Title: Have you & friends thought of engaging on any unfamiliar activity for gambling Post by: EluguHcman on February 28, 2024, 08:22:27 AM Has gambling been set illegal in your place and due to how much you and friends love to gamble, you would just think of a unique activity that you can play even in the public and people would never suspect it that there is stake placed in the game?
This thought came to me after remembering some of the pasts that the cards, cheers, dice and the rest of the skill-based games has ruined people in the street on the cost of gambling. The authorities took it upon themselves going after the gamblers to put the situation of the ruined lives to an end. So I and some friends creatively brought about drawing a circle ⭕ and agrees that whoever throws stone and gets into the circle without touching its line is the winner of the game. So only us (friends knows what we are doing and that there is a stake in the gaming).

Gambling is legal in my country and in the town that I am. In countries that gambling is not legal, there are hidden places that gamblers are gambling. Also there are still ways that gamblers go online to gamble. But I do not know how they do that because gambling is legal in my country with both local and foreign gambling sites that are available.This thought came to me after remembering some of the pasts that the cards, cheers, dice and the rest of the skill-based games has ruined people in the street on the cost of gambling. Some people will want to have fun with gambling but your government do not let people of your country to have freedom that some people will want. Some people will be gambling in your country and that is just it. While some people will prefer to use foreign gambling sites. The authorities took it upon themselves going after the gamblers to put the situation of the ruined lives to an end. So I and some friends creatively brought about drawing a circle ⭕ and agrees that whoever throws stone and gets into the circle without touching its line is the winner of the game. I can not have the fun to gamble with friends because I will not want to gamble with them like this. I prefer we should be together and gamble on a gambling site. But if your friends agree to that, it is not a bad idea. But avoid making it big in a way that other people will not be coming.So only us (friends knows what we are doing and that there is a stake in the gaming). Title: Re: Have you & friends thought of engaging on any unfamiliar activity for gambling Post by: Frankolala on February 28, 2024, 08:41:26 AM I and my friends way back have gambled in so many ways that no one will know that we are gambling only if there was disagreement that led to making of noise. I could remember we bet more on football games. This is because when I was young, I love playing football a lot, and I also have friends that loves playing football. In the evening we meet on the field and play football, which became part of our daily routine.
We will place bets on the game we are playing, and nobody will know that it is not just exercise but a bet is at stake. Another one we do is, betting with a friend or anyone that feels he is a good goalkeeper. We play five balls, and both of you will agree on how many goals to score, for you to win the bet. I and my friends have also gone somewhere to have fun, and we saw two people playing table tennis, after much observation we decided to bet on the two guys playing the game within ourselves, unknown to them. It was all fun then, sounds crazy right. Title: Re: Have you & friends thought of engaging on any unfamiliar activity for gambling Post by: ARTOIS on February 28, 2024, 09:35:00 AM Yes, all forms of gambling are prohibited in my country, as strict laws have been put in place that punish gamblers with imprisonment But as you said, there is always a solution, and if you are doing something bad, the important thing is that people do not see you and there is no one to tell off, and this applies to gambling with my friends. We buy small rubber balls and assign a small amount of money for each ball. We meet in the alley and place a different color ball a few meters away from us. Then we throw balls and whoever hits the target first gets the money.

So only us (friends knows what we are doing and that there is a stake in the gaming). I never came into that situation where go decide to gamble at whatever cost even if its illegal on our country since I don't want to violate the law regarding unto this matter. If government say that they don't allow any activity then would follow since don't want to face any consequences just for the short time of fun. But luckily gambling is allowed on our country that's why we can participate on anywhere we want and that's why I'm here discussing about gambling and also the opinion regarding on any discussion related to this. Also don't do weird things just to have things to gamble since usually I play on classic games or other that I can see on offline or online casino. Title: Re: Have you & friends thought of engaging on any unfamiliar activity for gambling Post by: uneng on February 28, 2024, 09:59:45 AM Yes, sometimes I played cards at home, with family members, putting money at stake. It was nothing serious, and no considerable sums of money were wagered, rather it was just an initiative to add some extra fun and excitement to the game.
Sometimes we also played Bingo, which is a kind of Keno, but played manually, and you can't choose which numbers you want, just the card with determined numbers printed on it already. I had the Bingo machine and cards, so I worked like the casino on this game, selling the cards and sharing 80%-90% of the total sum of money collected as the prize for the winner, and keeping 20%-10% for myself. Who completed a line on the card won the round. Sometimes we played full card rounds, so it was more expensive, as was the final prize too.

