It depends on what type of friend do you have. I have a gambling buddies before when crypto is still new that we share all the bonuses, commissions and other casino incentives through our own contributions by searching different casino.

I preferred gambling that way because I can discuss my experience and how can I improve my gambling skills.

Right now, most of them is busy on their own job so I’m playing solo now which is dull compared when I have gambling buddies.

reliance on codes from friends or associate has its own good and bad side. good side is that sometimes you might have people that are better than you with prediction in your circles which might give you some sort of clue or how to go about your prediction. the bad side is that relying on friends for prediction will place you at a spot where you become over reliance on them and once their prediction stops working, you are thrown at same disadvantage with them.

gambling alone is the best way to go. that way, you know that you are depending only on yourself. if you risk too much, you know that you have yourself to blame and if you don't also risk enough, everything is just yours to handle. most of the times, being too close to other gamblers will make you try to gamble whenever others are gambling and that in itself is a disadvantage on its own.

I don't know, it seems with the advent of online gambling here in our country, it's more of them shifting to playing slot games. So as we all know, there are not strategy with this games as everything is based on pure luck. Only during the height of pandemic most of us didn't have the communication and it's like we fell off on some of the games that we shared betting, like horse racing. Last year, we try to get back and play it and even have scheduled to go inside and watch it live, but our schedules didn't met and so we scrap that idea. So now, if I will bet on sports, then there's no one that I can talk to, or I'm now beginning the source of their information like the concluding NBA games wherein I gave them some tips or who I think will win on certain games. So I guess, right now it's "to each his own" approach and I think that will be better instead of relying on someone to make the decision on who you are going to bet.

Every individual in general has different ways and thoughts as they want to do gambling activities.

If you refer to the two problems as you mentioned.
‎a. Gambling with help of friends and associates who share codes and betting strategies, versus,
‎b. Gambling alone depending on pure wits, knowledge and personal developed strategies?

Of course everyone has principles in gambling.
1. Some of us believe in the code or betting strategy of friends, that's the principle, they feel that friends can be trusted in gambling, That is normal in general, but some do not trust friends, of course with a variety of negative and positive reasons, all of that returns to the principle of how to view and trust friends.
2. Well, point B is not far as I said above, of course for those who have everything in the science of gambling, of course they choose to bet themselves and the opposite.
Just like you travel.
You have a car you can drive, if you go with a few friends, so does your friends can drive, Whether you tell your friend to drive a car or you drive yourself, all the decisions are in yourself.

‎a. Gambling with help of friends and associates who share codes and betting strategies, versus,

I’d choose collaboration because more heads are better than one, when you share the same interest and goal, it becomes easier to build a winning strategy. You are more focused and driven especially when you're being challenged and with mutual support, you push each other to grow and improve over time.

unfortunately for me I don’t have any friends who share the same interest, but if I did I’d definitely want to collaborate.... I’m confident I could contribute something valuable, and I know I’d also learn from them., that kind of teamwork makes for a solid and powerful partnership to beat the bookies.

‎a. Gambling with help of friends and associates who share codes and betting strategies, versus,

I find this experience beneficial on my part.

The reason being is that my friends usually share their betting techniques and processes with me. Additionally, they also tend to influence me in sports-betting with a sport that I am not familiar with. Though I know that it is risky on my part, I trust completely their judgement when it comes to football as they are indeed knowledgeable about that field.

‎b. Gambling alone depending on pure wits, knowledge and personal developed strategies?

This kind of method should be integrated with letter A above.

Sure- we all know that we must first develop our own research and strategy before we rely on others. But if we combine your own research with the help of your friends who have developed their respective strategies as well, then this will further increase your chances of winning.

Not everyone likes taking gambling odds from external sources because not all really work for good for us, the risk in them are much higher than the advantage they serve, so I can't rely on codes to play a bet, because I see more loses at the cause than winning and it serves no opportunity for any reason.

so I want to know how successful in your gambling activities you have been so far if you compare;

Are we taking measures to ensure that we are taking the right moves or we should not have all our expectations on gambling, being successful in gambling is not by how we have won bets in the past, but as a result of how satisfied we become by all the outcome from the bet we play.

As a gambler, I am involved in both a and b. I do most of my gambling analysis myself and place my bet based on my own predictions. Sometimes, when I am with my friends and we want to bet on a match, I can agree to their own predictions if it's done by them, because two heads are better than one.

However, gambling depends on luck and not by your own analysis or that of your friends but it's good to develop yourself by watching the matches, make research and analysis the game before placing your bet.

Well, for me, that's not a problem because so far I've never relied on anyone when I gamble. My favorite type of game is slots, which doesn't have any strategy or code to rely on. So I just play based on my own intuition and desires. Not having any gambling buddies isn't a problem for me at all, but I understand that every gambler has a different approach to their gambling activities.

On the other hand, if you're involved in skill-based gambling like sports betting, I think you need to increase your knowledge of the world of sports. This will likely improve your strategy and mean you won't always be dependent on others every time you want to place a bet.

Perhaps my friends bring negative energy that makes me almost always lose. From what I feel, after that, I often gamble alone, without input or information from friends >:(.

If you are getting advice or codes from friends do they expect a portion of your winnings? I personally do not ask for much more than an opinion but that opinion doesn't come with a price. Like the NBA betting thread we have I have asked what people think of certain spreads or lines. Everyone is pretty nice in there and gives their opinion. Noone expects any money.

With that said, I think gambling alone is better so noone is disappointed but you the gambler if you lose.

Our environment shapes our behavior strategies. Right now, I don’t have any friends who are seriously into betting, although some time ago I was surrounded by many such people. Back then, I really listened to those who were successful with their bets and even copied their bets exactly without question. But now my circle has changed, and so have my interests, so there's no one to even ask. If I do place a bet, it’s entirely on my own initiative. I can say that I place bets much less frequently now.

