The Latest Game in my Country: Bottle Flip

[pinggoki]

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

This topic seems kind of fishy to me, how sure is OP that this bottle flipping craze is all over the country? Because I feel like this game is just too mundane to be a craze in the gambling scene in a country not to mention that it's a pretty simple game that you can easily win if you have the skill to consistently do a flip and besides what you've said, it's a step too far but if we're given more context about this game maybe we will see why this is the thing that's making craze all over OP's country.

It's pretty dull if the kids play in binary and win the pot. They play it differently in groups, you'll see it on social media where the ones who could make the bottle stand, will have the opportunity to eat the tray of food and he'd have to stop whenever someone got it right for its someone else turn.

Its just for fun, not really for gambling but I think they could as well just share a pot for the winner.

Could you explain what it is, OP? Is it about throwing the bottle and having it land on its feet? Or catching it in your hand? What kind of bets are usually involved? As it is a game that looks like a street game I imagine it will be low stakes.

My explanation of how the flip bottle game is being played. Is about throwing the canned bottled water up and allowing it to stand on its feet. The bets are usually on low stakes. People don't stake much on it because it can be played for hours in a stretch without stopping.

Staking with low money is what people who are into it do. Kids are the ones that play it most. I wonder how a grown-up would want to play such a game. Grown-ups playing it should be for fun, nothing again.

Full explanation of how the bottle flip is been played
The bottle flip game is being played by throwing up the canned bottle for it to stand erect(as displayed in the post), if the canned bottle stands erect, you win but if it falls, you lose.

You flip the canned bottle up and your opponent flips theirs(with the same canned bottle). If you flip and it fails, you give it to your opponent to flip theirs. If you flip and the canned bottle stands, you win.

To declare you as a winner of the flip bottle game will depend on how many times, you and your opponent would agree to have the canned bottle stand erect at a stretch. It can be 2 to 6 times, depending on how you and your opponent choose it.

To be able to achieve that, the canned bottle should have some water in it(as displayed). I hope you have understood it fully since the OP hasn't explained it to you yet

Thank for your full explanation of the bottle flip game. It is a very simple to understand but it is not easy to play and win as some commented the game is fishy and so on. Well it was the game of the season in which people were playing to pass time. Some were even saying that it is not a gambling game but I will not argue with anyone but the gamblers used money to bet on the game and anyone who stand the bottle then is the winner of the game so I see it as a gambling game.

In my country there is also a game like this but I have never seen anyone betting on a game like this. Usually we play this when we are hanging out with friends and the loser will be given a certain challenge or drink 1 glass of water, usually we prepare 1 gallon of water to drink per glass if we lose. It's a fun game

In my country, gambling is an illegal activity so no one connects real gaming with betting. So this game is just entertainment and fun

[len01]

this seems like just a game but if it is used for betting in your country there is actually nothing wrong with it and I remember in a thread telling about the madness of gamblers who bet on unnatural things like betting on how many times a frog croaks etc. and this bottle flip game is one that gamblers can use to bet, but it is one of the unnatural bets, meaning that not everyone or all gamblers place bets on this game.

[Kelward]

If I want to place this bottle flipping in gambling, because of bet that is involved, I'll have to categorize it in sports bet, because the game requires practice and the players can become professionals in it. It's definitely different from casino games that doesn't require any special skills to play.

I've seen kids flipping plastic bottles that are half filled with sand, in my area. This is an innocent game that kids play to pass time and have fun, now adults might turn it to gambling. But who am I to complain, after all football that kids play in the neighborhood for fun is also a professional game that adults bet millions to predict the outcome of matches.

Yes, that's right, as long as it's fun, I don't think there's any problem with games like bottle flipping because it's no different from the coin flip game because it's often played by many people like where I live, there are even lots of strange games that we've never heard of. Every time a certain village and country appears in public, perhaps this game of flipping the bottle is very natural to play.

A lot of what we see is bottle flip gambling on social media, usually they don't bet money but bet with others, for example who wins, they drink and so on, that's how gambling doesn't always exist in online or offline casinos because everything has the potential to become gambling if we want it even with just guessing the sound of a frog can be gambling.

This is also popular game here in my country but I haven't seen people using real money to bet but what works here is that they put foods on the table and if the bottle stands still you are allowed to eat. Flipping bottle that bets with real money is for me quiet fun and it looks like cara y cruz.

[Gozie51]

Although this is just a pastime game which is purely for fun, who knows in the future if this could be introduced more formally in a competition or a tournament and betting sites would release odds and fans could bet on their favorite players?

