Traditional gambling style without a casino

[Egii Nna]

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.

If you are raised in the locals, you will definitely play this card, mostly for fun and putting some pennies to gamble, and the winner takes it all. Moreover, it mostly ends up in fights because some people that have more experience on the game usually cheat, and most of the time if you don’t put more attention on it, you will not notice and they will use the cheating to win. That is why people will fight if they find out the winner cheats. So they will not agree to give him the money, and that will definitely cause arguments, then fight. 
 
I can still remember an incident that happened when we were kids because of this card gamble. A friend of mine lost one of his eyes because he cheated, although that happened based on his greediness because he wanted to achieve all the four candies that had been staked, so as we found out he cheated, one of us hit his eyes with a stone.

This game is common if you visit garage where cab riders and some mechanics dine and joke together and I think this way of gambling is the real definition of having fun because here, there is nothing like money involved or any money motivation, just pure vybes for what they love smoking. There are some you will see where people gamble with bottle of liquor just to get more shot and the liquor are expensive ones, not the usual cheap beer.

Though I'm not the type that smoke or drink but I will love another version of this when I hangout with my friends. This are the type of gambling you remember and you all laugh it out, it's because of money but because of the fun it gives and you don't really bother about the loss even when you lose to your friends, unlike when you lose to casino and you get angry because your mind is there and expecting something in return .

Care has to be taken, though, because there is always the potential to begin to gamble on every potential event and every game that can just be enjoyed, and even unnecessary things that do not require you to gamble. Individuals who have become addicted to gambling like this @OP and to almost every event will not find it hard to become addicted gamblers when they discover online casinos.

In my estimation I think it is very difficult to get addicted to this tradition form of gambling. It is slow and boring. There are music's or bright lights. You almost play it with the same people every day who are your buddies and you also know their strengths and weaknesses. The "reward" for winning is so small that it's purpose is to ensure that the other plays take the game seriously.

You could be right thu but I still see it as addiction is very much possible. Now how do we talks about addiction, to me is simply means anything you do regularly with or without money being attached to it that you can't do a day without such person getting involved to that particular play, it could be gambling, smoking, clubbing and womanizing all these are things that one could easily get addicted to due to their regular and constant involvement to it. So in this your case, even though it's a traditional gambling methods one could still gets addicted to it because it's a play that involves one or two persons so there is likelihood of getting addicted.

in many cultures I think it is absolutely something very common.
in Italy, it is often a practice done by the old people or maybe by people who find themselves drinking in a pub.
But I think its like the same people are doing just playing poker within friends...
More over, if you take in count the amount that can be won, even if there is "gambling" behind it we are talking about really laughable figures.
it's just a way to spend some time.

You call it card game right?
Okay from my local we calls it whot most times people bet on whom to win while, for long people has been doing kind of bet without even going to the casino house to gamble. But what I don't like about this gambling is that most times the lose don't always remits their part of money, that is why there is always a board man to have those cash at hand from the original bettor so to settle the person who wins the game. There many gambling styles I have came across without people going to casino to gamble instead they stay off from the site.

Not only do the bet on someone who would win, at times they go as far as betting on someone who would lose the game and that is a difficult one but the odds are high and anyone who think otherwise would gamble with the other person. Whot games are one interesting and fun local gambling games. There are no literally no room for partiality as anyone who wins will unfailingly get his cashout. Where you can find whot gambling could be in the school, institution, offices, social gatherings, family meetings.

We all can make gambling at the comfort of our homes with friends and family as shown in the image above, this is one of the moment we can enjoy some of the ties we keep around those close to us with gambling, we may not have to make use of the casino before we can play bet and gamble in some situation, because this alone will tell more about how gambling is seen as a means that bring people together in having fun.

[Findingnemo]

I haven't and this is not common where I live too.

But I traveled to some countries where older people do this casually every day to kill their boredom and they use a small amount of money as betting pot and they just play and play until the day is over and I guess things resume the next day too.

It only works when you know that person so they won't cheat once the game ends.

Yes bro, that's what is called building harmony in friends, even though we are at the peak of victory, we never forget them, we share a little of our profits with our friends who are fighting in the gambling game, in gambling there are no such things as friends, everyone is an opponent to win, but in this group it is implemented in a family manner where they play together, the benefits are shared, never leaving the loser behind, everyone is embraced, it can be called a hobby that can make money, to fill your free time and while chat with other people to maintain friendship.

I don't think that's how things works because there is no fun it then why people want to win it in the first place, the eagerness to win the game and take the money from pot is the driving force if they doesn't want to take money from others they can simply ignore the betting portion and just continue it as only a game.

