Topic: [What IF] Part 7 (Read 563 times)

No, I won't get angry, in the first place, it's the parent's obligation to make sure that, your child behave properly and not to meddle, I will just advise the child to not do it again and, and ask him to always ask before he meddles on anyone's business.
I don't want him at a young age to know gambling, because we know children are easily attracted, to games.

We should blame the parents, devices today have access to all games even gambling game. You can find it in social media, youtube, play store and etc. In accordance with the situation, the parents should limit the child to playing such games in devices, 'cause kids nowadays are very desperate to have devices to play with. I can't blame parents if they will scold the children, it's normal and nothing wrong is happening.   

It's a matter of discipline and the parents are the ones to be responsible for it.

I take this as my answer too. Whatever behavior the child has, parents were the ones molding it. And if it is was a special child or something, then we still took full responsibility on that betting lost as the child didn't knew the effects of its deeds.

Regardless of a win or loss by the child betting, i will call it a carelessness by the parents who left the gambling game unattended. The children are not to blame and they should not be beaten for this.
If the parents loss by this act, they will remember this and it will be a good lesson learnt for them.

It's a godd discipline, child should be disciplined as early as possible. For me it will depend on my child's age if too young then it can still consider fine but if I know he already knows to understand rules and follow guidelines then I'll be upset if ever it happens.

I would not change it and would not be upset.I am not a person with superstitions but I think our little kid are angels and maybe they will have a much better luck than we adults have.Even if typed all the amount I had in my account I would not be upset at all.

I wouldn't let my station unsupervised  just because I'm a paranoic kind of guy. But in the hypothetic situation that I would have done that, I would have gotten angry at him "touching" my computer which he isn't supposed to do. That's one of the house rules - don't touch dad's workstation.

Don't worry, even if you are late it is still better than never. We'll wait again for the next part of your "what if" to answer our curiosity in this playful world.

To answer your main question,
I think it's a no. If he get's curious and tried to play it because he mistook it as a childs game, then I don't mind actually. My child is much important than money, I can still earn it, but if my relationship with my child might have a gap between us if I get mad, it would be hard to get close to him again.

Okay folks, we still have a day left before our Part 7 officially ends, I really apologize if we were late this week I hope I can come up with another craziness next week so again, stay tuned for more! I guess I might be able to create a history for this what ifs LoL.
Thank you everybody for your participation I hope us all have a great coming weekend.

Oh and yeah, I will make a short review this weekends on those who participated the past topics so I can award who deserves it. So you guys should bettter come up with the best reaction ✌️

I think it depends you could easily see if the kid do something that is surely going to lose at any point,
but I think if the game was all about luck you could just depend on that bet and go on your luck and sometimes it could easily be a jackpot just like in a lot of movies.
But most of the time it is a good idea just to trust the bet of the kid but still think how much money you are going to lose.

Depends on how much is at stake, so if the amount isn't too high I wouldn't care whether it win or lose. But because I'm not too careful enough and left my full balance on that PC while I was away, then that's my problem and negligence because I've left my PC open.

I would blame the kid and might be angry for a bit if a big amount lost but that feeling would be gone quickly. Because my attitude is like, I'll get mad for a bit but after that, everything will be okay again. Then I'll tell the kid that don't touch things that doesn't belong to him/her.

I will not be upset, in the first place I should not be gambling openly it's a big no no for your family to find out you are into gambling, do it alone in your own room, I will not, of course, tell my kid that I am gambling, kids are curious, they want to try out new things always, and your kid can lead to something bad, so it's better not to.

Yes, that kid doesn't know what we did, and the kid only clicks the image in the computer on what he saw. But if somehow, that kid makes something wrong, we don't have to mad or stress and yealing to that kid because that will makes that kid sad. Perhaps, we need to take care of our laptop and stay away from the kid, so they don't use the computer or laptop without we watch what they do. It is our responsibility to make sure our works are not getting damage from that kid.

Letting that happen and forgiving the kid, however, he doesn't know what he is playing, what he thinks is a fancy game, so that's okay. But to avoid it happening again it is better to lock when away from the laptop it is useful to avoid people at home other than children to access the laptop or account.