You can bet on it for money or other benefits just like other gambling game. I have seen some people in relationship playing the game and even couples and they would bet to rip off their clothes one after the other. There are some videos on Facebook or YouTube on it. So it could also be turned into a tournament game.

Whenever I see games like bags or cornhole, I'm reminded that any game which is fair and requires a certain amount of skill or practice could indeed become some kind of sport.

This game is fair enough and may not be manipulated. It modus of play is understood by both party. It is just to flip the plastic container and for it to stand back on its bottom and if it doesn't it means it is a lose. So it is fair enough to understand and bet on.

In fact, I'd like to see bottle flip introduced as a popular competitive game than that butt slapping contest.

There is possiblity for that, it only requires creativity to properly organise the game and make it rules more detailed.

Each country definitely has unique bets that don't exist in other countries, so if we find these unique bets, we will feel strange because we have never found them anywhere else. This is normal, especially if we have never traveled to other places where people still make traditional bets, so it will seem unusual to us. Apart from that game, there may be other local games that are also related to gambling, so this will add to the list of local gambling games that are still often played by local people. They can also still enjoy the game with their friends so that local gambling games will not be erased over time.

Some games are like that. They came out, got popular, disappear, and luckily made a come back. One of it is this game we are talking about here. Some games are age dependent and will be better if they remain like that because they have some disadvantages.

For this game here, I see no disadvantages, so it's fine if all ages can get involved with it. It's better if kids can get involved in it because it helps them to exercise and build some good skills, as we know kids nowadays ( they are mainly expose to radiation ) caused by the gadgets and they only slack at one place/positions. IDK if what is the latest game in my country right now. All I can see is kids are only playing with their iPads and mobile phones which is sad to see. .

Flipping the bottle is more of an interesting game in my own place and most occasions their will be a food set aside or a gift for who ever their bottle is flipped and it is standing will get a price or pick a chicken. And hearing now that they use it for gambling am surprised. But it is going to be interesting and I could not stop laughing after I saw the part you said people bet on how many times a frog croaks, anything can be be gamble on and I noticed that as far as they find joy in what they are doing then I don't think  that should be a problem. Gambling is sweet but should not go beyond, then it becomes bad. I would have love to flipp if I will win.

Agreed, I only saw this game play by influencers and on some party event but never saw one with bet although everything can be use as gambling if it’s involved luck and skills at the same time.

Track field is now common gambling games here in my area which people bet on a runner that run on the street with a given time. I will not be surprised if some country use this game for gambling purposes since my country use other odd games just to gamble.

[CryptSafe]

I really do not see this as a professional game but just a street game which is mostly done by the street dwellers just to catch fun as it is a random type of game.  Although I have seen many celebrities do this in my country for fun online via their social media handles to entertain their fans and followers strictly for fun and it is done with some little kind of rewards for putting the object upright till another contender flips it upward correct but I  have not really seen anywhere money was put in play as a reward for getting it to flipped correctly or have you seen anywhere or have you heard of any before.

or maybe what OP has experienced or knows about is the first time seeing betting on this bottle flipping game whereas what I know is that this is just a game that has been around for a long time, even in various countries they already know about this game, its just that its probably very rarely used for betting and OP might surprised by such a novelty

yes, that how a real gambler (not an addict) will gamble on something that they think is interesting to bet on and gives them a pleasant sensation, having fun with their friends and I am sure you've experienced betting on a unique game like this, even just once.

[oktana]

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.

Let’s remember that gambling comes with the unknown outcome that may or may not favour you. This game is just about the same. On TikTok, I’ve seen people play the game and it always has a price (but you’ll lose nothing other than losing your turn). But OP has mentioned that they actually bet real money which means someone has the potential to lose their money or win money, hence, it falls under the gambling discussion.

It really depends how one plays this game. If people are only playing for fun (as most of children do), then we cannot say that it is gambling. However, if two or more parties, bet on the bottle flip game, and put money on the game, then of course it will fall under gambling.

Anyways, you find such games available for betting on gambling sites as there are no international tournaments for such games where people can watch and bet on them. These are locally played games among individuals and in many parts of the world, many people won't even know about it.

There are many types of local games played by people, maybe it is one of them that maybe other people have seen on social media and also used for betting, but unfortunately this local game is not included in online gambling even though there is something similar that I saw was the coin flip game because There are coin flip games on certain gambling sites and this bottle flip is not yet available in online gambling.

Don't expect that gambling with local games can be added to online gambling, especially since there are tournaments for their games because not everyone likes them even though there aren't many. That's the reason why online gambling doesn't add such local games, but as I said, only local games like that. coin flip in online gambling compared to the bottle flip game.
