It is defined. It is worth clarifying that this game will always be influenced by the results of each party (called "player"), such as intelligence, skills, competence, and pure coincidence. "Bet" is defined as another type of contract, and more than two people with different opinions about an event take certain acts (usually financially) for the interests of the dominant parties. It is a legal transaction that promises to do it. Therefore, in the bed, it does not need to actively participate in the parties (called "Better") to affect the results of the event, only express personal opinions. The subtle difference between "games" and "bed" is that the results of the game are determined by the parties' actions, while the results of the bet are affected by the fact that they are not related to the party's intentions. Brazil's law is working with the concept of "accidental game" because there is no direct translation of "gambling". The only legal game since the gambling was completely banned in 1941
