Topic: The Latest Game in my Country: Bottle Flip (Read 550 times)

This thread should be locked imo. Nothing new to add here. Besides it doesn't look like gambling topic for discussion. What I know about this game is that it is more of a family and friends to just play during a picnic or breakout.

Bottle flip has already been existing before now, but the influence of social media has made it more trending online because it's very funny and entertaining because you cannot always have the bottle stand with water in it halfway while flipping it, this game becomes more popular by the short comedy skit makers before everyone now set their interest in it to use their money to make bet it with it, what i dont know is wether if the casinos together with other online gambling platforms have been including this on their games list they supported.

We know that human beings are really that a fan of making something out of everything on which if they do able to create something that looks interesting then gambling or kind of betting would really be applied and this is something which is normal. Bottle flipping is something that i have seen in Youtube on which it is really just that a sort of hobby on making up some tricks or whatsoever.
I didnt really just that able to expect that it do becomes or reach out into a point that it is really that involving betting now or something that do talks about gambling.
I dont see for this one to be interesting and its true that once you do able to achieve such flipping then it would really becomes boring.

Just because we watch these videos and they seem to be for fun doesn’t mean that some people don’t gamble behind it. I hope you understand that it is gambling once something is at stake and the probability to get it is at least 50/50? You don’t have to bring out physical cash for it to be gambling; it’s possible that in your game where the temporary winner eats until there’s a new winner, it could be that the food there is contributed money and that’s where the game is. My example may not be perfect but playing the game as even cash gamble is not unusual.

People are so funny, because they will do anything instead of working or doing something useful One lazy guy spend time flipping bottle and it became TikTok and Instagram trend. Id say this can be fun, first few minutes. Only if you are a person that likes challenges. Because after you succeed in bottle flipping first time, the game becomes boring. If the boys and girls in your country find this game fun, entertaining and it kills all their time, just imagine how their heads gonna explode when they find out about the existence of the Internet and all its content.

What even more funny, that people turn this time killer into gambling. This seems like a sort of illegal scam street gambling. Similar to variations of thimblerig and scam challenges like "hang for X seconds, win a prize."

If you want to lose your money, place bet on bottle flipping, you will instantly regret, some people are so good at this game that they will only lose if they feel like losing, this is just a game of fun to waste time away, do not bet money on this game, unless both players are new to the game because it's easier to get really good at it.

Local games are so much fun, not just this bottle flipping game but few other local games, but placing bet on such games isn't good as it's not fair, I still prefer placing bets on ludo and Whot game, and the money isn't even up to $0.5, not the amount to feel weird about if you lose.

I like such games because you can play with your friends, there is no battling with the house, it's more exciting than trying to win the house.

You should at least read about the game above first, it is not a game that is played from a particular application but a local game that may be played in certain countries, apart from that this game is very similar to the coin flipping game where it is also played in almost every country by people. local people, usually it's just an entertainment game, not for gambling, but there are some who use the game for gambling.

If you are a new user on this forum, at least don't do unnecessary spam, read first before commenting anything on this forum, at least avoid your account from being banned on this forum, I don't understand why many spam accounts on this forum come to make posts without having to read what this thread means.  

I think this is just a reality game and it will not be fun if it is not in reality. All you just have to do is to get a bottle, not glass bottle but plastic. Pour water to the bottle to one third of it and you people will be flipping it until the person that flip it and the bottle do not fall but stand still be the winner. It is as easy as that.

I've searched this video how it works and how money involves in this game.

Please visit here.


You're right! every activity that involves monetary value is considered as gambling. Based on what I've watch, it seems fun and interesting that's why kids are enjoying playing it, Same to some adults because it shows different stages and ways on how you have to flip the bottle to get the money prize. I Think this is small kind of indoor activity with a twist of gambling because money is involved.

Games like this have actually been popular for long time, such as games where you spin bottle on the floor or on table to determine the winner, but games like this are not for gambling but just for fun doing challenges with friends or family.
If it is related to gambling, this game cannot be used for gambling because anyone can do it and it is faster to spend money when someone plays with money, besides I don't think anyone will ever want to play with money in this game.

So, like on TikTok or other social media that broadcasts this game, it is only for entertainment, not for betting.
I still doubt whether the people in the country OP lives in are really gamblers who can't play other games and so use bottle flip games to gamble money.
I personally would never place bet in this kind of game.

