Yeah, I miss those days thay we are covered with sweat being punished and always being scolded by our parents saying that we are all focused on playing and using our money to play and it will not give us great things in the future.

They might be right but that is part of childhood. I even bet something when my classmates are throwing stones at a sign. We bet whoever hit the sign will be taking all of our snacks, someone did and we are called at our baranggay for that.

Only with typical sports like basketball. When the great age when computers are expensive enough and people only play games outside their homes, basketball is one of an amazing part of my childhood where people in our community keeps on playing it from morning until evening. Its already part of the community's daily routine where a basketball match has come always with a bet.

There are many times I did that kind of bet, the most common one is playing sport, either its badminton or futsal, usually there will be a pot and winner takes all, its not much but it increase the fun and the seriousness of playing the game and back when I was in high school we like to play coin toss and the winner win the coin, I played a lot of this mini bet for fun and I seldom won, so it can be said that I am losing money from this mini bet

I can't believe that you have games with boys and girls. I do that only when we are playing outside our houses, either badminton or dodgeball, depending on the game. I haven't thought of betting with those kinds of games. For basketball, I know people will play with wagers, whether they are going to be the ones paying for the court or something close to that.

Respect to you and your group who is using the money to upgrade/renovate the church and spread your religion. That's admirable.

So it's quite similar with predicting the scores in football. I think the easy way to fix that just adjusts the winning prize so that it would satisfy what the players give. Probably only one slot per member and giving the chance that the money grows (if it's not won by a player)

What you are telling is the starting point of gambling. First it starts with fun and when this fun becomes regular it gets addicted and then you start to go for real gambling. So it is better to have healthy game bets and dont include any money or stuff. Let it be small as in start it is small and then it goes big you wont be knowing it.

I think I have saw a few websites in the past that allows a gamer to purchase a tournament slot with an entry fees in order to take part in a small tournament held on the website daily, and the players would play against each other until the winner is determine in the final round, the winner will be able to win a large portion of the total prize money which are the combined entry fees from all other participants.

there are many ways that can be done by people who are already very fond of gambling, in their daily activities if they always gather with gamblers, of course everything can be done to play by risking the money they have, even though sometimes they play by risking drinks, the most important thing is that they can gather together and have fun.

Missing those old days huh?

I am also missing those old days when I was young I play those kind of games with friends but now it is hard to get the spare time in our busy life that is why we opt for online gamblig now a days but in my opinion those games with friends are more entertained than current form of betting even the amount was low at those time.

Even before I have come to know about structured form of gambling that we know today, I have known gambling to be part of our daily ife and from something so simple. In the past, growing up, we have bet on who will get home first, bet on who will finish his food first, bet on whether it will rain or not to the extent of whether we will be given money by a visitor or not. Recently, I have seen myself and colleagues bet on whether an information to be sought from an external party would be confirm our initial position or not.

Even the life we live is a gambling on its own.

Do your remember or you play PES soccer? I played that with friends a lot, really a lot. 1 vs 1 or 2 vs 2 with miltitab, like 4 or 8 of us we make a little competition, each of us give some money and first place takes all. We start in the evening and play until the early hours next day, all night we bet against individual games, nothing big sometimes not even in money, in who will do something if they lose. That was like that until I "grow up". Now I don`t have so much free time like i had 10 years ago when I was younger, without wife and kids. now I gamble online because its open always, and when I have time I just gamble, with friends its hard to meet this days. when I can they can, when they can I can`t.

I agree with that, having a tournament with the circle of your friends but I just don't find them as a source of money if ever you know that you can take advantage of their skills in the games that you've been playing with. I also felt the trash talk when, I remember those days when I'm the weakest and I can't even play good with AWP so basically they are teasing me and asking me to use it during friendly match with small bet on it. I'm getting old, I feel nostalgia remembering those good old days.

The thing is gambling with friends while playing some games is basically fun and the idea of gambling in this case is to just add to the fun, which sometimes is all about the skills in the games you guys are playing. I would not say luck may not be a party to it sometimes too, but it is somehow still linked with your skills in the game. I have played need for speed with friends too as well, as well as FIFA, which can be quite interesting knowing you have something to lose on the table and you really want to prove yourself worthy of having the winning.

The problem that the house usually face in this kind of game is if the slots is not filled up. So lets say only 50% of the slots we're paid and when the game is over and someone was able to hit the correct number combination, house will pay using his own money since not all slots we're taken. It's going to be hard to refund all of them if slots are not filled.

Games like Dota, Warcraft will always need an internet connection because those are network-based where people will join from different parts of the world. For NFS there is no need for any internet connection there are so many levels which we can people them as many times as possible.

No, I don't make a competition or join in the network to play with the other people. I remember that I was only playing Need For Speed, but I don't compete with the other player because I know that I don't have a good internet connection because it needs a high-speed internet connection. I play until the end of the game which I became a winner. I heard that some adventure game could join with the network and the games like Warcraft, Dota and else.

I have those kinds of friends too that are scared to gamble their money, but who is to blame them? It's their hard work earned money, so I understand if they don't want that. Collecting funds together for just enjoyment is what makes friends closer. For my friends that have no money anymore, sometimes we contribute so that friend, who has no money, would get the chance to play or gamble too. It's just bonding.

Hmm, I feel that too sometimes if one of your friends has no much money but you see that he is losing. It doesn't feel right, but that's what improves people. They need to know that they should up their game at the pace that our friends are playing. It's fun to have a tournament with friends and the teasing is what makes it more fun, making sure that they are a sport and not a killjoy.

I remember playing Deathmatch with my friends when it's Counter-Strike 1.3, it's really fun and with all the trash talk.

I do like Need for speed too, and I started playing that franchise when it was NFS Underground, and I only used the first starting car almost until the end of the game. But what I like most about it is the NFS Most wanted, earning stars and just running away from the police there, it's thrilling. I haven't tried betting with money on NFS, but it's interesting to do, I gotta buy that game. lol.

Yep, by just playing Dota games here in my place, this is very common all over the Philippines where you can have 5v5 match with your friends and have some money involve so you will be more challenged playing Dota.

I remember before we travel far just to play Dota with my friends in other places and won some money because of that. This is really entertaining and it builds more solid relationship with your friends. A less risk gambling, yet the experience that you could get from this is really great.  

There many promotion oriented site focus what you are pointing here but we do not stop or control from what they are doing it. However, whether it is normal games or crucial betting kind of games. These all things depends on the investor who has the idea to invest on any gambling platforms.

As I know, many traditional gambling, betting and dice gambling sites only in the crypto platform. If you such sites which provide the normal way of gambling means please you may share in your thread itself.

I used to play drunk games with friends. We would usually start by drinking and talking or watching a movie and then somebody always came up with an idea. Let's play truth or dare or poker when people barely were able to recognize the cards or walk straight and usually we were betting money because people do stupid things when they're drunk.
Drunk gambling is much better than normal gambling, you should try it.

I have done several times with friends as well and it is usually fun, and in such cases at least, you know you are putting down what you can afford to lose, they are your friends and they really are just like family anyway, so if you go ahead losing to them in any game, you would not take it personal, except that next time, you just have to up your game one way or the other. It can be daring too though and it usually comes with the same experience that you get to see in Casinos, which I pretty much believe if you do not take care, and you get yourself out of control, you may actually tend to take things too personal.
