  • 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.





  • I just wanted to add about the stares. Photos back then required the target to be very still ao they are just probably trying their best to keep still.

    Most photos of children failed because they moved. These were very still, hence the tension in their eyes, or just a lucky shot. Anyways, photos from way back always look like death for this reason.