Well, I didn't understand what they were saying cause I don't understand their language but the translator told us it's part of their daily routine and it's gambling.

Gambling is more fun when the price is lucrative, I support this type of gambling, you don't even have to use money, I know some friends that bet PS4 brand new and deep freezer for gambling prize, it was years ago though, they all contribute to buy the prizes and they go head to head in gambling game aka cards, and the winner takes the ultimate prize.

This worked only if the group of friends supports and understand each other, the main reason why I always try to avoid this type of gaming is misunderstanding from others, it is why fights break out among friends when they gamble.

I agree if it goes with the friends that you know and it's okay for your group to place such bets, it's a totally viable plan to spend some time and have fun.

You should try it more often because this is a good way to experience  the real gambling but also know that with this type of gambling, there is always a high risk of violence as any individual losing too much might get violent and decide that he is not going to keep to the agreement of the deal then others will want to force him and then everything become violent. When playing this type of gambling, I always make sure I go with an additional individual to help protect me if things are getting out of  hand and for me to have an extra buddy to look out for me and to observe if I am being cheated as there is always alot of cheating going on with physical gambling like this one. This type of gambling are usually found in the rural areas like getto that streets boys are always found and they are very troublesome.

This kind of gambling is very old in my area and I remember when we used to indulge in it as a student in the university, but one bad thing about it when compared to gambling with a casino is that in a casino, you can quit when you want, but in this one, you cannot quit until all your funds are drained, and even if you want to quit before your funds are drained or, then you must return all the funds you gained from other the multiple times you won, after settling out you may even go empty handed while others continue gambling with your hard earned funds. In my area then, it leads to serious fights when a gambler wins so much and wants to quit to utilize his funds for better thing. I do not know who set those rules, but it's very much observed, and this singular act discouraged me from getting more involved in the gambling aspect of playing cards as a student.

Old friends shouldn't be avoided at gambling. I have already mentioned somewhere in my posts that I have a custom  to play poker among friends outside casinos and we are gambling more than often.  

Doing this I  reap the benefits of both gambling and hearty talks on various topics including politics, economics   ... women at the end.

This is normal in most places of the world where people would have an informal understanding and agreement of betting with some conditions attached to it. Although it is not always strictly adhered to, it's always fun, to say the least, as it helps spice up the fun better than playing games ordinarily.

My wife and I engage in this kind of betting often but she hardly gives me my wins because I win her most. If we started, with the gist and other extras, we might be on it for hours without noticing the time has been far spent, which has already served the purpose. But in some settings, they could be strict about the agreement.

Yes, I have. I still gamble on traditional gambling in between days without being busy if a friend invites me to play at a place. Gambling in a traditional way is interesting not only because of the target of winning but there are other pleasures that I get when playing. One of them is being able to meet face to face with friends who have not met for a long time.
The type of bet is not always in the form of money, but in the form of goods. The rules of the game were that once the loser paid for food and drinks as well as cigarettes.

This is very common in my country. Elderly people in our community usually play in the afternoon. But nowadays, they are playing in a place somewhere secluded or a bit far away from the street since the Police Mobile sometimes does a round, and if you get caught, you will pay a fine. But before, it was allowed; there was no problem even if you played openly or beside the streets.

[Oluwa-btc]

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.

Yeah it is,often times I isee elderly ones gather at a certain spot and play this traditional Chess and they do it staking money so the winner goes with it which is actually Gambling and theirs is done very matured without been biased to each other.

But comparing it with this age what I observe is that,the youths cause of greed ALWAYS generate arguments,fights and quarells within themselves which makes them vulnerable to the society but this elderly ones know what they are in for and when disagreement arise they also know how to tackle them.

We always did this back when I was a stay-in at work. It was a friendly and entertaining match to shake off the pressure in our work. The idea was not to beat my other co-workers. The winners ended up spending half of their earnings on a snack.

You don't have to go to a casino to play your favorite card games. You can invite your friends to play your favorite card games, and you can even play dice games and have one to host. But it should be for fun, and you all want to be entertained.

I tried something different than that with my brother but not with money because we are prohibit playing card using money by our parents. Yeah, that was in my teenager but I am not doing that again for some years so I miss that time and I hope I can repeat it again with my brother. But I have been watched some old people playing card game together in one of their house and they say that is for fills their time. Playing card game can be excitement especially if we can beat all of the player but if one of us have a high skills or have their luck, we can't beat him and only lose our money if we use money. Sometimes the bet is not money but something that looks worth for them such as buying food or drinks, pay bills in grocery store and else. Well, that will makes your day but you must knows when you need to stop because playing card game can makes you forget the time.
