It is a special case whether one can gamble in the street or not. For example, here in my country people cannot safely gamble that way, and the closest alternative is cock-fighting.

On the other hand, in developed countries, I assume that gambling in public spaces is also illegal, the same way it is to drink alcohol in public.

It is better just for people to stick to online casinos and if they want to socialize, it is possible to build a good setup to enjoy with friends in the safety of one's home.

This is also noticed with cockfighting which it is illegal to operate without permission and it has always been hot to the police about illegal cockfighting that is why those people who conduct this illegally is going to remote areas that are difficult to reach by car mostly only motorcycle, but there are places that this event is done (arena) which is legal. Also in public places, you can't gamble but it is not strict as we can still see people doing it but if someone saw it like the police they will get scolded mostly. But when it comes to vigil for death gambling is really pretty known on this and even if you are on the road as long as you attend it is okay to join this as most of the authorities are not going to stop it as they respect it.

Cockfighting arenas are like a safe place for people to gamble here, those who are not betting on the arena, set some tables to one side and roll dices or play cards.

But I am not sure if we could call this alternative as "street gambling" since one is not technically gambling in the streets, but rather in a particular enclosed area, where gambling is socially acceptable. Still the police also plays a significant role on whether one can or cannot do without getting in problems. Roll Eyes

Is street gambling safe?

Actually, this is an easy one and it all depends on the place and who you play with. Almost all of the streets here have people piling up to bet on games like blackjack, lucky nine, and baccarat. Fights actually broke out since the place where the games take place is only on the streets where there is actually no authorities like security guards or moderator for the games. One of my friends actually gets hospitalized because of his winning and he got on one of his opponent's heads after the game, his opponent and his companions hit him on his face with a baseball bat.

Does it prove that street gambling is not safe? Yes, it might but it all depends on the players. Will u play your bet with people you know are no good? No right? Maybe we can't really say until it happens but how about the chance that you can get yourself harmed, I'm not saying that don't play street games or don't bet on street gambling what I'm saying is please do choose who you play with wisely.

Spreading awareness is what at least we can do to help others, if ever you're watching some street games and you feel something's up call some authorities already because you might catch fire as well.

You are conflating and confusing terminology here. Most people when reading the headline would think you're on about gambling actually outside, on the street, which can be full of conmen and ripoff artists. Engaging with anyone on the sidewalk when it comes to betting activity is very dangerous and you can get setup in so many different ways (they can hook you in with small bets and take you on a big bet, they can get a feel for how much money you've got and have an accomplice mug you, just so much potential for a bad outcome). Legitimate large casinos in most developed countries are some of the most secure and safe environments to gamble, albeit the odds are against you and the house always has the long term advantage.

Is street gambling safe?

I mean, totally! Especially if we are talking about the streets and you include gambling in it, certainly those two words when put together will result into a not desirable outcome because there is no authority to protect the gamblers and no moderator to keep the gambling fair and square. It's just a risky gambling for everybody who are in that place.

The same thing will happen even if you know most of the people there because there is always that one man or one group that will always doubt the outcome of especially if they are on the losing side or had a lose streak and suddenly they got that feeling that they are tricked. Safe to say that a fight will suddenly break out in no time.

...

Well, gambling is not safe at first whether it was in the casinos or it was just on the street. But because you are done betting or gambling on the street, you hereby accept that you might lose or win. But honestly, if we would think about beating those people who manage gambling in the street, I was in doubt if we can do it. They are doing this for a living and they will have to protect it and earn money rather than paying these gamblers. Might some gamblers get really lucky and win but I would say that the majority are losing. However, it doesn't matter if we enjoyed playing as well.

