Lack of security is the main problem but the good part is you are playing against each other and not against the house like in casinos where you have a lower chance to win.
Another problem is the difficult way to bounce once you won. Gamblers tend to stick until all their money and assets are gone. I have witnessed something happen like the keys to the car are what they are putting in the line, their blings, or sometimes even their limited shoes.
Imagine if they lose it, will they really be trustworthy enough to give up those things? Yet, they won't let you get away until you deal with them again.
It's scary and could become bloody, especially in places where guns are allowed.
Topic: Street Gambling Risk - page 4. (Read 626 times)
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.
This is the reason gamblers sometimes choose to move to online gambling which is more private and no one knows we are gambling for fun.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.

Even though online gambling also has risks, the risk is only losing some of the money we can afford to lose at gambling.
But in live gambling or street gambling there are lots of risks that we have to get, not only will our money be lost but our lives will also be threatened.
You're right and I've watched a copple of street cock fights that ended in bloodsheds though this games where in television but I'm sure same things also happen in real life.
I don't blame street games neither do I even have any intentions of playing them but I we had this popular dive rolling game we played back then iny neighborhood and it was really an interesting game then also lead to see.mimor quarrels and even fights as at wheh we were little with relatively no physical cash available. There were times I really kicked so hard against children involving in street fights and gambling because I think most of this wrong mindset are gotten from those little gathering.
There are alot of risk involved in street gambling and anyone getting involved should be aware.

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.

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.

Wow, I've been imagining this scene now and it seems to me to be quite disturbing to the point of looking like a scene from an action movie.
You just needed to say where this happened, because I was quite curious.
In my country (Brazil) gambling is prohibited, so we will never see scenes of gambling taking place in the open, the most we have are some bars and other clandestine establishments that have some slot machines that are out of sight of the majority of people, they only know that they exist who is trustworthy in the place.
I believe that the legalization of gambling can help solve problems like the one you mentioned, as long as there is government incentive for legal practices and strict laws for non-compliance with them.
Of course street gambling is a risk. All it takes is one sore loser with a mental or drug problem to turn your win into inflicted harm. That being said, street gambling is a lot more fun of an experience if the crowd is peaceful and everyone is there for fun. Either way. Be careful!
Street gambling is safe if no one will do some sh*t there.
However, there are really instances that at some cases, things goes wrong and that's it.
Being safe or not would be subjective, so better just take care always during a street gambling session.

That argument is true, street gambling can either safe or not depending from the kind of people who surrounding you, as long as you are taking care of your own security you can still enjoy, while if you are unaware and just playing without any observation within the vicinity the chance that you'll be fall from those attackers is possible.
Best to observe and just play for fun, I guess, that will lessen the chance of being in danger if you are just using a small amount of money
and just having some entertainment.

Street gambling is sometimes fun especially when you are going to play in group,at least you can have it in mind that nobody will bully you. Gambling on the street can improve your skill in the game because you will meet experts who are willing to teach you their winning strategy,if you ask them about how they won their games.
It is good that if you are gambling for the first time on that street, it is advisable that you go with little money, you should also be observant to see the kind of gamblers that are playing because on street gambling you will meet the good, the bad and the ugly. Though, it is risky and shouldn't be encouraged.

Government made gambling in public especially on street illegal because of several risk factor that may happen to people who are participating on the activity and people who are watching the activity. They see lots of possible risk like heated argument that can result in physical injury, murder or homicide. Gang or group war may also appear since in the early history of gambling this kind of event always happen. Often time street gambling occupy pathwalk and pedestrian needs to avoid them which may possibly cause an accident. It also emits noise which may irritate neighborhood and may trigger heated argument and assault. This are some of the possible thing that may happen when gambling is done in streets.
Regardless of if street gambling is dangerous or not on the account that you might get shivved after bagging a win or looking at your opponent the wrong way, there's no denying that there will still be people who will be into that kind of thing. To them, no risk is great enough to stop them, heck they are already taking risks gambling out in the open with the shadiest people you will find in the hood, might as well risk your safety as well to put the cherry on top right?
in any case, it's wrong and illegal and unsafe and untrustworthy yes, but there's money to be made in these games and where there's money, people will flock into it no matter how shady or crazy the premise is.

Usually, the people who are into this are the same people who grew up in that neighborhood. It's obvious that gamblers wouldn't really play on that setup unless they have friends that can vouch for them and protect them in an event of an altercation, but if you don't know anyone from that neighborhood, it's best to just stick with online casinos or traditional gambling platforms. I know these street gambling dens can deliver fast-paced, high stakes games but the safety is really not their first priority.
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.

If it's seen to be not okay on that particular then it should just be relocated somewhere else where it seems safe for those who really likes it. But if I've already heard that there are those incidents like harming the bettors, why would I still go?
My protection and safety is my priority and even if I like to gamble any moment, I'm making myself aware of the situation and it shouldn't be like that.
If you're aware of the dangers that it has, why still proceed? It's like you're looking for some fault for yourself to do with.

exactly! why would you risk your safety with this kind of gambling? now, that there are online casinos, much better to play on them rather than get involve in physical gambling in random streets where you don't know if you will get alive or not after winning a not so huge amount. this is why some prefer to do their gambling online, and be discreet with their activities. so long you know what you're doing, no one will know about your activities.
Life is tough, places, people and everything could be at their worst when they're at their baddest time. You'll never know that the people that you trust or random people in those places could be with you at all times or could do something else eventually for the sake of money.
We've got online gambling which is more comfortable and if you want to go to gamble places, just go those registered casinos where you're safe physically.

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,
The worst thing that could happen to a gambler is to lose your fund and also have yourself harmed, because just as you just describe how risky street gambling is in your location, I will likely say it's the same everywhere, which is why I won't encourage anybody now in this current modern age where a gambler can gamble freely on his mobile device than to go about playing street gambling. After all, by virtue, if you happen to win big in the public (street), you stand to be a potential target for both arm robbers, simply because they saw you winning that money.Actually, this is an easy one and it all depends on the place and who you play with.

So instead of gambling on the street, we have many reputable casinos on this forum that offer such games, such as (blackjack, lucky nine, and baccarat)

Is street gambling safe?
In most countries, street gambling is illegal, so the answer is definitely not safe. The risk of participating in street gambling is as stated by @OP, plus the possibility of being caught and jailed. There are lots of cases in my place where street gambling are often raided by the police and the gambler caught, even the bystander were fined or jailed if they failed to pay.
Aside from that prying eyes might target the winner of the gambling games and rob him of his winnings. There are also cases like these that sometimes happen and appeared in daily newspapers.

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.
Street game is one of the interesting games . It is lively, as the name implies, Street Game, it is where you will meet rough guys but all you have to do is just be careful, as you are playing once you notice in suspicious movement or activities from the opponent players, you have to stop your side of the game and leave the place immediately. Those fights that always happens on the street games are also making it more interesting. From my side of the gaming, street game is more saver than casino hall games.

To be honest, i have no experience with what you are telling in this thread. because in my place, there is no street gambling. but armed with the knowledge that I got from various information, be it friends, newspapers, even the media. gave me a little illustration, that the risks of street gambling are extreme.
Whatever is available in street gambling, can harm us. either as a spectator, or as a doer. that's why, the better choice to visit safer gambling. like land-based casinos for example, at least the atmosphere inside legal land-based casinos is different from that of street gambling. for sure, we will be given the best possible service as guests. so it is clear, that street gambling is very unsafe and it is not recommended to visit it. in fact, now we have been offered by online gambling. which is safer, more practical and easier to access without having to travel. so why should we choose the more dangerous risk, if one offers safer gambling.
