3 Days ago I have started gambling offline with local people who are professional gambler. I played almost whole night while at beginning I won about 20000 BDT. But those who are addicted on gambling forced us to play more and finally I became loser (lost 15000 BDT from the winning). Have you faced anything like this?
I have heard similar stories and seen people falling for the same thing where they win money initially but are forced to play more to eventually lose all their money.
But I want to ask you that what did they do when you denied them for gambling more ?
If you are determined not to play more, would they let you go or do something dangerous like threatening you or something.
The stories I heard are mostly where they threaten you or beat you to gamble more.
What I have seen is that in our country, four people together create a gambling party and four people start gambling there (especially in rural areas). I have seen them gamble for a long time, if necessary, they spend the whole night in that party. In the meantime, if anyone wants to come out, they stop him from coming out, but there is no threat of beating. The threat of beating is given only to those people who are completely harmless. Moreover, those who are a little influential or powerful are not threatened with beating. Maybe they say that they will not let him gamble with them again in the future. That's all. They will not beat him and will not threaten him.
The long and short of all this is simply to avoid offline and or street gambling because though there are some groups that are usually good and friendly, the fact remains that 99.9% of the hosts of this type of gambling are usually scammers who use the idea of a street game to threaten extort money from their victims.
Gambling online has proven to be the best form or way to gamble in some countries due to the privacy it provides, you don't have to talk of fight with anyone, it's simply you and the casino.
Though offline gambling do have it's own advantages, but personally, I would choose online gambling over and over again.