It will depend on the situation.

If the kid accidentally bet all of my funds and unfortunately lost all of it then I will be angry on it but I will not give some punishments like beating him/her or the same but on the other side if he accidentally bet it and fortunately win on it then it will be a different story because I will give a treat to the kid if his accidental bet won . Either way, I will not be angry that much if I lost my money in gambling or not because I'm always ready for it .

If the kid was able to make bets while I was away from my pc i'd take the blame in this situation since I left the browser open. I'll probably be upset if I have a lot in my account but that rarely happens. I wouldn't trust his play I think by doing so you're just encouraging him to do the same thing again in the future and that could ruin him if he eventually gets addicted to playing it.

I wont be mad or angry, not even a bit. Maybe I will just laugh at it. Its my responsibility to lock the pc when I am away even if its just a few second, its my fault so why put the blame to the poor kid. That is so irresponsible if leave it open for a kid to play with it. What if the kid got lucky? Would I treat the kid with ice cream? lol

Cool . Actually we did almost the same with the latter part, an automated solar powered trash bin with built in compaction mechanism hehehe. I can still remember the agony of familiarizing how codes on Arduino works that time despite of not being CpE or ECE .

Ps: sorry for the off topic.

Its your responsibility to put those things far away from childrens reach.They wont able to touch something if those arent on their grasp and we know that
young minds do really to touch and explore things.So it isnt their fault but yours.

A simple reminder or teaching to your son or child would be the ideal thing to do so that he would be aware on what he should do into next possible scenario.

My initial reaction would be mad that I might be able to shout on him. And then after calming, I'll talk to him. Even if it's my own child, I won't trust him playing it and won't encourage him to play more. If he accidentally make bets on it, I can't undo it so just let it be if it'll win or not. But I have to teach my child not to touch my things without my consent. Probably he still won't know that it's gambling so I won't tell that it's not a good game for a child because he'll be more curious about it. I'll just have to be more careful as a parent.

It depends on you if you'll get angry or not. However, if your child won a jackpot prize, maybe you'll praise him. Then if ever he loses in betting using your money, it's normal to get angry but you can just tell him not to do it again. Always take care of the things that are important to you. Don't let your child reach your valuable things if you don't want them to play with it.

I really can't say its part of the project but it has some mechanism, and also you can already see it on youtube,.. An automated doorlock with a face recognition and can be viewed via IP Address/wifi/portable hotspot.
At first it was a trash bin with an automatic recycling process not only 2 types but 3 (including plastics)

Do you mind if I ask what would be your project? I'm really interested on electronic projects because they're so futuristic and they're not as deadly as the mechanical parts lmao .
Damn! I will personally call the police to arrest me if it happened for that I've sinned . Just kidding, I will get mad of course but at the end of the day I will realized that it was just an accident done by my child, no one wants it to happen. As a father, I am more intellectual than him so I ought to be the one who will give more understanding. Besides it's just money, you can earn it again but the trust of your child after hitting him might not be the same before. It's harder to keep a father-son relationship intact compared on earning money. So always made the right choice.

Do that and you will look like a kid to your kid. It is your responsibility as a parent to teach your kids some manners, what don'ts and do's, simple as that, however, if you failed to be a parent, expect that your actions will reflect on your kids therefore they will grow up like you, most of the kids in the society are in the use of illegal drugs and bad influence of the society because of their parents that lacks in so many aspects in parenting.

They lack in attention, they lack in disciplining their kids, they lack in everything where they don't deserve to be called "parents"

I do agree, instead of raising your voice and be mad at your own kid, just give then a little talk that what you are doing is not some kind of kids games. What's done is already done, it would be better to make it a lesson to avoid this kind of thing to happen again. So there won't be a possible trauma to come to your child. Yelling might have a psychological damage that is not suitable for kids.