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, gambling was a public form of entertainment for me. It is common to always hang out with friends in physical betting shops to analyse,  predict, and bet on games. After the pandemic,  the era of online or crypto casinos emerged, and gambling started becoming a private affair. Instead of depending on friends,  prediction platforms and using artificial intelligence for analysis is now my common option.

Financially I cannot differentiate or state which era is better because I don't keep comprehensive records of my gambling activities. But in terms of fun and entertainment,  gambling with friends and associates has been more beneficial.

When it comes to gambling that requires analysis, I believe it is much better to have a friends that is equally knowledgeable or much better to have more knowledge on the game.  This way we have more options and factors to consider, and the processing time is way much faster.  It is said that two heads are better than one, and I highly agree with that in a condition that these two heads are really capable.

Alas, prefer gambling alone so I don't have any comparison on how I perform under the two situations @OP had given.

I haven't really won a bet from a shared booking code from friends before, as a matter of fact those type of games only make me lose more. The times I have won my bets were from predictions that I made myself. Overtime I've gotten more comfortable with games that I do my personal research on. Everyone cannot get the same from doing the same thing. When it comes to I don't really need associates

I’m a lone wolf gambler ever since I play in online casino. I do join on gc of casino but I don’t see the benefits of staying in touch with other gamblers because most of the casino games is played solo against the dealer.

Having friends while gambling doesn’t help much to be honest because we are still playing independently for our own game.

So I preferred playing alone ever since.

Discussions and talks always important because these open doors for new things in life even gambling related is having restrictions in many countries but still its possible to have talked about this sometime back I was had few friends which always talk about this, and we also work on few things related to gamble.
But as mind changes and have different type jobs or works now its almost ended no one is going to talk about this openly, but many are having good knowledge which helping them for having extra money due to their knowledge and skills of doing work on few methods results has never been issue for many.
Here on forum I read few members posts which always works because they have enough material about this which helps and also increase chances of win with decent way of talk always keeping things in talk not bad.

This is an interesting discussion because in early days of my gambling I had few friends who do give some good positive tips, and usually we put money which shared between us.

As time run out many changes happen and friends have change of places which are not out of country just because of this I am doing by myself and it's working good for me currently my best option is internet and few stats when I want to bet on any game.

It's working for me, and I am doing this alone for years which is interesting because mostly I am taking good advantage of my mind and with the help of few sites I have good journey without any help.

‎b. Gambling alone depending on pure wits, knowledge and personal developed strategies?
This here is a better choice. It's the way out than depending on codes from friends. What if the codes don't come on a certain day one is determined and in the mood to gamble? What if one ends that friendship, what happens next then? It will mean a set of friends will be in charge of how one runs one's affairs. I like being responsible for my own actions, and not completely relying on others.

Anyway, I see gambling as a luck thing. Even those friends we're getting codes from won't be certain what the outcome of those codes are going to be. It's a 50/50 thing. I might as well fancy my chances without involving anyone, and if I will take them, then I've to vent their suggestions. I won't take them hook, line and sinker. That's not to say I like being an island on its own.

I like counting on my own tactics and then hope luck smiles on me. That's my mindset.

I only gamble online, and even though I’m part of different gambling communities I’ve never really made friends.
I only talk to people I feel I can trust, if someone doesn’t have family or close friends involved, maybe I’d consider trusting them, then we could brainstorm ways to win.

Group effort can be powerful if everyone’s on the same side. But there has to be a leader, because once people start having different opinions, that’s when problems begin. As a group, there should only be one final decision.

I'm not strict about gambling strategies because there's no sure strategy to win, I rely on my own strategy most of the time. But if I see a friend that has placed their bet and willing to share I always don't mind taking a look but whatever I choose to bet will be my decision. I have a few gambling friends that I can ask if they're placing bets on some perticular games and they tell me, even when they're not betting on the games they'll give me their tips. If you have a betting group that shares strategies I think it's ok but if you don't you can analyze with the level experience that you have, afterall it's luck that you need to win.

But on the other hand, I have friends who also enjoy gambling, and we always share our winnings when one of us wins.

This is a hard one because you cannot rely on codes from your friend to always bring wins. Sometimes you win with their code while other times you lose. The same thing happens when you bet with odds you generated with your own analysis unless you are the type of gambler that is very bad at predicting games when using your own strategy.

As a gambler, I do prefer my own bets over another person's bet. You know why, using my own strategy to predict outcomes will help me know areas of improvement but when you depend on others to win, you cant win if you cant reach out to them and if there is need for adjustment you dont even know where to start from.

You don’t really need partners if you believe winning is all just luck. But the reason why some gamblers or bettors team up with others is so they can share strategies. From there, they can build something better together hoping it helps them improve and actually become profitable in the long run.

I always gamble alone, I don't rely on anyone but I have not been successful with my bets. Most of the time, the money just goes back and forth because there are many times my emotions still get the better of me, and so I make mistakes.
It's difficult when you become a fan of a team or a player, you tend to make a bet that's not for profit, but is intentionally meant to just support the team. It's wrong and yet sometimes satisfying, especially if they win. Still, there are times I would copy some predictions of other members here because sometimes they are right about their bets.

Both ways may be useful.
If you not good in analyze, but have a friend, who makes high quality analyze of matches and share the results - it would be a way to get profit fast. Bad moments - mostly you willn`t learn how to analyze matches and one moment this friend would be tired to share results for free.
If you can analyze yourself - just do it. Bad moment - it is possible that your friends`s analyze would be better. On the other hand - you will study and the same time it is only your responsibility and only your mistakes.
PS. Some time you will be able to sell your predictions.

Team work is very effective in everything except online gambling, arguments, and doubts could erupt due to the nature of the results. Although, if they understand one another, they can enjoy every session, but doing personal research and taking up actions on our own terms works best than relying on any body. Good codes can be found on sport news papers, which helps in advancing our analysis.

Relationship requires take and give, if they share codes and strategies that requires few hours of analysis, while you only give a generic analysis, it's make sense why they stop it.

I don't know the successfulness if I rely on my friends, but I bet for myself and it's not successful in terms of money.

