If gambling is not about winning and losing or if there is only a chance of winning and there is absolutely no possibility of risk occurring then obviously there is no problem if you want to borrow money to gamble, but obviously as you said about what if we lose? of course it will be very difficult to feel okay when you are in a situation like that, which is why it is always not recommended to gamble using borrowed money, you will get a lot of pressure and problems from the gambling you do and also from the money you borrow.

So obviously we should emphasize a proper understanding of gambling and also maintain awareness, I think with that you will not be rash in making every decision, you will be more able to consider everything with a precaution for the sake of financial balance.

Even those that had a method to become profitable gamblers cannot afford to ask for a loan to gamble, and that is because even they cannot be sure they are going to win the next bet as they are still relying on things going their way in order to get a win, and when that is the case people need to avoid at all costs to ask for a loan, as if they do and they lose now they will have to pay that money back with interests or fail to pay a friend or a family member on time, something that can strain your relationship really fast.

That's what we have to ask ourselves, whether we are the borrowers of the money or the people who lend the money to others. We will be in unpleasant situations and conditions because we know each other well, and because of money problems, our relationship with him will become uncomfortable. That's what we have to think about, but it seems like people who want to borrow money from us won't think about it because what's important to them is how they can get their money immediately. If this happens, we shouldn't lend money to anyone who wants to use the money for gambling because that will make each of us feel uncomfortable.

We must explain to people who want to borrow money to gamble that this will only make things difficult for us. It would be better for him to use his money for other things besides gambling. We can also refuse to give loans to people who want to use them for gambling, and they don't force us to lend them money.

It's not a good thing to take out a loan to gamble, because we can't be sure of winning the game we're playing and if we force ourselves to borrow money to gamble, we'll certainly have problems if we don't win and have to pay the loan we've borrowed and also We will get a lot of problems if we use our gambling money from loans, so it would be better for us to gamble according to our financial conditions and not spend all our income on gambling.

Good day everyone,,, I would like to share my winning with you guys, but I am not just doing it because I won the bet, but it is because it wasn't the amount I wanted to stake that I staked.

A friend of mine collected $10 from me earlier yesterday and I wanted to use the money to gamble, but based on, he is my friend. I gave him the $10 he asked for, and the guy said he would return the $10 back ASAP after 3 hours, but he didn't and the $10 was the amount and same money I wanted to use and stake a bet (I have some coins but don't have cash and I don't want to sell any penny of my coins for any reason). But letter on, I used 1000 naira ($1) to stake the bet and I won 49,814 naira (about $50+).

Now I am angry at my friend because he didn't keep to his words. Although I am still happy about the win, I wish he had given me back the $10. Then, I would have win bigger money.

What would you do if you had lost this bet ? Would you become happy that your friend didn't keep his word ?
You wouldn't have placed a bet of $10 and lost it in that case. Things don't work that way.
You can be mad at him for not keeping his word and not returning the money at the right time.
But don't be mad at him just because you could have used more money to place the bet that you won.
You could have lost too. It's all just luck and so stay happy and enjoy your returns.

Absolutely.

That's how most people actually behave.

When they win, they wanted to gamble more, and they take all the credit.

If they lose, they wanted to gamble less, and they blame everyone else about it.

[SeaCoinCollector.]

Congrats on your win! It's normal for you to feel conflicted after what happened with your friend, but it's great that you were able to turn a small win into a big win. Situations that you didn't expect can sometimes deliver pleasant surprises. You should focus on the good things that happened, and who knows, your luck might get even better in the future. Congratulations!

[Richbased]

Now I am angry at my friend because he didn't keep to his words. Although I am still happy about the win, I wish he had given me back the $10. Then, I would have win bigger money.

I don't see any reason why you should be angry at your friend because one, he's your friend and secondly, what if you didn't win the bet? You would have been glad you borrowed him part of the money. Moreover, you weren't so sure about the game playing because regardless of the fact that you won the bet, you can't really be frank to me that you had no other money with you rather than the one you used in playing the game, though it might also be that you've set out your budget on the amount you wish to gamble with but in summary, just be happy for the one you won because if I ask you if you've won bets higher than that amount since then, we Will find out that you've not won such an amount again or even if you do it's not on several occasions.