^ I dont think to raise our voice with them will make everything's okay. The damage has been already done if ever that will happen. You will accept the fact and make learned those mistakes. Definitely right, at their young age, we must have to guide them and explain to them which right or wrong. The incidents happen is just because of your careless of your thing and keep into a safe place. Much better warn your kid as earlier not to touch your phone or strictly prohibited even to use the phone while at a young age.

absolutely not! in the first place it is my negligence that becomes the cause why my kid could possibly bet a bet of his own. But to avoid it, we should took our business out of the reach of our kids. In my opinion, I will not even put my gadgets near my kid to avoid things happening like this.

I'm afraid that I could raise my voice to my kid/s. It actually they are young that they know what I am doing right now. I don't think that was right but something it lost my temper and get angry. That is why I'd never make my kids touch my phones and warn them already especially in the time like this. They are young but they already understand when I'm in work with over my phone..

Usually I have a very limited amount of credit balance in my account when I play gambling online. So, that means It will be alright if the bets my daughter has made will lose. Most, of the time I'm very confused where to place my bets considering there's a lot of options to choose. So, in this scenario I would let my daughter to finish her bet since there's a saying random bets from children are lucky.

since i cannot do anything as he was already playing?i think i will just join him and guide him to the good side,and i also believe in beginners Luck as this "ChildsPlay" is on the go.

but after the game i will tell the kid not to do that again and this is not good for the children.

what you mean do the same ? you win if the kid wins , you are going to allow him to play again  ? hmm that is a silly but a good idea to win  . if that works for you verry well then why not  ?  if the same thing happen to me , i wont let the child to touch my phone again because i have a sensitive file on my phone so what if he accidentally open those or delete them  ?  worst case can happen is that what if my bankroll will be busted  ? im just a careful player and i only bet little  .

I don't think the child should be given a reward for that, this encourages him to try gambling more, because of the rewards he is to get, he should not even tell him that you are gambling, children are imitating what adults are doing, and you are going to jeopardize him.

I will probably upset but not into my kid instead, into my self because I let that happen and I know those kids are always curious once they get something interested and attractive to their eyes. Just be careful next time and don't let it happen again. You can also warn your kid maybe they will understand at their young age.

Hmmp. I'm excited what will the story next week. Thank you for another topic of what IF.

It depends on the situation, In case the kid bets all my balances in 1 bet for sure I will tell the kid not to touch my phone again and make him understand that it is not a game for a kid. But if the bet is good and just a small amount maybe I will just do the same. A kid is a kid and does not know anything so we don't need to get upset.

I will be upset because I always educate my kids to stay away from gambling until they finished their studies.

For me, gambling is a big distraction to my kid's focus in studies because he is still young that needs more guidance.
Minors who are gambling are prone to gambling addiction, I don't want my kid to experience, it will be his problem but for sure the family will be affected and my kid has no source of income except the money I give regularly as his allowance for his studies.

its a big NO for me,. ..

i will be upset but not for the kid instead for my stupidity because i should have keep an eye on my PC or lappy or i must have told the kid in the first place not to have a hands in my doings.

but i am lucky because i only use Mobile or Ipad when i play online so there is no chance that anyone can take place in my bets,and also i am a very private person and i keep the distance from others regarding my activities.

---

off topic: its nice to see this part again since its been long when we finished part 6 lol.

I'm sure I will be angry even if it lost or wins and I'll be honest on this part because that was part of parenting that my kid shouldn't have to take an adult thing without some permission with me. What has done has done but you should teach him/her a lesson about things that shouldn't be taken or touch by kids if no consent is given because if he/she does it repetitively that wouldn't be just on your home but he/she will do it outside your home and that isn't a good act to be mannered.

I will not be angry with my kid if he uses my computer or laptop while I accept a phone call. And if somehow, he continues my play in games, and suddenly he wins, maybe I will allow him to play more to looks if he can win for another round but not for longer time

It doesn't mean I teach my kids or whatever, and I only want to know how good he played. I wouldn't mind losing some money if, in that time, I gamble, but I won't allow him to play longer because that means, I will be ready for everything that might happen.

i will be upset if it resulted in loss because of the bets my child made
but i would not be angry at my child as it was me who did not log off the system before taking a call
its our responsibility to take care of little things like this because children cannot understand in their young age

Maybe I'll be little irritated but it's just for a moment. We need to realize that they're kids and didn't know what they're doing and besides I don't want to ruin my day or rather my mood that could definitely affect how I gamble. I'll just go to another place where no one can disturb me.