Gambling alone gave you the best shot at winning. Which is the second option where you have to do the analysis and strategies yourself than depending on others to do it off you. If they have the wrong codes you also lose and more often than not those codes cannot be trusted. How do you even trust to best on a code from another person? It is a very poor risk management strategy. If you are not so confident in yourself, then just do your own analysis and compare it with the others after the game ends.

The only people I have seen sharing strategies are the ones I see on forums as we. They are not really friends but seem like a few of their strategies works which means with the help of their experience I see it also works on me.

I saw some friends are also gambling but I don't think we are in the same space but I can see slots are still being played either in fiat base casinos and crypto. Slot isn't my type of game so no friend can help me in gambling.

There's no harm in combining them. If we have a good friend or colleague whose code or predictions consistently work or often win, we can combine them with our own results and predictions. However, we still need to do careful research and consideration to determine the final outcome.

In my experience, I had a close friend who always shared his predictions, and they were always right. And when I didn't follow them, I felt regret. And after a few such incidents, I ended up following his predictions several times by doing in-depth research, incorporating my own predictions, and if I felt his predictions made sense, I would use them, which sometimes worked. Because whatever the reason, we still can't avoid losing, and nothing is truly consistent.

I prefer to gamble with my own understanding and knowledge. Although sometimes I also bet based on what friends suggest, I do it just for fun when we are in the same place and are talking about gambling. Using friends' predictions or suggestions is just like a fad for me.
I still have friends to discuss or just joke about gambling. Whatever is conveyed, we respect. But the decision to bet with our own thoughts or according to friends' suggestions, I will still determine myself.
If you have many friends to discuss, surely you like how you can compare friends' suggestions and your own thoughts.

I dont gamble much these days, but you just brought back some memories. There was a time, back in the day, when I would get into sports betting with my buddies. It wasnt like a solo thing, more of a group activity.

We would all pool our info, scouring stats, watching games, reading every sports blurb we could find. And then, someone would inevitably pipe up, "Ive got a hot tip on this game!" or "This team is a sure thing!" And we would all jump on it together.  Honestly, there were definitely times when those shared strategies, and those collective hunches, really felt like they paid off. It felt like we had some kind of edge, you know? But looking back, I think it was more about the shared excitement and bragging rights than the money itself.

‎a. Gambling with help of friends and associates who share codes and betting strategies

I prefer this one and am doing this. Still, even though we are sharing betting strategies, I kept my objectivity and prefer my bets, and use the shared strategies or bets as an option or comparison.
When you’re betting, you have to check options and compare them to yours. This is to verify that you made the right bet.
Gamblers learn from each other, so be open to different strategies and share your own to achieve the best possible results.

a. It is fun and it's easier but not at all times you'll get to be with our friends. I've been in a circle who have bet for some certain sports and shares some bets, they don't reveal the strategy but it's just like copy betting. If the bet we copy lose, everyone losses.
b. I think that I'm on this one. While I don't have any grudge on betting groups that I have been with because it's all fun and chat but I want to be alone and not that much with wits but there is no one to blame if I lose but myself only.

Most of my friends are not gamblers, and the few who are  and who aren't that close to me I still believe I'm better than them when it comes to predictions of football. Some of them even ask me for prediction codes, despite the fact that I'm not a regular gambler.But the truth is, even if I later have friends who are gamblers and better than me at making predictions, I would hardly ask them to share their codes with me. Instead, I’d just ask them questions  like what they think about certain matches because once someone starts sharing their codes with you, they often expect some form of appreciation when you win.So, I prefer to make my own predictions and gamble the way I always have  in secret. Whether I win or lose, I usually keep it to myself. It's always hard for people to even know.

In my case, I rely solely on myself. I don't ask anyone for tips. I also prefer to analyze games alone. What I enjoy most is analyzing games alone. I think that, for me, is the most fun part of sports betting. I don't see any fun in someone giving me betting tips, and I also think this way: when someone gets used to receiving tips

one day when they run out of tips, then that person will stop betting. That's why it's always good to rely on yourself and study a lot about betting, even if you don't know anything about betting. Seeing betting as just entertainment, nothing more than that, and if you're not having fun, then you need to give up.

I have been more of myself and confident when it comes from me than my friends, although I have friends who are not stingy of sharing what they have on there bet with there friends because some sees it as a strategy that they get corrections from seeing what there friends plays, although I sometimes wonder why some persons are not generous in given to another when it does not prevent the person from Winning if actually they were meant to win and besides is not like if they both win the gambling platform will be out of funds to pay them, so actually I'm not a perfect game predictor but i always share if a friend ask for it.

Are we talking about sports betting here or both sports betting and casino games? If casino games are also involved, I would say I don't believe in strategies when it comes to casino games because there are none. The ones people use are betting patterns but they have named them strategies which is wrong, because a strategy is like a plan, where you plan certain things, you do them accordingly, and that will give you an advantage, but in casino games, you can't do anything that can possibly give you an edge over the house, and you will always lose if you are unlucky no matter what strategy you are applying.

When it comes to sports betting, I would say I would mostly do better if I'm doing it on my own because I believe my knowledge. I only make bets when I know about the teams or players involved, and I know which side has more strength and hence a higher probability of winning the game. If that's not the case, I don't trust signals or anything like that, and I would rather not gamble than to make bets only based on such information.

I've never relied on anyone when it comes to betting, I've always made my own decisions. Many friends often give me advice or share their strategies, and while I listen, I never actually follow them. For me, gambling is about the satisfaction that comes from decisions I make myself, not from someone else’s input.

In a way, it’s much more exciting to bet independently, without outside suggestions that might cloud your judgment or make you second guess yourself.

I may have only listened a little to what my friends were saying at the beginning of my gambling journey and this distorted my vision of the situation, i.e. they indirectly influenced my final decision on the bet. Now I understand for sure that I don’t need advice from friends, I’m only ready to read forums or articles on how to improve the game, strategies and my emotional state to fight losses. Therefore, I’m not at all worried about being influenced by someone’s opinion on the bet today, I don’t even read articles from experts, because I understand how they benefit from it.

