When I was a teenager, my friend and I cooperated against a guy to win money from him, we won it but later the person won back both my money and my friend money. We were in high school at the time.
That was the last time that I remember that I gambled with someone offline. Since I am older, I prefer online gambling, I only play games with my friends and to make it become gambling has not happened before.
Offline gambling can be rigged and manipulated thats why I don't get involved in it...This also results in conflicts and unnecessary fights among people in order to maintain privacy and peace I prefer to gamble online...from your whole story it shows how offline gambling can be very dangerous..This is actually the reason why everyone prefers to gamble online instead of gambling with other people
