Topic: The Latest Game in my Country: Bottle Flip - page 2. (Read 550 times)

Each country definitely has unique bets that don't exist in other countries, so if we find these unique bets, we will feel strange because we have never found them anywhere else. This is normal, especially if we have never traveled to other places where people still make traditional bets, so it will seem unusual to us. Apart from that game, there may be other local games that are also related to gambling, so this will add to the list of local gambling games that are still often played by local people. They can also still enjoy the game with their friends so that local gambling games will not be erased over time.

You can bet on it for money or other benefits just like other gambling game. I have seen some people in relationship playing the game and even couples and they would bet to rip off their clothes one after the other. There are some videos on Facebook or YouTube on it. So it could also be turned into a tournament game.


This game is fair enough and may not be manipulated. It modus of play is understood by both party. It is just to flip the plastic container and for it to stand back on its bottom and if it doesn't it means it is a lose. So it is fair enough to understand and bet on.


There is possiblity for that, it only requires creativity to properly organise the game and make it rules more detailed.

This is also popular game here in my country but I haven't seen people using real money to bet but what works here is that they put foods on the table and if the bottle stands still you are allowed to eat. Flipping bottle that bets with real money is for me quiet fun and it looks like cara y cruz.

Yes, that's right, as long as it's fun, I don't think there's any problem with games like bottle flipping because it's no different from the coin flip game because it's often played by many people like where I live, there are even lots of strange games that we've never heard of. Every time a certain village and country appears in public, perhaps this game of flipping the bottle is very natural to play.

A lot of what we see is bottle flip gambling on social media, usually they don't bet money but bet with others, for example who wins, they drink and so on, that's how gambling doesn't always exist in online or offline casinos because everything has the potential to become gambling if we want it even with just guessing the sound of a frog can be gambling. 

If I want to place this bottle flipping in gambling, because of bet that is involved, I'll have to categorize it in sports bet, because the game requires practice and the players can become professionals in it. It's definitely different from casino games that doesn't require any special skills to play.

I've seen kids flipping plastic bottles that are half filled with sand, in my area. This is an innocent game that kids play to pass time and have fun, now adults might turn it to gambling. But who am I to complain, after all football that kids play in the neighborhood for fun is also a professional game that adults bet millions to predict the outcome of matches.

this seems like just a game but if it is used for betting in your country there is actually nothing wrong with it and I remember in a thread telling about the madness of gamblers who bet on unnatural things like betting on how many times a frog croaks etc. and this bottle flip game is one that gamblers can use to bet, but it is one of the unnatural bets, meaning that not everyone or all gamblers place bets on this game.

In my country there is also a game like this but I have never seen anyone betting on a game like this. Usually we play this when we are hanging out with friends and the loser will be given a certain challenge or drink 1 glass of water, usually we prepare 1 gallon of water to drink per glass if we lose. It's a fun game

In my country, gambling is an illegal activity so no one connects real gaming with betting. So this game is just entertainment and fun

Thank for your full explanation of the bottle flip game. It is a very simple to understand but it is not easy to play and win as some commented the game is fishy and so on. Well it was the game of the season in which people were playing to pass time. Some were even saying that it is not a gambling game but I will not argue with anyone but the gamblers used money to bet on the game and anyone who stand the bottle then is the winner of the game so I see it as a gambling game.

My explanation of how the flip bottle game is being played. Is about throwing the canned bottled water up and allowing it to stand on its feet. The bets are usually on low stakes. People don't stake much on it because it can be played for hours in a stretch without stopping.

Staking with low money is what people who are into it do. Kids are the ones that play it most. I wonder how a grown-up would want to play such a game. Grown-ups playing it should be for fun, nothing again.

Full explanation of how the bottle flip is been played
The bottle flip game is being played by throwing up the canned bottle for it to stand erect(as displayed in the post), if the canned bottle stands erect, you win but if it falls, you lose.

You flip the canned bottle up and your opponent flips theirs(with the same canned bottle). If you flip and it fails, you give it to your opponent to flip theirs. If you flip and the canned bottle stands, you win.

To declare you as a winner of the flip bottle game will depend on how many times, you and your opponent would agree to have the canned bottle stand erect at a stretch. It can be 2 to 6 times, depending on how you and your opponent choose it.

To be able to achieve that, the canned bottle should have some water in it(as displayed). I hope you have understood it fully since the OP hasn't explained it to you yet

It's pretty dull if the kids play in binary and win the pot. They play it differently in groups, you'll see it on social media where the ones who could make the bottle stand, will have the opportunity to eat the tray of food and he'd have to stop whenever someone got it right for its someone else turn.

Its just for fun, not really for gambling but I think they could as well just share a pot for the winner.

This topic seems kind of fishy to me, how sure is OP that this bottle flipping craze is all over the country? Because I feel like this game is just too mundane to be a craze in the gambling scene in a country not to mention that it's a pretty simple game that you can easily win if you have the skill to consistently do a flip and besides what you've said, it's a step too far but if we're given more context about this game maybe we will see why this is the thing that's making craze all over OP's country.

