Topic: Gambling with normal games - page 9. (Read 1716 times)

Many people do gamble casually. When I used to play Dota, there were sites that allowed you to bet your ingame items on pro league matches. It looked like some childish way to gamble, but these items could be quickly sold for fiat money on steam and some were quite valuable, so people were betting the equivalent of 10-100 € every time. I'm sure that it's still popular.

I agree and mobile games are just like the same things with the competitiveness of a player. I have played Mobile Legends and I have a team that are very supportive of each other and we grow together. I know there are competitions held in that specific game and there's a grand prize. That's what we aim to be and we all know that having money as the wager would really improve your gameplay.

Some people don't consider mobile games as games, but it's almost the same concept, letting people play together, PVP and it's just a different console. I have started taking advantage of my phone in order to get back my investment on it. I just wanted to earn from it. I think the best games are the skill-based games.

This is more common nowadays now that there are pvp games available in smartphones. I've been part of groups that held competition to who will be the games winner. Not sure if this is considered gambling tho even if it involves money. It's actually nice to do it since it's more like a skill game than a probably fair game compared when you are gambling in casinos.

What game were you guys playing in College? Probably it was Warcraft? You had a lot of players then and I remember doing that as well with matching snacks to treat us after the game. Having a friendly match is not bad also, it's a way to practice your gameplay and not be too competitive, but I think you need the pressure in the game to have a better performance.

I don't think that they don't understand real happiness, it's just the same happiness, it's an emotional state, it's just that it's different now compared to before. I haven't tried betting clothes, especially the things we are currently playing but that would be fun. I only experienced strip poker lately, not when I was a kid. We all need money but we shouldn't be always about money, there's a difference.

Those days are good to cherish and unlike today's children, they will never understand what real happiness is. Well this is getting off topic now. Any simple games before can be applied with gambling, whether the bet is money, clothes, or anything which is childish thing and all we do is to enjoy the company of both parties. But now we've grown up and getting older lol all we want is money.

We've done it when I was in College, it was a 5v5 game but the bet isn't that high since we are friends. Just enough to pay for computer rent. This is more like a friendly match and not a gambling match coz it's more in entertainment and doesn't think too much about the bet. We've done it not just in one game, but in different games as well.

Hmm, what informal kind are you talking about? Not being regulated but still enjoyable? Or just some spontaneous game you and your friends from college manage to do. I think those kinds of gambling games is really for entertainment, nothing else. Maybe it's only known for a circle of friends.

I have played those games and I'm only up to arena 6 or 7, I think. It would be awesome since it has 2v2 mode now. More possible profit.

It's probably our friendship are at the highest level, winning $200 from someone is a great thing (for the winner) but my friends wouldn't approve that kind of amount. It's like being in business right? It's hard to be involved with someone you already have a relationship with and money is almost what everyone wants, which is not a good thing.

I think when it's wine, they say it has blood-related benefits, where it can strengthen blood flow or something. Something of too much would really be bad. lol.

I always play dice and poker games for gambling. I think these two are simple games for gambling. Mostly I play dice game because it needs no experience and depends on luck only. Game time is also short and you can play many games in very short time. Poker takes some time and also needs experience because of bluffing. Good bluffer can win the game easily.

It's either your friendship is of the highest level or you and your friends are very wealthy people. If a friend lost to me $200 I'm pretty sure we would stop being friends after that. There's even a saying where I live, if you want to ruin a friendship allow money be involved in the relationship. At first, after reading your reply I even started thinking on giving $0.01 value to the chips with "1" written on them, but then I remembered the saying.



No, it's not a drinking game, if you are asking about what I wrote. A bottle of wine/whiskey/rum serves as a prize for those who won the competition. I meant that the winner doesn't take it home, but rather shares it with those who lost, and everyone is happy. Actually I wouldn't recommend playing drinking games to anyone because excessive amounts of alcohol can be very bad for your health.

Usually it's informal kind of gambling type that usually being held by community,college,etc
IMO, these kind for gambling type have less demand so it's unpopular gambling type that want to be include on bitcoin gambling site.

But if we talk about E-sport, they have a chance for example clash royale or clash of clan war competition that reward in BTC

Am I thinking of the right game? The one on the phone? I remember playing that and competing with some of my friends. It always going to get hard as long as you play it, the longer the game the faster it is right? I think it is a great mobile game, still is, but I haven't thought of it to be waging something there. I just brag about it whenever I was in the high score board.

