can be considered gambling, we may not know it but if you analyze it it can be considered as gambling, like, you will launch a party if you are promoted but your friend countered that challenge.

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?

Playing video games is not gambling. Gambling is something when you put your money in it to win or lose a bet or a game. If you are playing video games like many children and adults play in their PC or TV, this will not be called gambling.

In our house, we just play online games with my friends here in our village. I cannot meet with them now but at least we have some means of communication and bonding through online games. This is the first time we experience this kind of thing cause since we were young we always hang out. now we are lockdown to each of our houses and never know when will this gonna end.

We also have solitaire and other card games in phone that we can consider as gambling.

I just missed my childhood when I've read about CTR. I think I'll copy what you're doing with your family. But I'll download first the classic Street Hoop arcade game and have a bet against with my brother. We used to play this game when we're younger.  Grin
A good betting and the loser will pay with any food delivery that the winner likes.

Luckily we have some bingo set here in our house we would play it whenever we got bored and we also have cards,
But most of the time we are just watching movies and surfing through our phones.

Yes everything that is done with a stake of lossing or winning is considered a gamble for me.

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.

Me? Oh soo boring. I just Eat - Watch Movie - Sleep - Repeat. How unfortunate for me that no one knows how to play even a blackjack here Roll Eyes. Playing Mobile Legends with my friend (You read it right! I'm stocked here in their house due to lockdown) and betting could work but I forgot that I'm very bad at MOBA. I might just end with empty pockets if I still pursue Cheesy. Thus, I'll be silent for now and hope crisis days will be over ASAP.

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.
