The other day I was playing in the middle village at night, and saw a group of old people gathered at a night watch post, they were playing cards, I thought they were not gambling, just playing cards, but the longer I was there it turned out that they were gambling, with the losing bet having to give the winner 3 packs of cigarettes, after a while they got bored and raised the bet using money, this is one form of gambling that I have not tried in the real world with the traditional style, I then joined in the game, it seems more exciting in experiences like this.

Have you ever tried something like this and gambled without a casino?
This kind of gambling is very old in my area and I remember when we used to indulge in it as a student in the university, but one bad thing about it when compared to gambling with a casino is that in a casino, you can quit when you want, but in this one, you cannot quit until all your funds are drained, and even if you want to quit before your funds are drained or, then you must return all the funds you gained from other the multiple times you won, after settling out you may even go empty handed while others continue gambling with your hard earned funds. In my area then, it leads to serious fights when a gambler wins so much and wants to quit to utilize his funds for better thing. I do not know who set those rules, but it's very much observed, and this singular act discouraged me from getting more involved in the gambling aspect of playing cards as a student.