We often did such activities in the past and even at some times with different types of games making bets hidden only from us knowing about them. However, for now the type of online gambling for me and several friends may be increasingly private and can no longer be shown in public. Because in our region gambling activities are considered illegal and the impression in the eyes of the public is really bad to say the least. Therefore, if you want to play around a little, you need confirmation so that people around you don't find out. For example when we watch a football match while watching, we place bets outside the stadium, watching as usual but after the match is over and we complete the bet according to the agreement.So only us (friends knows what we are doing and that there is a stake in the gaming). Title: Re: Have you & friends thought of engaging on any unfamiliar activity for gambling Post by: aioc on February 28, 2024, 10:30:55 AM So I and some friends creatively brought about drawing a circle ⭕ and agrees that whoever throws stone and gets into the circle without touching its line is the winner of the game. So only us (friends knows what we are doing and that there is a stake in the gaming). When it comes to gambling which comes naturally to us, imagination is the limit, anything can be thought of I have a friend like that who always bets on everything that he comes across, the mind is imaginative even if you are in a country where gambling is illegal you and your friends will always find something to bet, all forms and kinds of gambling was created because of the creativeness of mind. The game that you and your friends played is already being played in our country, but we're using coins instead of stones, so many gaming and gambling platforms are also think of games that they can present to their players because gamblers love to see new games, if there are new games in a casino it will attract a lot of players. Title: Re: Have you & friends thought of engaging on any unfamiliar activity for gambling Post by: Dr.Bitcoin_Strange on February 28, 2024, 10:34:19 AM Gambling is legal in my country, so nobody pretends they are not gambling in order not to get caught. Everyone is gambling freely in the open space, and those who love street gambling are there too, doing so many activities that represent gambling in more unique ways.
Most of the street gamblers in my country have so many activities that they are doing that, before you can play, you will have to stake some money. Now in the street games in my country, there is something like a crash. They designed something like a hurdle, and if you want to stake in the game, you will pick a stone and throw it in that hurdle, and it will start to move. It will keep moving until you decide to stop it and take any amount that you won, or you will allow it to crash. I know I can't describe this very well, but it was really unique the way it was done. There's another unique street game too, where the organizer will place some bottles of wine and the players (the gamblers) will have to buy a circle object, which they will throw at the bottled wines. If they are lucky and throw the circlike object and it clamps the bottle without it falling, the player has won that wine. OP, you are right that some people can actually come up with different ideas to gamble without anyone knowing. In my country, it's done openly, and you might not even be aware that gambling with real money is what is going on there. Title: Re: Have you & friends thought of engaging on any unfamiliar activity for gambling Post by: alastantiger on February 28, 2024, 10:43:22 AM Has gambling been set illegal in your place and due to how much you and friends love to gamble, you would just think of a unique activity that you can play even in the public and people would never suspect it that there is stake placed in the game? It sounds weird to gamble with friends. And if anyone wins, we give them the money staked. I would feel that it is better to loan them the money or gift them the money than doing this. The point here is that gambling with strangers in the context the OP puts it is better and more preferrable than gambling with friends. Quote This thought came to me after remembering some of the pasts that the cards, cheers, dice and the rest of the skill-based games has ruined people in the street on the cost of gambling. AFAIK, the authorities have not been able to successfully regulate gambling talk more of illegal gambling rings. These illegal gambling rings operate like a circus. They change location from time to time if the authorities bothers them so much. The authorities took it upon themselves going after the gamblers to put the situation of the ruined lives to an end. Quote So I and some friends creatively brought about drawing a circle ⭕ and agrees that whoever throws stone and gets into the circle without touching its line is the winner of the game. I am not in support of this idea. It will lead to a huge misunderstanding among you people and can even end the friendship.So only us (friends knows what we are doing and that there is a stake in the gaming). Title: Re: Have you & friends thought of engaging on any unfamiliar activity for gambling Post by: criptoevangelista on February 28, 2024, 10:44:35 AM It's very creative to create your own game, I liked the idea... It's a very particular thing, but isn't there an interest in bringing in new players? because always playing with the same people over time can get pretty boring... How are you going to bring in new players without attracting attention?

