Earlier this week I visited a golf club, while I was playing my regular golf with a small stake amount, some big guys in the club got my attention. I don’t know who they are but a suspect they are government officials or big business executives. They were playing against each other but the bet is not the regular cash but properties somewhere betting with they expensive car such as Lamborghini and Ferrari while the game was about to end with a guy losing his Lamborghini I draw close to him and asked why will you do such a risky bet, and he said the game is for legends and only opened to VIP members of the club. So I was curious about this. Have you heard such thing as the game of legends?

Nope. Golf sport is known to be a sport for rich men. I suppose you are one of them, Tiger.
Rich men do what they do I guess as long as they are entertained. Rich men like real estate tycoons or known CEOs of an investment firm are legendary guys, was this supposed to be the game of this kind of rich VIP gamblers?

In my opinion golf is a high-class sport, so there are very few gamblers who bet on golf games compared to soccer betting or other sports betting, I personally, frankly don't have enough knowledge to bet on golf, so it's better for me not to try to bet on those sports and it is better to focus on betting on sports that are indeed more common like football.

Golf is known as the sport of the rich where they sometimes play this game for their relaxation. I often see it in the movie but as I never know they bet something huge for it. I don't know if you telling the truth but I never thought someone is confident enough to bet on his expensive car just for the sake of entertainment. Maybe this guy is one of those people who doesn't value money the day they were born because base on this story, they don't really care about losing it just like that.

There is not far different in casino houses when some gamblers trying to bet outside the table about their luxurious things specially when the game is getting hotter .

I remember a time before the Corona Virus comes as we are in famous casino here, there are some elite gambler that having this dealing outside the table .so yeah this is a Legendary gaming and have just applied in Golf or other gaming.
well this is still gambling so they may applying huge betting or at least this is part of their life style as rich .

I'm not surprised they made such big bets like you mentioned a Ferrari or two even though the apartment was at stake, I know the stigma of golf from the past and for decades they have been embedded with luxury and expensive models, I'm not surprised they make a bet for a Ferrari or a mercedes benz.

I have a friend, he is a member (Monas Golf Club) that's the name of the Golf Club in my country, I often talk about the game of Golf with him, but I'm not involved in the Club, it's a bit strange to me, they often do tournaments as you mentioned the bet doesn't make sense to me, he once told me that golf course rental for one game can be up to $ 200 / member, some more than that depending on the golf course, it's only for rent, imagine for them to place a bet I don't imagine anymore.

They also often hold gatherings and also social services, I also see that they are indeed respected high-ranking officials or legends in my country, the point is: Such bets have become a tradition for them, wealth is not the only thing that is considered for them, only the pleasure they seek, that is the world, easy to get and easy to get out.

I never heard any of them unless in the movie ;D

Golf is a sport for rich people and I am not surprised if the prize is an expensive car such as Lamborghini and Ferrari since the rich people do not think much about those cars. It is usual to see rich people use a high bet in a single game and they are okay losing that expensive thing because they are still rich with many of the income sources they have.

Never heard of it but probably the meaning of legends are them, those golf players that are betting as much as they can coming to the point that they can bet with almost everything they have. Just as what you've mentioned, properties, luxury cars.
And who knows what are the other bets that they can put at stake if they come to a crucial situation.

I am a member of a golf club, but we don’t bet on any. Rather, we play against other teams and also have a tournament once a year and the team that wins will be given a price. Golf is for the rich and mostly those rich guys can bet on several properties, ranging from house documents and expensive jewelry such as gold.

Never heard came from the millionaires and biliionaires because I'm not the one with them but this kind of thing is just normal to them spending with gambling like this is just quite normal money does not matter to them it's all about the guts to win and being arrogant because the number of assets they have. I just experience having friends getting a bet to win in a particular discussion the same thing with them its just a friendly gamble no hard feelings and just for entertainment for both of them. As you see in casinos too some of the gamblers bet their houses, cars and other stuff.

Nah, it's not a game of legends or whatever, it's just a typical "non-standard" bet and just like "non-standard" trade when you can trade anything, let's say, motorbike for BTC, etc., you can also bet any items as long as your opponent agree. What made it legendary is that they risk a lambo. There's no such thing as "game of legends."