Pretty sure they didn't know that it's a gambling site.

My kid is a minor, I would not allow him to gamble, but nowadays its hard to control our kids since they can access in the internet anytime and they might hide what they are doing. As for me, I will always be against on minors that are gambling because they are weak in controlling their emotion and its hard if they get addicted, it might destroy their future.

Interesting question.
Well, I wouldn’t be angry if it's a probability based gambling. I would be alittle pissed (with good self-control Ofcourse) if it's a skill-based gambling.

So, i wouldn't worry if it's a probability based gambling. I probably will just "trust" the kid thesame way I "trust" my chances to win a probability based game.    But I wouldn't trust him if it's a skill-based game he/she doesn’t know how it works

So far the amount there is not much, I won't get upset with the kid because children are known to do awkward things in an innocent way without intentions.
Moreover, a child playing the bets is more like a version of an inexperienced me when I started out gambling newly. There is no sudden luck as there is no strategy when playing it. But what I won't support in anyway is letting my kids to learn gambling or tamper with it again.

For me I just dont mind. Well that's a pretty intense situation but if its talking about a child or kid not even know that is so important how can you blame them?

It's also on our duty as parent to keep away important stuff from our children if they accidentally touch or whatever that made us lose in gambling that's our fault. I love gambling but I am sure even though this is just a scenario I will not scold my kid over it.

I am not very good at gambling myself so I'll likely try out the child's fumbling except it's not a very ridiculous odd accumulation or if the entire deposit was put into the wager.
As for getting mad, the mistake was due to my carelessness so I can't get too angry.
Another question should be; what percentage of the winnings is the child entitled to should the game be successful?

The kid is just being himself, no need to scold him or get angry, it's your fault you should do your thing away from your child, just tell your kid that he should not touch anything without asking permission first, and next time do your gambling stuff in your room away from the eyes of your kids.

Angry with children in such situation will not change things for the better, bet is running let it continue to run and finished but our kids must not continue to watch it, he must return to his activity and as a parent must inform the kid to permission when want to use something there isn't belong to him, and also educate kid that gambling is only for those who have grown up and understand the risks.

Then I may add a question to that, what if you just had a kid on your house, I mean the child is not yours 😂 would you still react the way you're guessing right now? In my case I would be definitely feel irritated at the kid and leave my place and look for another to stay. And I will also hope the bets were correct LoL.

Poor child. He can only hope you will win because if not it is going to be his fault. I don't think this is fair. The child is innocent to what happened. Whether you will lose or win with that accident, the child is not to be blamed. Actually, you are to be blamed for letting the child reach to your laptop or computer. I am referring to a little child here, not someone who is aware that his father is doing something very important and he should not touch his things.

A lot of people, will answer to not angry to their kid. It is humanity, because if we really love our children we will try as much as possible to make our children happy, maybe words like this will be easy to say, but indeed it should be because money can still be sought but scolding a child may be traumatizing him. For someone who often scolded by my parents, i wouldn't do that to my children.

Childrens always be liked something new and they will always be so curious to figure out new things around them  and because i let them entering my room and let my PC on then i wouldn't blame them from my negligence but i will tell and teach to them do not using other people's belongings without permission but i would be so glad if accidentally bets from my childrens won

Thia one will be difficult, maybe I will only get mad if I have a huge fund and it ends up losing while I am away. But, whenever if it wins or loses I will tell the child not to touch anything that is not his\hers without permision.

This is a funny scenario. I think I would not be blaming the child. He is a child after all. He does not know anything about what he is doing. If there is still something you can do to save what your child did, do it. But if there is none. Let it be. You cannot undo everything. Getting mad at the child will not make things better. It will only make it worst. You just hope that the bets accidentally made by your child will be lucky.

It depends on the age of my kids. I have a teenager and a toddler, so if the latter did it I wont get mad and will understand what she did since she is still naive and clueless for this kind of thing.

