Gambling and honesty with change, sentence 12
Even small bets between friends make nothing overall: if one wins £1, the other loses £1, and rows often follow, so many families have a "no betting for money" rule for kids.
Who acts: small bets, one, other, rows, loses · What happens: make, win, lose, follow, have · To what, where: nothing, betting
