Topic: Local/Traditional Gambling Spots (Read 277 times)

But the younger gamblers have different perception on gambling, their interest is on the amount of money they win or lose , they find it very hard to work on their emotions, they play constantly even when they have lost a lot of money however, I prefer seeing the older men gamble than seeing younger ones gamble .

The older men gamble, but maturely, and when they gamble, they make fun of the games played, and in some cases, they correct themselves while playing. Despite the fact that they gamble, they point out lapses and errors their counterparts made while playing, laugh over them, and do not mind if money is involved in the game they play.
 
Have you visited the traditional gambling sport  in your place? How do the traditional gambling games and spots in your country look? Have you gambled the local way?  How was your experience, then?

But at the end of the day, it's quite true that when older people gamble, and in my opinion (I'd still die on this hill lol) when no organized gambling facility is involved, they can have fun and enjoy the atmosphere without looking for profit or to one-up the other guy.

Have you  ever had the thought of visiting a local gambling spot before, or have you been there before? I had to go there days ago. The place is characterized by old men gamblers and this board game which we call it in our place, is called draft in the local dialect here, some call it Okwe, and others call it different names in their various languages.


I noticed something there, the old men who play this game together always play with fun irrespective of the fact that they gamble, they laugh, talk, and make fun of themselves while they gamble without anyone noticing that they are gambling. Although I have been around them a few times while they play, I never had any idea they gambled. They do that maturely, and you would never understand they do so.

It is never like this when the young ones are playing that game. They always end up shouting match, fighting and quarreling, and making it obvious to people that they are gamblers, which is not appropriate. At first, the environment where they sit to play the game is very rowdy, which is not like that of the older men; they are well-coordinated and mature while playing. This is what the local gambling spot looks like in my country, and it has been going on like that from time to time without any thought of change from the young ones who engage themselves in the game. I have also asked them, just as I did to the older men, but the narrative is quite different from what the older man told me. The younger ones are desperate to get the money, which has made them gamble and forget so soon the tenets and principles of gambling.

betting on these platforms, horse racing, and cock fighting is very exciting there's a lot of noise and shouting that adds up to the excitement our folks here are regular to these platforms, this is their regular weekend habit and its been a tradition for many years here in our country.

from my personal experience, I think it depends from person to person. I've seen a lot of older men(and women. yes, women gambling in my country is quite normal) lose their mind when they are gambling, especially when they are losing. I think it still depend on a person,

The thought to visit an old gambling spot crosses my mind constantly to be honest. Maybe mostly old folk gather there, but they are of the fun variety. They are hardcore on their card games but also experience a lot of people things through gambling
 
There is discussions about pretty much anything. From learning your town's chit chat and all the spicy news, to politics and serious maters of all kinds. But the very good thing is that drinks ther are super cheap.