In as much as I enjoy gambling or doing things with friends sometimes it depends on the type of friends one has however I like to gamble with associate because the benefits is that you sometimes run into guys who are better than you in gambling or analysis to predict the matches this reason is why I like to gamble with associates.

However, doing it alone allows you to focus and you can make good decisions on choice not being convinced by someone else or swayed by others.

What I have know and come to realize is that, gambling shouldn't be done depending on anyone, since gambling is a game of risk and unpredictable outcome, we don't have anyone successful gambler so for that you can't depend on any one predictions or betting codes to bet on, you need to develop your own gambling skills that help you to do analysis of the games and to come out with a good prediction that can't at least give you some form of possible winnings.

No, I don't involve friends or anyone else into my gambling activity, it should be an individual act then only they can be sole responsibility of the results but if it's decided by a group and bet on one then if something goes wrong there will be some kind of misunderstanding will surely ruin the relationship so better not to take that road and just do what you enjoy. Also I feel asking someone to gamble isn't a right thing to do and what if the person doesn't have same risk tolerance or control and end up an addict, we can't face the guilt even if we are not the entire reason.

I would say there is quite better outcome when I am gambling with my good friends and share common betting interest. They open up their own betting predictions and I also share my own, and end up collaborating with them which creates more wise bets compared when I’m betting all alone.

However, I have my own skills and strategies in gambling, but it creates a bigger opportunity to win when more heads are actually working for the win.

I believe that pooling of ideas together makes the best idea. Not single individual idea is better except for a collective idea.

If your friends are a close knit group and have expertise in gambling, you will often get the best codes for gambling that can guarantee you make profit if you use their codes.

However if your group of friends are noobs  without any expertise in gambling you shouldn't trust any booking codes that they share. You are better off on your own.

And we probably shouldn't blindly trust anyone regardless of whatever relationship we have with that person. Sadly though, I mostly play slots, and we all know how random that can be. But I appreciate the risk management tips I encounter.

Honestly, I've only ever gotten refferal links I'm not interested on lol. Though maybe I just need to widen my connections lol.

Friends can't help in gambling, because they can't change the fact the house always win on long run. It's actually noxious to have friends helping you on gambling matters, and I say that based on personal experience, since I used to talk and exchange experiences with someone who was an active gambler.

He claimed for several times to have a working strategy which would ensure profit on long run, especially through dice bots, so I trusted him for a while and gave it a try as well. In the end, it always stopped working after a while, so after few situations of that kind, I reached the conclusion I shouldn't follow his experiments anymore.

Follow your own intuition, and be careful with advices and hints from others. They might not even know what is better for themselves, so how could they put you on the right track?

So far, I would say my gambling experience is a lonely one, because I am a casual gambler and when it comes the time to gamble, most of the time there is nobody around me or in social media who would offer me advice or codes for me to take advantage of.
It is rather a consequence of the context in which I am immersed in, most of the people I consider my friends are in a situation where they cannot afford to lose an important amount of money so easily, so they rather to use other means of entertainment to burn their time: play video games, practice some sports, swim in the pool and stuff like that, which do not involve any risk to their savings or the little money they have for leisure.

Actually, since they realized I am a user of online casinos they have sent a couple of memes making fun of gamblers to me, since most of gamblers (as we know) lose their money. I don't find it offensive, but rather funny.

It won't change the way I decide to spend my money, though. But as stands for now, I am a lonely gambler.

if money is involved i really don't think this would be wise lol most likely when you guys win there could be some arguments because obviously one person might always end up being the greedy one for example he may claim that his idea was really his therefore the winning money should be his alone even though you both contributed so really just play alone

Not every time but yes betting with friends who also understand the game got some upper hands, though not a guarantee but like the saying 2 heads are better than one, those shared info and shared strategy can come up with the best outcome, but there's always a reserve that you can use for your own game time.

It's all about balancing your gambling and your relationship to whoever that shares the same passion.

That's right - your pleasure is your own rules, not anyone else's.
Gambling is a fun form of play - but because many gamblers want to win, they will look for ways to increase their chances of winning, including relying on other people's strategies. The advice of friends or other fortune tellers can sometimes help - but I don't think relying on them consistently for gambling decisions is a good idea. Gambling isn't a way to make money consistently - but it is a fun way to lose and occasionally make money.

The best advice is; don't gamble for money, gamble for fun. Take your winnings as a bonus - this will keep you from getting caught in a vicious cycle of addiction. I practice it - it really works for me, you can apply it too.

I most times gamble alone. But in few cases, I have had discussions with guys in my neighbourhood concerning sports betting and we discuss odds and teams who have the higher chances of winning. We share ideas, agree and disagree. At the end, I reach a decision base on all the judgements and I place my bet.

To be honest, there is really no difference between when I play alone and when I follow the recommendations of my guys. Some days I win and other days I lose. It's just thesame and nothing extra. Just that the later is more fun and lively.

TBH I don't trust something like sharing codes or sharing betting strategies. I trust my own way in gambling, I have my own strategy. As far as I know, there is no exact strategy that can work well for everyone. A certain strategy can be good for our friend, but it may not work well for ourselves. The strategy in gambling should be adjusted with our gambling style and what games we prefer to play. So, it is much better to develop the strategies yourself, dude. You must trust your own ability!! You also must always remember that other people strategies can't guarantee you to win the games.

gambling alone is the best way to go. that way, you know that you are depending only on yourself. if you risk too much, you know that you have yourself to blame and if you don't also risk enough, everything is just yours to handle. most of the times, being too close to other gamblers will make you try to gamble whenever others are gambling and that in itself is a disadvantage on its own.

I see no problem staying in the midst of other gamblers to gamble. You know why? because most of them are gambling responsibly. If you are in the midst of people who knows the rules in gambling and abide to it, you will easily be influenced positively. We ought to know the type of gamblers they are before agreeing to sit next to them. Yeah you might even get lucky to win, especially when you guys share ideas, check flaws and try to collect them. You may never know a new things awaits you until you find out.