However if my eldest is the one who make the bet, I will scold him for meddling in my business. Nevertheless it already happened so I have no choice but to trust him for this one and accept the result of his bet.

I don't get angry with the kid, but perhaps, I only smile to him and telling him that it is not right to use something that he doesn't belong to him. He needs to ask my permission to use the computer, and if I allow him, then he can use my computer to play. But that is after I close my works. I don't want that kid to play any game even if that is only a game before he asked my permission.

That is happening to me with my nephew. Before he uses my laptop or computer, he always asked me if he can use that or not. If I said yes, then he will use it and stop playing if I want to use my computer.

No no. Nuh uh. My policy is for kids to learn at an early age what they can and can't touch, and me gambling is one of those. Plus, money is involved in this little incident, and well, we all know what the importance of such a thing is for our everyday lives. Id rather teach the kid how to use the pc, what to touch and not to touch instead. Ofc, id explain why they shouldn't be touched  since most accidents occur because of lil ol curiosity hanging around.

I'll be upset for sure. And it will also depends on the kid, if he/she always doing such kind of stuffs, like what you mention.
Because money involved there. But in the end, it's still your fault because at the first  place you didn't secure your mobile or any device.
It could be a lesson for us for sure once this will happen.

This is the scenario I think will happen in my case.

What I see is, if I'm making bets online then someone interrupts it and I leave my desktop, then this kid takes over my seat,  it will not be interested in what they see on that page so instead of playing on his own, on which that kid didn't even know how to place a bet, they will open a new tab then began browsing to other sites like Youtube, Y8 games, etc.

It depends on the kid's behavior. But for let's say, they really placed a bet, then no choice but to accept it. Besides, I'm just putting a fair amount in betting sites. I just hope that kid's luck will help me lol.

Of course your first reaction is that you will be upset. But kids are kids, so you need to have a lot of patience for them. I don't think it happen to me, but the closest scenario I can think of is that when I downloaded something and just went out for a few minutes and then all of a sudden when I came back I see one of my niece playing in my laptop and all my downloads went back to zero.

Lol, I was so mad but I can't do anything and I learn my lessons not to do something important in front of kids.

It depends actually but first of all why would I trust it to a kid?

But it's great that you bring this up because there might be a time that we are so preoccupied at the moment because of our busy days. It would be better to put it away from the children because kids don't know what they were doing and I don't want to ruin my whole bankroll just for a kids to play alone. And if there were times that they managed to touch it, I think I shouldn't be playing gambling games when there are kids around.

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.

No, I wouldn't be angry at him because it's not his fault. I blame myself for leaving my computer unattended and unlocked with unsafe content inside. I will probably have to explain (or make up an excuse) about what that "game" he was playing and giving advice about not using someone else's property without permission.

This is unlikely for me though because even now I almost never leave my laptop unlocked while I was away. There are a lot of private data in my laptop (same for phone) that I feel insecure leaving it unlocked or unattended.

of course, I would be upset or angry that would be the first reaction people would have in that scenario but in the end, most of us would realize that it is our own fault for
leaving it in the presence of a child. if the bet is irreversible then there's nothing you can do but trust and hope for it to win. but if the bet is reversible( it's not that I don't
trust my child) I would cancel the bet and bet with the choice that I want.

Depends! If my entire bankroll been blown up because of hitting that max bet then lost.Then for sure i would really get mad but not to that certain extent of being too exaggerated.
I would definitely tell that it isnt really good to touch things up without any permission.Im not really being too strict but into those kind of scenarios, its always been good to ask permission.
If he done things already and messed up then just forgive and tell him/her that he wont do it next time.

I was so busy for our upcoming competition for Robotics at school that's why I wasn't able to come up with a crazy idea yesterday, and actually even now I wasn't so sure about a thing so here's a little bit easy for all of you.

What if you have a kid on the house and you're currently making bets online and you accidentally have a phone call or what so ever thing you might do on that time and suddenly the kid mistook it for some fancy game and make bets on his/her own, would you be upset and get angry to the kid? Or would you rather trust a child's play on this scenario?