It's not an unfamiliar kind of gambling we have this kind of game that is very similar to what you're friends are playing and this is where inside the circle there are coins and the participants try to hit these coins with another coin, so what you thought of is a unique are likely to be popular in other games you can think of anything when it comes to gambling because people can bet on anything and everything although some of it are weird ideas but gamblers can easily understand it because gamblers understand one another they speak the same language and their minds are in sync. We have a saying birds of the same flock together, so gamblers can easily understand new games in gambling.

The promotion is not getting better because many underage Facebook users are seeing casino ads on this platform. Although there is no problem if adults gamble, it's just that when the underage or minor children who are seen on the Facebook platform feel sorry for themselves, it's good that the children see it in reality. Title: Re: Have you & friends thought of engaging on any unfamiliar activity for gambling Post by: ethereumhunter on February 28, 2024, 11:00:41 AM I will not do that if gambling is prohibit in my country in the public area. That can makes me in danger because the authorities will check and investigate it and they will gives punishment to us. If I want to playing gambling with my friends, we will use quiet place so no one will know what we are doing. That will safe me from the authorities and other people so we can playing gambling without a problems. We don't know if people will not suspicious with what we do in the public area but I guess some people will attract to our activity and will ask what we do. They will report it to the authorities if they found us playing gambling and that's the trouble begin.
Title: Re: Have you & friends thought of engaging on any unfamiliar activity for gambling Post by: piebeyb on February 28, 2024, 11:15:17 AM Actually in my country gambling is also very illegal but we are still safe playing gambling behind closed doors and not in public, there are many games that are not usually played to trick anyone because most law enforcers only know about gambling with dice and other things, so sometimes we gamble with different ways, for example, prepare an old bottle and we try to insert a plastic bracelet to throw into the bottle until the bracelet goes into the bottle then he will be the winner. I'm sure this game is also often shown in entertainment games.
But that's how we play gambling, we don't have to use cards or dice like common gambling and which is usually used by people who like to gamble, but that's how we always have a way where we gamble with something that is unusual and impossible to use so it works for us. play, although maybe sometimes the gambling we do is just for entertainment, not for anything serious, so every time someone wins, they are obliged to treat us to a meal, so not all of the betting money is won by the winner but is used to eat with friends. BTW, the games you play with your friends are also very creative. ;D Title: Re: Have you & friends thought of engaging on any unfamiliar activity for gambling Post by: Mrbluntzy on February 28, 2024, 11:19:09 AM So I and some friends creatively brought about drawing a circle ⭕ and agrees that whoever throws stone and gets into the circle without touching its line is the winner of the game. So only us (friends knows what we are doing and that there is a stake in the gaming). Memories.... You just reminded me how my sisters are her friends would always play this game both in school and at home too. They enjoy this game do much, they also did it like a competition and friends would have to pick whom they think can win. They always had all the good fun in that game but they don't play it as gambling by staking money. In my country, it's mostly females that play such game. If it were men they're going to introduce money to it. Title: Re: Have you & friends thought of engaging on any unfamiliar activity for gambling Post by: Z390 on February 28, 2024, 11:20:42 AM What do you mean by unfamiliar? I have some friends that I just met online through online gaming and we took it upon ourselves to start risking some money on the games.
Like, the first person to kill 4 enemies in the game without dying will have $5 worth of PlayStation gift card, we do this few times playing Warzone 2 multiplayer and it's so much fun, and also more challenging. There are far away from my and nobody will ever know that we gambled, unless I say it out myself, I mostly don't keep friends very close, I like been all by myself, it could be different if friends are living closer by but online gaming fixed this even better. Title: Re: Have you & friends thought of engaging on any unfamiliar activity for gambling Post by: Text on February 28, 2024, 11:21:07 AM Yes, my friends and I used to engage in unfamiliar gambling activities during our childhood days when smartphones and the internet were not yet popular, and life was not as complicated back then.
OP mentioned that they used a circle for their drawing, while we used a square, and we used marbles as our projectiles for the coins. We would determine who goes first based on proximity to a drawn line, and from that line, we would take turns throwing coins into the square. If you successfully flipped a coin from heads to tails or vice versa, or if you managed to get any coins to go outside the square, those coins would be yours.