I think associating with people who are good at gambling is a good thing, not only you can acquire and know their ways on how to win on gambling, this people are committed to win and not just, want to have fun, but if you are alone, there are things you need to learn first without any help and on the process resulting to a loss, but if you are always aware and is keen to details that is an advantage, but i would prefer having other people around but, still you have to decided on your own of course they are just their as guide, so that there is no blaming.

As far as gambling goes, in my experience, most of the time relationships distract you from gambling the way you usually like to. Although I am not a strong believer in strategies or anything like that. But at the same time, I think having friends and family relationships is very important to keep yourself distracted by other things than gambling. Being alone makes you lonely and bored and you tend to gamble more often in such a state. That might be a dangerous path to a silent addiction. Also, having the wrong friends can have a detrimental effect. So choose the people you surround yourself with carefully.

I think relationships can help and hurt gambling at the same time. Friends might give tips or share advice, but they can also pressure you to bet more. Being alone can make you bored and gamble more just to feel something.
It's best to have support from people who want you to stay in control.

When gambling online, I'd rather be alone. I seldom solicit for my friends' opinions, strategies, advice, and the like when betting online, except perhaps in sports betting when the likelihood of a team or player winning or losing or making an upset victory is best discussed with friends. That would help in analyzing and weighing the possibilities.

But when gambling offline like going to the casino, cockfighting, the neighborhood, or when betting on an actual game live, that's best done with friends. We sometimes pool our funds together for betting.

For the entirety of time I've been gambling so far, I've been a loner with my gambling activities, strategy and decisions, and this is not because I don't have friends who will or can share betting tips, code with me if I want it, but to be honest with you, I personally like to bet on my on personal convictions, decisions and so on so as not to have any one to blame when I lose.

And besides, this days, it hard to come acrossd friends who will not be wanting to be settled if paradventure they give you a game code which you played and won, they immediately want you to share the money with them, and if you don't, this could be the reason why you guys will start having rifts which could end up even leading to a physical fight and separation. I don't like starting what I know I cannot finish, gambling, betting has never been a source of income for me and I pray it never does, so I don't see reasons why I did take it so serious to be wanting help from friends.

I barely have friends who gamble, but even then, I still don't see myself finding more success when it's probably not that different from tailing other gamblers. With that said, managing my gambling plans alone might be for the better because most strategies won't be that impactful anyway. I used to experiment a few strategies suggested in this section, and that was still a hit or miss given that luck is usually the one to decide the fate of my session. It can be refreshing to look or ask for help from others, but it's rarely enough to put you ahead unless you have a friend that's gambling on the professional level.

I don't have a friend that can share something related to gambling. Actually, they are trying to warn me about the consequences if I keep gambling.

I gamble alone. I don't seek any tips from friends. I do research on my own and analyze the team before betting.
Asking for tips from a friend isn't a good idea unless he does gamble and has knowledge and a winning history, but for other friends that don't have much knowledge, why would I ask for their tips?
That's a 50/50 chance of winning; it's a totally random result if you follow his tips.

I see no problem staying in the midst of other gamblers to gamble. You know why? because most of them are gambling responsibly. If you are in the midst of people who knows the rules in gambling and abide to it, you will easily be influenced positively. We ought to know the type of gamblers they are before agreeing to sit next to them. Yeah you might even get lucky to win, especially when you guys share ideas, check flaws and try to collect them. You may never know a new things awaits you until you find out.
I think associating with people who are good at gambling is a good thing, not only you can acquire and know their ways on how to win on gambling, this people are committed to win and not just, want to have fun, but if you are alone, there are things you need to learn first without any help and on the process resulting to a loss, but if you are always aware and is keen to details that is an advantage, but i would prefer having other people around but, still you have to decided on your own of course they are just their as guide, so that there is no blaming.

If possible, I'd also like to have friends who are good at gambling or who know how to win, because that would certainly be very profitable. But logically, I think it's quite impossible to find such friends, or even none at all. I mean, I don't believe there are gamblers who know how to win, because if there were, many casinos would go bankrupt.
What is possible is having gambling friends to share experiences that lead to larger losses, such as from aggressive actions that should be avoided, and learning from each other's mistakes to avoid unwanted things.
In gambling, the most sensible thing is to learn everything to minimize risk, not to chase wins.

My friends can be so much helpful in sharing updates, theories, leads and even codes of their own bets, all of that can actually help reduce the stress of starting from scratch to do your own research and predictions but yet, without them, I can still cope and do better but it's going to make me put more work in searching for helpful leads that can contribute to a solid prediction. If you make your to only depend on your friends help, that means it will cause a disaster for you when they are not there or no longer helping you. I can't be in such situation.

I have gambled with friends many times... we played slots, blackjack & other live games, we bet on sports together, and there was always something else going on. As always, we were successful here and there, but we lost a lot of times... There is no real advantage to it, it is more of a fun activity that everyone involved enjoys.

It is the same when I play alone... sometimes I win and sometimes I lose. There's no secret code or strategy, it's on us to try what we think and we hope for the best outcome.

Relying on code from friends is not a good way to Gamble, it will make you lazy. Perhaps you need to improve in discovering strategies to gamble and not becoming reliant on others.  If i am to compear and contrast the two options you provided above, I will go for the number 2 which I have already explained, which you already emphasis as knowledge and personal developed strategies. If we are too much dependent on others for prediction, then we are not fit for gambling.

I have a friend who was sharing sport betting code with me and I was winning but a time came he stopped sharing it with me I really don't don't know why he stopped at that time I asked him why he stopped he didn't give me a good response so I didn't ask him again, I continued gambling when ever I'm chanced and I still continue winning, one thing I know about gambling is that if you are gambling or betting on your favorite sport you will win more than you lose but if you gamble or bet on sport you don't have interest on you will lose more than you win.
Now when you are gambling or betting on your favorite sport you will know what to predict that may happen like you have predicted because you have been into that for some time and you know or have seen many things that has happened in that sport and you know how strong different teams are however if you are not familiar with that sport you will bet Hoping on luck in other to win because you have no idea about that sport.
Right now I prefer predicting and betting on my own with asking a friend for anything idea.

