Hello people
Parents always say to their kids that gambling is bad
... But what if you are gambling with pens instead 
? This idea sounds pretty fun to me, thought of it while watching poker a few days ago. That way, we can try to win the pens we want. All you have to do is replace the chips with pens. This can be apply to a lot of card games, such as Blackjack, Five Card Stud, Seven Card Stud.
Each pen has it's own value, there are also pens that some people haven't seen before, so if you are gambling with pens, try to use more common pens(e.g. Pilot G2, Pentel R.S.V.P., Pentel Hybrid Gel Grips, etc.) Now the value of each pen has to be decide by you and whoever you are playing against.
Here is my value on some of the common pens :
*Note* I just round them up
Pentel R.S.V.P. - $0.80
Pilot G2 - $2.50
BIC round stic - $0.10
Pentel Hybrid Gel Grip - $2.00
Dong-A Comssa Computer Sign pens - $0.50
You know what.. Decide the price yourself.
Oh and it doesn't have to be the same pen(s) your opponent is betting, it just have to be the same price. For example, Peter bet 2 Pentel R.S.V.P.s, that is $1.60. Mary can also bet 2 Pentel R.S.V.P.s, 16 BIC round stics or 2 Comssa + 6 BIC round stics.

Ya'll shouldn't be gambling, especially not considering most of you are under the age at which gambling is a permited activity (legally speaking).

Gambling a lots sure is bad, but if gambling with little money just for entertainment not that bad at all if you do it occasionally. But in my country gambling is illegal, the only place allowed for non-muslim to gamble is in the casino in Genting Highland.
BTW, i would prefer to try to win pens that i want through pen spinning battle. That's mean you challenge someone who has the pen(s) you want and win him/her to get the pen(s).
