Traditional gambling style without a casino

[Pandu Geddon]

I like to play this game but not involving any bets whether it's money or cigarettes, only the punishment that must be done by the losing player. Once in a while I experience what you said by seeing a group of people playing the game involving bets, the bet is money where there is an amount of money determined by each player and for the winner he gets it all. I admit this game is fun, I myself like traditional games like this.
As far as I know, this kind of game can be played with a minimum of 4 people because I always play this game with three of my friends sitting in a circle. However, I think not all countries may play this game as gambling, some may prefer to do it in a physical casino.

Such games are commonly played by people in the village. although using bets but if it is not shown and does not arouse the curiosity of others, adding some money or cigarettes as a bet is not a problem.
I often play this kind of direct game with people in my environment. I am quite comfortable with this game because everyone will bet in small amounts. no one will intentionally bring large amounts of money to play. Games like this are clearly just for fun. gathering with friends to play cards while some others play chess. that usually happens in my environment.

I have spend a lot of time of my youth/university years playing Texas holdem poker (not regularly, but probably on Fridays after lessons). The buy-in were almost symbolic and such gambling was more a time killer than a try to get some money, or to show skills over opponents. Of course we played it incorrectly, because here was no rake. If I remember it clear, not everyone was 18 years old around the table. But that did not bother nor player, no parents, because we better play cards at home, than wander around the street doing nothing.

It's also a better way to kill some time when you are with your friends or relatives, such kind of bonding which usually use to enjoy not intentionally to win money but a pride that you are good in such types of gambling, though there are rural place where people wanted to use this types of direct gambling as form of multiplying their money, a kind of mindset where gambler usually look for someone who have that same thinking and play against each other.

The other day I was playing in the middle village at night, and saw a group of old people gathered at a night watch post, they were playing cards, I thought they were not gambling, just playing cards, but the longer I was there it turned out that they were gambling, with the losing bet having to give the winner 3 packs of cigarettes, after a while they got bored and raised the bet using money, this is one form of gambling that I have not tried in the real world with the traditional style, I then joined in the game, it seems more exciting in experiences like this.

Have you ever tried something like this and gambled without a casino?

Someone is doing that here in our country, where the players only play in a subdivision house and sometimes in some provinces as well. If I look at them at first glance, it looks like they are just playing cards for fun, but it turns out that they are playing poker as a game with bets.

There are also people in other countries who play like that even if it's not in the casino itself, because what I was used to before was the ones I could only watch in the mainstream media, like billiards events and sports games.

That is happen in my place in a few days ago whereas we gather in one friend's house and spend time together. One of my friends suggest us to playing cards for fun, without money because we don't want police comes to his house
But sometimes I see some people playing card with money in the dark place in my neighborhood when all people take a rest in their house. They doing that with only a few people know but they don't do anything except just passing by the street.
People in my neighborhood doesn't thinks much about them because as long as they don't disturbs other people who passes by at that street, that will not be a problem. But if they do something such as asking for money from people, that will be a problem for them.

Of course! We get together with friends several times a year for a barbecue and always play card games for several hours, the stakes are very symbolic, sometimes we can play for a wish, the loser must do something stupid. The goal of such games is to have a good time and so that no one is left offended, because we do not play for large sums on such evenings, friendship is more important.

That must surely create an ambience and add that extra flavour to your event and make it all the more delightful!The gaffs and jokes especially during hearty card games as well as small stakes which people place for dares can actually open everyone up and create friendships. Perhaps it is also time to come up with an altogether new card game or alter the laid down card game rules in order to spice up a conventional trend. If there are other game ideas that you like, well they can actually amalgamate the betting and challenge concepts. The important thing to consider here is that all may get to enjoy and have a good time to party well without these parties feeling oppressive to some.

Yeah, man. My family and friends love card games too. We have even staked money when playing old maid lol -- don't ask at what age did we start doing this lmao. I remember my late dad would bet with his friends whenever they watch some sports as well.

Ultimately, there is a social aspect that makes it extra fun. Fortunately, it did not become dangerous for us but maybe because we only do it with people close to us at the comfort of our homes. Worse that could happen is someone killing the vibe e.g. being sulky or salty af.