If it's done by a government official with his business partner, I suspect it's a form of bribe. The business partner willingly loses to give a nice car to the corrupt official.

Those are simply just the games of those who are rich of the rich. Legends? Well you can certainly count them as one though I don't think there's a need to say or label them as such since really, it's just gambling but with stakes that are pretty high, and instead of liquid assets, they're mostly done with properties and assets and the like. Not really anything rare really, it's just that the majority of the people most gamblers actually interact with are those who play on casinos and the like. Not that I actually know much when golfing tbh, never had the interest in it, but it does look like a game mostly played by the rich.

Haven't personally heard about Betting luxury cars, but I've always heard about betting mainstream cars in poker.
But I'm not gonna agree with the word game of "legends".
Golf is a game for the richest, but betting luxury cars isn't as expensive as the billionaires think. .
If you take a look at Dubai, there are a lot of rich people who owns lambo. Even the police patrol is a lambo.
So, I guess that's not even the most expensive bet you've ever witnessed personally.

I do not understand much about golf because of the inaccessibility of the game to ordinary mortals, but I am not surprised that the bets of rich people are expensive car brands, because only this kind of bets can cause excitement from the game. As I understand it, betting $100 or $1000 makes no sense to them because their time is worth much more than the money.

How can you even get close to them if they are betting high end cars or real estate? I bet their bodyguards should not even let you near 2-3 meters.
Sound like just a story created by you in my opinion.
But regarding the game of legends as you call them, or we could just say game of rich people, yes it could happen.
It's normal for them and they have really nothing to do with their money. It's like they are just toys for them compared to average people who are trying to get to that point with blood and sweat. Golf is known to be the game of rich people so it's not that shocking anymore.

They just coined it for exclusivity, golf is a game for rich people, club membership ranges from thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars here in our country, tycoon and government officials love to play golf this is where they strike the big deals, these huge bets are nothing to tycoon and millionaires, they can afford it, they play very different from average gamblers, here in our country there are a lot of fo golff course and it's where tycoons and millionaires meet to unwind and do business.

They are rich people, they have expensive things and these gamblers like to bet whatever is valuable to them, but that does not make them poor because they are already rich. It's not known to the public but we know rich people love to do weird things because they can do whatever they want on their money.

To be part of the club, there should be a qualification, and betting for them is just for fun IMO.

This is part of the lifestyle of the rich and famous, what we all thought as fortunes to us are just a fraction of what they are making, this so-called game for legends are exclusive for them, they should have named it games for rich people, it's hard to imagine what they are betting the highest I've bet was $200 to a boxing match and I can't sleep for a week because I lose on my bet, but to these people, Lamborghini and Ferrari seem nothing to them.
I can't understand how they can afford to lose Lamborghini and Ferrari just like that, maybe I can if I am very rich too.

Are you sure that when the man said "the game is for legends" he means they are playing a game called game of legends? I have not heard of it but I think he is not literal when he said they are playing a game for legends. Perhaps he was just referring to themselves, the rich players, as legends and they are playing regular golf games. They are probably claiming themselves to be legends because they are good at it and they are betting expensive properties.

I wouldn't be too surprised if the officials lost a luxury car or two, after all, they will be gambling again at the appointed time. Because this includes gambling that can only be done by the rich, it is not surprising that people say this is for legend gambling. This activity does not only take place once. Keep in mind that high-ranking officials have different portions when it comes to betting. This is shown when they lose luxury possessions, the next day he will come with the same two cars to stake back.

Totally agree with this one but it doesn't have to be that way because if golf can be played by everyone, it's just that it's an needlessly expensive sport.

Sad reality. Most of the government official usually stealing a lot of money from people then waste it on there personal pleasure. This is common on most country and golf club is usually there favorite spot although it was known for rich people sport only, They don't care or have shame even though people are making bad comments against them due to there wrong doings.

