Well, I dont make pissed off to the kid because obviously if that will happen that is our fault by leaving the important things on us reachable by the kid and we know that kid is being a kid. Besides, just move on and let that incident happen as you mistakes and dont let it will happen again. That scenario probably regrettable to our side but we have nothing to do is just to move on.

Well this is the point, the child's mistake is in "using something without permission" so this should be advised, but for bets made it can depend on the circumstances or the policies of each parent. Usually most parents will not allow their children to bet, so maybe they will also advise their children not to bet again.


It is not good to scold a child, let alone a simple mistake, but to advise a child's mistake is much better.

Getting mad on just a simple thing isnt really that proper specially to a kid.I agree on that its actually our fault because you do let those things been reached by a kid which
isnt supposed to be.Whats done is done no matter on what would be the result of that random bet then just move on and it isnt right to get mad.

^ Definitely right and correct answer. If this scenario will happen to me, I will not get mad to the kid because they are a kid. If you get mad, why not at your self because we have our responsibility to keep our valuable things safe and including our gadgets, laptop, cellphone and etc. that should not reach by them. If that incident happens, just hope that you will win the accidentally bet on the kid. And be sure that next time it will never happen again and don't make at mad.

First, the kid is not at fault here. It is my negligence that leads to this situation. The kid is just being a kid. All kids are curious and will try to play anything that he sees, your computer, cellphone, and your bankroll if you leave them lying around. If I need to be angry with somebody, I should be angry at myself.

Second, the damage has already been done. There is no way I can reverse the situation. So, I will just let it play out and let the luck of my child give me my fortune.

maybe if it happened to me, I would let it go and not scold my child. I will allow it for the first time. and at other times it may not happen again because the child must not be taught such things so as not to be addicted. and maybe if he can earn his own money then it's okay to play gambling.

Let me be honest here, most people will be very "proud" and happy if their kid some how being extremely lucky manages to win the bets placed. They would even start thinking that their kid is a lucky charm and might even allow the kid to make some clicks in the future. But, if the kid loses the bets, they will be very disappointed and might even yell at the kid.
I wouldn't yell at my kid but will make my kid understand that he should not touch my things without my permission. I don't want my kids to be scared of me.

For real? you've included to trust your kind on something that is complicated to even us adults? what kind of parent is going to make that choice, come on. I wouldn't be angry, it is my responsibility as a parent to teach my kid not to touch other's things without their permission, also, why would I, as a parent leave something sensitive to be unattended, right? It is all about good parenting and not to rely on your kid the luck you have in gambling, that's a very shameful thing a parent could do.

Why get angry it's just a kid and kids are like that, they are so curious on so many things, I will just let it, but explain to him that he should not do that again, I know that gambling is addictive and he is not yet ready for this kind of thing, I will just tell him to stay away for now, because he is still a kid.

99% of most parents would be upset no doubt about it! from seeing their kid taking a bet a parent would go bonkers about it and what more the kid doesn't even have any idea on how they can make a bet especially if they would bet an all in and not taking a limit in lessening the amount to gamble that will be a total parent anger mode,

Just like what happens when I am browsing the forum and I would make a post and have established all possible reply for a topic and would just gonna hit the post button I suddenly remember I would just gonna get something on the kitchen and would come back to make a push on the post button, When returned my kid just make a quick erase of all things that I have put as a reply to the topic and clicking the home button, I can not undo the process that he did, that felt me with outraged and feel upset so I scolded him of what he did,

I think this is a typical reaction to what may parents feel.

So you mean about that beginners luck? Its true that it wont matter if a game is being played by a child or an adult but there were no proofs that kids are more prone to luckier events.The thing youve mentioned which i do agree on is that it wont really that matter because you do know that your account does only have the amounts which is less or you can afford to lose.Its not really that right to scold your child because of your gambling habit and just understand that they are just kids and touching off things are part of that so its just understandable.If it do hit some jackpot of its random bet then for sure you would really have that big smile on your face.

