Gambler avoiding friends after a big win.

[bubilas]

In my life, I came across the fact that my friend, with whom I was on the same financial level, suddenly won a big jackpot and got rich. After that, we talked for a while, but he changed a lot.
Unfortunately, rich people do not understand the problems of the poor, they very quickly forget that they were the same. While they are getting interested in talking about their fancy purchases, the poor man is not interested. He has completely different problems.
It is correct to people say: "a well-fed person is not a friend to a hungry person."

I think this really happens in friendships especially when they are gamblers who when they manage to get a big win in one of their sessions it is not uncommon or maybe even common that they will avoid their closest friends especially those who are also gamblers, and the reason is that they don't want their friends to ask for a share of the winnings so they hide information about their success and pretend not to have money.

This scenario also happened in my circle of friends where at first I did not know why one of my friends suddenly avoided me and after that I heard from one of my other friends who told me that the friend who avoided me had just won a big win in the type of slot game and this happened several times which made me really did not expect that he would act like that even though I had no intention at all to ask for a share of his winnings.

i understand that this is just a precautionary measure, because there are many cases nowadays where the people closest to them are the ones trying to harm them just because they earn a lot of money at one time. so because of this, many gamblers now prefer to stay away from their friends when they win gambling because they are worried that these friends of theirs will try to ask for money from them because they won a large amount of money or try to harm them. so we can't blame a gambler who stays away from his circle when he wins a lot, because there must be a reason behind it all.

It depends on each individual, if they can't control themselves, I mean they might be jealous of their friend who has won at gambling. Of course there is a possibility that their friend could harm their friend who won, but if they are not jealous of course this won't happen, but Indeed, when it comes to money, everyone is sensitive, even family relationships can be destroyed because of financial problems. Also, those who win and then stay away from their friends may have their own reasons, because I'm sure not everyone is like that.

Of course they have their own reasons, whether they win or their friends who want to ask for the results of their winnings, myself, if I get a win, I don't distance myself from my friends, in fact what I do is share it with them and I don't care what I want to use it for, just don't asked again after I shared the winnings I got.

That is definitely without a doubt the main reason is my suspicion that he doesn't want to have his friends ask him for money. Now the question is to what extent is he ignoring his friends? Did he block his number or get a new number altogether? Maybe he saw this as a chance for a new life, a chance to start over with a clean slate and make a new life with new friends for himself. Regardless of what his decision is and what his reasons where its rightfully his money and his winnings, & his luck! Lucky man he is for sure. Hopefully some of that luck rubs off on us for participating in this discussion ;P

He can ignoring his friends by avoids from blocking their numbers or don't wants to meet them. He doesn't wants to see his friends used him for their purposes so he trying to avoids them. His friends can't jealous with him because he can wins the money from gambling and if he avoids them, he can do that easily and will not trying to explain his reasons about that. Regardless of what happens to them, it's better his friends accept the change that he do and don't think much about that. Let's him do whatever he do and his friends can do what they wants without interfere of his lives because when someone change, no one can gets close to him, especially if that person now have a lot of money from gambling. He will thinks about his lives and don't care about other people.

In fact, even the smallest win is worth celebrating with friends, but perhaps that only applies to gamblers who are only after pleasure, not the profits they get from gambling. I think it's true, that not all friends will ask for money or a share of their friend's winnings, so basically avoidance is more precisely called reluctant to share. Meanwhile, in a more intimate circle of friends actually avoiding when getting benefits is rare, because they often get reciprocity from others.

On the other hand, there are many cases where someone is reluctant to share, and that is not wrong, but it is also appropriate that he is not invited when we celebrate a victory with other friends. Personally, try as much as possible to not borrow money from friends who are lucky in their gambling, because it can ruin their winning momentum. Someone definitely has a tendency to share without us needing to ask, at least to treat us to delicious food.

If i were the one as well that make such a big win, being my friend, don't be surprised if i try to avoid you, there are many reasons i can state for me to have done such, because i understand that there are times whereby i may not have any money with me to use for gambling and none of my friends will be able to available and be there for me in heling me out with money in their own little contribution, same way if i loose, nothing can also come out form them as a compensation to assist me get over it, then why should i also have to share my winning with them when they have never been there for me.

There are only two possible reasons on why you would do that;

1. You dont like for your friends to ask out some money from you
2. Or simply you do separate yourself into your friends and make  your own since you do have the money now.