I can't remembered the last time I took game from someone and is been long, at then whenever I took games from people what I does is to also review those games myself to know if they are worthy enough, even though if I don't trust myself that much I would still have to dig inside those games before placing my bet on that matches. What I does then is that when ever I makes my analysis I would have to share with someone very close to me to also go through those games and whenever is done I could get a feedback on some particular game if they are not fine. Then lately I have also learned something very important to also try to gambling within only 1-2 games or maxi 3, with at least 2x to 3x of my initial amount that could be gotten from the winning, even though I know it's a game of probability and chances I wouldn't have to put my hope but to be expectant that this is what I am channeling my efforts to.

If you have a good enough partner and also know how to analyze a match, it will be an advantage in itself so that you can share
and discuss whether the match is worth betting on and what percentage of the winnings will occur.

Because it is rare for someone to discuss with others to determine which team is worthy or which match can result in victory.
I just analyzed based on my own research and was not helped by anyone because I didn't have anyone I trusted when it came to gambling.

Games that rely on probability and odds can also be predicted even if they don't fully work, but we'll know how the game will play out.

I think relationships can help and hurt gambling at the same time. Friends might give tips or share advice, but they can also pressure you to bet more. Being alone can make you bored and gamble more just to feel something.
It's best to have support from people who want you to stay in control.

As an adult, you should be able to handle pressure from friends to gamble more than you can afford to lose. I have friends who gamble with large sums, and they sometimes encourage me to gamble with the same amount as them. I don't take such advice because some of them earn more than I do, and others usually get financial support from family members. If they lose big on gambling, they have extra funds or support from relatives. But I don't have such privilege, that's why I must follow my budget strictly.  I usually accept gambling tips from friends who I know are well-experienced gamblers, and it has been helpful. But there is no guarantee that they are correct, so I have to bear the risk.

Those kinds of chances don’t even guarantee long-term profit. That’s not how you become profitable in gambling, what you’re doing there is pure luck, not skill. You win when you’re lucky, not because you’ve outplayed the system. If we’re talking about long-term success, it’s all about improving your skills. Even a small edge like getting 51% can lead to solid profits over time if you stay consistent. That’s the real key.

Mastery plays a role in poker, for example, where you can have an advantage over your opponents by playing weakly. And the more you play with them, the more profit you will make, because the luck factor decreases if you play more games. That's why poker professionals have always been interesting to me, but I personally have not managed to become one, because it is extremely difficult, although possible. And besides, if I were a beginner, I would play exactly one in poker, and other games, so as not to give yourself a chance to lose more, it is better to go and play in a casino, where luck treats everyone equally.

Majority of us may not like taking gambling codes, instead to set out our own games and use the available and suitable options we are taking for each game, this is mostly on sport bets like football, whereby most of us are already conversant with football and knows the way we can use various options in gambling to play bets on sports activities, I may receive codes, but still work on my own strategy and re-edit what have been given, while in some other conditions, I don't make use of a code for anything.

I am on a type of gambling where the norm or code is to share our strategies between friends; we give each other tips and techniques, but at the end, you will be the one to decide what to bet. It’s your money, so your interest should be your top priority.
I usually conduct my analysis, then compare the results, and determine the best reason to identify the winner.

Prefer to gamble by yourself who has the skills with the knowledge you have rather than asking friends for help with betting because this is not done so there is no comparison that knows about this.

By yourself will be better --- can your friend be said to be proficient in making bets?

Good relationship does have significant impacts by managing and also overcoming gambling habits.Even as the saying goes that "evil communication corrupts good manners,"there still needs to blend.Sometimes it's not the loved ones jobs to fix the gambler if addiction persists,but these ones are around for redirection by reinforcing progress and motivation.

What do you mean by "successful" word in gambling?  Because here, by successful, only I mean those gamblers who basically gamble responsibly. Besides, I don't think the word successful goes with gambling.

Because in gambling, everything depends on luck. Whether you win or lose depends entirely on your luck. No matter how good your strategy is or how great an analyst you follow, his shared predictions or codes will not allow you to win. So instead of thinking about being successful in any other way, think about how you will entertain yourself by gambling, and of course responsibly.

Honestly, gambling with friends is fun aside fun you intend to get 90% chance of winning when involving with group of friends sharing different ideas and strategy. When it comes to gambling skill getting help from a third party seems helpful compared to gambling alone, although some might choose privacy for a reason personally I love getting help when I feel the need to definitely it must not be always.

Yeah, definitely having friends who are gamblers can be really fun to be honest, because nothing is as pleasing as having people around who are likeminds with us, that is, activities we engage ourself in for fun is also the same activity they like to engage their self in for fun too, made me remember the guy who introduced me to gambling, we both lived in the same room and we had a great time those days when we speculate on which numbers will play out in the daily lotto we usually played, popularly known as baba ijebu.

Right now, I no longer have any friend who is a gambler, but I like it since I am no longer that much of a gambler like before, and need no one to motivate me to gamble when I don't want to or prepared for it.
So in essence, I like myself as a lone gambler than keeping friends who gamble.

I prefer always to gamble alone and rarely I go out with my friends to gamble. I don't think it is a good idea to gamble with friends as it can precipitate quickly in some cases when things go wrong. I am not a non social person, I go out with friends to play mini soccer or to have a drink or dinner together yet never in a casino with them. I have this strict belief which many can call it superstition that gambling alone improve your chances of winning as no rushing decisions are usually made and also you can stop easily when gambling alone as no one will be pushing you to spend more money when you lose while with friends you don't know what you will do under the impact of their cheering you to deposit more money.

Hmm note relationship can only help your gambling life.
First if you're not a gamble addict second you're not control by your partner, third you choose not to, because relationship or no relationship a chronic gambler must always gamble or if he thinks maybe he's being stuck with some emotional kind of things he's ready to give up that relationship in other to do what keeps him moving, I have seen so many relationships collapse all in the name of a gambling spouse, not only relationship but marriage, so the only way relationship can help it is maybe you are not rooted in it and you also gamble responsibly.