Everyone that has some knowledge of playing card games has the chance to gamble with money, it's just a proven fact in my opinion. My friends and I want to start a poker night and just for fun with money. I think not everyone is willing to wager money in anything, they are not risk takers.

Hmm, I haven't played on a multitap before, was it, four players? I'm thinking of Bomberman, as in the one you leave bombs and just making yourself strong in the game by collecting powerups and something. That's also a great game, it's not easy to play with humans, but at that time, the bots are really easy. What kind of things the winner wants that you have experienced?

What I have done when playing poker with friends is that we exchange it for real value, like a $1 chip would be considered as a real dollar, just like in the casinos and we all agree that it's real money so the stake is really high, no one of us wants to lose. Fortunately, we didn't lose the friendship that we had and it's just competitive gameplay one game after the other.

Is it like the drinking game? I think that's one game that I'm not really good at but really fun to do. You wouldn't know how much you are going to drink unless it already happened. lol

I do play poker with my friends but it's always with plastic poker chips and never with real money. Imo playing with real money with friends is a lose-lose situation, especially if big money involved. I mean, if you win the money you lose your friends, and if you lose money ... well, you lose money, and that's a bad thing.

But there's also another kind of competition, apart from poker. For example, when we are talking about movies and one guy/girl is saying that it's this actress starring there and someone else is saying it's another one, things like that, and then we are making bets about that, and like a bottle of wine or a bottle of rum should be bought by the loser ... But then we dink it together anyway.

It's like escrowing the funds in a certain tournament slot then scheduling the time of games. I think it would really be a good business idea to host something like that. In the end, after giving the major prizes, consolation prizes, venue, etc the organizer would still profit just from the entry fees itself.

I'm not very familiar with futsal but I did a few searches on the internet and it is just like soccer (pardon me for not knowing). For badminton, I have played it too, sometimes competitively with friends, but I'm not that pro. Sometimes it involves waging money to buy food after every tournament we had. For the coin toss, that's going to be a quick and easy profit if you are lucky.

For me that was the idea of this post also, it's like an extra income that is not coming from my parents pocket (when I was still a young student) that wants to do something for myself. That's the time I learned that when you are really good at something, you have to take advantage of it. It was fun but it's totally different now especially that most of our circle of friends are working.

Once I tried to gamble with my friends when we are playing the game on PlayStation2. We use money as a bet, and if someone can win the game, then he can take all of the money. We really enjoy to play the game especially if we can win the game, we can get that money. But in other time, we only play the game without using money and the bet changes. Who can be the winner, he can get all he wants in that day without any delay.

Yes, there are some chances that my relatives and friends try to play games with a bet and most of the time we play cards at home and not in the casinos, and I am winning some little amounts, we are just having fun actually and not to win huge money because we all know that we have all our limitations. hahaha LOL

I did with subway surfers  which is not a hard game but not easy to make high scores,but I did that in somewhat and won few bucks from my friends who bet between us to reach a new high score in a time period and honestly I am still at the high score on that game even after many years now.

Yes, I did this, we bet money on the game to guess the top score in a tournament. We call the game "BOMBER" very pleasant. We play this game on PlayStation2.

I have only done this once with friends and it can be pretty interesting but it was soccer. FIFA 18, and then we decided to just go the betting style. Men, it was like a thug of war, the adrenaline rush, it was really crazy and fun at the same time.

The most important thing is to see it as fun, but the thing with the money part of it is that, that motivation to win is something that would always make you to want to try your best, but sometimes, asides the skills in playing, luck too can really be a case some times.

How to not miss them? Like you are saying, that was entertainment, nothing can come close to that this days. We played tekken, mortal combat, boxing, need for speed, other driving games, but mostly we played soccer.That times will never return, carefree times, it was nice to win, but it was all about fun and spending good time with friends, always with some beers and snacks. Sadly new generations will never know that, dota, counter strike, lol, other online games are good, but there is something with hanging out with friends, talking, having fun, new generations will not feel that.

Hey yes I used to do it with my friends and sometimes with total strangers, we used to play counter strike back then and sometimes we gambled within our inner circle, and at times when we met new people we pitched them the idea and they joined in. When we were indoors we used to gamble on Fifa games on ps2 and Ps3, but those was back in the past now we stick to sports or casino bets. As for the money we made I won't call it a fortune, let's just say extra income to keep one going.