This "Game of legends" is probably a special game invented by the VIP member of your club although I'm not so sure of about it but no one will gonna bet luxurious property to a person you didn't trust since there is no written contract binding both players to really give the bet to the winner. Only mutual trust is what they holding so I'm sure this is not a general event on golf club.

why do they call it game of legends?

couldnit be that these are sons of rich guys and doesn't have cash with them and just bet whatever is valuable they have that day? if they have their wives along, its possible that  theyd bet their wives for a night too as long as they agree.

It sounds like the guy is just messing with you and used a different term for high stakes golf since they're risking luxury items like it's nothing for them.

If they can bet with high value cars with no hesitation then that just means these cars are like a couple of dollars from their point of view.

Betting anything they have that night is possible but wives is just too extreme even to the taste of those people, I think only the uber rich will consider that since their wives is just a trophy that they flaunt in public.

These people are considered legends on how they bet with their Lamborghini and Ferrari, in our country we call people legendary if they can do what average people cannot do, average people cannot bet with Lamborghini and Ferrari, even if average people work their whole life he cannot buy Lamborghini and Ferrari, these rich people have a different habit in betting, and no wonder golf is considered a luxury sport because only rich people can play it.

i was just fooling. no one bet their wives of course.

but i've witness motorcyles they own was being the prize after the two brats drag race in the middle of the night. along the coastal road in the city where i live is where 711 store where motorcyle enthusiasts gather for nightout. sometimes they held race in the middle of the night when they know there are no cops around.

Not only a sad reality but at the same time a reality that is greatly exaggerated, like their world with all the glamorous life. Form a VIP group consisting only of those who have a gambling hobby. The sound of glass clinking at parties, behind it all there is only the hypocrisy of corrupt officials. Even in some countries, showing off the results of gambling is not good etiquette for government officials, when we are busy with the economy after the pandemic, can only last a day or two for a sip of rice.

Those are big and rich players and huge bets are just nothing to them. I've heard about politicians doing this kind of gambling and it isn't surprising because they could easily make money from our taxes. That's a sad reality that we have to accept that while others are continuously paying taxes despite the poverty, rich people are getting richer through corruption and still have the courage to waste their funds in gambling.

Why it is called the game of legend is because it is only open to the VIP members of the club, and most of the guys coming here are not young. The youngest will be in their late 50s. And business executives and not some random young forks looking to cash fun.

These are excentric rich guys who don't have anywhere else to put their money so they play in a extravagant way or they are just trying to impress each other and people around like you.

Officially there isn't anything like Game of Legends, but of course every socities have their VIP clubs or groups which have as one of their activities the waste and ostentation of money and goods.

This story kind of reminded me of GTA Vice City for some reason. :D

I guess what that guy meant is that those kinds of betting are only made by "legends" (they are calling themselves legends over here) and people that are "elite" (rich and has access to the VIP club) are the legends. It's just a regular betting made between them. They were either joking about betting their cars, or they are so rich that they don't even care if they lose the bet. Golf is for everyone. Those are just some rich people having fun by betting their cars. Nothing else.

It all sounds like some strange lie you've concocted. However such betting definitely does take place among the super rich, it is unlikely you would ever be in earshot in the same exclusive clubs that they would be playing in. To a billionaire or even just someone who owns tens of millions of dollars, it is easily perceivable that they would be betting such items on a round - to them it is the financial equivalent of betting $500 to someone on a $50k salary, yes it has a little sting to it but over time they will easily recoup their losses and makes the game a bit more interesting. However, such people are playing in very exclusive golf clubs and will be far at the back of the members club rooms inside when discussing such things.

Golf gambling is not always synonymous with officials or the bets of the rich. That's just the smallest part. We can also just bet like that and do it with our gambling friends if we really want to gamble. I think these officials only like Golf because they only master the game. Oh by the way Golf betting is not available in online casino?

