In the past I did such games too like guessing the serial number of a car that passing by. But over time, it is very hard to meet with my fellow gamblers and I don't play games like that anymore. Frankly, we did such games when we are bored only.
Ha! I just remembered what I do when I'm driving. The vehicle plate number of the car is in front of you and then I try to read the letters there. For example, the letters of the car's plate number in front of me have WDU, and I would try to use it as a word, a phrase or some silly way to pronounce it. It would be said like wa-doo. Or something close to that. Make it up like a game where you have friends and form a sentence. "WDU get me some coffee?" It's pretty weird, right? Lol

Wow, this is relly reminiscing the past when we are just a young boy being curious to what is haopenijg to our worlds. We do bet our money unto spiders but we don't use a stick, we a plastic box where we can watch the fight outside since it is a see-through. I used to cry whenever I lose my money and my spider there being killed. We also bet on this thing called "teks", like pogs but it is rectangle in shape.
I think you had the wrong placement of your finger when typing "happening". I prefer to stay ergonomic.
Anyways, I haven't tried any of those but just watch. It would be easier if it was in a plastic lunch box, freezer safe or something like that. Children are somewhat emotional, so probably that's why you cry. I remember having things like that and just flipping it, like a coin toss.
This is quite common, most of the time that starts with something like, I bet you cannot do X, and then the other persons ask how much you are willing to wager? I remember doing that way back in the past, the first time I did that was when a friend and I were playing Super Mario Bros 3 and we were competing in each level and see who could finish the level the fastest, my friend was exceptionally good at that game so most of the time I lost but as we were kids the bets were incredibly small.
As you may guess what was a fun game was made even more entertaining since finishing the level was nothing to be proud, you needed to be the fastest or else you will lose the bet.
I thought it was hard to understand what X means but you just made me remember all the times I had to find X in a math question. Lol.
I think if you challenge people, they take risks. I'm kind of like that too and making a wager to it makes it more challenging and makes me more determined to do it. I had those days too when I was playing with my neighbor, and it was in Megaman X4. And the levels of it was challenging. And I still remember the cheat in it where you would get the ultimate armor.
