How Exactly Is The Word Gambling Defined?
While the term “gambling” is a fairly ambiguous term, it is actually defined as “wagering either money or something of material value, on an event of which the outcome is uncertain”. So in effect it can cover any event where the outcome is in any way, shape or form, uncertain. Here below we list some of the strangest bets which have ever been “placed”.
Man Bets Wife In Card Game
While this is probably thought of as one of those “old wives” tales from many years ago, it did actually happen in Russia. A Poker player ran out of money and in the heat of the moment he bet his wife on the turn of the cards and as you might have guessed he lost. When his opponent tried to collect his “winnings” the players wife divorced him, went to live with the victor and married him a short time later. They now live happily ever after.
Man Bets A Boob Job
While this must be perhaps one of the strangest bets ever heard of, it seems to have happened in a US casino, although the exact date seems to be a little shrouded in mystery. One Poker player seems to have been down on his luck, no money in the pot, but left with what he thought was a good hand. Desperate to take on his opponents and put himself back in play, he bet that if he lost HE would get a boob job. Well it seems that he lost, and he had his very own set of man breasts very soon after!
There are literally hundreds if not thousands of examples of people getting carried away in the heat of the moment when gambling. What seems to be a common factor in these crazy bets is that they must see them through – even though gambling debts are not legally enforceable. Strange but true – now you know why your bookmaker makes you pay up front!
