The Latest Game in my Country: Bottle Flip

[Die_empty]

This is a domestic game and it makes no sense to bet your money on such game, it's just for fun and believe me anyone can easily get good at it, you don't want to bet money on such game, even my little cousin can throw 20 times and win it 20 times, I do believe this topic is better in off-topic than gambling.

You can bet on any game. Any activity can be used for gambling and I have seen people bet on this game. The game is not as easy as you think and the rules can be changed to make it difficult. Like the level of the water can be reduced or increased. The surface the bottle will land on can be altered to make it difficult to win.

How is this topic related to gambling or gambling discussion? This is off-topic.

On local gambling sites, I do not see any gambling like this. On crypto gambling sites, there is nothing like this. This is just to make fun and nothing more. This is not about gambling except people that will use it to bet among themselves.

OP included that some people bet on this game, which means it is a form of gambling. Not seeing it on any crypto gambling site doesn't also disqualify it as gambling. Casinos can adopt new gambling games they think is okay. This thread can serve as a source of ideas for some game developers or casinos. My only reservation for this game is that it can encourage underage gambling.

Bottle Flip

This game is not a new game in the world but the game is renouncing back and people are playing the game everywhere in my country. The good part of it is that, it is not only children that play the game and also adult both boys and girls playing the game to while time. There there are sometimes they bet with money to play the game, There are sometimes I also followed them to play while sometimes I stand andook them playing. The game is really fun and interested and children are playing it to forget their home labour at home. African Children with outside game, African Children Game Time.

What is the lastest game that is paying by both children and adults in your country? As I said Bottle Flipping game the lastest in my country.

Simply proves that any game could be a form of gambling as long as money is involved or even a consequence of the outcome. Not the latest but as I grew up, I saw different activities such as cockfighting, spider-fighting, horse-racing, and the likes. Even with outcomes of an event such as winner of a tournament nd pageants to give you an example. Almost everything could be gambled for; it only takes two or more parties having different point of views or contrast belief of a certain topic. Gambling is not limited to money alone. As I've said it is about the consequence wherein you could earn something and lose something, depending on the outcome.

[Aikidoka]

here are several games that children and even adults play in my country and they often involve making bets on them. So far, I haven't seen anyone playing bottle flip games here but there are definitely other games like playing with small rocks or just card games in my country.

I find the bottle flip game to be so fun to be honest. I would like to try it with someone and see if I'm skillful at it or not. It's obviously not purely based on luck, but rather on skills.

[Casdinyard]

I know there's some gaming elements to it but lol to take it to the gambling world is just a new extreme for me. It was a massive phenomena too back in 2016 and it was all the rage on the Internet. Had some of my close friend groups actually play it in between classes and we'd link it with the "here come dat boi" meme as well for kicks. Ahh those were the times.

I'm not sure if this game will ever take the traction it once has in the past but if it does, this could mean big for people, but since there's strategy involved in this game rather than blind luck I think it fits the sports glove better than a gambling game, since people who are pro at this could just eat the whole class in one go for some situations.

[Wexnident]

This looks like it's a game of luck, but no it isn't. Anybody who has tried it out would know and realize that after a few flips, you would be able to determine how strong you should start out to make it so that the bottle flips properly the way you want it to. Maybe if it was randomized with varying levels of weight and only like, two, three tries (with no practice), then it could become a possible game suitable for gambling, but eh, I don't really think it would gain traction as a gambling game. Might work on a small group though, since it is kind of fun once you get into it.

I'm not sure how moderators would handle it, but since he included real money in the game, it's somehow okay? That would be the decision of the mods.

Initially, I was thinking of this as an application game where you could bet real money and just in the 50/50 chances or something. Like coins, where there are only heads or tails. It's probably more complicated than that, but it's a start.

