  • I think you have a very specific definition of gambling which I don’t share. To me, gambling is much broader. Wikipedia summarizes it well:

    “Gambling thus requires three elements to be present: consideration (an amount wagered), risk (chance), and a prize.”

    That’s it. It doesn’t make an opinion whether the bet is fair. There doesn’t have to be a casino involved at all. It also doesn’t require you to put “most or your life savings” into it for it to be gambling.

    I think you are conflating high risk, high stakes and even the precence of a casino into the same concept and call it gambling.

    That was always the joke but some people prefer in-joles (i.e. already knowing they have identical faces) over being inclusive and showing the joke at face value. I can appreciate both, depending on finesse.

    This joke doesn’t really have any finesse so my vote is for inclusivity.