I haven't encountered with any such act of street gambling. In our region clam shells were rolled on the street as a kind of gambling. Here some used to win and the win is very rare. I don't know how the calculations were made. Whenever a person intends to spend he gives a free trial and in the trial the player used to win big. Further while he spends money and rolls, it won't be a winning bet. I don't know whether there is some trick or he fools on counting. Those kind of gambling doesn't cost big and the winning amounts were around $25 max. So, it doesn't look to be unsafe.

from the several replies that I have read, almost all say that the negative things that might happen to street gambling have a high risk. but some people say street gambling is like the sensation of gambling directly which is very fun even though they know the big risks that will be received.

and I'm sure that some of the people here have experienced at least one bet on street gambling and certainly know what risks there are.
to bet on street gambling is actually not a problem as long as you bring a small amount and don't bring valuables. because usually in street gambling there are lots of people watching and usually around that group there are many pickpockets who are after your money.

but the better advice is to gamble in the most comfortable and safe places like online casinos.

Since street gambling is extremely risky, I avoid it myself and will never encourage anyone else to engage in such risky activities. But really, it's a lot of fun because you'll meet lots of gamblers with various gambling tendencies. In fact, street gambling is full of fraud, which is almost what courses fight against; if you are not intelligent enough, you cannot play at street gambling. When they used various strategies to win my money because I was a novice the first time I gambled on the street, I learned my lesson. Let me just say that street gambling is a popular pastime for evildoers and heartless people. even when playing street gambling, you rarely win much money.

Yes, but as you have said, risk is too high for players, it's very emotional game, even those who played and have known each other could argue during the game and hence it will be stop.

I have seen that kind of atmosphere before, they argue verbally, maybe the other party did something wrong and that's why players raised their voice. The thing is there is no physical altercation as far as I know. And then the next day, you will see that same set of players are again playing in the street and it quite funny though.

However, there are street games that is a complete hustle, from chess, to 3 card monte, now, that is what maybe a high risk game.

Am not really a fans of street gambling, anything can happen to you at moment, even when you win, you can easily be tracked to your house and be robbed, your life and your family members is at risk when you involve yourself in street gambling, that's why I prefer online gambling to street gambling, when you are gambling online, you can easily place your bet, and when you win your life is not at risk, you can easily withdraw your money from the gambling site to your account without anybody knowing, nobody will track you.

Street gambling is a exciting game. The only problem with it is that it has a hight risk involved. The street gambling games are not secured, violence can break out any moment. Someone who is loosing or lost in a street gambling is more likely to start a fight and ends the game. I have been involved in a street gambling before. The outcome of the game is usually not a good one.
From my experience, street gambling is not a nice idea.

No street gambling is not safe whether you are playing with unknown people or acquaintances when it comes to playing that can be considered risky, your safety should be your main concern, that is why we have physical casinos where people can feel safe, relax, and can unwind, street gambling not only has a lot of risks but you can encounter thugs and cheaters and you have no control of the situation, sometimes spectators of the game are the one that will cause trouble so it's better not to play in streets.

Even if you know most of the players out there, but you can’t have an assurance that you won’t be cheated since street gambling has no fixed rules and there’s no gambling managers or supervisors that will secure the transparency of the games. That is why some street gamblers end up being cheated and harassed especially in places where there are no authorities assigned. So I’d rather chose gambling in reputable casinos than in streets gambling where risks are high and are very dangerous to play.

Street gambling is not about gambling, but about pickpocketing. When you or someone gambles, others try to steal other persons wallets or mobiles. This is a proof that "casino always win" Cheesy

As dealer and thief's work together. If it is not about pickpocketing, then the dealer definitely knows how to cheat. Street gambling isnt risky, it is 100% loss for someone and 100% win for "casino".

I also gambled many times in the street. Although nothing like what you shared happened to me personally, there are indeed many instances of heated arguments, contestations, etc. I can't remember of any moment where I got involved in a serious physical fight because of street gambling, but there are already a number of instances where a gambler, usually a cheater or suspected to be a cheater, got killed.

If I generalize it, I would really say that street gambling is extremely risky.

With the advent of online gambling, the number of gamblers on the streets has decreased ্tremendously. Moreover, now a gambler can easily conduct gambling in a comfortable environment, so it is safer to do it at home rather than risking gambling on the streets. But some people still gamble on the streets and there are occasional reports of negative behavior. If a gambler gambles on the street despite the risk, he will be responsible for any incident.