You must always be ready to accept any outcome in gambling because there will only be 2 outcomes, namely losing or winning.
But actually the point is not that, Gambling or betting is done whether it can really yield or not and yes using strategies and patterns from others with the same thought,
it can help in analyzing it easier, But again whether it can help completely.

I will always compare other people's analyses with my own analysis and on that occasion I will find the perfect combination of analyses.

Thats the best approach rather than on making yourself that trying out to be reliant with other calls and suggestions. It would be that much more better if you do depending into your own analysis and approach rather than on making yourself that trying out to follow someone just because you do trust them or being a colleague or friend or just simply you have known it online. It would be just that impossible that you cant be able to distinguish on whats good and whats bad but if you are that curios if it was that effect then it will be that up to you on how you would be able to adjust things accordingly. It would be just that impossible that you can be able to take up those kind of analysis and make out some comparison in between. On the moment that you would be having those loses then the primary thing that comes up into your mind is that you do have those regrets on following someones bets and it could even that potentially be that making up those kind of actions on blaming them out and could result to argumentation but since you dont like on having those broken friendship or what then you would be that tending to be that silent.

Nothing beats out if you do make out your own bets with your own analysis on which you are the ones will be that trying out to follow according on what you have seen and researched on which if ever this one turned out to be a losing bet then you wont be having those kind of regrets deep inside because you do know that you are at fault and you had applied your own analysis in comparing into those times that you would be that following someone and make out those loses then it would be giving out that very huge regret and it doesnt give out any good feeling. You can differentiate it out once you do have been able to experience it out. Also, its never been that entertaining if you arent the ones who do make out such analysis into your bets made.

In your case, you don't have other options at your disposal. All you need to do is create your own speculation based on your area of interest and enjoy the fun. I don't even feel okay to gamble on odds from friends, unless I'm adding something additional to it.

If you still feel like you still need an aid, why not check on prediction channels, pick up some scrapings and make the best out of it from your speculation? That's also one another way.

I have seen many gamblers whom by the virtue of friends they keep have been addicted and all they do is to leave the kind of life their friends are leaving as birds of the same feathers, this is no more a companionship, but disaster on them because of bad influence, they live in sch a life that every of their decision in life depends on their friends ideas and are subjected by thy their own opinions for considerations, acceptance or rejection, which is one of the reason they have been found lacking behind, because living such kind of lifestyle will not help the situation in any way.

Gambling with the help of my associates have been very helpful to me. When I don't have the time to do a proper research and analysis my friends share booking codes with me that can I can copy, I just simply edit the games to my taste when I feel it's necessary. This makes betting more fun for me because I have people to share ideas with and make it less stressful. I have some games through this means

My friends are helpful in confirming if what I'm thinking is similar to their prediction, just like the editing aspect comes when some prediction are not conforming with me, then the others that correlates with my ideas are left in the booking. However, friends are much more effective on deep gambling conversation and sharing of emotional developments; good or bad. Gambling friends easily understand little changes than non-gamers, and there is the perfect obligation of my friends; hearing my confessions.

We can be friends with anyone, but at the very least, we must maintain our ability to control ourselves in making decisions. We cannot rely on the opinions of friend, or we may always live in their shadows. I have also seen someone in that situation, we can still gather and share gambling experiences with our friends. But it would be better to think about the impact when we might unconsciously gamble out of control. Although for some people, there are also those who prioritize validation from friends over progress in their lives.

There may be gamblers who are relying on their friends to continue their gambling lifestyle but I believe, most gamblers have their own agenda and so they play on their own. So for me, I would rather play on my own and rely on my own decision. Because if you will depend on others when it comes to your betting, you may end up blaming that person if the bet will end up losing. So if you decide it on your own, you will only blame yourself.

I would go with option b because it is the most appropriate , with friends it is not possible to achieve much because there are individual interests involved and it is not advisable, I would say option b because of all these things and because one is always looking for ways to improve and establish new strategies.

I am more on this approach also so I don't need to wait for others to finally place a bet. Better follow your instincts rather than rely on someone else. Because you will surely regret if something wrong will come out from depending on others. Also, would be hard for you to decide next if you will always rely on somebody. It is like you don't have your own decision.

Gambling with friends that share same method and codes will sure improve winning chances for you, making way for more angles, with shared insights, and most time discipline emotionally. Other way it is equally risky to groupthink or blondy follow. Personally gambling depends on your personal discipline, experience, and ability to learn from errors. Though difficult but when consistent if you are sharp and ss objective. Long-term success always follow from individual skills not hired luck, while both have pros.

There is always need for gambling friends especially when you are that knowledgeable about gambling and the other person are that knowledgeable in gambling you can be confirming your games to his and when you make prediction and you senses that your games aren't right in your judgment you could seek his attention or their attention to help you vet (crosscheck) whether you both games are align with each others. Having gambling friends helps to increase knowledgeable and sharing common ideas together than non-gamblers. Typical example can also be a friend who knows about cryptocurrency or that belong to this forum you both can talk about how the forum is and which coin is the latest to invest or not to invest and you guys can share feelings and discussed about any rising issues about forum, unlike those who aren't in the forum and even if you are thinking anything that relate to this forum they can't contribute or share ideas with you because they are total off from your thinking.

I don't know about sucesss, because gambling expenses are entertainment expenses to me but whether it be my gambling activities or otherwise, I like to depend on myself only (i.e, option 'b')'as there tend to be less disappointment this way. I do surf Internet to learn stuff from others though.

In our wonderful time, you don't need friends to learn new strategies from them. To tell the truth, there aren't that many strategies in gambling, it's more correct to talk about the nuances of strategies, and not about the strategies themselves, because they are all well known and described. In addition, it is unclear what to mean by friends and why you need friends. For example, here on the forum we communicate with a large number of unknown people who can share interesting information for us, but we do not consider them friends. You can even treat people on the forum well and communicate with them as with real friends, but at the same time never see them in your life. And I'm not even talking about neural networks. Modern neural networks can easily replace our friends. Even in gambling, they often understand more than real friends.