I know it was trending in any country before, I just don't know now if it still resonates because I still see people doing it on social media.

Yes, it's fun to play and even a child can do it, but for me it's too easy to do because I've done it several times before. You don't need luck in this game because once you see or know the timing it will be easy for you. And yes, this game can also bet money.

This was our game when I was young when trying to find who will win to take advantage engaging
 with the new Chick in town lol , and yes I kept winning for how many times we have this game  .

but to consider this with betting? I mean to be gambled with money am not sure if there will be
others that doing it here now .because its not that exciting because wins can be distinguish easier if lucky.

Yes this was being popularized in social media recently specially in pandemic that people took advantage to what they will be popularizing to gain attention and support .

There are many types of local games played by people, maybe it is one of them that maybe other people have seen on social media and also used for betting, but unfortunately this local game is not included in online gambling even though there is something similar that I saw was the coin flip game because There are coin flip games on certain gambling sites and this bottle flip is not yet available in online gambling.

Don't expect that gambling with local games can be added to online gambling, especially since there are tournaments for their games because not everyone likes them even though there aren't many. That's the reason why online gambling doesn't add such local games, but as I said, only local games like that. coin flip in online gambling compared to the bottle flip game.

It really depends how one plays this game. If people are only playing for fun (as most of children do), then we cannot say that it is gambling. However, if two or more parties, bet on the bottle flip game, and put money on the game, then of course it will fall under gambling.

Anyways, you find such games available for betting on gambling sites as there are no international tournaments for such games where people can watch and bet on them. These are locally played games among individuals and in many parts of the world, many people won't even know about it.

Let’s remember that gambling comes with the unknown outcome that may or may not favour you. This game is just about the same. On TikTok, I’ve seen people play the game and it always has a price (but you’ll lose nothing other than losing your turn). But OP has mentioned that they actually bet real money which means someone has the potential to lose their money or win money, hence, it falls under the gambling discussion.

or maybe what OP has experienced or knows about is the first time seeing betting on this bottle flipping game whereas what I know is that this is just a game that has been around for a long time, even in various countries they already know about this game, its just that its probably very rarely used for betting and OP might surprised by such a novelty

yes, that how a real gambler (not an addict) will gamble on something that they think is interesting to bet on and gives them a pleasant sensation, having fun with their friends and I am sure you've experienced betting on a unique game like this, even just once.

I really do not see this as a professional game but just a street game which is mostly done by the street dwellers just to catch fun as it is a random type of game.  Although I have seen many celebrities do this in my country for fun online via their social media handles to entertain their fans and followers strictly for fun and it is done with some little kind of rewards for putting the object upright till another contender flips it upward correct but I  have not really seen anywhere money was put in play as a reward for getting it to flipped correctly or have you seen anywhere or have you heard of any before.

Agreed, I only saw this game play by influencers and on some party event but never saw one with bet although everything can be use as gambling if it’s involved luck and skills at the same time.

Track field is now common gambling games here in my area which people bet on a runner that run on the street with a given time. I will not be surprised if some country use this game for gambling purposes since my country use other odd games just to gamble.

Flipping the bottle is more of an interesting game in my own place and most occasions their will be a food set aside or a gift for who ever their bottle is flipped and it is standing will get a price or pick a chicken. And hearing now that they use it for gambling am surprised. But it is going to be interesting and I could not stop laughing after I saw the part you said people bet on how many times a frog croaks, anything can be be gamble on and I noticed that as far as they find joy in what they are doing then I don't think  that should be a problem. Gambling is sweet but should not go beyond, then it becomes bad. I would have love to flipp if I will win.

Some games are like that. They came out, got popular, disappear, and luckily made a come back. One of it is this game we are talking about here. Some games are age dependent and will be better if they remain like that because they have some disadvantages.

For this game here, I see no disadvantages, so it's fine if all ages can get involved with it. It's better if kids can get involved in it because it helps them to exercise and build some good skills, as we know kids nowadays ( they are mainly expose to radiation ) caused by the gadgets and they only slack at one place/positions. IDK if what is the latest game in my country right now. All I can see is kids are only playing with their iPads and mobile phones which is sad to see. .

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.