Gambling in house hold or anywhere outside the license casino is illegal in my country. There’s still some people in my neighborhood that playing secretly card game in their houses but it’s already very rare occasion unlike before when the law for house hold gambling is not implemented. So any form of gambling here is prohibited because there’s already a lot of backyard gamblers here that face jail time. So I and some friends creatively brought about drawing a circle ⭕ and agrees that whoever throws stone and gets into the circle without touching its line is the winner of the game. So only us (friends knows what we are doing and that there is a stake in the gaming). Why does you and your friend need to gamble just to have fun secretly instead of playing game without money involved if the goal is just to get entertainment. Just play to online casino to gamble safe. There’s a chance that you will still bust when someone caught you handling already your bets. Title: Re: Have you & friends thought of engaging on any unfamiliar activity for gambling Post by: danherbias07 on February 28, 2024, 12:05:12 PM That's actually an old game but you just made it different by drawing a circle.
Most of the time old people will do this gambling game when they are on the streets. Whoever coin will be the nearest on the "line" will win. Line, not a circle. Many people know that's one way to gamble fast and I bet some police will find it out, especially the seniors. This is the game when you have 3 or more players on the streets but if only two are playing then they just play the coin flip heads or tails. We played this game back when I was still a kid but we didn't use money as a bet. We stake rubber Marvel toys and there was even a time we only stake bottle caps and we are happy with it. Still, you have to be careful if you are betting for money. There might be eyes in your vicinity that would tell the authority about what you are doing and if you are caught in the camera while paying then I bet they will have the evidence against you.

So only us (friends knows what we are doing and that there is a stake in the gaming). Altough, gambling is legal in my country but still me and my friends (back when we were much younger) we also devised a few games that we normally gambled on - sometimes we use other things aside money, for example we gamble on who’s going to have more sessions when we are to play mobile games, stake our drinks and the rest. Back then as a kid not all of us had access to money so they ones without money would stake something that others want but it wasn’t illegal.

If you successfully flipped a coin from heads to tails or vice versa, or if you managed to get any coins to go outside the square, those coins would be yours. I can’t stop ignoring this post because this is the popular games in my country called Tanching(Not sure with the spelling but that’s sound like that). As I child, this is the first game which I play that I didn’t know it’s gambling but I’m very happy to play this because there’s money at stake which means everyone is putting their heart on the game just to win. I’m not good targeting coins outside the box which is why my gameplay strategy here is to keep sniping other players by positioning my coin to possible place of my opponent coin landed assuming he will miss his shot. I just keep eliminating other players to get the pot without the need to shoot out all the coins in the square. This game is a gold and I’m surprised that this being play in different locations because I thought this was invented by adults during our childhood time. Are you from Philippines too right? Title: Re: Have you & friends thought of engaging on any unfamiliar activity for gambling Post by: AicecreaME on February 28, 2024, 04:18:49 PM Sounds cool and unique indeed but illegal it illegal.
It's just a matter of time and someone will find out that you're doing gambling in that kind of way. Also, I'm just curios how you guys bet every round, I bet it's hard to remember who wins every round unless you're going to tally it up and that will make it very suspicious since if you guys just want it to look like a child's game, you won't bother recording in any kind of ways who wins every round.

Depending on where it is done and whether there are people around when they do it, they could actually go away with doing this on the streets and not being prosecuted (assuming this stuff is even illegal in the jurisdiction of OP). But, to be honest with you, to me this thing about drawing a circle in the ground and throwing a stone on it does not sound like gambling at all, it is a skill based game. Gambling is supposed to be all about luck and those who play are supposed to have little or no influence over the outcome of the game, in this case, a skillful enough person could have better chances to win if practices long enough, so this is not gambling. If they gathered in the middle of the street and tossed a coin, it would be more appropriate than throwing stones into a circle. - Currently, I don't have any friends who like gambling and still live near me, so I have not considered to gather with them in order to wager money for fun. It is better just to stay home and do so in the comfort and safety of one's own home...

Have you considered the possibility of one of your friends ratting the group out to the authority. It can happen, and you cannot always trust completely. Say he gets aggrieved from loosing so much and just wants to teach you guys a lesson, maybe because you laughed at him.To trust is difficult, trusting one person is alright, but trusting more than one person does not seem wise. If gambling activities are very illegal in your country and there is a form of severe punishment for defaulters, I advice you keep any form of gambling activity you engage in private and secret.

