As a regular poster in the gambling discussion section here and also a big sports fan, I frequently engage in bets with my friends and relatives on many occasions and sport events. For example last week my cousin insists that Haaland will win the upcoming Ballon d'Or award, while I'm also confident that Messi will secure his 8th trophy easily in this edition.
From that I noticed that we don’t have any friendly wagers here in gambling section which I haven't observed before, So let me give you an example of what we can establish if you like it:
So by following several sport threads here such as LaLiga. Lets say one user posted his opinion and analysis about the next match between RMA against RSO and he thinks that RMA won’t win that match, another user reply to him and disagree with him…. From that both users can agree to do a friendly wager or a bet between each other and set a value for the bet, and after the match is over the user who lost that bet should pay up to what they both agreed on.
It should be a fun thing only with small amounts and hopefully everyone keeps his word, I know many people would say that it’s better to just bet on a casino but I think it’s more fun here and also sometimes you can agree on better returns.
What do you think about this? I hope it’s not breaking any rules here.
It is not as common as I think it could be but I still see it happening often enough, we have had bets on who will be the next US president, pools, fantasy leagues and other direct bets among the forum members, and as far as I know such behavior is not breaking any rules on the forum or anything like that so there is nothing wrong with it, and without a doubt gambling against fellow forum members can be quite exciting, however there is not enough action to sustain your gambling urges, unless you are fan of a bunch of sports and you decide to participate on almost any relevant thread on this section of the forum.