So, bottle flipping has resurrected in your nation, and you're enamored by it? Fascinating. It's the simplistic games that have the power to captivate, isn't it? Yet, I must say, intertwining a child's game with betting is a step too far. And adults are leading this parade, exploiting an innocent pastime for financial gain

In my region? The current rage? Does it even matter when we witness such alarming blurring of boundaries elsewhere? It's paramount to recognize the potential pitfalls of these harmless endeavors. Yes, enjoy the game, but remain vigilant against its potential misuse!

The game is really interesting. When looking at people playing it, it might look childish, but when you start playing it, that’s when you will see the interesting aspect. I do try the game with my friends sometimes when we meet just to have fun, and seriously, it’s really interesting. People do gamble with different things when flipping a bottle. Most people don’t really use money to gamble, they use crazy things like food and other things. Food might be prepared, and anyone who flips the bottle and the bottle stand will be allowed to eat a particular portion of the food prepared. Seriously, the game is interesting, and it’s been played by both young people and adults, rich and poor, even celebrities play it just for fun.

Before it was cup stacking that made a buzz in the world of children games, they even made a tournament for that game on who is the fastest and now this, bottle flip. Yes, I have seen this a lot of times on Youtubers, Tiktokers, and other vloggers. It's a type of game that  had been making a fuzz in the social media department. But truly this ain't a new game anymore. It had been done by a lot of kids ever since bottled water was invented.
Now, I don't how this can be injected in a gambling site because I doubt they will but yes if two guys needs to break a tie this could be a helpful game.
Betting on who will flip it first could also be one scenario. I think the hardest one is flipping it upside down, standing with the bottle cap on the floor.

Is there any different between glass and breakable bottle? It is plastic bottle and the way Oshosondy explain is correct. You pour water inside the bottle for like one inch and fllp the bottle and make sure that the bottle stand and not to fall. The players can use money or only for fun. It is interesting game.

It is not hard at all and I can see it on many YouTube short videos. Do not mind that, I watch YouTube and I hardly watch TikTok.

You will pour water in a bottle up to one quarter (not glass bottle but unbreakable bottle). The more you continue to pour the water the harder will be the chance the bottle will be able to stand if you flip it. Then you will be flipping the bottle until it stands and not fall.

On YouTube or TikTok, just search for flipping bottle challenge and you will see many of the games.

As long this do mentions about money or having that involvement about wagers or something then it would really be considered gambling but its true that lets see on how moderators do see this stuff whether it would really be that relevant into this board or not, but for me then it is really just considerable since we are talking gambling on here. Speaking about that bottle flipping then i have seen tons of this in youtube even those young kids
do really make out such trick and there were even more harder versions of this. I dont really see this to have that 50/50 chance knowing that this could really be learned up and the odds of making that bottle stands is high and making out some betting in between other people wont really be giving out that fair bets because you do sure that you could really be able to stand that bottle or make it fall.Does depend on who would be the ones to flip and who would be the ones that will be making out such bet. It is really hard to be applied because if you do deal up with someone who could make out control of the bottle his flippin then it would be a disadvantage, unless if the rules would be definitely be having that changing up those bottles and the different amount of liquid inside of it then it would really be considerable or something that should be fair.

This looks like it's a game of luck, but no it isn't. Anybody who has tried it out would know and realize that after a few flips, you would be able to determine how strong you should start out to make it so that the bottle flips properly the way you want it to. Maybe if it was randomized with varying levels of weight and only like, two, three tries (with no practice), then it could become a possible game suitable for gambling, but eh, I don't really think it would gain traction as a gambling game. Might work on a small group though, since it is kind of fun once you get into it.

I know there's some gaming elements to it but lol to take it to the gambling world is just a new extreme for me. It was a massive phenomena too back in 2016 and it was all the rage on the Internet. Had some of my close friend groups actually play it in between classes and we'd link it with the "here come dat boi" meme as well for kicks. Ahh those were the times.

I'm not sure if this game will ever take the traction it once has in the past but if it does, this could mean big for people, but since there's strategy involved in this game rather than blind luck I think it fits the sports glove better than a gambling game, since people who are pro at this could just eat the whole class in one go for some situations.

here are several games that children and even adults play in my country and they often involve making bets on them. So far, I haven't seen anyone playing bottle flip games here but there are definitely other games like playing with small rocks or just card games in my country.

