Topic: Street Gambling Risk - page 2. (Read 626 times)

It is better for us to avoid big risks than to be tempted to try them because street gambling can provide a bigger risk because many people must gather in that place. We don't know which is good and which is evil because we are all gathered in one place at the same time.

We'd better find another place to gamble than take that big risk. Safety is the main thing of all and we already have an online casino that we can use to play gambling safely.

Just as online gambling is expanding, the number of street gambling platforms is also drastically decreasing. In ancient times people used to wait for a specific day to gamble. Gradually they started increasing its limits now gambling can be done 24 hours. Generations have changed, not at the previous level. Street gambling followed in that phase. Since the advent of online gambling, people are not interested in street gambling anymore. Besides, no one wants to do anything with a little risk. Because they can safely gamble at home in online.

Yea, that's why I stick to online casino platforms, and on-chain as far as possible, less risks to funds. No possible harm unlike in street gambling and you can play at comfort of your home.

With so many casinos being established online and offline I do not see the need for people to gamble on the street, in a way I can understand if some of them made some bets with their friends as not only you have the excitement of winning the bet, but you also get the excitement of beating your friend, and in many cases that is even more alluring than the money itself, but gambling on the street does not have any of those factors, and in my mind the risks you are taking do not correspond with whatever you could get out of this gambling experience.

I have watched this video from years back and as a chess lover? i almost fell into this trap somewhere near the university i am going but luckily that a friend of mine come to save me from becoming a victim telling that it is a scam and no one will win against them.

I believe that there are other way of this scammers into gambling from streets so best never to try them unless you knew what you are entering .

I guess so , because who will gamble in the street to lose from random bettors? so it is a sure thing that they knew how to take money from people who they fooled .

if you don't know what street gambling means and how this works? then better never engage in such because this is truly a risky for Noob and beginners because this is a kind of game that needs understanding and knowledge because there are so much cheating may happen in your side.
i have been exposed in street gambling since childhood though i am not that typical gambler because I know what can cause me this and may end my  life with bad situation.
if you were to try this area of gambling then it is a best teacher to understand what gambling is all about,
because there are so many things you can see there that Casino houses cant show you specially cheating skills mate.

I guess there might be a such thing as "street gambling" here in the United States, but it's certainly not a known thing.  In fact public transportation like buses and subway systems specifically state "no gambling" on the rules and these are always posted on the side of the bus or train or whatever, all over the place.  They certainly do this because yes it is dangerous and certainly something I'd avoid at all costs.  Too many ways to gamble now that don't involve all that risk.

And as we know in local areas, there are familiarities about the neighborhood that operates there and with the authorities that are in their jurisdiction. That's why even if it's reported to the authorities, it's possible that they may take action on it but if they've been too familiar with the area and they can't go down deep to that hood, they'll just put your report somewhere else like in their trashcan. That's the reality, especially in developing countries, where there are activities like this in the streets and gambling operations are rampant there. They won't even have an inch of action for them to stop but instead, there goes the potential bribery that can be put to the authorities and officials that are assigned to that area.

Here is one sample in our country about this kind of street games, chess, but it's definitely a scam and worst

So it's a chess gang, the people behind who bet are part of the scam itself. And it will encourage that one people to beat big money and even tell the player on what move is the best. But definitely it's not and at the end you are going to lose to this scammers. Or if the gang see that you are winning, then that's where the scary part is because they won't simply allow that to happen as they are going to surround you to get your belongings, demands money for you.

Fights could be avoided. The risk I see on street gambling is cheating issues with the 'house' or the one who facilitates. Their hands are too fast to notice but they are putting tricks in order to come up with winning. My friend tried playing on a street based gambling game which seem to be a dice game. He was allowed to take trials and when it went smooth he engaged with bets and surprisingly, he did not even win once unlike with his trials wherein he did not even lose. Game of luck? I doubt, there is for sure something in it maybe some sort of a trick. Well, this is not to generalize but if you are unfamiliar with that street in particular, then I suggest avoid putting your money into it.

For some people who do love gambling too much or make out bettings then these street gambling would be no exemption and they would dive in since it do fits out into their interest.On the time that you do

engage with these things then you are much pretty sure aware on what are the probable things that you might encounter ahead specially if there would be some potential problems or erring or
conflicts in between bettors which would cause up some trouble.

One of the advantage when playing online is that you do able to make yourself avoid these things.

