Losing $350,000 because of a friend, what would you do?

[ethereumhunter]

sometimes money can act as an augmented lens
it'll make some traits of personality bigger
this results in some people becoming more greedy and aching to have power and others to be more prone to charity and good acts of will.

If we only want to chase money from gambling, I don't think it will be easy because we already know that gambling is not a way to make money. Although some people can earn money, the number will be smaller than the number of lost people. We should avoid being greedy in gambling or other things so we won't get caught in a situation we don't want. And if we really want to make friends, money is not something we use because it relates to our emotions.

yes you are right
some people make big wins and end up changing their lives because of gambling but these are outliers, most will lose over the long run

money makes things easier but only solves the problems related to money, not all the issues in life.

This topic always made me remember how some people got befallen by some unforseen circumstances and, there are sometimes left with nothing to decide on, no option to follow, no decision to make... sometimes they're not even given an opportunity to make a choice, Just like the happenings from this story.
That would have been an opportunity to change his life , maybe momentarily, maybe forever but, I feel that it was not just meant to be. Secondly, friends are very annoying and jealous atimes... Let's assume that his friend knew he was gonna win big but decided to get it all FUCKED, just as he was convinced in his options, how's that supposed to be termed?

While nowhere near as extreme as what it is described in the OP, something similar happened to a friend of mine once, he wanted to buy a lottery ticket and he made a research about the numbers that came the most often, he finally decided the numbers he wanted to play but since he was busy he asked his mother to buy the ticket for him, the next day he read in the newspaper that the numbers he selected won a new car and he was incredibly happy, but his mother decided against it as she thought it was a waste of money and so he missed the opportunity to win a new car.

If there's one thing that I absolutely wouldn't do, it's using a bank card to go and play at the online casino, even at the physical casino, even if I'm a person with a lot of self-control, I wouldn't do that, for the following reason: when a person plays and has money to spare at that moment when he is playing that person will always be tempted to use that money that is with him, the thought will always be that he can use that money and then when he wins he will replace that money and with that thought the person will continue losing money, and will continue thinking that next time he will win and will replace the money but at the end of the day the person will lose all the money that is in the bank. the right thing is for the person to always deposit a small amount, that even when he loses, he will not have more money to deposit

Not carrying credit cards or bank cards is a wise decision or method of a responsible gambler in any casino whether it is online or physical. Because what is said is true and I often know that it still happens to gamblers who have no control over gambling in reality.

At least if the only thing a gambler brings is the gambling amount and nothing else, even if the money he gambled is used up, even if he is still tempted to play, he will be forced to stop or just watch the gamblers play. even if he is in a land-based casino.

Apparently, in this way, they can somehow apply what is called self-control and proper handling of money in gambling.

Lemme just answer from the title first, I can't risk to lose $350k just a friend and for what reason would I have wasted such opportunity if it happens i came across it. If I could have such a friend who would take me backward then no need to have them around.

That is a good strategy but unfortunately it is not very effective in our modern world, almost all banks now have an app you can use to keep track of your income and your expenses, which means that even if you go to the casino without any credit or debit card that makes no difference as it is likely that you will bring your smartphone, now a solution could be to not bring your smartphone with you, but what kind of person does not use a smartphone these days?

you must have misread the OP. he didn't actually lose $350k. it was the possible money that could have been won if a friend didn't take the money on the table.

but this is just a scene on a movie. and he asked away if what we'd do if it happens to us. but either way, losing $350k in 2022 will give you a heart attack.

probably the only case in which somebody wouldn't be really pissed for losing 350k usd is on these cases of people who have more than 20 million usd, and even in these cases

of course there are several situations
losing by risking it in an endeavor is really different than losing it because of a friend

On your statement, only people who have flowing money can endure that amount, but if you are not that kind or you are not a rich gambler, that amount is too much for you to lose.

Though it isn't near to any reality when someone is playing or inside a gambling house, most of them
don't want to be bothered by anyone. Most of them will choose to play quietly as they are focusing
in finding ways to win against the house.

Even those with stable incomes would still feel that amount missed cheaply unless they are such that worth hundreds of million or more. This is money we are talking about, it would affect most people unless they are not from this world. Yet, it's a lesson, one should trust their instincts 100% rather than trusting friends. Because if it were to be he who made the mistake, the psychological effect would be minimal.

