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?

I think most of us have this kind of childhood or teenage memories where we use to gamble at school, or at least make some bets during school hours.
This reminds me of the time when I was in high school, and I was setting a match with money involve along with my class mates and we didn't notice that our teacher was already at the room and heard about it, luckily he wasn't so strict and just let it slide and starts the class.

One of the things most people do not realize is that gambling can be potentially everywhere, so you do not have to stick to the classic games that everyone knows, on our school the most common bets could have been classified as sport bets, as we often competed to see who was the fastest or who could score the most points in a game, like most kids would, and once it ended you realized that your peers have been trying to predict the outcome of the competition and put money forward to support their point view, at the time I am sure that most of us did not thought about this as gambling, but now that I think about it, it is clear that it was.