Golf in and of itself is already a game for the rich and the VIP. If you are able to come elbow to elbow with these guys I suppose you are rich too. I don't suppose this "game of legends" you're talking about is a bona fide tourney set only for the richest guys but a small consensus between these people where they can bet whatever they want, hence why it's a VIP game. you wouldn't want someone you barely know losing a yacht over a bad game of golf, which is why it's exclusive only to this particular group of people. Lmao I would agree with you but I chose to give him the benefit of the doubt. We can't say for sure if this story is real or not anyway so let's just ride in it. Indeed it's true that there are games where the stakes are this high, as long as they have the balls to join and put their prized possessions in line and of course the money to back it all up. Golf is already a sport for the rich so I don't see this scenario being too far from the truth

Maybe he do mean about being Legends literally which simply means into those people who are on the VIP which means that when it comes to gambling they are legends on the name aside on being vip they are
ones who do have much money to risk on and even go to the point that they are betting their assets or properties which is something that isnt surprising with these activity specially
a gold club does compose of rich people which if you are just a regular gambler and seeing those kind of bets then that would really be a shocker and thats how rich people
do make out bets.

yes I heard it somewhere but its not about a golf game but it was from a video game .
The reason it was called called game of legends because the players are professional and high skilled  .
not a fan of golf and I didn't knew that players are betting from each other because I thought they only play for fun but I'm aware that majority of the golf players are rich people so you not need to worry if they loose Thier car , property or something else because they probably going to earn it again effortlessly .

I wouldn't be surprised to be honest. Golf is a game for rich folks, and they can certainly afford to bet properties, cars, or millions of dollars in cash in one go. If you were able to play golf on a club that they also play in, this only means that you are living the high life, or at least above average for most people. You would know that these crazy bets occur quite commonly, which is why it is somewhat common to see a rich person go broke in just a few years due to extravagant and crazy bets and losing it all.

Golf is for rich people and I’m pretty sure that kind of Bet is normal to them and most of the golf player can really afford to have such bet.

I wonder how you will able to talk to them considering that they are VIPs and its very rare that you know they are betting for something for fun. This is actually a normal activities for those people, and for sure they can bet more if they are going to play on casinos.

This is something I saw in the movies... golf club... rich people... and all their internal challenges!

Game of Legends! I bet this is like any other promotion, who wagers most will have a special title, and bonuses that come with that, and I can bet that those bonuses can be insanely amazing! Of course, it's just for club members, and I can only imagine how many similar clubs there are around the world... probably a zillion! A ticket for those clubs is expensive probably, but it comes with privileges!

In the end, gambling with high stakes is nothing new, people do it since ever! And of course, there are places for those people, for most of us out from the reach definitely, it's something we can see on TV or read in papers!

Wondering on why OP is on that place..Does it mean that he's rich? :) You cant access those places if you are not one of them or you wont be there unless if you are just some sort of being bodyguard or secretary or something like that.Cant really be denied that golf sports is something for rich people and its no surprise that they would really able to make bets which is really unusual for us ordinary people.
They have the money that can be spent on which basically means they can bet out their assets or properties too if they do like to.
There are lots of people who can really make bets like that but only into those vip or exclusive groups.

Do you really think that rich people play golf in the presence of bodyguards? I think it's enough for all of them to have a caddy by their side to carry a bag of clubs. There are a lot of rich people in the world who don't think about bodyguards at all because their funds are out of reach of intruders.

Golf clubs are always open to all and as a member of the club you have access to all the sections in the club but you can only play the game base on your class membership, am not a bodyguard but a member of the club, not a VIP member anyway. Hope this answers your question.

This is my first time of knowing about this "Game of legends" i believe what ever the risk down they can actually afford to lose. since the are government official it definitely mean if the lose what ever the stake down it would be easier for them to replace them back. This said officials are atually gambling based on their ability

This is true and he might think off that there would be some sort of special venue for those vip's but well its an open space and its just normal that you could hear off those chit-chats about making out bets
which isnt something common that you could hear off everyday.

Some rich men are also former gamblers who have won big prizes at casinos, poker tournaments, national lottery, etc. Those guys are maybe some of them. Gambling addiction doesn't fade away when you win jackpots and big prizes, then if they were gambling addicts before becoming rich they certainly still are.

I don't know if your story is true or just making a thing to discuss. In the middle of heavy gambling with big resources at stake, you should stay away from them and asking things you didn't understand. That's a gambling protocol. You are not even a close friend of that person that about to lose his Lamborghini.

How come you just ask them simply why they are doing such a bet. I think you just based that story on a movie lol.
