Street Gambling Risk

[yahoo62278]

You put yourself in a bad situation when you don't gamble in a controlled environment. Could get robbed, shot, stabbed, or just plain killed if you beat the wrong person. I wouldn't ever want to put my life at risk to make a few bets. Rather go to dinner with my wife or something.

Spreading awareness is what at least we can do to help others, if ever you're watching some street games and you feel something's up call some authorities already because you might catch fire as well.

You already answered your own question but I agree with the awareness part, it's better to help others that don't know the potential risks they'll get from regularly gambling on the street.

I think that we can not confidently say that absolutely all street gambling is dangerous or unfair, as each individual case should be considered individually.

That's true but it still doesn't hurt to be cautious since all it takes is one unfortunate encounter to put your life in danger.

I would not advise people to gamble on the streets because the risks are bigger than they can imagine. It's better to play gambling in safe and comfortable places and so far, they have been playing at offline casinos around them. That will give them pleasure and also a sense of security against any acts of violence that could happen to them.

We know that street life is very harsh so if you play gambling in a street casino, there are chances of cases of violence against you. So protect yourself from such things and look for safe casinos.

As long as we play gambling in street casinos that are owned by people in power, security will be guaranteed because at least there are several people who are always watching and responsible for all the security of the casino visitors.
After all, in a street casino, if we don't cause trouble or create a problem first, it's unlikely that there will be a commotion or even violence against us.
But it seems that in this era many people are aware of technological developments so they prefer to play in online casinos or crypto casinos because it is more efficient and easier when playing gambling.
In crypto casinos we can also play at any time without having to leave the house so that we are more protected from unwanted actions such as fights or violence.

The problem with street gambling is that what reigns is the law of the jungle. There are no guarantees, it's a wild environment. If even aware about that you are fine with the possibility of getting yourself into serious trouble, who am I to say to you to not go ahead?

Personally I think it's too exhausting and annoying. Something that was supposed to be funny and enjoyable becomes stressful, as instead of worrying about the game, you will be worried about hostile people around can do against you.

And since nowadays we have online gambling, which ensures safety and legitimacy, I see no reason why an individual would appeal to street gambling, taking all its risks.

[bitbollo]

it's really easy to understand what are these risks
Just one point, this kind of gambling most of the times is NOT legal, hence without any type of guarantee or safeness for people gambling with it.
I would avoid like the plague in case of complaints I would not argue with anyone

[Fiatless]

I wouldn't recommend street gambling to anyone. You never can tell you it is that you're betting against which means your life could be at risk and also since there's no way for you to hide your identity that could also lead to the risk of you being followed back to your place and later getting robbed. If you look closely you will see that the people that usually engage in street gambling are either thugs or people that takes hard drugs ( at least that's how it is in my country ).
And because the risk is just too high I won't even consider going anywhere near it.

You are very correct bro. Street gambling has a bad reputation worldwide. It is associated with gangstars and criminals. There is no decency in it at all. I will not recommend anybody to be a street gambler. Law enforcement officers always burst these gambling areas to arrest these gamblers because they are seen a nuisance. No responsible person would be in the street gambling because their is high risk of attack or crime that might emerge from these games. It is more honourable to go to a house casino that is well organized and secured  because I have seen people die because of fights that broke out because of street gambling. Online gambling seems to be the best for me.

[bittraffic]

But which country is this?
I don't usually hear riot stories or news due to gambling disputes, maybe it's not on the news all the time but it could be true when one person's loss means skipping a meal. That would really be a very compromising situation.

Street gambling is very often in carnivals though. Somehow I don't see fights happening.

   Does it prove that street gambling is not safe? Yes, it might but it all depends on the players. Will u play your bet with people you know are no good? No right? Maybe we can't really say until it happens but how about the chance that you can get yourself harmed, I'm not saying that don't play street games or don't bet on street gambling what I'm saying is please do choose who you play with wisely.

I will never gamble on the street,this will expose you to all sort of dangers and you will be vulnerable to attacks from hoodlums and the police. When I was young along my street,there is where gamblers do gamble,rolling dice most times. Everyday there is always one problem or the other and people had to report to the police because some was shot dead after he loss his bet and he claimed that the winner cheated. The risk is higher than the fun,therefore street gambling doesn't worth it.

If you are soft and not used to the street life, avoid street gambling. Street gambling attracts some kind of people in the society, sometimes criminals or people with uncontrolled behavior. And because street gambling is done in an environment that is unsecured, anything can just happen, you can be robbed and beaten, and nothing will happen. So unless you can handle these rough irresponsible individuals that street gambling attracts and avoid being intimidated by them, avoid street gambling.

[darewaller]

I always pass by if I see that there is something like street gambling on the way, firstly, this place always attracts the attention of all kinds of scammers, and secondly, even if you win, it will be quite difficult for you to safely leave the place of the game, so it's better to stay away from it. After all, the organizers of this kind of gambling rely on income in any scenario, so such a risk is not justified.

You didn't get curious or what? Do not know bout you but for me, I think I will just watch how others play even if I am not placing my own bet because I found it entertaining. If ever I will be tempted I will just play with smaller amounts because I know that my win chance will only be slim and another thing is like you said, how can I get out safely with this place?

