The craziest thing I've done and I hope I will not do it again was using my salary to bet on horse racing, my friend considered himself because he always boasted that he always hit the WTA Jackpot or Winner Take All, so upon his urging, I was enticed to gamble my salary.

Unfortunately, it was a bad day for my friend and he missed half of his prediction and so did I, I lost 80% of my salary, but he lent me money so I could still complete my take-home salary.
I learned that even if you are that good you really cannot not tell if you will hit your betting prediction.

Nope, I never did something stupid to harm my obligation, you were hurting your parents because they're working hard to get to school, but you were just waste it.

So far I've not yet do something crazy for betting, the amount I bet never exceed my money and the time I use for gambling haven't ruin my activities. All goes well, probably in the future I could do something crazy, who knows.

Wow so people did such kind of things when they were young? I guess my childhood was boring, I didn’t have time to engage in any of these activities when i was younger, there was no way i could leave school early and after school i had no time to hang out with friends because i would be immediately taken home with no one to play with, it was mostly me and my video game so i had no exposure to such things when i was young.

I think the highest and riskiest thing i have done was to gamble with part of my school fees while trying to raise some money for my girlfriend back then, it was not actually my idea, i was talked into it by a friend who was already into gambling and ever since i have been gambling once in a while.

I will never forget some of the crazy things i did when I was in secondary school at the age of 15years base on some of the bad friends I was following then and all of them are gamblers as small they was in the school but I try to asked them some questions then but the one that really introduced us to it learn it from his dad in the past.

I Started using my pocket money to gamble without my parents know that I have be into gambling because, I use to hide everything that will expose me to my parents that am a gambler because If they know that their first daughter is gambling it will be tough for me at home.

I know of stories of people who have done even crazier things than this which is states in your story, there are people who has literally gambled in very weird places and at awkward times just probably because of the love for the game or they are trying to satisfy their addiction, your case was a mare case of young minds trying out new things and wanting to at same time explore that which they never have before but the dangers in it is that it could possibly graduate into addiction and the gamblers may end up not been able to control their selves again and will want to gamble anywhere at any time.

It's actually fun trying out some crazy stuffs both with gambling and with other forms of fun but just making sure it's controlled and not causing harm to the gambler and others by extension is very important because if you are not careful enough it becomes a problem.

i think that it's not crazy, it's just juvenile delinquency and most of us here must have gone through that period. but regarding my experience when gambling, the craziest thing i ever did was that i gambled my school money and i lost and even had to sell my cellphone, to cover this up i told my parents that the cellphone was lost somewhere. that was a pretty crazy thing i ever did, because just imagine at that time not many school children had cellphones and i sold them just to gamble and lose. i was stupid enough to sell it for less than half the market price, and to this day i still regret it and wonder why i could be that stupid.

Hi community,

I remember when I was in middle school, we used to play cards almost every day, and our stupidity reached the point where we would skip classes while we were inside school. The method of playing was easy, as the largest number was the winning card. So, some of my friends and I would gather in the middle school bathroom and make bets with the money that we had collected  from selling cigarettes.
Of course, this is not something I am proud of and I do not recommend it to everyone, but it's just childhood memories .

-Have you ever bet at the wrong place and the wrong time?

          -   Well, I remember when I was a child, and at the time of my high school life, my classmates and I also used to gamble with the toss coin, then lucky nine if called using cards.
I joked about what we were doing when we didn't go in; we would just hang out in a park, which was also a little far from our school.

Then, when we don't have money to bet, we only do debt lists, but these are the silly things we do that we don't let affect our studies; that's what we did, and it rarely happened to us.

-Have you ever bet at the wrong place and the wrong time?
Gamblers must have done this at some point. I myself was a victim of such a situation. When I was young, one day I went to a local casino with friends. When my school classes were going on. I was also paid some money for another job but I lost my money by going to the casino instead of doing that job. When I was gambling I forgot everything about my past and got more excited after winning some money from there. At one point I lost all my money.
When I returned home I was terrified because I could not bring all the goods that I was asked to bring. That day I resorted to lies. I said that I lost the money in the way. As much as the gambling of that day gave me great pleasure, I was also afraid and which would remain a memory of my childhood gambling.