I remember when I was a kid we played a card game at home with my dad and brother, some kind of Blackjack, and we also played for money, it was more like entertainment, because every time someone won the whole pot, we again divided all the money equally and the game started again. And even though I was a kid, even then I noticed that it was much more interesting to play this way than just playing with game chips, which have no value.

This type of gambling is very common in my country among the youth and elderly men. It's fun to play, but one thing about it is that most of the time arguments can easily come out within, which could escalate to a serious conflict.
 

I find this traditional gambling so interesting and fun you know and it's been played within my domain and people reciprocate based on the fact that money is betted on that so the winner goes with it and there's no fun play without arguments that's what makes it more interesting, just as you watch football matches and argue with your opponent teams that's how it is for this as well.

So it's not like this causes or birth up to violence issues in the society but yes definitely such games usually amount to that but it needs understanding and this is why when it's been played it's required that it's matured minds so there's no cause for regret and disagreement.
I also Love this  game as I played it back then while growing up, sometimes we don't stake with anything but the fun of becoming a winner as the game processes on will give you more  joy.

Yes, it is a game that I often find in the area where I live, often residents, especially those who are on guard at the security post, play poker card games with a joyful atmosphere, but actually not all of these games are played involving money, some are just aimed at filling time with the aim of finding entertainment together. From this game I think there are some negative sides that can happen, especially when the card game is played involving money as a bet, where I often see some people fighting because they always lose and the friend next to them is very lucky by winning in a row in several rounds.

So the conclusion is that even though the traditional card game without a casino looks exciting, it certainly does not mean that it is impossible for unwanted things to happen, especially when the game involves money, meaning whatever type of game and even though there is no casino intermediary behind it, self-acceptance regarding the risk must be prepared by someone who plays, simply if you don't want to lose any money at all, it's better not to participate in the game from the start and it's better for you to be a spectator than to mess everything up.

The casino thing is a recent experience in gambling. It used to be the old traditional way with people gathering around to play cards or other traditional games at their leisure time. Any gambler who's as old as 40 years would possibility had played one of such games in their neighbourhood because those games used to be the in-thing in the 1980s/90s. We still find them till date in remote places without much exposure to the internet or civilization.

I enjoyed playing Whot. Ludo was (is) a bore for me. My best was draughts. This day, casinos have made gambling easier and closer home to such a point that one can indulge in them without leaving the comfort of one's home. Without the internet, the world would still be groping in the dark.

When I was still young and I was in school, that was the last time that I played bet like this. Seriously, it’s really a nice one, you will have time to joke with friends, and the main target of placing the bet is not because of money, just because of the fun. Seriously, the traditional gambling is just more interesting than the gambling that we have currently, and it’s just difficult to get addicted to that kind of gambling because everyone is being cautioned when placing bet, and anyone going beyond the limit is always being asked to stop or to reduce the amount that they want to place the bet with.

though there are rural place where people wanted to use this types of direct gambling as form of multiplying their money, a kind of mindset where gambler usually look for someone who have that same thinking and play against each other.

Bets like this are just common in rural areas, some people still prefer this kind of bet to online gambling sites because they believe they can have real fun from it since they are betting with people they see, and they do end up talking among themselves.

Love game time like this and it always turn out great when I try it with my friends and family but they are not having time to have fun like this again because of work and how everybody have outgrown quality time being spent together. They now have their own families and prefer to spend time with them instead of making out time to bring the gang together to have fun. The world is changing, covid changed everything, online gambling becoming more popular and preferred than traditional casino and game night like this. We enjoy this more when we were younger and then you did not mind if you lose because you know, the next time you will have a chance to do better. I was always the one that do not win the most but still I do not lose the most therefore I was just in-between and enjoyed myself all round.

We do the same, whenever our friends get together, we either play card games or board games such as chess or another game that is famous in our locality which is called ludo, it's a board game again which is played between 4 people. It's very fun and addictive as well when you play it with your friends.

When we play card games, we don't play casino or betting games, there are different card games that we play with cards where we use a copy and a pen to keep counts, there are teams of two and a total of 4 players playing, whoever scores more, wins the game, but there is no money involved. Those who play card games making bets have separate places because where I live, gambling is not allowed, so they can get in trouble if authorities come to know about it.