If you still feel threatened then just use the same technique whar Meemaw used in the Sheldon series. :D
Title: Re: Have you & friends thought of engaging on any unfamiliar activity for gambling Post by: Negotiation on February 28, 2024, 06:05:33 PM I and my friends would never think of engaging in any unknown activity for gambling because gambling is totally illegal in our country with severe penalties if found out by the law enforcement agencies. Gambling in public will have bad consequences for us. There is no such activity for online gambling. All information is secret law enforcement agencies will not know. That's why me and my friends can bet on games from home without any hassle here no one will suspect and be safe from everything.

You wont really be needing on going into those tons of technical approach on things before you could play. When it comes to gambling activity on whatever the things correlated to it then it would really be just that depending on how you would really be that dealing up with it. Unfamiliar way or not then it wont matter as long you could really be able to apply gambling into it. Yes, its really that unusual but at least we've been able to do on what we do have in mind on which this is something that we do really need to deal up with.

Title: Re: Have you & friends thought of engaging on any unfamiliar activity for gambling Post by: goinmerry on February 28, 2024, 07:19:29 PM If you live in a place where gambling is completely illegal, you might not likely end up being curious about it since it's not the activity that you've been used to while you grow up. Therefore, no such thing as gambling-related activity you and your friends should think about.
However, if gambling is legal in your place of course there are illegal gambling types that are prohibited, but if one of those illegal gambling games is the one you want, you have no choice but to follow the law and look for an alternative. I didn't end up yet creating a gambling game with my friends just to look for an alternative. Most of the gambling types I engaged in are legal in my place.

Yes I support this, illegal is illegal and you can't change it because it's illegal, such things can also be called cheating and it should be stopped as soon as possible. Someone will find out the truth behind the game and the owner will be freezed for it because he is cheating the bettors.It's just a matter of time and someone will find out that you're doing gambling in that kind of way.

Local games can be trickish sometimes mostly when the owners are scammers. There's this things I suspect about local games, the owners of the local games might pay people to play and win with a different layout. They have a tricky ways to win every round and as they are winning every rounds it will attract more gamblers attentions. Jokes aside, it is very hard to win every round on a bet. But there is nothing luck can not do but such luck is very rare to find.

Title: Re: Have you & friends thought of engaging on any unfamiliar activity for gambling Post by: teamsherry on February 28, 2024, 07:33:55 PM Gambling is not illegal in my country but you don't want the police to notice that your actually gambling on the street, I've also played a few games with my friends and we do add a stake to make it fun and more competitive, it's mostly football or tennis skill based games.
We do it mostly to bring out the best in us, although we are well aware that loser goes with nothing and winner takes all, so it's a way we get to compete with ourselves and get a little fun.

The authorities took it upon themselves going after the gamblers to put the situation of the ruined lives to an end. So I and some friends creatively brought about drawing a circle ⭕ and agrees that whoever throws stone and gets into the circle without touching its line is the winner of the game. So only us (friends knows what we are doing and that there is a stake in the gaming). unique bet, do you think betting on how many times the frog makes a sound is a unique bet? in the past when I was young and not married, I often bet with my friends and bet on something unusual like betting on the number of a car or motorbike that would pass by and if one of us succeeded in guessing the back number of the vehicle, the person will win the amount of money bet. and actually I have told this story in the past in the same discussion, even betting on the number of vehicles that will pass on a certain road and we bet in a public place but many people don't realize it and the funny thing is that when we lose we still laugh together because unique bets like this are very exciting. I'm sure all the gamblers here who have been gambling for a long time will have at least once experienced gambling on a unique game like I did and betting like this is what is called betting for fun.

We had such a situation in my country when the government began to clamp down on illegal gambling that mostly happen on the street. Some gangs and cult groups usually engage in fighting and sometimes shooting during these gambling activities. The government banned such street gambling and participants of such were arrested and persecuted. This thought came to me after remembering some of the pasts that the cards, cheers, dice and the rest of the skill-based games has ruined people in the street on the cost of gambling.

So only us (friends knows what we are doing and that there is a stake in the gaming). In such a situation, the best option will be to engage in registered and conventional gambling instead of risky street gambling. Some people who are used to street gambling will look for alternative means to still engage in street gambling. I know some gamblers who had to hide the money that was staked in different locations so that people or the police would assume that they were just engaging in maybe card or dice game just for fun.

