I have tried gambling with my friends when we are bored like if a red car passes by you would win,
I'm related to this kind of game. When I'm with my friends and we are on the road and nothing to do. We are betting on the color of the cars but we have some special rules to set. Like we are setting a certain period of time then we choose a color. The most car with our chosen color that passed in that period of time will be the winner. The loser(the lowest number of car color that pass through) will treat everyone.
Always a good time with friends and I am sure a lot of people will always relate to this and most especially those who have a fun filled life with crazy friends. Regardless of these, it ends up going away with adulthood sometimes and only living you with the memories at the end of the day. I can remember back then how we used to bet on asking ladies out or getting to collect numbers or betting on different things just to create some fun. It is always fun even more than gambling itself.
This may be called gambling i guess but its not a real-life gambling game like most of us here engaged.Of course i had also experience bets like that way back in my teenage days.But that game does not give us big profits like what we are into now.Starting a gambling game can often happen if i'm with my close friends who used to gamble too.
Or big losses. From your statement, you are treating gambling as a source of profits/income. Which should never be the case. If you were gambling on such petty things like simple trading cards, cars passing, or whatever small bets, it is still gambling. It may not be the usual thing like dice and slots but it makes something like this a lot more interesting as you wage on the outcome of something.
