What does the "take a shot" mean?
Well, it's probably not gambling if the risk involved is little. Wish I know what the "take a shot" means to understand this whole post properly and give a reasonable response.
"Take a shot" implies that the loser has to drink vodka, whiskey etc. It is a drinking game basically. I prefer gambling with clothes in comparison(Boys and girls involved). This basically kicks things up a notch.
Gambling between family can be considered as safe gambling or real gamble because we are not going to spend too much money but we are going to get more fun compared to real life casinos.
Gambling with family members is not always safe in my opinion since it could lead to unnecessary fights and I am speaking from experience. I witnessed fights between family members due to the money aspect.
As this quarantine is making us homesick, we tend to play jenga and the loser will do a certain number of pushups. I'm very good at playing jenga and my family member is not that good in board games, so I dominated them everytime we play. I do pushups regularly so being a loser and be punished is favorable in me. Playing board games with your family and having consequences for the losers is also considered as gambling for me because you also need to take a risk. You need to make a strategic plan, be skilled, and think critically in order for you to win the game. However, the pushup punishment will help them to become fit and increase their muscular strength.
Today we have a worldwide quarantine that all of the countries made a lockdown so they are trying to avoid the spreading of the virus rapidly and this is a good thing even we want to have some gambling and even there is an internet connection just to play online gambling why not having fun with our family and play some games that are related too to the gambling games we are looking for and those are win win situation that you enjoy the game that you want to gamble at the same time you have bonding to your family. Also, it is good to introduce to them a new game that can help their critical and strategic mind about the things you've learned by just playing gambling.