I'd rather not. Its very dangerous to let a kid stay alone with cash situations after all, even if I am gambling for enjoyment. Though if it was done, well what's done is done. No use in getting angry over it. They are kids after all. BUT, if my entire deposit was actually destroyed because of what was done, well, its time to get angry all right. Though it was partly my fault for leaving it, well, the blame is shared on both of us. But since I'm an adult, I know what happened, but the kid didn't so I got to tell him/her what happened and what are the consequences.

Interesting theory. There are a couple of things that came into the mind because it will differ in scenarios. Imagine Dr. Strange playing those 14 million+ scenarios and winning only once. (Just the theoretical, multiverse person in me)

Anyways, the things I would consider are:

• The age of the kid
• Gender
• Computer Proficient
• Gamer

These are some of the things I would consider. So if I have a boy who is computer proficient and knows his way around the computer and understands the game quickly then he started playing unexpectedly on the site. My reaction would vary depending on the outcome. If it's a win, it's a win, and I would be happy. If not, I would scold him and tell him that it's not right to mess with somebody else business. (Time to learn a lesson)

If it's a girl, I doubt I would be angry. I will have a soft spot for her, knowing that I need to take care of her regularly. Maybe it would differ on other aspect, but the one thing that I'm sure of is when I gamble, I only deposit the amount I'm willing to lose, not my savings account. This should be a standard rule.

I guess if my kid would still say that "Please let me play," I would trust him then. Being confident about the amount shouldn't be a worry to me anymore. I know that I would take care of them and let them understand things so they could learn the consequences of gambling. In the end, I wouldn't be angry directly, and I hope that they would understand gambling as it is.

The OP didn't mention what is the size of themoney involve for bet. Yet If I'm in that situation, I will not yell my kid since that is my fault for leaving it before doing the other things that come up while I'm betting. I will never blame a child for losing my money for that reason. That's my what IF.

Actually I will not be angry or upset just because a children accidentally place bet on the said scenario. I think if it happens to me then I would probably just laugh and trust the beginners luck of the kid. Maybe the bet that the kid does makes you win, who knows? If you lose because the kid does then probably it is just a matter of luck and bad timing, right? I will just watch it and probably have a bonding to my kid so that it will be less stressful than thinking if the bet will lose or win. Just remember that in betting games, sometimes luck may occur and bad times may occurred it is a matter of good and bad times.

depends on the person i think  . me im a kind of person that has a limited tempter  and that simply means that i can get irritated or get angry on smaller mistakes that i made so how much more if its a serious mistake like the one that describe on your topic  ? i think im gonna pinch the kid but not that really hard  . this actually happen to me one time but i was using a laptop that time were my cousin ( 8 yr old ) plays with my lappy , good thing that it didnt click the max bet button  .

Not gonna lie, is there any difference? I actually think it's the same either way. It's gambling, it's based on luck. Heck, kids are much more prone to getting into luckier events, so why not? I don't particularly deposit large amounts so I'd suppose it's not that dangerous for me to let a child play it. If by some off chance I manage to get the jackpot, ain't that worth it? And even if I didn't, well, nothing new there right?

I will not trust on child play. Also you have mentioned "Bets" and not the gambling games like "Dice" etc. I can trust the kids on dice games which are purely luck based, but i will surely not want the child to make a bet on any match.

By the way, its only take a CTRL + L to lock the computer before taking a phone call. 

Will depend on how much the bet will be, and depends on the result. Since I will not be able to stop or reverse the bet then let it be. One way or another it's a kid we will get angry then later we will be fine and approach them. It's like what I experience this week I left my phone in a bit then I got a phone call and video calls created by me. Funny but that's it will just tell to those that dialed that its because of the kid. So what ever the result in gambling be, it's because of the kid. Hope it's a good and rewarding bet though.

Either way if I bet on something still the chances are half percent. Though the kid is accidentally did and not by self purpose. First thing first is that I am responsible for what did happened; living my device hanging, and vulnerable to possible other unauthorized access. Hence, I won't be blaming the kid from what did happened and let the situation pass around. Who knows that it might be my lucky bet.