If it's a gambling game and even if it is for children, it's better that whoever organizes this game in those areas shouldn't allow kids to gamble. Yes, don't allow them to gamble because it can be their practice as they grow old and it will be brought onto their practice and it's hard to remove when that happens. They should be allowed to play the game of flipping the bottle but when you guys know that there's betting involved, you should discourage the kids not to do it anymore because that's something else and it's more than a game. Any amount shouldn't be tolerated and even if we are gamblers and we advocate to gamble only what they can afford to lose, they're still kids and we should stop them as soon as possible that we start to know them that they're doing it with a bet. Because you'll never know what type of attitude it will bring to them when they start enjoying the game with some bets and they don't have money to bet for. It is going to be like a requirement to them to gamble with bets and what if they don't have money to bet? Where they are going to get that? From their parents? or worst, do something that we don't like just for them to have money to bet for.

Yes it is, as the bottle flip game is for children. I believe that it has nothing to do with gambling. Gambling is for adults and also for people above the age of 18 (18+). In this case, I still agree that the game is for fun, just like other gamblers here are still saying it is for fun also.
Since the children don't have the money to go to any casinos or a gambling center to have fun, they just use the bottle flip game to keep themselves company.

Bottle flipping is widely accepted as a children's game but that's currently not the case at the moment as a lot of adults now play the game not just for the fun of the game but for the gambling purposes. I've seen group of adults who converges to stake money and whoever flips the bottle and sees it stand straight wins the round. It's been adopted by many adults here as it isn't a new gambling method again.

This is just a children play and not a real gambling. Bottle Flipping is just a game of fun which children and any interest led adult can us e it to pass time and not for any gambling. Though in the process of having the fun, money can be use to challenge each to know who is perfect in the flipping. And whenever bottle flipping game is played people use to stay behind and watch who is the best flipper. And nothing more.

Therefore we should not take all fun games as gambling.

well, people need to find an entertainment so they need to be creative when it comes to finding such game. but yes, this simple game can turn to a lucrative one if people will be betting big money. so long they are not harming anyone, no problem with this game. it will be good also when it comes forming camaraderie among youngsters.

Some gamblers will do the mistake by using the basic needs money in to casino.They often forget the fact the casino had both victory or loss option.If they win,their family will had good food for the extra period of time.But if the betting money was loss in the casino it leads to the no food.Which is harder one compared to food for longer period.If you have enough money for the basic needs,then you can choose the game for the entertainment.Some people join the small bet game to avoid of big loss at the initial stage.

Here is one example of bottle flipping they are so popular on social media that it can be done by families and your circle of friends, in this case, there is no money involved because the video will be flagged by Facebook if there's money involved because it can be reported as gambling which is a violation on Facebook's terms, and these friends are having fun and what at stake is the chance to take a bite on the food that is on the table.

There are many variations of this game like drinking your favorite drink If you flip it correctly sometimes you get a penalty like a slap of a pie in the face, It is fun, and it's a good way to have fun with friends which is why it become viral.

in the last few months I have seen this game a lot, but in the videos that I could see, people bet on food, so even if the game involved betting and and that is a game that does not bring, 100% guaranteed victory, even so putting it in a casino for that people bet on it would hardly have customers, by that I mean the following: this is a game for fun, even if people bet money it would not be considered a game of chance because its difficulty level is very low, people who participate in this game easily manage to dominate the game to the point of being able to hit consecutively, but there is another way in which this same game could enter the sports betting category

for example, if we place two people to play this game, then we place betting markets for this event, we could place the market to bet on which of the two will win; then we could put the market on how long it will take to have a winner and in how many rounds we would have a winner, doing that would already be considered a game of chance and yes it could even be listed in some casino. with that, when there was an event of this type, the bettor could watch videos of the games of each challenger and analyze the skills of each challenger

and then he would choose which challenger he thinks will win the game, in my opinion this is the only way to look at this game as a game of chance and also the only way to see it being added to a bookmaker, for now it seems to me that nobody thought about it and seeing that this is something that has been around for years so I suppose nobody is interested in taking it seriously to the point of making it in the bookmakers, so we will look at it as just a game with the purpose of fun without financial compensation

I've been seeing a lot of videos on platforms like TikTok and YouTube regarding this game, but they don't make any bets, most of them just have a bunch of food on a table in front of them and there are a bunch of people taking turns trying to flip the bottle and whoever does it successfully starts eating the food until someone else flips the bottle successfully and takes the charge in eating, lol. It's fun to watch and it must be fun to play as well but I have no personal experience with it.

I'm not sure how one can bet real money using this game, but I'm thinking maybe there will be a round of 3 or something where whoever does 2 flips first wins the money while there can only be two people playing for this. If there are more than two, there should be some other way around it.