I find the bottle flip game to be so fun to be honest. I would like to try it with someone and see if I'm skillful at it or not. It's obviously not purely based on luck, but rather on skills.

Simply proves that any game could be a form of gambling as long as money is involved or even a consequence of the outcome. Not the latest but as I grew up, I saw different activities such as cockfighting, spider-fighting, horse-racing, and the likes. Even with outcomes of an event such as winner of a tournament nd pageants to give you an example. Almost everything could be gambled for; it only takes two or more parties having different point of views or contrast belief of a certain topic. Gambling is not limited to money alone. As I've said it is about the consequence wherein you could earn something and lose something, depending on the outcome.

You can bet on any game. Any activity can be used for gambling and I have seen people bet on this game. The game is not as easy as you think and the rules can be changed to make it difficult. Like the level of the water can be reduced or increased. The surface the bottle will land on can be altered to make it difficult to win.

OP included that some people bet on this game, which means it is a form of gambling. Not seeing it on any crypto gambling site doesn't also disqualify it as gambling. Casinos can adopt new gambling games they think is okay. This thread can serve as a source of ideas for some game developers or casinos. My only reservation for this game is that it can encourage underage gambling.

Please, include a video link of people playing bottle flip, so those who don't know the play can understand how it works.

Every games which involve a competition or challenge among different players is possible to be gambled. If bottle flip is an interesting and addictive play, I'm sure many people are going to have disposal to bet on it, however it has to become more popular first. Personally, it's the first time I'm hearing about it. I have never seen people around playing bottle flip on my country. Here people are more into soccer most of the time.

OP said that people are "sometimes using money to bet" so I guess we can still consider this as a form of gambling. Even though the game is not really new, I think many people are still not betting on it. And that may be the reason on why it is not included by the casinos.

The mechanics of the game is too simple but unlike other simple games, I can't seem to appreciate this one or I find it boring. Sorry OP but the game seems like relying mostly on the skill of the player so there is a potential to make money on it if we take this seriously. I can't only imagine if how can this work online but maybe it will be played live like sports betting.

I guess @OP could make a video explaining how kids and adults play the game in his place. Thus we can see whether it is included in gambling, even though the ones playing are children.

But a traditional game, as @OP said, won't use money, especially if children play it because the supervision of every parent in my environment is very strict. They don't allow their kids to gamble as adults do, and none of my kids use the money to play.

I've seen this on tiktok I know some may stake in this game but I wouldn't take it seriously like a bet on it. It's fun watching the game and seeing them take turns in making the bottle stand but this is not for me. It's just for fun that it can be done at a party where your friends are already drunk.

But I tried doing it with the soda bottle some time ago but never really get to make it stand. I take a skill probably like control of the bottle in order to win.

Op this game is just for fun and both young and old are playing it this days, I think the reason on why op dropped this bottle flip here on this board might be because he might have seen people placed bet on it in his locality.
 I think people are placing their bets on this bottle flip more especially now that both the young and old are playing it, this was how whot gambling started just from fun to stakeing of bet so I have no dauth that people are placing their bets on bottle flip now.

We have the coin flip version in the casino but that latest trend in your country used to be a trend in my country I used to bet against a friend but always lose I'm not really good at bottle flipping you need to give more time to practice the technique, I once saw on Tiktok about this bottle flipping where people are lining up to take their turn and do bottle flipping
and the one who flips it standing will take a bite of delicious food that is served on the table, it's a big hit on the internet.
But this is several months ago this trend will come to pass as so many new trends are being introduced in social media.

This is similar to a coin flip game, but bottle flipping is more challenging, making it more interesting. However, as this is a gambling discussion board, please review the rules to determine if it's appropriate for discussion here. If not, kindly move it to the appropriate section. It would make sense if there's a gambling site that offers this kind of game or perhaps provides betting odds for a live game. I don't know for sure.

Yes, this has been trending for the last couple of years, but not sure if people are really gambling or this one or just have some fun playing it. Although it can turn into gambling if money is involved and this could be considered as games of skills as well.

And on the side note, seen Lebron doing the bottle flip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNLs9Uux7p4

Take note that was 2016, that's why I said that this is kinda late.

