I think it depends on the age of the kid and if he has income he can afford to lose.

I first started betting at 16 but my mother had to call my bets in to her bookie b/c he would not take a minor as a customer. She knew how much my check was every 2 weeks and would not call in any more bets once i lost a certain amount.

When i turned 18 i got my own bookie and didnt have moma to cut me off :ohno:

I voted to hit him. Better to be the guy being bet on. Now put them cleats on and lets go.

Would have that gambling conversation before the birds and the bee ones...kids today know more about sex than they do gambling...

First off, I'd be shocked. She is 8 yrs old. Secondly, (if she was old enough) I would say "Does this look like the face of an antiLoser? Who ya taking?"

I'd ask if he knows of any inside info, and if he does I'd make him tell me. Then I'd consult him that gambling is bad. Then I'd go and make the bet.