Not all countries are prepared to take necessary measures. Just because you reported the site might've been stopped. However it is really hard thing to find the person or group functioning behind and to stop them from creating more and more similar websites. Street gambling and what we see as online gambling fraud is completely different.

Street gambling is certainly very risky and most of those who do it as a business are scammers. They are old versions of casino sites prepared with unfair scripts on fake websites. Fortunately, such a habit is almost nonexistent in my country. However, about 7-8 years ago, I encountered one of them. Then I reported them to the police station near my house. We should not tolerate people who defraud others with fraudulent games.

this brings back memories of a few years ago, more than 10 years in my country and when I was less than 12 years old, me and my friends would play cards and bet money, it was something fun and the games were peaceful, or even if he was the loser, he accepted defeat calmly, and also at that time the laws in my country were very lenient laws, that's why we could play in the streets without problems, but with the passing of the years and the suffering of the people, the money started to disappear. have much more importance, and the cost of living has increased a lot and with that people no longer accept losing and paying peacefully. if in a card game more than 10 years ago we bet 1$ each person and the loser did not feel like losing 1$, today in street games when someone loses 1$ they immediately start accusing that the seller has cheated and refuses to pay

what you watch next is a bloody fight between the loser and other gamblers, and for that reason the laws have become very tough to stop this kind of behavior, and the government has started to allow gambling only in places that have licenses, and unfortunately the casinos in my country are for rich people. as a result of all this, the poor in my country are left with nothing but to play the lottery or place bets in online casinos.

currently in my country no one dares to play  Gambling  by betting money on the street, everyone is afraid of being denounced and arrested, people play but do not bet money because it is not illegal, it is not a crime to play cards in the streets in my country, as long as you don't bet money. well, by that I mean that it is not good for people to participate in  Gambling  in the streets

Yes, the game of thimbles and other similar games were quite widespread in the 90's in various large markets in my country. This kind of game is really a show for fools. If a fool agrees to play, at first they are allowed to win to increase their excitement, but when it comes to big bets, they lose everything, right down to their watches, necklaces, and clothes. Such games should be avoided.

True, anything that involves with money can always make a man's nature to change that is why money is reckoned to be the root of all evil. The most dangerous ones are that kind of gambler who got the needs of his family on his shoulder and to make things easier, he gambled all the money left in hopes to earn as fast as he could and then he thinks he was cheated. It's pretty much safe to assume that things will get messy in just moments because of that doubt that he felt which resulted to a lose of his funds.

So, yes, street gambling is very much a dangerous place to be in and no matter how good and lucky you are in gambling, there's a good chance that you won't be leaving the place in the same way you entered it. Trust me because these things are pretty notorious in our place especially in streets with almost no police presence.

Yes, it will be like that in the end, we don't know if the place is really safe and the people inside can accept defeat gracefully. As I experienced, defeat sometimes makes us emotional and if we can't control it it will be very dangerous, especially this is a street where anything can happen. When a person is controlled by emotions, they can do anything, and what is even more dangerous for them is money. I would avoid gambling on the street like that.

Anywhere where the word street appears is never a good one. The street is not the safest place to be not to talk about gambling. You will be out there in an environment controlled by all sorts of people with criminal tendencies. Street gambling is highly unregulated and if in a regular casino where the odds are against you, in street gambling, the odds are 1000x against you.
Even if you win, the probability of getting robbed is high. Please stay away from street gambling and never encourage it. I agree with you that creating awareness could help reduce this but them if the authorities do not provide an enabling environment for her citizens to thrive, they will turn to the streets.

There are different types of street games, I don't know which you are referring to specifically but I can tell you for free that it's bad gambling if you are involved with the street. In street gambling, you don't set the rules, you follow the rule of the street and as such, I don't think there is something favorable about those rules and the chances of winning are always zero in my opinion. I once lost my last money on me when I engage in the last one I played and I never for once tried it again. There are these guys also in my country that goes around with their casino bags, they will encourage you to play, they will lure you in and make you win the first game and after that, they will increase your winning and expect you to play again but that's a trap because you will never win the second one and that is when they expect you to wager big amount.

Or someone outside just keeps an eye on who is winning and will just ambush you when you go home. At gunpoint, you will really be handing out whatever you have, you'd be lucky if they leave you alive.

The kind of neighborhood matters so it would be best if you just gamble on streets where you know everyone in there and you are comfortable drinking beer with those guys dealing cards.