I learned how to play worth and other cards in school, none of my family members do this for fun, but skipping classes to do this isn't one of them, I was very serious with my studies until I found out that based on the condition of my country's economy it will be hard to use my degrees to make money.

I have engaged in other gambling activities after school and they are great times, but we risked very small money, especially money meant for our afternoon food, it was a crazy and great time.

I can still remember when my brother lost is money to bet, the game was local type and I sorted everything out, we shared my food together and another time we won those friends too and they went home on hungry stomachs.

I have always known that gambling is risky, and I don't like risking a lot of money on this games, its fair enough if you lose money that you can easily make back in a day, how cool is that?

Yes, we were both stupid at that time, the bk room was our usual place, and both teachers and our friends knew us not because of the intelligence we had or the achievements we achieved, but they could know us because of our naughtiness. which we often do. Skipping school hours, climbing the fence and leaving the school area are things we often do. And this is really stupid because we waste valuable study time just playing cards with friends. Or just spend the pocket money we have to make small bets. We continued to commit mischief after mischief, until we received a warning letter and endured the shame of having our parents called to school to take responsibility for the mischief we committed.

This is not something to be proud of, and if I look back on that incident, perhaps this is one of the deepest regrets I have ever felt.
This is probably the innocence of your youth. My youth had no such bets. But for me, I'm only now getting involved in gambling. That's really stupid.
I have a family, I want to get rich, and I want to make money quickly from gambling. I took all my husband and I's savings and gambled. I don't know what motivated me to do so because I am very careful and have always been the breadwinner of the family. I don't know if I'm addicted or if the temptation to get rich has blinded me. I paid too much for this crazy and stupid thing.

I've seen a lot of people do crazy stuff like using their mobile phone to bet, pulling of their clothes to stake on a game and they lost out, going home with bare body and few others I can't remember.
This actually reminds me of a fellow I saw in a Gambling hall one day,  this gambler was so engrossed in the gambling that I even left what I was doing, sat down and was watching him closely, he gambled to an extent that he lost all his money, and instead of leaving, he decided to go into the dangerous route of loss chasing, he left his mobile phone with tgr cashier and continued playing. Luck was clearly not on his side that day so he also lost his phone to the casino and even incurred a few more debt he couldn't afford to pay, so they seized his clothes and shoes and he would've went home on his underwears if I hadn't stepped in to pay the cashier some of the money for his clothes to be released.

Cigars and betting in school that's crazy as *uk. Cheesy

Not that crazy because it is normal for kids to sell cigars if they want to earn some money in my place.  Other kids even ask people to bet on their basketball-ending games just to get some percentage from the total bet.   But indeed it is kinda crazy to think @OP playing cards inside the bathroom with his friends, LOL.

I never had an experience of gambling in a strange place just to hide our activity.  I gambled when I was a kid but it is on my friend's house or on the side walk of the street since our street is not a main road where vehicles are frequent.  Aside from that, I enjoy betting on a shooting game where the participants have to shoot the ball from either the free throw lines or the rainbow line.

-Have you ever bet at the wrong place and the wrong time?
No, I have never got involved on the kind of situation you shared in your post. Always I gambled I did on a specific time of the day for that practice, without prejudicing another activities and duties of my daily life, such as attending to lessons at school or gambling during worktime. During my childhood I didn't like to go to school, but at same time I wasn't introduced to gambling yet, at least not through the same concept of gambling I have today, neither I had colleagues to gamble with, because this activity was strange to them. So, when I was too annoyed and bothered to go to school, I just resorted to videogames. That was my safe heaven.

And thankfully I didn't develop interest for gambling back then, even though I knew its existence, as I watched movies, saw family members gambling and we even played few gambling games together, although rarely. If I did develop that interest, I guess I wouldn't be prepared to deal with it yet in a smart and responsible way, so I think I would have lost all the little money I had back then, which I used to purchase videogames and snacks. No regrets about that, though. These are some of the best memories I have in my life.

