Have you been there or thought of creating an offline game out of your ideal?

[tread93]

Some people had been so addicted to gambling that even when the gambling is being legally prohibited, they'd always find other means creating alternative to gamble. Especially offline gaming such that'll be logically competitive for players.
I've learnt about some local games being developed discovered through similar means. Some guys are so addicted in gambling that government can't entirely stop gambling. Creative ideal gamblers will always find means to create and introduce one to his close friends and relatives which game is only played and understood within the cycle. If so much interesting like that others can still adopt it and this is just how some offline games like the cards, dice and the chess, etc are invented.

I like the one where you take a bunch of change and make those the chips. It’s a lot of fun and works best with poker. You use the penny, nickel, dime, quarter and half dollars as your 5 chips and everyone puts like 30 bucks in and you have a pretty dang good pile of chips and winner takes all. It’s a cheap way compared to actually gambling with much larger to sums and its fun to check the coins and stuff afterwards

Yes, I thought of something before, but I realize such a stupid idea is just a way of dragging ourselves to risk and a huge penalty. For me, I'd rather just be a normal gambler rather than stress about not getting caught because none of us escaped from the terror eyes of the government.

If your goal is to make money out of it. You'd rather not think about it because the government won't leave you that way forever. You may find it successful today but can't be sure of tomorrow.

This is the good old days of gambling when people is just trying to entertain with these card games while the money involved is just for the sake of adding some spice.

Backyard gambling using card games is very popular in my country like tongits, pusoy and other local card games dedicated to just kill time here after the hard work on the farm in the morning.

Sadly, backyard gambling is already banned but they only allowed playing on physical and online casino which is worse because it’s addictive due to bonuses.

Those who addicted to gambling will find a way to gambling, whether gambling is prohibit or allow. Even if gambling is prohibit, they can find the place or community or other people who gamble so they can continue gambling.

I know some people go to hidden place to gamble in local area. But it is not easy to enter to that place because they are very very selective accepting the player. Only if someone often visiting to that place can brought his friend so the security will allow unknown person entering the place.

Blatantly referring to creating ways to gamble to addiction is inappropriate.  Some people want to have fun with friends; that's their motivation for devising new ways to gamble. In my area while I was growing up, we could gamble on almost any activity. It could be the first to identify a specific car, speak to a girl, finish homework,  score goals in local games, fight a bully,  and so on. The desire to make our moments more eventful, or less boring, leads us to discover diverse gambling patterns.

Back in my younger days I went to jail for doing dumb young kid shit. We used to play spades for soups as a way to pass time and gamble. Not like we could go anywhere lol. Just having some sort of wager on whatever you are watching or playing makes it more entertaining IMO.

Whoa! And you actually went to jail for it? Were you like bailed out after your parents paid a certain amount?

Here in my country, there are also people who sometimes go to jail for illegal gambling but it's not like they're young kids gambling spare change.

But, yeah, if gambling is illegal in your place and you want to gamble, you don't have to create a game for it. You could even just wager on the color of the next car that passes by.

I was not in jail for gambling lol, I beat a dudes ass who called my woman a bitch. Gambling in jail on card games was how we passed time. Like I said, young dumb shit is what put me in jail.

If we want to gamble we dont really need that online platform. we have everything to do gambling. Every basketball game is a chance to play with other friends and make a bet. Every sports is a way of gambling.
Playing cards have many ways to do gamble, Lucky 9, tong0its and Pusoy are some games we cann do with 2,3 or more players. A toss-coin is a somple heads and tails betting.

[Ishicryptic]

I've never thought of creating an offline game, why should I when there are more than enough games to play online plus gambling is not restricted in my country, I guess that it's gamblers who gambling is banned in their country that would be organizing illegal physical gambling. I know that when I was very young before the popularity of online gambling there were lots of card and dice games on the streets and you will see people gathered around gambling but I hardly see scenes like that in this era of online gambling. If you see street gamblings like that it is always scammers that setsup the gambling and you will see thugs all around Incase they scam you and you try to protest.

There are gambling in every levels offline or online. A ban won't stop people from gambling both in online casinos and offline gambling places. Furthermore, the gambling itself is a vague term and sometimes people are gambling without knowing they are actually gambling.
A bet between friends on which team would win is generally not considered a gambling in normal sense but it is. Board games when played for money would be considered a gambling.
Some may argue that playing chess with a bet is not gambling as it involves skills, some other may argue the same is true for card games as there are skills involved.
Even in the strictest gambling prohibited regions, I've seen people bet on board games and where cards (13x4) are banned, people are creating a different set of cards using other images and text which are used to play a bit different variations of same card games. Cards, board games and bet are universal forms of gambling.

Humans are truly unstoppable; they always find ways to get what they want one way or another, whether governments like it or not.

They are really unstoppable no doubt. No matter what is done, no matter the measures been put in place by the government or whosoever to ensure gambling didn't hold, humans still fine their possible way around it. Perhaps, this is why we are pretty difficult to deal with as human.

