Can this be called gambling?

Because there isn't any extra money going in anyone's pocket. I mean, we would have paid the rent anyway. We are just deciding who will be the provider


Gambling

1. To play at any game of chance for money or other stakes.

2. To stake or risk money, or anything of value, on the outcome of involving chance.

I suppose it depends on your level of billiards expertise.  If you are such terrible billiards players that the outcome is primarily a matter of chance, then it fits Abu Loren's definition.  But if it is primarily a game of skill, then you're probably okay.

(Disclaimer: I am not a Muslim.  Or a billiards expert. Wink)
