A bet is defined, whatever its type may be, as that gaming activity in which amounts of money are risked on the outcome of a predetermined event, the outcome of which is uncertain and outside the participants' control, the amount of the prize given being determined as a function of the amounts risked or other factors previously established in the regulation of the specific type of bet.