However, the consolation of such a person should be towards the fact that it is not real money yet credited, life goes on, it should be forgotten.

you'd be surprised to see that some people have quite different ways to relate to money
some value it to a point losing it hurts a lot
others are way more detached

one of the best ways is probably to approach gambling with a fixed amount where you don't put more if you lose it all
like fixed risk bags

He particularly chose Black 15 for $10K on roulette which he could have won $350,000 but a friend took the $10K and replace a safer bet. I know this is likely not to happen in real life. But let's say it did. What would you do?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fT4GcK6Dpkk
I was trying to look for Kevin Hart movies on Netflix so I found one. Turns out one scene is an unsatisfying win.

The first thing I would do is not blame my friend for my actions.  I don't believe any major casino would allow someone else to move your bet without your approval.  If they did, I would probably complain and try to get the money I was owed.  If I gave the OK to my friend to move the bet, then it's on me.  It could have just as easily gone the other way and then you'd be thanking your friend for the move.  I don't think I would let the chance of a game determine whether or not I was angry with my friend.  That doesn't seem logical.

I had a similar incident, although not exactly in this way. It was 4 years ago. A close friend and I had a joint gambling account. When we were gambling, we made joint decisions and acted that way. But one day it didn't happen that way. When I was going to bet equally on two different games, my friend changed his mind according to his own opinion and played with all the money in one game. He did something like this without my knowledge. At the end of this incident, when we were going to have a lot of money, we didn't have any money. As a result, he is still my friend After this incident, he returned my main money and we ended our partnership. Since then, I have not involved anyone in gambling.

That is why it is better for us not to share our gambling accounts with other people, even our friends, because we do not know when they will use that gambling account. Moreover, if they don't have good self-control, they can use all the money in the gambling account and not ask or tell us about it. This can lead to fights between us and friendships can be damaged because of this little thing. But you are still lucky not to lose that friend of yours and are still my friend.

The account of us in trading must be private and for exclusive use only, you can make a company with meito, that is, you can exchange information but each person must be the owner of their bets and who manages their own account, sometimes when there is money involved, things can become difficult and the person appeals to their emotions and this can lead to misunderstandings, there are people who are very little aware and would not have paid what is owed to them, on other occasions people are more delicate and I would have created a tremendous problem just by making a decision without the consent of the other.

I believe you were very lucky. Because your friend, despite being irresponsible in the game by betting everything on impulse without consulting you first, at least had the character to admit that he was wrong and return his part of the value.

If you were a dishonest person or simply someone who was in financial trouble, most likely you would never be able to recover the lost money.
I have never opened a joint account with friends and I strongly discourage people from doing so.

Obviously, this sum of money can make you achieve a goal faster, but friendship and trust must be very strong in order to overcome any addiction or lack of control on the part of any of those involved... which is very difficult to achieve. achieve.... I don't even trust myself

This is the kind of business that will break a friendship. Even to the most honest person you know, you would rather keep the friendship without having him as a partner in a gambling activity. The fact that he returned the money and ended the partnership means, the friendship has already soured. A life lesson was learned from that situation. Because a friend can think who else can you not betray?

betraying a friend would definitely risk ending the friendship
though it must be possible to have a partnership, work together and separate business from friendship in some cases
it varies, and it's not easy, but may be possible

[gunhell16]

I don't think you can modify your bets once the game have started. It must be against the rules and you will not be qualified anymore whatever the result will be. It's not fun when someone joins your decisions but we can talk with them and tell them if what is the problem. They should stop after it and we can return to the game eventually.

Sometimes our friend can do that because they have an itchy hand and can't be contented on just watching you playing. It can also be a sign that they want to be involved with the game. We must not be angry with them but we can try to provide some capital to them if we have extra money. There is no need to break the friendship.

But according to the video clip, it seems that no rules were violated because the bet was reduced in favor of the banker if the bet was not reduced, the banker would have paid a lot, that's why the bettor's friend was just careless, in terms of caring as a friend

But you're right in what you said, it shouldn't lead to anger that can destroy a friendship, it's good that you said that it's better if you just give your friend a level playing field instead of messing with your forecasting strategy.

[Peanutswar]

It is not ideal to make an all-in with a one-pot game because its just an all-or-nothing game and we know the possible odds with the game mostly with this kind of game, at the end get the courage and make a risky still decision of the player to make it with this large amount it will really test your friendship if you will make it continue or not well if you decision will become tough because its a battle against friendship vs the money situation and trust is really the big deal.

I agree, even if it may seem to be too strict it is never a good idea to mix your friendship with a business venture as it often leads to all kind of trouble, now if both friends can separate their feelings and be as professional as possible then there may be a chance to make this work, but there is not a lot of people which can detach themselves so easily from their feelings, so a situation like the one is mentioned here in most cases will destroy the friendship as the confidence will be lost among the two former friends.