On the time that you would really be finding yourself to be on such condition then it will really be telling on what kind of person you are whether a greedy one
or simply that still the same. There are people who could really be changed up totally by money and if you are someone whose really that too greedy with money
and do want to cherish it all for yourself then you would really be making out such distance.

[virasog]

In good times we forget about friends who stand by us in danger actually it sounds very bad because friends who stand by us in danger are true friends. If he did not help from his side it would not have been possible to bring so many changes in life in terms of money. It is often seen that in good times people have many friends but in bad times their shadow is not seen. If it is not possible to help with money sit next to him and listen to him give courage in this the friend can regain the confidence lost in danger.

I think if we find that our friends trying to avoid us, after getting a big win, it is time to think that they are not sincere with us and end that relationship is better as it is based on certain benefits and it is not sincere. Similarly i have seen a situation where when a friend is in trouble (for example needing a loan to survive after a loss in gambling), his friends leave him because he has become poor and never help him. Those friends are also not trusted and should be avoided.

I think these happy and sorrow moments tell us which friends are good and sincere with us and which ones are just time passing. 

[Slow death]

Here in my neighborhood for example, I have seen many people who, when they are poor, laugh and talk to everyone, they sit around all day talking and ask other people to buy them beer, anything that someone needs help carrying something , they immediately make themselves available to help carry that person’s things. Whoever observes them might think they are angels, but when they get a job that pays them a good salary or earns a lot of money, they become bad people, they start to feel very superior. they disappear from the place they live because they want to be close to rich people. This type of behavior has become normal in my country. If a person from my country wins a lot of money in the lottery, the first thing they will do is become arrogant and will not want to talk to poor people anymore, they will distance themselves from poor friends to only talk to rich friends. but when they become poor they go back to talking to their poor friends.

At one of the local gambling shop I visited during the weekend I happened to listen to a conversation between two bald looking gamblers at the shop talking about one of their gambling colleague who had won a big amount of money amounting to a million in the local currency and due to that win this colleague of theirs' has been avoiding them since e won that money. From their conversation it was obvious that they were a circle of close three friends that gamble together.

After all I finished with my bet headed home and was asking myself what could the colleague act that way avoiding his close friends they all gambling together and just because luck shines on him first he decides to create a distance and class. I couldn't actually annex a good reason why anyone should do that.

any person who win gambling is at risk because the no quite to that it is neither you win your gambling and it disburse the money to some of your friends who participate in gambling with you or you win the gambling and keep it in secret majority people who participated in gambling before and the experience on losses always make sure that they keep their winning in secret and they will not like a situation whereby they exposit to other people to know sometimes they do avoid people so that they will not be much asking of money or demanding of money from them so that they can do or establish yourself with the money they win in gambling

Someone definitely has a tendency to share without us needing to ask, at least to treat us to delicious food.

Yes, it's true, it's more likely to say that celebrating winnings with friends would only be done by gamblers who don't really expect to win in their gambling or those who come with a priority for fun or entertainment so when winning is not a priority then when they are lucky and manage to get a win then it's reasonable to assume that they wouldn't mind celebrating their winnings with their friends. In fact, I've honestly had an experience where I was sitting at a table with someone else and when he won he treated me to some food and drinks, even though I didn't know him at all but he invited me.

On the other hand, I believe and I have proven that kindness is always rewarded with kindness, I experienced that when I did not have any money at all but one of my friends suddenly sent money to me by saying "taste some of my fortune" which scenario made me not hesitate to share some of it back with him when I managed to get a win and this reciprocal scenario applies in any case including gambling.

On the other hand yes it is true that it is not wrong if someone does not want to share the proceeds of his winnings because after all it is his right, but maybe there are some people or gamblers who sympathize with other fellow gamblers and I think this depends on the personality that the person has but obviously sharing can increase the relationship in friendship, and other things yes as you said and it is true that if for example they want to share it then they themselves will definitely offer without the need to be asked.

Sincere friends never leave each other even if the situations are getting worse but if your friend leaves you after a big win then it means that he was not your friend but was using you for his own benefit. Those individuals who leave their friends for their own benefit can never achieve benefit in life and can never become successful.

