Traditional gambling style without a casino

[Casdinyard]

The other day I was playing in the middle village at night, and saw a group of old people gathered at a night watch post, they were playing cards, I thought they were not gambling, just playing cards, but the longer I was there it turned out that they were gambling, with the losing bet having to give the winner 3 packs of cigarettes, after a while they got bored and raised the bet using money, this is one form of gambling that I have not tried in the real world with the traditional style, I then joined in the game, it seems more exciting in experiences like this.

With the way you're talking about P2P gambling you'll sound like your brain's gonna be blown after you got told that gambling started like this. No such things as casinos back in the days, just two or more people taking it up to chance to find out who's going to eat today or not. Then casinos came in trying to take advantage of this premise with the added promise that they'd try to make sure that no one's trying to cheat the other, which is a big problem with P2P gambling.

Not here to tell you about the history of gambling, the fact of the matter is that I just want you to realize that this is the reality of most things, people gambling by themselves amongst themselves, without ever having to set foot inside a casino. This is what gambling is really like at the microscopic level.

The important one is whether you had won or loss the money,because the winning never give you huge excitement.But the losing of money will give you more sad at the end.For this reason many of the gamblers get away from the gambling,when the loss give the happiness.The gamblers should have the maturity of accepting the money loss in the gambling site.The gambling is always ultimate one,because the gamblers who won the big money will use the money for  satisfying all their desire from long.Do you understand why the cigarettes bet was changed to the money betting,because for the more excitement towards the gambling.

To the majority of gamblers in my country, casino is probably one of the least of options. Other than the fact that casinos are limited, it is quite inconvenient for gamblers to travel just to gamble. And then there's also the restricted outfit, the need to bring bigger amounts of money, and so on. I'm referring to brick-and-mortar casinos of course.

As far as gambling on card games are concerned, many prefer to play in private, in their houses. That is illegal, of course, but that isn't a big deal as it isn't a gambling operation that's run by a company or a gambling lord.

Definitely there are alot of traditional gambling games which people usually participate and play for fun, and also makes alot of money from it without the casino. They are very numerous, as a matter of fact most of this local traditional games has been in existence for long before online casino was discovered, it's like online casino is rebranding of traditional gambling. it is always exciting when you go to the local vicinity and see group of men playing game when gatherd and cracks funny joke while still playing their games, it gives so much joy. For me I have played such games countless times but sincerely not for gambling but just for fun.

Not only I tried card games, I only tried to play with care y cruz, "tanching" ( a game where the gambled money is put in a drawn square on the ground where players have to use a "pamato" to hit the money and move it out from the drawn square.  If the money is successfully moved out of the square, it will be his.)

It is really fun to play a gambling games without a casino because it is an interactive game where skilled is used to have advantage against the opponent.

This is very common in some countries, wherein players are going to gathered at night and then they will play until the early mornings. When I was a little boy I will always witnessed this with my mom, her nephews and nieces playing card games and they seems to be very happy that time even thought at one point, someone is going to lose money in the end.

And when I did grow up, started to play with them as well for fun. And then with neighboring friends, those were the days though. Just bring back memories to me and probably it influenced me to be a gambler,  .

This is very common in our country, especially in the town where I grew up.
I saw a lot of people getting addicted to this kind of gambling. Mostly you can see people playing this at the burial of someone who died, every night. Some people spending too much to play here, losing too much amount of money and some are winning too much also.

To share with you lots, it is much more widespread with gambling on the street and can be done here in my hometown in many ways, such as through card games, sports betting, cockfights, billiards, or through some informal pools for betting. These gambling practices had became our socialization and had been our tradition, so to say. Well, I don't have much personal experience with this sort of gambling, for I've always watched them and liked the results. Surely these games can be very fun and relaxing depending on their circumstances and personal values, but, as I've said a thousand times, gambling itself is a likely possibility to bring financial consequences, and always runs the risk of making it addictive, so it's better to limit it.

Any person that has gambled at some point during their lives has tried gambling this way, as even if they prefer to gamble at their favorite casino, at the same time there is nothing like playing against your friends and beat them.

So not only there is an economic incentive to gamble this way, but the bragging rights you can get, especially if you have a great night, are incredible, to the point I know a lot of people that prefer to gamble this way and not give their hard-earned money to casinos.

Nothing new about this kind of gambling because it exist since a long time ago, it's fun, but it's not good in the long run. Usually people who play this games are either poor or low middle class people, once they get close with you, they would ask a money from you and they not improving your life to be better.

You know, be careful to bring people into your inner circle.

Mostly you can see people playing this at the burial of someone who died, every night.

That's weird tradition for me. I'm not sure how can people are happy after someone died

This was one type of gambling we knew while growing up but it was heavily criticised by parents then because most times it ends in fight and problems. The rules were awkward especially the one that says that the game must continue until the loser said he was done. In other words, the winner cannot end the game irrespective of how long they have played. Thisade the game time consuming and extremely boring.