-Have you ever bet at the wrong place and the wrong time?

There was a lot of goofing around... coin tossing, marbles, playing cards, and some weird games that I don't even know how to translate into English. And I guess most of them were in the wrong place, behind the school, empty places, when we are kids who care about the place and time, it is all about having fun with friends. We were young and crazy, as it usually goes with all of us... and with age we all get serious, "kids" games start to be boring and we want something else.


You grew up the street way, not everyone had life hard way...

I wouldn't say that the street way was a hard life, when I was a kid the entire fun was on the street. We didn't have computers, there were Commodore 64, Atar, and Nintendo but even those were rare... most of the time we were out playing with other kids. Even arcade games were played with friends in some "suspicious places" sort of speaking.

That's quite normal for some kids, we like to experiment when we are young. Personally, I learn gambling through the influence of people around me, and that lead me to gambling online when I learn that there's a lot of casinos in crypto where it's easy to deposit, that was year ago when KYC wasn't a big thing yet. It's called curiousity on my part until I fell in love with the games I'm playing, so I'm more an online gambler guy now but my past experience in gambling has been significant for me to be interested in gambling.

At school, I gambled with my friends, but even if I win, I am still not profitable as I just use the money to go out with my friends and drink some bear until we get drunk, those days, stupid decision but it was fun ,now I'm more serious in life.

We have a reckless attitude when we are young we are driven to adventure out of curiosity, and your experience is one of these, I have a share of that too, when I was young we used to skip classes to go to fiestas to bet even if that fiesta is from another town.

We challenged one another on who among us was the luckiest for that day and the luckiest was going to treat the losers to a drink, because of this we got failing grades and our parents found out about our gambling activity, so we got punished by not having an allowance for 2 weeks, its a lesson learned for the young not to be adventurous to the point that you will neglect your study.

I sold crisps and sweets in school but cigarettes at that age is a step up in cool kid doing bad things factor, cant remember anyone in our group doing this but theres always teenagers who smoke so its a market of the worst kind Shocked   We also played cards and bet for money but I only did that in later school not skipping classes at early age;  I would often miss entire days and just stay home however coming in at lunch hour pretending you were always there for a couple hours sometimes covered the absence.
   I would get the head of our year, students not teacher to forge a cover note for me also sometimes;  he also sold on details of the school security systems for exam results on the computers it was a big scandal when that hack was found out  Grin

We definitely played card games of a basic kind at even first few school years.  No money, far more valuable was the card itself which often not but sometimes you might lose the card in a bet.   High stakes gambling when you are very young, nobody wants to lose their very favorite set of cards.

I remember playing card games while I was little, but I never played gamble with it. As a matter of fact, I only started gambling mainly on football predictions. Any other gamble outside of football never really took my attention or I was never involved in it, but however as a child I know I played some card games.
But in answering your question about doing something crazy to bet, specifically I've seen a lot of people do crazy stuff like using their mobile phone to bet, pulling of their clothes to stake on a game and they lost out, going home with bare body and few others I can't remember.

You grew up the street way, not everyone had life hard way but I can relate during my game days in school. In junior school back then, you will be allowed to have game days on every Wednesday and play all the type games you like range from Badminton, Handall, Football, Volleyball, High jump and long jump but cards are strictly prohibited, my school dislike card games because they see you as a wayward person but you know where there is law, some people must still break it.

This faithful day, when others where busy doing there things, some group of us prefer the card game and went to hide in our of the classes. We bets breakfast money and we were playing our stuff until the Labour master came around for check maybe there could be some students hiding and didn't went for any game and that's how we were caught. I after the game time, we were summon to assembly ground and our assets were whoop and was reported to our respective parents, that was my last I did something like that.

I have not done anything like that nor I have done other crazy things like selling some valuables to gamble like my friends have done when I was in high school.In fact I have not gambled at all when I was in high school and university,it was only when I made family and started working.The people at this first job were massive gambler's  Grin and they were talking very often about it.So I started gambling with them and that is how I started and what I still do.