Like Oshosondy said, this is not a real gambling game to be bet on; it's not at any casino. I have not seen this kind of game in my country. The only thing I know is that this thing is trending on social media, particularly TikTok, and I see some groups of friends organising it like a competition among themselves. They can decide to add money to it to make it more fun, so that if you can flip more than five times, then you will have the money. Apart from that, I don't see this as real gambling. It's just something that can be done by friends to while away their time of leisure.

It used to be a trending game I watched on Facebook and Tiktok but this is a skill-based gambling game, just by continuous practice you can become good at flipping a bottle I consider this a parlor game on fiesta or birthday occasions and people can bet money who is good in flipping game but when people how see how good you are, people will not challenge you anymore because its a skill-based

Yeah, this is not gambling material since the player can get skilled enough to successfully flip the bottle. Gambling is basically a game of chance, so if the skill element is noticeable, no house will host the game. However, if you want to PvP bottle flip, then it's doable for sports betting...

This is a domestic game and it makes no sense to bet your money on such game, it's just for fun and believe me anyone can easily get good at it, you don't want to bet money on such game, even my little cousin can throw 20 times and win it 20 times, I do believe this topic is better in off-topic than gambling.

This is a local game carried out for fun just like other activities.  All games do not qualify as sports that can be gambled on professionally, the only gambling that can be done on these games are the local and domestic gambling that is unregulated in most cases and can be dangerous for the young people who indulge in these games because it introduces them to gambling and becomes gateway for them to become gambling addicts.

Whenever these games are played around Children, any kind of monetary betting should not be included, so these children do not pick up the habit. Children can easily pick up habits from home than from outside.

The only game which resembles somewhat this type of game if I understood correctly is Coin Flip which honestly not many casinos have it,they have the dice game which can also be considered somewhat similar.In my country these type of games that were playing on the street and with money was the one where they hide the coin in three different cups and the guy operating the cups was asking you where is hidden the coin,if you find it correctly you win money and if not you lose the bet,many people become addicted to this up to a level that even people killed each other from the rage and at that moment the police intervened and these games are not allowed since 1992 if I recall correctly.

I would like to see a digital version of this game to see if it can be possible to turn this into a new online gambling game. They can alter the level of water for every spin to make it less predictable and they can make it PvP to make it more fun. (The participants pay an entrance fee that goes into the pot for the house)

We have played this as part of a drinking game, so I know how difficult this can get after a couple of shooters.    This is a typical example of how something as simple as a plastic bottle and some water, can provide joy to lots of people in a impoverished country. 

If in that game you bet, you play with money, even if it is sometimes as the OP said, I understand that it makes sense for it to be here.

Could you explain what it is, OP? Is it about throwing the bottle and having it land on its feet? Or catching it in your hand? What kind of bets are usually involved? As it is a game that looks like a street game I imagine it will be low stakes.

I'm not sure how moderators would handle it, but since he included real money in the game, it's somehow okay? That would be the decision of the mods.

Initially, I was thinking of this as an application game where you could bet real money and just in the 50/50 chances or something. Like coins, where there are only heads or tails. It's probably more complicated than that, but it's a start.

Although this is just a pastime game which is purely for fun, who knows in the future if this could be introduced more formally in a competition or a tournament and betting sites would release odds and fans could bet on their favorite players?

Whenever I see games like bags or cornhole, I'm reminded that any game which is fair and requires a certain amount of skill or practice could indeed become some kind of sport.

In fact, I'd like to see bottle flip introduced as a popular competitive game than that butt slapping contest.

How is this topic related to gambling or gambling discussion? This is off-topic.

On local gambling sites, I do not see any gambling like this. On crypto gambling sites, there is nothing like this. This is just to make fun and nothing more. This is not about gambling except people that will use it to bet among themselves.

This game is not a new game in the world but the game is renouncing back and people are playing the game everywhere in my country. The good part of it is that, it is not only children that play the game and also adult both boys and girls playing the game to while time. There there are sometimes they bet with money to play the game, There are sometimes I also followed them to play while sometimes I stand andook them playing. The game is really fun and interested and children are playing it to forget their home labour at home. African Children with outside game, African Children Game Time.
What is the lastest game that is paying by both children and adults in your country? As I said Bottle Flipping game the lastest in my country.