Personally I never loved gambling then because most of the people involved in gambling then were poor, so there was nothing to attract me to gambling then. It was when I learnt about pools I started gambling.

This game of cards is very popular in many countries but when you are playing it physically with friends etc (as shown in the above picture), most people will not recognise it as gambling.
I know many kids and teenagers will play this card game without betting or gambling (involving money). They do not think it as a gambling and consider it just a card game.

If we play this card game without money, would you consider it gambling?

[Die_empty]

This type of gambling is very common in my country among the youth and elderly men. It's fun to play, but one thing about it is that most of the time arguments can easily come out within, which could escalate to a serious conflict.
 
Street gambling is one of the types of gambling with a high violence crime rate around here, which is one of the reasons why it's illegal here hardly before you can see anyone playing it in the open.

It was common a few years ago to see young people fighting because of disagreements during gambling. This was because the most popular kind of gambling was physical or traditional bets. But I think the introduction of online gambling has changed many things. Most gamblers are no longer interested in these local forms of gambling, which are prone to error, disagreement, and sometimes violence.

When I meet old friends that we once gambled together in the past, we still engage in this form of gambling. This is not usually for money but mainly for fun. But we prefer to play sports games like snooker, table tennis or football. Playing these games together reminds me of the old days when there online gambling. One can still find these physical games interesting since you will have to contribute to or determine the outcome.

If we visit some remote villages in some Asian countries, especially Southeast Asia, we will find many types of games or bets that are indeed carried out without place called casino, they only play at home or some places used to gather.
I have found it several times but tried to play only few times and that was long time ago when I didn't really know online gambling, there are also some card games that they only play for fun without money and bets.
Seeing people playing like that even without money they show happy facial expressions, they seem to entertain themselves and of course there are some special pleasures that may not be obtained if playing in casino.

In my neighborhood it is also like that, many people here play cards or dominoes as a form of entertainment and socializing between residents. Usually they play with light bets, like a few dollars, and no one feels burdened when they lose and everyone just enjoys it. It has become a tradition here that people gamble to fill their free time and just have fun with other people. And so far there has never been a problem because the people here are like relatives and understand that they gamble for fun.

It should be like that everywhere, though it's not. Gambling for a good time with the pals or by yourself. There is nothing like that in my neighborhood, so it's interesting to read your and others' perspectives and experiences in your own home area. Thanks!

I personally don't like gambling with people I prefer to gamble alone my reason is most people try to come up with schemes to cheat and sometimes you wouldn't even notice...in my experience this style of gambling tends to have outbreak of violence due to disagreements between the gamblers..some people who prefer this traditional system of gambling don't usually stake a huge amount of money, in my opinion it's quite better than online or land based casino because you won't be losing too much money

[danherbias07]

Yes, we gambled like this back when I was really young.
Just in the streets, inside the house, the backyard, anywhere as long as there's someone who will bring a deck of cards. We play our local card games like "tong-its", "pusoy dos", "pusoy way", and more.
Our bets are very low because we just doing it for fun or if we are too bored and have nothing else to do. Back when I was a kid, I was also playing these same games but the bets are different. The lose will have to put charcoal in his face, baby powder, or lipstick, depending on what's available. That's because in our house, gambling is not allowed and we are too young to do so.
When I was a bit older my friends and I would play poker in their house during weekends as our relaxing time. I can say I played a lot of gambling without the need for a casino before. That's because we also know how expensive it is to go there.

before these popular casino and online gambling became a thing, traditional gambling have long exitsted and gained popularity across the world for a very long period of time. Almost every household in my locality has this card or most commonly, WHOTE in thier homes and you can easily trace out the way your gambling journey started from this playing of whote. It wasn't played with money at the start but with time, it progressed to a point they prior knew that they can gamble through it and a lot of youths got involved it it. The disadvantage with traditional gambling is that it doesn't always end well in most cases. Might start off peacefully but the end is always disaster. You can sit from the comfort of your home and stake some bets in an online casino and lose as much as $500 a night and no one gets hurt but try losing that kind of money or anything close to that in this kind of gambling and you will see how hell will be let looses and you will be tempted to tag your friends that won as your enemy. Thier is a lot of disadvantage with traditional gambling that makes the online betting platforms and advantage over it and it's just good that we've evolved from it. For purely fun sake, whote is a good game for it but for the sake of gambling, it's never an option for me except it's an app that allows me to it agsjnf someone that's not physically present.

It's true, in my opinion, that there is a bigger risk of being cheated on, however, the experience which you may have without people like that, is priceless, in my opinion. And, as you said, there shouldn't be high sums involved, so scammers would not even be interested.