Anyone believing too much in the success of their betting is not wise as the surest bets could end up in losses which calls for caution by everyone. Think of it, is it not even overconfidence that someone would say they have a sure winning strategy in gambling and because of this look for loans to bet? I do not see the good end here even if the person is given the loan. I have seen such cases before that they will be making mouths, even some would approach me that I should be their betting sponsor thereby slipping the profit. But I asked them, who will split the losses with me in case they lose as well? Seeing the lives of these guys, you will know that if they are truly winners and not just having big mouths in gambling, they would have improved their living all by themselves. Imagine, they are working, but for their addiction to gambling, they will be wasting most of their earnings and still looking for ways to cajole me to join their idiocy. This is very bad.

[blockman]

@rachael OP or everyone that have the same scenario as you. You just have to accept what has happened and it's a situational moment that we always used to say or think that say with these what if moments of our lives. We have no time machine and we can't go back in the past. What we can do is to embrace the moment and cherish that moment that you've won such amounts because no one's going to do it for you but only you. Maybe disconnect that friend to your life and don't give any loans again ever.

Borrowing or lending money for gambling purposes can strain relationships and create uncomfortable situations. Even if you want to, you need to consider the potential consequences and communicate openly about the associated risks. Explaining how lending money for gambling could negatively affect the relationship emphasizes the importance of maintaining healthy connections and encourages responsible financial behavior.

People who are seeking money for gambling may be focused on their immediate needs, but it's crucial to make them aware of the potential long-term consequences. Setting boundaries and refusing to lend money for gambling purposes is a reasonable and self-protective decision. It sends a clear message about the values and priorities you uphold. It's an act of self-care that can contribute to maintaining healthier relationships and avoiding unnecessary financial strain.

That is why if we do not want our friendship with friends to become uncomfortable, we should not borrow or lend money for gambling purposes. There are many cases like that where friendships end up breaking down, and they even become enemies with each other because of small problems. Money problems are often serious problems that can affect the relationship between both parties and ultimately can also affect other friends. We must be able to take good care of ourselves so that we don't experience unpleasant incidents, especially with our friends.

If people look for money from gambling to be able to make money to meet their daily needs, they won't make money because it is difficult to get. They could actually lose their money if they aim like that because gambling is not a place that can give money. They won't be able to make money every day from gambling, so they don't need to. But if they borrow money from anyone to gamble, it means they don't care about themselves and their families because there are risks behind borrowing money that they might not even think about.

[Shamm]

Borrowing some money to our friends and left message or  saying that you will return it in a few hours or days then that is a big problem. Cause nowadays those people who are asking to borrow some of your money and promised that they will return it all away and after an hours, days or even week's there's no money coming from you   then one thing for sure that friend of yours are not afraid of you nor he take the advantage of your friendship in order to borrow some money.

Someone will inevitably borrow money from you because that's how we all make enough to survive and purchase necessities. If you're tight on cash, your only option is to borrow money from friends or family. However, there are always some who pledge to pay up their loan on the specified day but ultimately postpone it for personal reasons.
 
It's reasonable that if we win later and think we could have earned more if our friend's money had been returned sooner, we would experience regret or a sense of lost opportunity.
This kind of reaction is natural in situations where the outcome could have been different based on the circumstances. and because of this, we ought to refrain from setting any sort of repayment expectation in order to prevent misunderstandings and disappointments.

We can return the money if we win, but what if we lose? How can we return the money? We will have difficulty returning the money. Therefore, we should never borrow money to gamble because there is no guarantee that we can win from gambling. We could lose all the borrowed money, and it will be difficult to return the money. However, we must be able to restrain ourselves by not borrowing money from anyone to gamble because that will only give us problems. With the self-control that we have learned previously, we can restrain ourselves from that, and we should do other things that can provide benefits and make money from other things.

Instead of gambling, there is another way for you to get the money back or pay off the debts you owe other people. You could look for a better job or find another way to make extra money that you believe will help you pay off your debts. After all, if someone only concentrates on gambling as a source of income, they are not thinking clearly and are only living for the moment. They are looking for easy money, but if they lose well, say goodbye to their money.
 
Therefore, why don't we concentrate on long-term financial goals like having our own savings and investments and creating a secure financial future instead of dangerous behaviors like borrowing money for gambling?

Well, that's true especially if you are gonna take a loan just for gambling, you are just making your own problem that way. The thing is some people consider gambling as an investment where you can make your money grow like the OP from $1 to $50, but the thing is it depends on the financial status of a person if they can afford to gamble with having extra money then that's fine as long as you gamble responsibly if you have issue financially then choose to borrow money to gamble hoping to win and pay your debt, then that's the worst case scenario.

Therefore, why don't we concentrate on long-term financial goals like having our own savings and investments and creating a secure financial future instead of dangerous behaviors like borrowing money for gambling?

