My friends used to do this shit all the time at school

Every time we got caught we had to pick a different place

We played Texas hold'em and black jack primarily, poker was usually for late start days

My school banned D&D as a form of gambling in the 1980s. They shut down the D&D club and everything. I was VP of the science fiction club, and we were supposed to sign a statement that said we understood that we would not condone gambling or game playing of any sort, and this included board games. I never signed it.

You're gambling with your time. If you roll badly and die, you have to make a whole new character sheet.

They say this, but a teacher taught me how to play blackjack.

Were you gambling with real money though?