Tossing a stone into a circle is your game and only you guys know there's some betting action going on. It's like having your own secret gambling club, keeping things low-key and fun. Just make sure everyone's cool with the setup so it stays a good time for everyone involved
Title: Re: Have you & friends thought of engaging on any unfamiliar activity for gambling Post by: Potato Chips on February 28, 2024, 11:12:10 PM Regardless of legality, I believe this has been happening and as long as it's not large scale, it's likely, there'd be no trouble.
For instance, I used to play local card games with friends and relatives with money at stake. I also remember mom used to meet up with the neighborhood ladies to play bingo at someone's house where they have a prize pool for every session. My step-dad used to bet with his friends everytime there was a sports live viewing meetup. TBH, we can't deny lots of simple games are elevated when there is a money at stake ;D Title: Re: Have you & friends thought of engaging on any unfamiliar activity for gambling Post by: Lida93 on February 29, 2024, 06:07:24 AM Has gambling been set illegal in your place and due to how much you and friends love to gamble, you would just think of a unique activity that you can play even in the public and people would never suspect it that there is stake placed in the game? Your post just reminds me of a past event several years ago back then in secondary school (as we call it here) I had these classmates who will always want to use the 25 minutes break-time for lunch to play a gamble and it went on for a period then other students took interest and as a result of the new persons it wasn't longer a secret to conceal anymore and it eventually got to the ears of one of the school teacher's and that was how they all got caught one day in the very act and were immensely disciplined after several pleas against facing expulsion.This thought came to me after remembering some of the pasts that the cards, cheers, dice and the rest of the skill-based games has ruined people in the street on the cost of gambling.

So far as there are people in a society that loves gambling there will always be gamblers to go against any ban laws against gambling activity in that society but how they go about it in doing it really very important for their own safety against being caught by the authorities. I am not against you and friends having fun with the style of gambling you guys had initiated but wisdom suggest you guys don't take it to the public in doing so despite you claiming to do it in disguise. I don't come from a country where the law is against gambling but ifit happens to be that way some day, then I will have to be gambling in my closet and not publicly with friends. We can be caught you know!

I have had similar experience in my local community where i reside. In those days when sports betting wasn't as popular as what we have now,the popular gambling we knew of was playing of cards where each person brings an amount like $1 and let's say they are four altogether it will now compound to $4 and at the end of the play whoever wins goes with the $4 dollar. We will play it for different rounds and when some people see that they've won above the amount they came with, they will want to quite half way which will result in fighting and in some cases serious violence. It got to the authority and they had to barn the playing of cards but we didn't allow the ban to stop us oh, we can even go as far as enteing the forest just to play our whoteTitle: Re: Have you & friends thought of engaging on any unfamiliar activity for gambling Post by: EluguHcman on February 29, 2024, 08:16:49 AM Quote from: Frankolala link=topic=5486868.msg63730468#msg63730468 [b date=1709109686] @Frankolala, you seems to have a very clear knowledge towards this situation because at such sceneros of the contexts of this thread, since we bets for the public not to be aware that there is a stake involved, we literarily tries to manage our anger temperatures because since there is no moderator we sometimes plays the game with grudges and sometimes we applies cheats just to make sure to win.I and my friends way back have gambled in so many ways that no one will know that we are gambling only if there was disagreement that led to making of noise[/b]. I could remember we bet more on football games. This is because when I was young, I love playing football a lot, and I also have friends that loves playing football. In the evening we meet on the field and play football, which became part of our daily routine. We will place bets on the game we are playing, and nobody will know that it is not just exercise but a bet is at stake. Another one we do is, betting with a friend or anyone that feels he is a good goalkeeper. We play five balls, and both of you will agree on how many goals to score, for you to win the bet. I and my friends have also gone somewhere to have fun, and we saw two people playing table tennis, after much observation we decided to bet on the two guys playing the game within ourselves, unknown to them. It was all fun then, sounds crazy right. So sometimes we grows wild and distabilizes the game that was supposed to be a privacy game and the we causes havocs between each other and then we get attracted to the publics attentions where we gets victimized by the laws after being caught. Title: Re: Have you & friends thought of engaging on any unfamiliar activity for gambling Post by: Pi-network314159 on February 29, 2024, 08:39:36 AM Your topic and the body are saying different thing, when I saw it, I feel you are talking about using some enchantment or African magic on gambling but now I know more better.There are many ways to engage on unfamiliar activities for gambling. But the one you explained about drawing a circle, is a game we do when we where kids and that has been for long just that such gamble has not been officially put in online form , if it was introduced as online game, it would have been a game for many to predict. The only unfamiliar games we play which is called "AYO" in our dialect. the game has 12 holes inside with 4 numbers of stone each inside with a total of 48 stones. It is an unfamiliar game with fun. Another one is the draft, you hardly see draft anywhere online except on the street and this type of gamble require physical stake and win.