People are tempted to win even with the lower chances of winning cause you wouldn't know that a one-time bet could change your life. But it is a dumb thing to do to risk your loans where the chances of winning rely on pure luck.

[GxSTxV]

It is unfortunate that your friend didn't keep his word and give you back your money in time, otherwise you would've won more than just 50$≈.
But it is a lesson for you so next time you will be more ready to gamble with the right amount of money and have the opportunity to win more from your betting. Meanwhile, you shouldn't feel bad because at least you earned that bet which is very impressive.
I see that you have the skills and vision in sport betting and I believe that you are going to face more and better opportunities in the future but just make sure to be ready and have the right amount for betting to not miss such big chances and win bigger.

When it comes on minding on how to pay up debts then people would usually be sticking into those options on which they do saw that it would be the fastest way on doing so and this would really be through gambling
on which this is something that the first choice to those who dont really like on doing hard work or would really be liking for everything would be on fast pace. No one really likes into those slow way
on resolving things out and this is why they would really be having those kind of choices on which they would really be able to see that acquiring or making things possible is on there but majority do really fail
on what are the things that they should gonna do or thinking up about the risks involved on which they would really be that busting up all the money that they do have.

Having those kind of regrets and sayings into your mind or deep inside telling that you should have win bigger if you have put up bigger or you havent let those funds been borrowed
then you would be saying the opposite thing on the time that you do see that it is really a lost bet. It is really just that normal that you would be thinking or saying
the opposite if the result would really be winning on which it would be a normal approach i should say.

That's true, because outside of gambling I also feel that way, when my friend borrowed money for reasons that weren't for gambling, he promised to pay it back within the specified time period, but in reality it wasn't like that, he didn't pay at the time he said. Moreover, if they borrow money to gamble and say they will pay it back within a predetermined time, that doesn't guarantee they will actually pay it back, because obviously the chance of winning at gambling is very slim, if they say that I think it's just nonsense. Moreover, I myself would not lend money to other people if the purpose was to gamble, because if I did that I would be giving way for them to become addicted to gambling.

I hope you don't be careless with money matters, because it can affect a relationship, whether it's a family, partner or friendship, with those who can't pay off their debts, of course it will make them feel awkward with each other, especially for the borrower who is clearly embarrassed because he can't. returning what they should return at the time set by their own mouths.

Yes, the situation experienced by the OP is quite annoying, but however it is something that should have happened, if you feel sorry for lending money to his friend I think it is a natural thing because I'm sure all gamblers who experience such situations will also feel the same way, but here he is still quite lucky because at least he can still get a win even though the amount is not too large. This is a good experience, but I don't think it's necessary to focus too much on making it a lesson, for fear that in the next session he will do things that are beyond his ability such as always putting large amounts in the hope of getting lucky like before, we must remember that after all this is gambling which means that different times will have different results too.

So stay focused by only putting the amount we can be responsible for, it's better than putting a large amount but in the end it doesn't match the wishes and obviously you will feel upset and maybe emotional and also because even though there is a chance of winning on the other hand you must understand that it is nothing more than a "chance" which may not necessarily be 100% at the end of the session.

Congratulations!

Yeah, it is best to simply enjoy the present, specially when they just won something.

At the end of the day, there is no point thinking too much about the past, because there's no way to change it.

The past is history. You can only learn from it, and move on.

[FinePoine0]

Good day everyone,,, I would like to share my winning with you guys, but I am not just doing it because I won the bet, but it is because it wasn't the amount I wanted to stake that I staked.

A friend of mine collected $10 from me earlier yesterday and I wanted to use the money to gamble, but based on, he is my friend. I gave him the $10 he asked for, and the guy said he would return the $10 back ASAP after 3 hours, but he didn't and the $10 was the amount and same money I wanted to use and stake a bet (I have some coins but don't have cash and I don't want to sell any penny of my coins for any reason). But letter on, I used 1000 naira ($1) to stake the bet and I won 49,814 naira (about $50+).

Now I am angry at my friend because he didn't keep to his words. Although I am still happy about the win, I wish he had given me back the $10. Then, I would have win bigger money.

I would like to advise you something about lending money, you lend him money to save his opportunity or danger. But you are not able to pay the money at that time, but if you had kept more money at that time, your winnings would have been more and your benefits would have increased.You pressure your friend to save money, pressure him to pay you back quickly. I bet your prediction is very good and according to the strategy you won. And that's how you increase your bet even more.