As long this do mentions about money or having that involvement about wagers or something then it would really be considered gambling but its true that lets see on how moderators do see this stuff whether it would really be that relevant into this board or not, but for me then it is really just considerable since we are talking gambling on here. Speaking about that bottle flipping then i have seen tons of this in youtube even those young kids
do really make out such trick and there were even more harder versions of this. I dont really see this to have that 50/50 chance knowing that this could really be learned up and the odds of making that bottle stands is high and making out some betting in between other people wont really be giving out that fair bets because you do sure that you could really be able to stand that bottle or make it fall.Does depend on who would be the ones to flip and who would be the ones that will be making out such bet. It is really hard to be applied because if you do deal up with someone who could make out control of the bottle his flippin then it would be a disadvantage, unless if the rules would be definitely be having that changing up those bottles and the different amount of liquid inside of it then it would really be considerable or something that should be fair.

Please, include a video link of people playing bottle flip, so those who don't know the play can understand how it works.

It is not hard at all and I can see it on many YouTube short videos. Do not mind that, I watch YouTube and I hardly watch TikTok.

You will pour water in a bottle up to one quarter (not glass bottle but unbreakable bottle). The more you continue to pour the water the harder will be the chance the bottle will be able to stand if you flip it. Then you will be flipping the bottle until it stands and not fall.

On YouTube or TikTok, just search for flipping bottle challenge and you will see many of the games.

Is there any different between glass and breakable bottle? It is plastic bottle and the way Oshosondy explain is correct. You pour water inside the bottle for like one inch and fllp the bottle and make sure that the bottle stand and not to fall. The players can use money or only for fun. It is interesting game.

Before it was cup stacking that made a buzz in the world of children games, they even made a tournament for that game on who is the fastest and now this, bottle flip. Yes, I have seen this a lot of times on Youtubers, Tiktokers, and other vloggers. It's a type of game that  had been making a fuzz in the social media department. But truly this ain't a new game anymore. It had been done by a lot of kids ever since bottled water was invented.
Now, I don't how this can be injected in a gambling site because I doubt they will but yes if two guys needs to break a tie this could be a helpful game.
Betting on who will flip it first could also be one scenario. I think the hardest one is flipping it upside down, standing with the bottle cap on the floor.

The game is really interesting. When looking at people playing it, it might look childish, but when you start playing it, that’s when you will see the interesting aspect. I do try the game with my friends sometimes when we meet just to have fun, and seriously, it’s really interesting. People do gamble with different things when flipping a bottle. Most people don’t really use money to gamble, they use crazy things like food and other things. Food might be prepared, and anyone who flips the bottle and the bottle stand will be allowed to eat a particular portion of the food prepared. Seriously, the game is interesting, and it’s been played by both young people and adults, rich and poor, even celebrities play it just for fun.

So, bottle flipping has resurrected in your nation, and you're enamored by it? Fascinating. It's the simplistic games that have the power to captivate, isn't it? Yet, I must say, intertwining a child's game with betting is a step too far. And adults are leading this parade, exploiting an innocent pastime for financial gain

In my region? The current rage? Does it even matter when we witness such alarming blurring of boundaries elsewhere? It's paramount to recognize the potential pitfalls of these harmless endeavors. Yes, enjoy the game, but remain vigilant against its potential misuse!

[Webetcoins]

I've been seeing a lot of videos on platforms like TikTok and YouTube regarding this game, but they don't make any bets, most of them just have a bunch of food on a table in front of them and there are a bunch of people taking turns trying to flip the bottle and whoever does it successfully starts eating the food until someone else flips the bottle successfully and takes the charge in eating, lol. It's fun to watch and it must be fun to play as well but I have no personal experience with it.

I'm not sure how one can bet real money using this game, but I'm thinking maybe there will be a round of 3 or something where whoever does 2 flips first wins the money while there can only be two people playing for this. If there are more than two, there should be some other way around it.