It can only be safe when it is well organized and there are authorities participating in it, we do it in our fiesta where there are color games and number games, but there are local guards and police officers to overlook the situation, of course, there is curfew and can only be done in a limited time to avoid complaints from neighbors, but if you're playing in a non-organized street gambling there's a risk of fights because you do not know the character of people you're playing and they might accuse you of cheating if they lose.

Don't know about your places but in our country or mostly government don't organise these sorts of gambling related activities or gave permission to them so it's whole your risk based bets.The street gambling has it's own risk and I have not played in any of them because the main reason is if you win big what's the guarantee you will get the amount or you won't forcefully ask to give it someone? So according to me also it's not advisable to anyone from my side.

I see your point exactly. Who knows if you win big, can you take the entire earnings or you needed to spare some of it for someone? That's really possible to happen. Street gambling is something that added risk aside from the actual one when placing your bet, I don't know but again it will be depending from how you see opportunities and how good you are in handling every risk that it takes when you decided to play in street gambling.

this has also been discussed in other threads but to be honest nothing is safe as long as you play on the streets, let alone street gambling even for other things as long as you show your money on the streets it will provoke a crime against you, so you should never play street gambling because Gambling is now much easier to be able to use a smartphone without having to bother leaving the house let alone playing on the streets because the risk is very high.

The fact that online gambling has been on the boom from many years now and even more with the coming of crypto means that every other form of gambling have seen a decrease during such time.As such I am a person that to be clean from any possible problem that may come from street gambling or some underground illegal rings that organize different way of gambling in an illegal way is to keep playing from the comfort of your home laid down in your couch and enjoying and thinking extremely quiet before placing the bets.This way you will have higher chances to win in sport gambling because in other games they rely on luck.

yes, maybe in the past people used cash to play gambling on the streets or even people deposited money from bank transfers. Sometimes in certain countries, gambling is prohibited. It's really very worrying if you make a deposit through a bank account. The arrival of crypto makes gambling on the street and others in leave it because everything is made easy using crypto and mobile alone gives a sense of security without any risk of crime.

Well, here in my country it is considered illegal playing street gamblings even if you are inside you're own house there's still a possibility that you'll be raided and get arrested.

There was this event happened about a week ago when one of my neighbors celebrated their birthday, and they were just playing mahjong for fun. The thing is after the birthday ended it was the day after that event, cops came in and took the table coz they were still playing, 4 got arrested and guess what's the penalty? $1k per head, and since there are 4 of them that makes it $4k in total.

The sad part is that they're only playing for fun and the overall money taken from that game is just measly $30, and worst is that they were taken into custody and had to stay inside the cell for 3 days and 2 nights, coz they need to gather enough money first to pay for the bail. It's just unfair if you think about it, coz there's no warning and they didn't even bother to warn them first.

Not only mahjong, but also games like bacarrat, roulette, and cards are all prohibited.

Unbelievable! It's incredible how a simple game can have such severe repercussions. It's heartbreaking that your neighbors suffered so much for having fun.

We must evaluate laws to see if they benefit society. Certain laws are vital for order and safety, but others may be outdated and harmful. We must always think critically and challenge the status quo.

"Playing with fire" describes this situation. When you contemplate the regulations and their severe penalties, even mahjong can have unintended repercussions.

So I say this because I didn't see street gambling as a good metier.
Online gambling is a bit good, because you can restrict your browser from anything gambling

In terms of privacy, ones safety and a few other things id say online gambling is better. But I'm the case of getting addicted both street gambling and online gambling are the same.

I feel the online gambling has more tendency of getting one addicted since you can freely engage in gambling activities without having to leaving your surroundings, you can lay down on your couch and still be gambling you can be inside your library and still be active in your gambling site. And also online gambling has eliminated that fear of getting into trouble when you engage in gambling, and you don't get to see anyone fight or quarrel over a lost bet.

That's why I wouldn't bet on the street. Where I live I have only seen street betting run by bad looking people and in the news I have seen reports where they explain how in most cases they rip people off. On top of that, if you feel cheated and protest, your physical integrity is in danger, so it's not worth it. Better in a casino, which has a legal licence and administrative supervision.

On top of that, this.