But if you find that your friend is not a good person and your life is getting worse due to his bad habits then leaving such a company is not a bad idea. But if the reason behind leaving is financial gain then I think such individuals are selfish which will never help you during harsh conditions.

[bakasabo]

I believe that a person would never avoid friends for no reason. If that person from first post made such a decision, then there must be a strong reason for that. We can only predict reasons. Maybe that person is greedy and dont want to share. Maybe this big win is his life changer and he has decided to quit gambling, so he avoid those friends, because they might drag him back into gambling. Maybe that person is no longer interested in gambling. He has caught his luck and dont want to test it anymore.

We don't know the details of this situation. This situation shows that they probably weren’t friends at all, because friendship has to go through various tests. Secondly, it is not clear for what reasons he avoids contact with these people. Maybe he feels that they will ask him to borrow money and does not want this pressure. Maybe something happened to him or some other reason. Personally, I think he doesn’t want to lend them money.
In any case, you need to have such friends so as not to stop communicating with them if someone suddenly gets rich or, on the contrary, becomes poor. Such situations clarify relationships well

I like that idea, if you already suffer before losing a lot of money, then once you win you wanted to keep those money and not to let anyone knows to avoid someone to ask you to lend them or to give portions of your money, it's not greed but being practical to save up your winning money, and logically it's your money  and it's always your right what to do with it.

Though, someone might think that you are doing bad things by avoiding other people but if you just want to save then there's nothing that they can do about it.

We have good topic here that might one of possible reasons why he avoided friends - It’s unlikely that anyone besides you will be happy with your winnings. People are greedy and envious. When someone wins or achieves something, some people start to have a bad attitude to that person. Sometimes they think that that person got all that due cheating or not being fair, some people thing that a winner must share something with them, that this person owes them something. That is why sometimes people limit themselves from such people, because you never know what is on their mind.

Though, someone might think that you are doing bad things by avoiding other people but if you just want to save then there's nothing that they can do about it.

That's why I prefer to gamble alone rather than with friends, so when I win big none of my friends know it's just me who knows I won big at gambling and only I know I lost at gambling, I think maybe it's fun to play gambling with friends but not playing in a casino together, for example playing card gambling with friends in the front yard of the house would be better because even if you don't win much, the results will definitely only be enough to buy food for my gambling friends, but if Playing at online or land-based casinos with friends and winning big is definitely hard to avoid.

Even though our aim is good to avoid it so that they don't borrow money and it ends up being hostile when there is debt between me and my friends, of course avoiding is the most appropriate way, but I am also sure that my friends will not try to come to see me and they will definitely think I'm as greedy as you think because people will only look at the negative side, not the positive side, winning together is a bit difficult to try to avoid, but just to treat yourself to a meal, there's no problem, it's just that we have to be brave people and not feel sorry for our friends. us because they could borrow money to gamble and lose.

Not all bust most likely there would really be those friends or other people who would really be feeling out envious and would be ending up on saying something bad about you or would really be taking out some distance or totally changed because they cant really be able to control their envy and wishes for them to experience the same. If ever they wouldnt really be able to do so then you would really be hearing out those kind of curses or something bad words or whatsoever. Although not all would really be something like this considering that there are really friends which are really that real or someone whose really that happy for you on whatever the things that you had obtained or on what you have achieved.

As for someone or the winner is the one who do make out that kind of distance then it do proves out that you are really that greedy bastard who doesnt really like on getting asked
by some money or bonus but well we do have our own decisions in life.

There might even be friends, who will try to motivate that winner to continue gambling. With cheering and saying "look how well you did" and "you have found a magic strategy to win, keep on gambling", they might lead this guy to loosing everything back. There obviously is a real reason why that guy choose to distance from them. People dont that for no reason. And even a "greedy bastard" does not have to share his winning with friend. I am sure that there is something with friends, not with a big winner.

It is correct to people say: "a well-fed person is not a friend to a hungry person."

Do you know a fact? Such people have always been that way from the inside, it is just that they never had the opportunity to show how they are and what their actual face looks like, and when they get the opportunity, they show their real faces and tell how evil they are from the inside.

Genuinely good people aren't affected by money or richness because they will always have that sincerity and decency in their nature even if they become rich from being poor throughout their lives, and it is only those who were wearing a mask of goodness whose reality is revealed after getting a lot of money.

It's better to have no friends than having such friends in your life. Be happy about him not being your friend anymore.
