Have you & friends thought of engaging on any unfamiliar activity for gambling

[EluguHcman]

Has gambling been set illegal in your place and due to how much you and friends love to gamble, you would just think of a unique activity that you can play even in the public and people would never suspect it that there is stake placed in the game?
This thought came to me after remembering some of the pasts that the cards, cheers, dice and the rest of the skill-based games has ruined people in the street on the cost of gambling.
The authorities took it upon themselves going after the gamblers to put the situation of the ruined lives to an end.

So I and some friends creatively brought about drawing a circle ⭕ and agrees that whoever throws stone and gets into the circle without touching its line is the winner of the game.
So only us (friends knows what we are doing and that there is a stake in the gaming).

Gambling is legal in my country and in the town that I am. In countries that gambling is not legal, there are hidden places that gamblers are gambling. Also there are still ways that gamblers go online to gamble. But I do not know how they do that because gambling is legal in my country with both local and foreign gambling sites that are available.

Some people will want to have fun with gambling but your government do not let people of your country to have freedom that some people will want. Some people will be gambling in your country and that is just it. While some people will prefer to use foreign gambling sites.

I can not have the fun to gamble with friends because I will not want to gamble with them like this. I prefer we should be together and gamble on a gambling site. But if your friends agree to that, it is not a bad idea. But avoid making it big in a way that other people will not be coming.

[Frankolala]

I and my friends way back have gambled in so many ways that no one will know that we are gambling only if there was disagreement that led to making of noise. I could remember we bet more on football games. This is because when I was young, I love playing football a lot, and I also have friends that loves playing football. In the evening we meet on the field and play football, which became part of our daily routine.

We will place bets on the game we are playing, and nobody will know that it is not just exercise but a bet is at stake. Another one we do is, betting with a friend or anyone that feels he is a good goalkeeper. We play five balls, and both of you will agree on how many goals to score, for you to win the bet. I and my friends have also gone somewhere to have fun, and we saw two people playing table tennis, after much observation we decided to bet on the two guys playing the game within ourselves, unknown to them. It was all fun then, sounds crazy right.

[ARTOIS]

Yes, all forms of gambling are prohibited in my country, as strict laws have been put in place that punish gamblers with imprisonment
But as you said, there is always a solution, and if you are doing something bad, the important thing is that people do not see you and there is no one to tell  off, and this applies to gambling with my friends.
We buy small rubber balls and assign a small amount of money for each ball. We meet in the alley and place a different color ball a few meters away from us.
Then we throw balls and whoever hits the target first gets the money.

I never came into that situation where go decide to gamble at whatever cost even if its illegal on our country since I don't want to violate the law regarding unto this matter. If government say that they don't allow any activity then would follow since don't want to face any consequences just for the short time of fun.
But luckily gambling is allowed on our country that's why we can participate on anywhere we want and that's why I'm here discussing about gambling and also the opinion regarding on any discussion related to this.

Also don't do weird things just to have things to gamble since usually I play on classic games or other that I can see on offline or online casino.

[uneng]

Yes, sometimes I played cards at home, with family members, putting money at stake. It was nothing serious, and no considerable sums of money were wagered, rather it was just an initiative to add some extra fun and excitement to the game.

Sometimes we also played Bingo, which is a kind of Keno, but played manually, and you can't choose which numbers you want, just the card with determined numbers printed on it already. I had the Bingo machine and cards, so I worked like the casino on this game, selling the cards and sharing 80%-90% of the total sum of money collected as the prize for the winner, and keeping 20%-10% for myself. Who completed a line on the card won the round. Sometimes we played full card rounds, so it was more expensive, as was the final prize too.

We often did such activities in the past and even at some times with different types of games making bets hidden only from us knowing about them. However, for now the type of online gambling for me and several friends may be increasingly private and can no longer be shown in public. Because in our region gambling activities are considered illegal and the impression in the eyes of the public is really bad to say the least. Therefore, if you want to play around a little, you need confirmation so that people around you don't find out. For example when we watch a football match while watching, we place bets outside the stadium, watching as usual but after the match is over and we complete the bet according to the agreement.

When it comes to gambling which comes naturally to us, imagination is the limit, anything can be thought of I have a friend like that who always bets on everything that he comes across, the mind is imaginative even if you are in a country where gambling is illegal you and your friends will always find something to bet, all forms and kinds of gambling was created because of the creativeness of mind.

The game that you and your friends played is already being played in our country, but we're using coins instead of stones, so many gaming and gambling  platforms are also think of games that they can present to their players because gamblers love to see new games, if there are new games in a casino it will attract a lot of players.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Gambling is legal in my country, so nobody pretends they are not gambling in order not to get caught. Everyone is gambling freely in the open space, and those who love street gambling are there too, doing so many activities that represent gambling in more unique ways. 

Most of the street gamblers in my country have so many activities that they are doing that, before you can play, you will have to stake some money. Now in the street games in my country, there is something like a crash. They designed something like a hurdle, and if you want to stake in the game, you will pick a stone and throw it in that hurdle, and it will start to move. It will keep moving until you decide to stop it and take any amount that you won, or you will allow it to crash. I know I can't describe this very well, but it was really unique the way it was done. 

There's another unique street game too, where the organizer will place some bottles of wine and the players (the gamblers) will have to buy a circle object, which they will throw at the bottled wines. If they are lucky and throw the circlike object and it clamps the bottle without it falling, the player has won that wine. 

OP, you are right that some people can actually come up with different ideas to gamble without anyone knowing. In my country, it's done openly, and you might not even be aware that gambling with real money is what is going on there.

