Like any parent you want to protect your children from the dangers of life by exposing them safely to potential threats. Thought it was about time to teach Kingsley about the odds of winning at gambling. Purchased three $1 scratchies from the local Tattersalls counter at the Newsagents. Does anyone ever win from these? Really – what would the chances be of actually winning anything let alone an amount that would impress a would-be gambler?
Well- the whole life education backfired when the first card yielded $2 and the second $5. Kingsley’s primary school maths soon determined the $7 return more than covered the $3 outlay. The $4 earned in 1 minute was more than her weekly pocket money. Lesson over.
For the record TeamSAK does not endorse gambling in any form unless the $1 each way flutter on the Melbourne Cup yields a better return than the scratchies!

Perhaps there's some backyard two-up schools around you could introduce Kingsley to?
I'm thinking pokies at your local RSL.
