How about your experience in taking part in the same bet with friends?

[KiaKia]

I have done crazy things with friends before, crazy game of betting and losing or wining but that was then, the experience is quit fun and entertaining, but now that I am a grown up person, there is many tasks at hand to meet my target, now I have responsibilities, gambling with friends at this age isn't on my list.

Also, all my old friends are no longer living nearby, we now talk on the phone once in a while, they have their homes to look after, families and others, I doubt they will want to us to come together to gamble, they are not gamblers by blood, we only gamble then because we were young.

Maybe if some day, digital identity works like some new projects are gearing up to bring into reality, then we can try new things even while we are all afar from each other, I've been hearing some stuff about metaverse capability, I think it should be possible to make gambling more life like in the future.

Wins and losses are common in gambling. Losing a bet creates a lot of human stress for many gamblers because there are many gamblers who bet such money that they cannot afford to lose.

Some other gamblers after losing betting money they become depressed. Most of the time I have gambled alone and some times gambled with friends. There are some positive and negative aspects of gambling in these two situations. I feel a bit relaxed there when I participate in the same bet with my friends. Because even if I lose there, I get consolation seing from others. At the same time there are some differences of opinion before betting which sometimes creates confusion.

Have any of you had any such feelings?

Is there less human pressure if gambling is conducted in the same place with friends?

The difference that you could really be able to feel when you are betting with friends is that on the time that you both have experienced those loses then this is where you would really be telling into yourself that it is really just that fine because you do have that someone that accompanies you with your loses on which this  could really lessen up the burden or the stress that it might actually give on which it would really be something that
other people might really be feeling on and this is why they are really that fond on betting in together with their friends on which we know that this is something that would really be that depending or according into someones preference.

When it comes to my own experience then it doesnt matter whether having a friend or not, it wont really be giving out that different feeling on which on the time that i do lost a bet then it would really be giving out
that frustration but since you are already prepared on what to come then i do easily moved on and make another bet as long my bankroll isnt depleted yet then it would really be continuing on playing.
This is something that you should really be having in mind so that you wont really be finding yourself that too impulsive.

Why do people gamble with friends? To be honest, I don’t quite understand this. I believe that gambling is for single people. Friends will most likely interfere with your play. But here a lot depends on what your goals are in the game. If your goal is to get rich, then it's probably not a good idea to play with friends. Firstly, to do this you need to adhere to one strategy, and friends are people with different characters and different worldviews. They may have different ideas about what is good and what is bad.
Secondly, friends can distract you. But if your goal is simply to have fun with friends to watch a sports match, then you are doing the right thing.

Is there less human pressure if gambling is conducted in the same place with friends?

It depends on the kind of friends,
If they are good friends that are not in any competition with you, you will not feel bad if you loose and they win, there will be no pressure. They will cheer you up.
If they are bad friends, they will criticize you if you loose and they win, they may make you get depressed.

Sometimes I also share bets with friends, in these scenarios, you should agree on where you both want to bet mutually because if not, you should just separate. If you do share a bet, there should be no blaming if your bet loses. And the fun should not disappear even if you lose; don't take it seriously because gambling is just a pastime. But the most enjoyable part is when both of you win in the end and celebrate together where you want to celebrate your winnings.

[Crypt0Gore]

Gambling alone is peaceful, gambling with friends should be peaceful too but unfortunately, we are all different, there are many types of friends in the world, and you can only know if they are true friends or not when money is involved, true color are mostly revealed when its all about the money.

Some friends will turn enemy when they gamble, because one loses money that he isn't ready to lose, I am a living witness to this, and they hate for a while but later they get along again, but why the fight if all they seek for was fun?

Definitely, they wanted to make money among themselves, and anyone who losses will surely not be in a good mood, imagine robbing your friends of their good mood because of gambling? This is why I don't encourage it, unless you are certain about the company you keep.  

[Baki202]

The feelings I get from gambling with friends are different from the ones I get when I gamble alone. When I gamble alone, I tend to internalize things. There's a lot of soliloquizing. When I gamble with friends, we tease each other at the slightest moment during the game. Even a loss of funds doesn't feel like a loss because what you lose there is gained in the bonding and socializing that comes from being with friends. With friends, you cannot chase losses, and you cannot place a stupid bet that is above what you planned because there is always that one friend who will talk some sense into you. Gambling with good friends is like a risk management strategy.

I have a few friends and they hardly gamble. They don't know that I gamble always because I gamble when I am on my cell phone and if I don't tell you, they won't even know whether I gamble or not. And the kind of guy I am, I even prefer to gamble alone, when I lose, I know it is on me. A lot of people are bad when it comes to prediction and they will want to give you a code. I am not usually interested in stuff like that. The reason I don't want to expose my gambling habit is that they will want to discourage me from gambling. and I don't need bad energy when I am gambling. I always try as much as possible to be positive, and even when I don't win, I will be there next time.

If you think that gambling is a cash cow and you cannot address or accept losing then gambling is not for you and you should look for other platforms that will let you win and make money which I doubt if you can find one.
If losing becomes depressing for you then you are not playing money that you can't and you expect to make money from your bets.

Whether you are with or without your friends when betting you should always accept the outcome winning and losing is natural and expected on gambling if your losses and winnings do not have big different in gaps then you are lucky, so many gamblers winnings are rare to come.

Gambling with friend is more entertaining and funky than when I gamble alone. This reason is that I don't just enjoy the game but I also enjoy the company and social life during that period. I love chilling in the eveni g with my friends on weekends drink g and watching the match which we placed our bets on.

Sometimes, we don't bet on the same club, and whenever the club I bet on score, I will laugh at them and we would conclude by saying it is not yet over until it is over. While sometimes we do the analysis of that match together, and bet on the same club. It makes me feel more lively, and I would not mind if I lose. This also helps us from encouraging one another to only gamble with little amount of money.