Moving forward, this bring me back in my secondary school days when me and my friends use to bet on some crazy things at school. Who answered questions correctly and who didn't. Who's teacher take up the morning devotion and so on. However, it was fun all the way and one amazing thing about it is that, is not always about the money but just for the excitement and just to bring ourselves together as friends.

Even before the internet became a popular hub for a lot of people, offline games have always been the big deal and most of the people that are not playing gam being online were initially involved in offline games. offline games is usually the best ones if not that to find someone that will serve as the escrow is the most difficult part of the game. if it is just for the sake of fun, physical games are far better than the online ones though it comes with violence sometimes which always leads to intervention by some security architecture.

[Fiasem20]

I’ve never thought of creating an offline game because firstly online gambling isn’t prohibited in my country.Those individuals that are deeply into gambling and they find themselves in an environment where online gambling is prohibited they might come up with this idea of yours.But prohibiting online gambling doesn’t eliminate gambling addiction,if the government wants to eliminate gambling totally then they should give a strict rule that whoever is caught playing offline card games for money should be arrested and it’s quite impossible because when such rule has been passed you won’t see people play card games for money in public.So in my own opinion,gamblers are always ready to find an alternative regardless of the government prohibition against gambling.

[Juicyhome]

Offline games like cards that you are taking about were not invested because of government gambling restrictions, they have been existing before online gambling.

Another thing is that you should not think that everyone that is bypassing government restrictions on gambling are gambling addictions. Majority of them are not addicted to gambling. It would be better you come up with evidence before making such post.

I agree with you, this post is baseless without any evidence,  dice and cards have been existing for long before people started using it to play gamble it was designed for as fun game to keep people busy when they're lonely,  government in my country has not ban gambling, I expected Op to give example of a country that the government banned gambling and they resulted of using cards and other alternatives to gamble,  but he didn't mention any.

Government are making so much money from gambling and they won't ban it , government only restrict some betting sites that refused to pay their loyalty to that particular country,  gambling has cause less harm than the government in question,  if government is performing well many people won't gamble,  many gamble today because they have no hope in their government and gambling is the only way our for them,  government should be held responsible for thr high rate of gamblers in the society today.

This is very common, I even experienced this in our village way back before like some gamblers, it's very small, because here in Philippines, there are some villages where gambling is allowed if there is funeral, so even kids can gamble and it's allowed by authority, so me as a kid before, we were able to play these different kind of card games and bet some coins, like very little, 1 coin of Philippine Peso, that's it or instead of money is being used to stake, there is some plot twist like drink 1 cup of water for every loser.

Offline games like cards and dice or even chess are unstoppable because they are games that you can play in your compounds with friends and family, no government officials will come knocking at your door for playing such games in your own house.

I did remember a time when gambling was restricted in my country, many offline casinos are forced to shut down and it was later on that the problem was solved, it happened that casinos are allowing students to gamble on school hours and it got really worse.

Somehow the news got to a governor's office and actions what took, if doesn't take very long that they settled the problem and I guess the casinos are told to avoid underage students, I think online gambling will be even harder to stop.

Things have changed now, every students have access to a cellphone, they can easily get into gambling compared to leaving home and going to a nearest gambling outlet or casinos.

Gambling games developed in small areas are indeed quite diverse. We can refer to these games as traditional gambling. The games might not be like what we usually play on online casino platforms. They adopt simpler games. I am not sure about creating my own game. I prefer to gamble on my own online. With a little time, I can do it anywhere, even during quite busy times.

An addict is an addict and there is nothing one can do to stop them unless the hands of God will touch them otherwise forget it and anyone who has gone this far of creating alternative means to gamble is very deep in his or her addiction and if I am a gambler who's not addicted to that extreme I will endeavor to avoid such person because they can be very and so hostile and would go any length if they don't win. I have never had this mindset and I will never because I am not an addict and I don't see gambling as a route to everything I want in life.

Well, it is true that most gamblers who love to gamble or have become addicted to it always find a way to gamble as long as they have money to gamble,
especially offline gambling.

But for gamblers who know how to control themselves, of course they will not let themselves do this due to they
are not addicted to gambling.

[Orpichukwu]

I don't understand why gambling should be banned when it can be regulated. We must understand that gambling, no matter how we feel about it, is one of the achievements of civilization and one of the choices of a free person. The main task of society and the state is simply to ensure that gambling does not become destructive. And it's against human nature to completely ban gambling. People will resist it and come up with some kind of ersatz forms.

We view it differently, and we also understood it differently, but we can’t say the same for every other government out there when they try to regulate it and still consider problem gamblers to be a product of the casino; they will move to banning it. That's what we get when the people on the higher-ups only care about controlling the people more than trying to give them freedom to do what they want, and even when they ban gambling, they can’t completely block it from use since the smart ones will always find their way around.