I've been enjoying the best freedom ever in my life, especially when I was growing up, no one restricted me that much and I am thankful that I never missed the opportunity till today. To those who were and are being restricted, I think it is not fair. Finding your way around it is not bad as well. Because as human beings, I love us to have a high degree of freedom unless such will be a danger for us, and if it is a danger in gambling, it is best to experience it by ourselves to be able to decide for ourselves. What you and your friends did was very good and I remember that we had a whole lot of games and activities similar to yours when I was growing up, but we never bet on or against it for any reason. We did not even have the money to do the betting then.This thought came to me after remembering some of the pasts that the cards, cheers, dice and the rest of the skill-based games has ruined people in the street on the cost of gambling. The authorities took it upon themselves going after the gamblers to put the situation of the ruined lives to an end.

So only us (friends knows what we are doing and that there is a stake in the gaming). It was all about friendly contests and the winners will only be praised, and that ends it. This is the reason it will not be easily possible for you guys to be suspected since you were doing the monetary transactions amongst yourself. Above all, it's all fun, also by what you are doing, you guys can be responsible in gambling as you can't wager too much on it to make it pain you. I can only hope that anyone in this category can soon leave such a situation that will place an embargo on them so that they can explore the world to its fullest. People should be free! Title: Re: Have you & friends thought of engaging on any unfamiliar activity for gambling Post by: Gozie51 on February 29, 2024, 10:27:02 AM So only us (friends knows what we are doing and that there is a stake in the gaming). If you lock yourself inside an enclosed place that people can only hear voices but won't see the physical activities going on there then they would not know about that but if you are outside of course people will see when you exchange money. But it is not a crime to gamble in an open place in my country, it only the morality of it that restrict people sometimes. However, many still don't care about who is around if they want to gamble, like in small football match with like three or five players from each side, they decide to gamble without any secrecy in it. I and my friends way back have gambled in so many ways that no one will know that we are gambling only if there was disagreement that led to making of noise. I could remember we bet more on football games. This is because when I was young, I love playing football a lot, and I also have friends that loves playing football. In the evening we meet on the field and play football, which became part of our daily routine. Yes this is almost the same thing I'm talking about. Usually guys gamble a lot using playing of football among themselves, chosing their own team and staking on it. Sometimes, it is even done or organised as tournament and prices are given to winners. It is fun to be part of this and I also remember I was part of it too. Title: Re: Have you & friends thought of engaging on any unfamiliar activity for gambling Post by: Crypt0Gore on February 29, 2024, 10:30:15 AM What if gambling is prohibited in the country? Even if you have to do it in privacy you won't want to call anyone to join you, or you will end up in trouble, it's better to gamble in privacy, if you want to gamble with friends make sure that gambling is legal in your country.
I don't have a lot of friends and the few I have are living far away from me, we don't get together like we used to when we are young, if maybe one day, we can actually decide to gamble again, this time together, it won't be on a casino game, maybe local games or video games. There is some fun controlling a football club and go ahead to challenge your friend who is also a fan of another football club on your TV set, like PES or FIFA football games on PC.