[Slow death]

in the last few months I have seen this game a lot, but in the videos that I could see, people bet on food, so even if the game involved betting and and that is a game that does not bring, 100% guaranteed victory, even so putting it in a casino for that people bet on it would hardly have customers, by that I mean the following: this is a game for fun, even if people bet money it would not be considered a game of chance because its difficulty level is very low, people who participate in this game easily manage to dominate the game to the point of being able to hit consecutively, but there is another way in which this same game could enter the sports betting category

for example, if we place two people to play this game, then we place betting markets for this event, we could place the market to bet on which of the two will win; then we could put the market on how long it will take to have a winner and in how many rounds we would have a winner, doing that would already be considered a game of chance and yes it could even be listed in some casino. with that, when there was an event of this type, the bettor could watch videos of the games of each challenger and analyze the skills of each challenger

and then he would choose which challenger he thinks will win the game, in my opinion this is the only way to look at this game as a game of chance and also the only way to see it being added to a bookmaker, for now it seems to me that nobody thought about it and seeing that this is something that has been around for years so I suppose nobody is interested in taking it seriously to the point of making it in the bookmakers, so we will look at it as just a game with the purpose of fun without financial compensation

Every games which involve a competition or challenge among different players is possible to be gambled. If bottle flip is an interesting and addictive play, I'm sure many people are going to have disposal to bet on it, however it has to become more popular first. Personally, it's the first time I'm hearing about it. I have never seen people around playing bottle flip on my country. Here people are more into soccer most of the time.

Here is one example of bottle flipping they are so popular on social media that it can be done by families and your circle of friends, in this case, there is no money involved because the video will be flagged by Facebook if there's money involved because it can be reported as gambling which is a violation on Facebook's terms, and these friends are having fun and what at stake is the chance to take a bite on the food that is on the table.

There are many variations of this game like drinking your favorite drink If you flip it correctly sometimes you get a penalty like a slap of a pie in the face, It is fun, and it's a good way to have fun with friends which is why it become viral.

Some gamblers will do the mistake by using the basic needs money in to casino.They often forget the fact the casino had both victory or loss option.If they win,their family will had good food for the extra period of time.But if the betting money was loss in the casino it leads to the no food.Which is harder one compared to food for longer period.If you have enough money for the basic needs,then you can choose the game for the entertainment.Some people join the small bet game to avoid of big loss at the initial stage.

well, people need to find an entertainment so they need to be creative when it comes to finding such game. but yes, this simple game can turn to a lucrative one if people will be betting big money. so long they are not harming anyone, no problem with this game. it will be good also when it comes forming camaraderie among youngsters.

This is just a children play and not a real gambling. Bottle Flipping is just a game of fun which children and any interest led adult can us e it to pass time and not for any gambling. Though in the process of having the fun, money can be use to challenge each to know who is perfect in the flipping. And whenever bottle flipping game is played people use to stay behind and watch who is the best flipper. And nothing more.

Therefore we should not take all fun games as gambling.

Bottle flipping is widely accepted as a children's game but that's currently not the case at the moment as a lot of adults now play the game not just for the fun of the game but for the gambling purposes. I've seen group of adults who converges to stake money and whoever flips the bottle and sees it stand straight wins the round. It's been adopted by many adults here as it isn't a new gambling method again.

Yes it is, as the bottle flip game is for children. I believe that it has nothing to do with gambling. Gambling is for adults and also for people above the age of 18 (18+). In this case, I still agree that the game is for fun, just like other gamblers here are still saying it is for fun also.
Since the children don't have the money to go to any casinos or a gambling center to have fun, they just use the bottle flip game to keep themselves company.

[passwordnow]

If it's a gambling game and even if it is for children, it's better that whoever organizes this game in those areas shouldn't allow kids to gamble. Yes, don't allow them to gamble because it can be their practice as they grow old and it will be brought onto their practice and it's hard to remove when that happens. They should be allowed to play the game of flipping the bottle but when you guys know that there's betting involved, you should discourage the kids not to do it anymore because that's something else and it's more than a game. Any amount shouldn't be tolerated and even if we are gamblers and we advocate to gamble only what they can afford to lose, they're still kids and we should stop them as soon as possible that we start to know them that they're doing it with a bet. Because you'll never know what type of attitude it will bring to them when they start enjoying the game with some bets and they don't have money to bet for. It is going to be like a requirement to them to gamble with bets and what if they don't have money to bet? Where they are going to get that? From their parents? or worst, do something that we don't like just for them to have money to bet for.