It sounds weird to gamble with friends. And if anyone wins, we give them the money staked. I would feel that it is better to loan them the money or gift them the money than doing this. The point here is that gambling with strangers in the context the OP puts it is better and more preferrable than gambling with friends.

AFAIK, the authorities have not been able to successfully regulate gambling talk more of illegal gambling rings. These illegal gambling rings operate like a circus. They change location from time to time if the authorities bothers them so much.

I am not in support of this idea. It will lead to a huge misunderstanding among you people and can even end the friendship.

[criptoevangelista]

It's very creative to create your own game, I liked the idea... It's a very particular thing, but isn't there an interest in bringing in new players? because always playing with the same people over time can get pretty boring... How are you going to bring in new players without attracting attention?

It's not an unfamiliar kind of gambling we have this kind of game that is very similar to what you're friends are playing and this is where inside the circle there are coins and the participants try to hit these coins with another coin, so what you thought of is a unique are likely to be popular in other games you can think of anything when it comes to gambling because people can bet on anything and everything although some of it are weird ideas but gamblers can easily understand it because gamblers understand one another they speak the same language and their minds are in sync.
We have a saying birds of the same flock together, so gamblers can easily understand new games in gambling.

        -   Casinos are legal here in our country. whether online or offline, but nowadays it is too rampantly promoted on Facebook by influencers, whether it is well-known or in the middle stage of popularity. The promotion is not getting better because many underage Facebook users are seeing casino ads on this platform.

Although there is no problem if adults gamble, it's just that when the underage or minor children who are seen on the Facebook platform feel sorry for themselves, it's good that the children see it in reality.

[ethereumhunter]

I will not do that if gambling is prohibit in my country in the public area. That can makes me in danger because the authorities will check and investigate it and they will gives punishment to us. If I want to playing gambling with my friends, we will use quiet place so no one will know what we are doing. That will safe me from the authorities and other people so we can playing gambling without a problems. We don't know if people will  not suspicious with what we do in the public area but I guess some people will attract to our activity and will ask what we do. They will report it to the authorities if they found us playing gambling and that's the trouble begin.

[piebeyb]

Actually in my country gambling is also very illegal but we are still safe playing gambling behind closed doors and not in public, there are many games that are not usually played to trick anyone because most law enforcers only know about gambling with dice and other things, so sometimes we gamble with different ways, for example, prepare an old bottle and we try to insert a plastic bracelet to throw into the bottle until the bracelet goes into the bottle then he will be the winner. I'm sure this game is also often shown in entertainment games.

But that's how we play gambling, we don't have to use cards or dice like common gambling and which is usually used by people who like to gamble, but that's how we always have a way where we gamble with something that is unusual and impossible to use so it works for us. play, although maybe sometimes the gambling we do is just for entertainment, not for anything serious, so every time someone wins, they are obliged to treat us to a meal, so not all of the betting money is won by the winner but is used to eat with friends. BTW, the games you play with your friends are also very creative.

Memories.... You just reminded me how my sisters are her friends would always play this game both in school and at home too. They enjoy this game do much, they also did it like a competition and friends would have to pick whom they think can win. They always had all the good fun in that game but  they don't play it as gambling by staking money. In my country, it's mostly females that play such game. If it were men they're going to introduce money to it.

[Z390]

What do you mean by unfamiliar? I have some friends that I just met online through online gaming and we took it upon ourselves to start risking some money on the games.

Like, the first person to kill 4 enemies in the game without dying will have $5 worth of PlayStation gift card, we do this few times playing Warzone 2 multiplayer and it's so much fun, and also more challenging.

There are far away from my and nobody will ever know that we gambled, unless I say it out myself, I mostly don't keep friends very close, I like been all by myself, it could be different if friends are living closer by but online gaming fixed this even better.

[Text]

Yes, my friends and I used to engage in unfamiliar gambling activities during our childhood days when smartphones and the internet were not yet popular, and life was not as complicated back then.

OP mentioned that they used a circle for their drawing, while we used a square, and we used marbles as our projectiles for the coins. We would determine who goes first based on proximity to a drawn line, and from that line, we would take turns throwing coins into the square. If you successfully flipped a coin from heads to tails or vice versa, or if you managed to get any coins to go outside the square, those coins would be yours.

Gambling in house hold or anywhere outside the license casino is illegal in my country. There’s still some people in my neighborhood that playing secretly card game in their houses but it’s already very rare occasion unlike before when the law for house hold gambling is not implemented.

So any form of gambling here is prohibited because there’s already a lot of backyard gamblers here that face jail time.

Why does you and your friend need to gamble just to have fun secretly instead of playing game without money involved if the goal is just to get entertainment. Just play to online casino to gamble safe. There’s a chance that you will still bust when someone caught you handling already your bets.

[danherbias07]

That's actually an old game but you just made it different by drawing a circle.
Most of the time old people will do this gambling game when they are on the streets. Whoever coin will be the nearest on the "line" will win. Line, not a circle.
Many people know that's one way to gamble fast and I bet some police will find it out, especially the seniors.
This is the game when you have 3 or more players on the streets but if only two are playing then they just play the coin flip heads or tails.

We played this game back when I was still a kid but we didn't use money as a bet. We stake rubber Marvel toys and there was even a time we only stake bottle caps and we are happy with it.
Still, you have to be careful if you are betting for money. There might be eyes in your vicinity that would tell the authority about what you are doing and if you are caught in the camera while paying then I bet they will have the evidence against you.