I have a gambling buddy back in college and we are dominating the local gambling that called Heads and Tails , we are playing together joining our money and yes we are winning and losing together .
so what you are asking is common feeling from my end and that is until now that I am not playing with friends instead i play with my wife.

Gambling in order to get rich is already a big mistake here, regardless you gamble alone, with friends, with parents or with pastor, the result is same.

People gamble with friends are either like your second reason or they're want to build relationships. Probably they will able to make new friends, get a better job, get a new knowledge, learn communication skill etc. Relation is really important nowadays.

[coin-investor]

I have experienced placing bets with my friends and everything is fun and there's no pressure involved as long as you think it's all about having fun but when you're with your friends you should not indulge too much, you should not show them that you are a big bettor or try to show off that you can big bettor.

The only difference between betting alone and betting with friends is there is no pressure to win and you can accept your losses more because you are not the only one who loses.

But I don't want to bet with my friends all the time, there are some habits that you don't want to show when you are betting that you alone should know one of these is how you hate yourself when you are losing, you don't want your friends to hear cursing yourself.

[aioc]

I tried it only twice, and I found it enjoyable, it strengthens your friendships but I cannot do it many times and a long time when you're playing with your friends you are limited on what you can show, you cannot bet more than what all your friends are doing.
If you are a big bettor and your friends can't keep up, there will be disagreement it's like you want to brag that you can bet higher than your friends, or if you win a huge amount of money you are obligated to share a portion of your earnings.
There are times that it is enjoyable to play with your friends but most of the time you want to play alone and go at your own pace and think of your strategy to enjoy and win.

Totally strengthens specially if you are someone whose been with you for long or simply with your bestfriend and betting in together will really be something enjoyable and giving up that kind of boost up.
Things turns out to be sour on the time that both of you would really be experiencing loses on which it would be depending whether the mood of both of you would changed up or would really be just that simply moving on since you are already wary on the thing that could really happen. We do know that when it comes to gambling then this something that could bring us some fun on which it would be that understandable.

It would really be just that depending on someone on which one would really be something that would be entertaining for them whether they do go solo or with friends.
There are people who do wants or likes to have with friends and there are ones who do go solo.

[piebeyb]

I never gamble with my friends even though they are a lot of gamblers. I never bet on the same bets because just us being friends doesn't mean we have to share the same losses. I prefer to gamble at home alone rather than with my friends because my friends often borrow money. money to me so I never gambled with my friends since then even though we were friends but when gambling we had different views when gambling was never the same and I also never followed them.

That doesn't mean I ignore my friends but on the one hand sometimes we need to bet normally as usual instead of having to gamble feeling the same defeat and making the atmosphere worse even though in other people's eyes losing with friends is fun but for me no, I'm not that person. who are happy like that because our experiences are definitely different when gambling, there are those who gamble for money and there are those who gamble for entertainment like me, so when I lose I never try to gamble again while my friends will definitely force me to gamble again with my money, The point is that gambling alone is better than gambling with my friends. lol

I have experienced shared betting with my friends and the feeling was a bit weird; we happened to win 2/5 games and obviously, we suffered from loss. But since it is a shared bet, the amount wasn't that big individually. Also, the idea of we all lost, ease the negative emotion after losing our wagers. I still managed to enjoy things that time simply because we shared laughter on that betting session as we often call it. It just didn't happen again becaause of our conflict with schedule.

However, it would be normal to have feelings of regrets and such in both winning and loaing bet. There will always be that thought of 'I should have bet alone' especially if your personal bet guess happened to be the winning one but majority's decision should be followed. However, that's the idea already; if it happened to be a winning bet then you'd celebrate with them. Losing will always be a part of our gambling journey and we should accept any outcome. This depends on what kind of an individual you are and how you percieve gambling as an activity.

[Zanab247]

I guess every gamblers always feel bad whenever they experienced lost from their gambling at the moment and, whenever I experience lost from a particular bet I played privately and, it use to change my mood through out the day which nobody at home will know because I don't use to gamble im public.

I hard such story from one of my friends in those days in school and whenever she lost huge amount of money in gambling, she will be comfortable to say it to people in a week later based on she use to gamble where her friends will give her some words of encouragement that will make her not to worry too much about the lost.

[Japinat]

I feel more confident and less stress betting with friends on the same pick. However, I will not just follow blindly, betting with friends is fun as you'll think that the pick was carefully analyze, more heads are better than one as they say, so it's expected that the winning chance is highter.

I also bet against friends, but it was just a friendly bet so it doesn't need to be a serious amount of money, when I feel serious with betting, I just make sure I bet it online, at least no feelings involve and if I win I won't hurt anyone's feelings.

[Awaklara]

Is there less human pressure if gambling is conducted in the same place with friends?

the reduction in pressure may be due to the situation you get from a place where you play with your friends which is quite comfortable. it must be because the situation is quite entertaining for you when you experience defeat and it reduces the pressure of defeat that you receive.
In other cases, if a gambler plays alone and loses the game, he may do something negative, such as destroying the device or damaging something around him. I have a friend who is a gambler like that. So the role of friends around us can lighten the atmosphere so that it doesn't put too much pressure on you.

But I personally prefer to play alone, even though I sometimes join in with friends who gamble. but I always avoid playing with friends around.

[Sunderland]

Yes, winning something together with friends will certainly be more fun and when we lose with the same bet it can also ease a bit of our disappointment, because we are not alone on that.
But when the bet is lost or when we bet on a different team in one match, there is a chance that we can blame each other and this can cause quarrels with friends.
Its okay to bet together with friends, but its not wise if you do it continuously.