First, I don’t have any friends I can talk to about gambling, nor do I want anyone to know that I gamble. Aside from my parents before, but even then, I never directly told them I won in a casino, and I don’t think they suspect I’m into it. Even at what we called “perya,” I rarely gambled, so they probably wouldn’t think much of it. So, ever since I started, I’ve been on my own. Of course, just like most people, I’m on the negative side. Although I’ve created my own strategies, at the end of the day, this is still gambling.

Already right from time I normally gamble alone because I don't normally depends on someone prediction since luck have the besic role in determining the final outcome. So I normally do my own research and stick to my strategy because I have often see where gamblers end up regretting just because of too much reliance on their friends prediction. So I always prefer doing my own prediction with my little still since luck have the final say.

I always gamble on my own terms, not relying on others. Although my friends often offer advice, I simply listen to them. In other words, I think even listening is more respectful than not doing it at all. In my opinion, gambling requires luck to win, so even if we rely on other people's advice, if we're not lucky, we won't win.

Furthermore, I'm more comfortable gambling alone than with a lot of people around. For example, when hanging out, there are obviously lots of my friends, and I wouldn't gamble. In situations like that, I'm uncomfortable doing it, so I choose to go home and gamble if I really feel like gambling.

If you as a gambler have gambling friends you can share tips sometimes when you're together, it can be fun if you're friends are open with their strategies. But I always emphasize that even if you and your friends share gambling tips or codes the decision on what to bet on should be entirely yours. It's easy to heap blames on others if they share their analysis and it didn't work out. Even if they share and it's what you want you cannot blame them if you lose. I think it's best to do your own analysis and accept your luck.

Once upon a time, I have friends that we shared our gambling experiences together even give one another some gambling methods and so on but things changed after a while, I guess that's because things don't go as planned so many times.

Two of my friends quit gambling and they focused on their business while the rest don't just talk about it, and I never asked because I don't know what to ask of them, they are family men and I noticed they gamble because of money.

Right now I am used to gambling all alone, things fade really faster when expectations aren't meant, and most people are gambling to make money, once it's not looking like it's possible they will move on, while some will be trapped forever in the daze.

I don't have friends to share betting codes or give updates. I searched the info by myself so that makes me learn something. I know that it is difficult to succeed in gambling so I only use gambling as a way to have fun. Gambling is one of many activities that I do in my daily life.

I prefer to gamble alone using my knowledge, strategies and else. Besides that, I just want to make it easy which only requires placing my bet and playing. If I want to place my bet in sports betting, I know what I need to do so I don't have to rely on others.

In my youth, I loved playing poker with my school friends. And it was a lot of fun!

However, later, when I became interested in sports betting, I did not have friends with a similar hobby. My former friends got married, some moved to another city...

At the same time, I am not sure that discussing new strategies with friends would have allowed me to win more often than I do now. After all, in order to consistently win in sports betting, in my opinion, you need not so much new strategies as insider information about a specific sports team.

However, gambling would certainly be more interesting in the company of friends. A person is a social creature, and it is always natural for him to be in the company of like-minded people. This gives him additional motivation to engage in this or that type of human activity. Gambling is no exception. Therefore, it is good that on our forum you can communicate with like-minded people online.

The impact of friends and close associates in fueling our decisions is quite wide and to that extent we have to know that mentaining our privacy is very important, when we have any contact with friends that are outside our kind of view and reasoning, it becomes a most that we limit ourselves on the things we do or say while discussing any topics that is of interest to both and all of us just like gambling.

Consciously or unconsciously we tend to act ind the influence of what we have hard from others in the form of discussing that is why we say that we should select our friends instwad letting them select us.

This is an interesting discussion because in early days of my gambling I had few friends who do give some good positive tips, and usually we put money which shared between us.

As time run out many changes happen and friends have change of places which are not out of country just because of this I am doing by myself and it's working good for me currently my best option is internet and few stats when I want to bet on any game.

It's working for me, and I am doing this alone for years which is interesting because mostly I am taking good advantage of my mind and with the help of few sites I have good journey without any help.

It's so nice and as a result of self-reliance the changes are required to occur in accordance with the right mindset, efforts of that person.Since people are different, it'll be difficult for some to come to a conclusion of improving so much on themselves without trying to rely on the virtue and efforts of their companions.

You know what the best thing of all is? Don't expect anything from anyone, Things are very important when doing any kind of thing Personally , I learned that way because I've suffered betrayals of all kinds. When it comes to a partner, you have to be extremely careful in knowing how to choose them, It's not easy, but if you find the right one, it's the best lottery you've ever won.

When you rely on friends for tips and codes you benefit from having more information which can seem helpful at first. But this also means you are depending on other people knowledge which might not always be reliable.

Other side gambling by yourself using your own research and strategies puts you in full control. But this takes more effort and time any success you have is direct result of your own skills and decisions. Main difference between two is trade off you can rely on group or take full control with each path having its own pros and cons.

Discipline is very necessary for everything, especially when it comes to money, games, trading... everything has a meaning with money and the goal is to multiply it but it has a great risk, that's why when you share it with someone that person has to be very similar to you, you have to have things in common so as not to end up fighting, you always have to look for a way to innovate in a casino, and I also always add that to play in the casino I only bet the minimum I can.

That is bad if we are going to rely on others for our bet, let's say sports betting. Yeah, maybe in the first few games we will seek help, just like in my case early on. To be frank, when I started on sports bet, I don't know what is the handicap betting, I only knew money line. So someone teaches me, and it's easy to learn. And with I have that knowledge then I uses it to my advantage.

So that in any case you losses big amount of money, then you have nothing to blame but yourself. And it's good to have that kind of experience so that you will really know what to do the next time. So it's like a learning curve, that there are processes before you become a successful gambler