But, I guess we are just too paranoid. Pretty sure that nothing bad will happen to us once we win big amounts there, most especially if you have a company with you. Just don't go on quiet places after, especially if it was night time already as someone might be planning to rob you there.

Before I say anything I will have to use my self as an illustration, I joined gambling from the street and I was about to end up as an addict but I have to restrict my self from passing through the area were people do gambled, in this case I see street gambling is very bad because people get more habituated to gambling on the street and lot of street gamblers are now addicted to it, street gambling can take ones live and that's the high of it all. So I say this because I didn't see street gambling as a good metier.
Online gambling is a bit good, because you can restrict your browser from anything gambling

Agreed, Those who operate street gambling usually prefer places that are unsafe for the general public. Moreover, there are various types of people traveling there. There is no way to know who is good and bad. There is a high risk of accidents. So if there is any such opportunity to conduct gambling in an unfamiliar place then it must be avoided. Because accidents don't happen every day. If something happens one day it may not be recovered. I think there is no need to take any risk in Street Gambling.

If it's seen to be not okay on that particular then it should just be relocated somewhere else where it seems safe for those who really likes it. But if I've already heard that there are those incidents like harming the bettors, why would I still go?

My protection and safety is my priority and even if I like to gamble any moment, I'm making myself aware of the situation and it shouldn't be like that.

If you're aware of the dangers that it has, why still proceed? It's like you're looking for some fault for yourself to do with.

To be honest, i have no experience with what you are telling in this thread. because in my place, there is no street gambling. but armed with the knowledge that I got from various information, be it friends, newspapers, even the media. gave me a little illustration, that the risks of street gambling are extreme.

Whatever is available in street gambling, can harm us. either as a spectator, or as a doer. that's why, the better choice to visit safer gambling. like land-based casinos for example, at least the atmosphere inside legal land-based casinos is different from that of street gambling. for sure, we will be given the best possible service as guests. so it is clear, that street gambling is very unsafe and it is not recommended to visit it. in fact, now we have been offered by online gambling. which is safer, more practical and easier to access without having to travel. so why should we choose the more dangerous risk, if one offers safer gambling.

exactly! why would you risk your safety with this kind of gambling? now, that there are online casinos, much better to play on them rather than get involve in physical gambling in random streets where you don't know if you will get alive or not after winning a not so huge amount. this is why some prefer to do their gambling online, and be discreet with their activities. so long you know what you're doing, no one will know about your activities.

Is street gambling safe?

   Actually, this is an easy one and it all depends on the place and who you play with. Almost all of the streets here have people piling up to bet on games like blackjack, lucky nine, and baccarat. Fights actually broke out since the place where the games take place is only on the streets where there is actually no authorities like security guards or moderator for the games. One of my friends actually gets hospitalized because of his winning and he got on one of his opponent's heads after the game, his opponent and his companions hit him on his face with a baseball bat.

Street game is one of the interesting games . It is lively, as the name implies, Street Game, it is where you will meet rough guys but all you have to do is just be careful, as you are playing once you notice in suspicious movement or activities from the opponent players, you have to stop your side of the game and leave the place immediately. Those fights that always happens on the street games are also making it more interesting. From my side of the gaming, street game is more saver than casino hall games.

Is street gambling safe?

In most countries, street gambling is illegal, so the answer is definitely not safe.  The risk of participating in street gambling is as stated by @OP, plus the possibility of being caught and jailed.  There are lots of cases in my place where street gambling are often raided by the police and the gambler caught, even the bystander were fined or jailed if they failed to pay.  

Aside from that prying eyes might target the winner of the gambling games and rob him of his winnings.  There are also cases like these that sometimes happen and appeared in daily newspapers.  

[Casdinyard]

Regardless of if street gambling is dangerous or not on the account that you might get shivved after bagging a win or looking at your opponent the wrong way, there's no denying that there will still be people who will be into that kind of thing. To them, no risk is great enough to stop them, heck they are already taking risks gambling out in the open with the shadiest people you will find in the hood, might as well risk your safety as well to put the cherry on top right?

in any case, it's wrong and illegal and unsafe and untrustworthy yes, but there's money to be made in these games and where there's money, people will flock into it no matter how shady or crazy the premise is.

The worst thing that could happen to a gambler is to lose your fund and also have yourself harmed, because just as you just describe how risky street gambling is in your location, I will likely say it's the same everywhere, which is why I won't encourage anybody now in this current modern age where a gambler can gamble freely on his mobile device than to go about playing street gambling. After all, by virtue, if you happen to win big in the public (street), you stand to be a potential target for both arm robbers, simply because they saw you winning that money.

So instead of gambling on the street, we have many reputable casinos on this forum that offer such games, such as (blackjack, lucky nine, and baccarat)

I know that there are people who's up to with journey and thrill but I wouldn't come this far to put myself into a dangerous hood and there's money that can be seen in the public.

Life is tough, places, people and everything could be at their worst when they're at their baddest time. You'll never know that the people that you trust or random people in those places could be with you at all times or could do something else eventually for the sake of money.

We've got online gambling which is more comfortable and if you want to go to gamble places, just go those registered casinos where you're safe physically.
