Gambling: Culture

[suvo05]

Have you ever wonder why even there are a lot of negative things gambling bought, it still doesnt leave us ? Is that so, gambling has been a part of our culture , even you have plenty or not. Rich people often socialize in the form of casino, while the poor are contented on country games with lower bets. I, as a person living on a third world country, witnessed how gambling form our culture. Town celebrations or "fiesta" are not complete without low cost gambling houses called "perya" where you can bet starting from almost $.02 and above. Every corner of the street has some kids playing coin games and even a wake makes its company awake using card games. Weird isnt it? How about in your country?

My country have one of the oldest culture, and yes gambling is one of the part of it. Dice is a game which was very much popular, and that can found in the ancient scripture as well. But in the present situation government has strictly prohibited any kind of gambling.So gambling is now a illegal activity here, thus you can't find any kind of land based casino in the whole country.

People do not understand that if you have a control on yourself  then you can gamble because after certain point if you losing you will quit but majority of them do not have that control and thus ruin their life by keep losing and then borrowing from other or go in a big debt of gambling.

I remember 3 years ago I lost about $100 playing that Card thing in "perya" I was winning at first and was so happy and got greedy so what happened was I visit the perya every night to play that game and then losses keep coming. I was eager to win back the money so I bet and bet and lose more. I was able to control myself though after realizing that I already lose a lot. The next year after that one I was near in the perya again, I wanted to watch the game and try to bet little amount but told myself not to because I know what will happen next.. Learned my lesson the hard way  

One of the reasons why we do keep on coming back into these kind of places which called perya is on which we do really like to feel the ambiance of having lots of people who do play gambling in the same time.Just like on casinos too but this place is way more non-formal but yet more enjoyable since you can able to place minimal bets.Even though we are just talking about small time gambling but anytime it can really make you broke if you spend too much.

Been part of out tradition on some countries which it isn't really complete if we don't see those things specially on occasions like "fiestas" where those kind of small scale gambling do exist.I do see some countries which do prohibit this but I do see most of the them do really allow this thing since it just really for the purpose of entertainment for those people who do visit or stroll into that area.

Even it is prohibited, there are exceptions when it comes into being used in it, I know that some "perya" were only allowed if that municipality permitted them, same in some wakes. Maybe it just depends on how strict the implementation since as long as people can do it without being arrested, then their fun continues.

This is why gambling can be considered to be part of the culture into those countries or places that doesn't implement too much restriction when it comes to gambling.Yes, there are really exceptions when it comes to some circumstances.If you are living on a place where gambling is illegal then you cant really see these kind of gambling places because there would really be punishment once being caught up.

It is the same in my country, what ever the event is, there is always this gambling.  I think this was been added to at least entertain audience.  Though our government does not allow street gambling, they were excused if there is fiesta or occasion around.  So I guess yes, gambling had been rooted in our country's culture too.

Honestly, It is true that the popularity of gambling has evolved over time and it has become a culture in many countries. As well, I see that many feel happy when they playing at the casino and online games, even if they lose their money.
Actually, the culture of gambling is not so prevalent in my country, just the majority of gamblers is playing in sports betting especially the field of Football. and it is unfortunate that the real casinos are very few  .

Ofcourse gambling is a part of a culture, there are huge museums about Texas Holde'm poker in the USA.
I can say that gambling has been a strong part of the culture of some cards, for an example we can see the USA, that has a large city that is being driven by gambling only, Las Vegas wouldn't exist if gambling was disallowed, same goes for cities like Monaco.

Gambling was started to take a place long years ago, and our whole life is being impacted by this, it's really ironic that even after thousends of years we are unable to decide whether gambling is good or not, or shall we accept it or not.

[Dreamchaser21]

In some places its already part of a culture, gambling works for them well because they become more happy at a low cost but if you do this as your habit since everywhere you can find people gambling then you are in risk. For its a culture yes, but it doesn’t mean you will do it everyday the decision is still yours do the right thing.

I'd say there is a gambling culture in every country, some countries like to bet on soccer and some for basketball. And other countries like the Philippines, cock fighting is a big thing. It changes drastically with every culture and it depends on history. There are even games that are so weird to us that we don't even know they exist. Just by searching the internet about weird gambling games you'll see that there are so many kinds of gambling games aside from the casinos we all know and love.

Gambling is everywhere it can also be consider as culture but you must not forget about the negative impact of that. Culture is something like we live ever since and gambling is one of that thing. For me this is kind of bad habit because many people are now broke because of this game that can make you more greedy.

this is a culture, when the country legalizes gambling there, the country will give birth to many gamblers, and for that it will be very profitable to build a gambling company in your country very much different from my country, the prohibition for gambling is very tight, and many gambling sites which is blocked from my country server, but still many gamblers in my country using various ways to access the gambling

[Juggy777]

I wasn't aware there was something like a gambling culture but now that it's been pointed out I agree yes that's true. Well in my country we love going to casino on every occasion, card games are popular for a friends socialising. You can say the well to do people love spending time in casino, as they live to compete with each other as to who can outbid oneself. Then there're those who can't go to casino they prefer playing poker at home in close circles. I feel this culture been in existence since ages.

So i think that gambling is everywhere. It is played in almost all parts of the world. Even those people who have no knowledge and live far behind times play this game. Actually, it is as old as the human race itself. The reason can be money. No one in this world is unaware of money and gambling is one way for many people to make money. Those people who find it difficult to do work go for such evil. Some also find fun and relief in it too.

I feel that there is gambling culture in every country of the world because gambling play is regular in every country of the world, but in some countries there are fewer countries but gambling is played in every country as I have seen in my country that my country men have little children with little money. This is fro  after the game started, it gradually became a kind of addiction, so that they kept playing in different clubs and continued to play this gambling, if they were forbidden from their families to stop playing this gambling, they would have their family Neither did they continue to play gambling ,

So I want to say that culture will bring a nation and the people of the country to the top of the development, but if the culture destroys the country and the country's youth, I do not think that culture can be in any country,

I think the word "perya" is very familiar with me here our country. Yes, you can bet at a low price using our fiat coins. They have may feature game at a "perya" playing cards, rolling a ball to the numbers, playing dice wood with colors and the most games that I like to gamble is tossing coins to bet a big amount of fiat. But all of these games are base on luck game.

Of course who will be not familiar with the word "perya" as this is common in when there is a "fiesta" in the Philippines. But our culture of gambling really came from different influencers or shall I say colonizers. The word perya came from the Spanish word "feria". Anyways, as I have said, its already a tradition an part of our culture.

We gradually graduated from "perya" to "casino's, and from the usual card games around the corner like "pusoy" or "tong-its" to "poker". Well in my case, that's how I evolved and up to now I'm still into gambling but in different forms now. lol.

i think your statement about gambling in every houses of street are almost same herein my location, but this kind of gamling are illegal the governmnet not allowed to play gambling in the street specially the cards games this is punishable by the law herein my location.

[tabas]

Gambling is part of the culture since then and the same thing with others to each countries. Rich people and not actual rich people but they do have enough money to gamble are socializing through that way. While the rest are gambling for the sake of money and profit.

I think the word "perya" is very familiar with me here our country.

It's like a carnival with games that you can bet.