So only us (friends knows what we are doing and that there is a stake in the gaming). me and friends , we invented our own way of playing Lucky 9 in use of calculator in which the one will put 6 digits and the other one will choose His 3 digits from that 6 numbers and we will combined all those digits and who will get closer to 9 will be the winner , this is our game in highschool and college . Title: Re: Have you & friends thought of engaging on any unfamiliar activity for gambling Post by: EluguHcman on March 01, 2024, 07:02:42 AM Yes, all forms of gambling are prohibited in my country, as strict laws have been put in place that punish gamblers with imprisonment But as you said, there is always a solution, and if you are doing something bad, the important thing is that people do not see you and there is no one to tell off, and this applies to gambling with my friends. We buy small rubber balls and assign a small amount of money for each ball. We meet in the alley and place a different color ball a few meters away from us. Then we throw balls and whoever hits the target first gets the money. Manipulation is a trick and not an official resolution. That is by the way... I am just wondering how you people manage your disagreement situations at such pool of gambling on a secret mode so that people doesn't understand what is going on among you all considering being punishable if caught and I am sure you don't agree at all times. There must always be a certain sentiments along the lines somedays. Title: Re: Have you & friends thought of engaging on any unfamiliar activity for gambling Post by: EluguHcman on March 01, 2024, 08:18:46 AM It's very creative to create your own game, I liked the idea... It's a very particular thing, but isn't there an interest in bringing in new players? because always playing with the same people over time can get pretty boring... How are you going to bring in new players without attracting attention? Aside the fun side let's be submissive that we still gambles to make profits so basically it is like we considers the profits first before the fun side so it doesn't matter if you feels the fun or not as long there is a stake on who would take the crown and who is loosing.Along the lines some person's who are also gamblers are sensible enough to figure the game would not just be played without a stake so they are logical enough to say... I want to play and a short while he/they could say... Let's have it a stake. We firstly pretends like we don't game with stakes because he might be sensed to be. Suspect being one of the anti gamblers in the society so be are careful enough so we don't get set up to be apprehended. The eagerness to stake and gamble was like something so interesting we could not do without. I could almost say that it is a bit addiction because we usually have the urge to play the game if we stays a while without playing it.

It's still gambling, if someone including yourself or your friends has recorded your activities and report it to the police, you and your friends would going to jail.So only us (friends knows what we are doing and that there is a stake in the gaming). Breaking the laws is not a solution, you must not gamble as part of your lifestyle. This is just to find a way in doing what pleases you so that you don't feel your government deprives you from what was ought to be obtainable to the society or amongst you and friends. Dude, you're among people who breaks the government rules, how come you can give him an advice here?Manipulation is a trick and not an official resolution. You need to do self reflection and introspection first, it's to know if you've did what you said or you're just trying to be cool in front of people.

So yeah, it's fun when things are associated with money or betting, especially with friends.

So yeah, it's fun when things are associated with money or betting, especially with friends. This is very similar to what some friends on the street do, it turns out that there is a man who is always on the street and always asks for money from anyone, from anyone, so given these things what I can intuit about him is that he always He's looking for a way to make money , so he devised a game with a board and some beer caps, and he makes bets. It's a very good game, I think they have to land as close as possible to something he has painted and he's going to He starts playing all the liquor stores and he wins them all, or I know how he does it, but he's very good at playing that game, and I really don't know how he does it, but he's a star at it, that's how he played it. with friends, but he always wins, so that's his way of gambling and making bets , he bets himself because with what he bets out there on the street he decides, to bet, honestly it's an Activity that I don't know how or where he's seen, but I think he Practiced a lot to play.This is the only way that this person has to bet and it is not a game that can be found in a casino, but out of nowhere he pulled out that Board, those plates and it is the one that falls closest but that touches the board, these things are what Many people without having a casino or something like that can think of how to have fun, it is clear that on the street there are Many ways to have fun , even if it is With a few glasses and hiding a coin, they also do it like this, and they bet very hard, therefore I am one of those who think that these types of games are for Entertainment and at the same time to bet a lot of money, I don't know what the trick will be for them but it is something that they can generate different ways to generate a lot of fun, money, that is. what they do for a living on some occasions, so every time we are on the street these types of people can Show up for us to play and bet on, but the truth is that I think they are very experts at doing it.

Then we throw balls and whoever hits the target first gets the money. Most especially if they lose in the game and felt really bad. In situations like this where gambling is heavily restricted, I'd rather choose to solo play and I want to make sure that even my own family won't see me doing my thing, as they can be cruel sometimes. Anyways, I still like the idea you guys did. It's nice to know that our creativity can come out on tough times like this but it would be better if we apply the same thing in something that are more useful or important.

In my country gambling is an illegal activity, my country prohibits gambling. However, I don't need to do anything special to be able to gamble, now is the era of online gambling sites so that anyone can hide their gambling activities. What I need to do is gamble in my private space and not do it in public Many of my friends don't know that I also gamble. Only a few of my close friends know that I gamble. Moreover, after finding out about crypto gambling sites, I can be more comfortable in gambling because it is not connected to my bank account |
