Can people still get the addictive nature through friendly games

[Victorybit1]

Good day friends


Yes the topic name somehow portrays what am about to explain although for a female gender and plus the current society where am staying this kind of habit is somehow strange but I guess most persons must have witnessed it.

So the other day me and my friends both male and female were involved in some house old friendly games like food competition, card game, thumb wrestling and so many more and take to note, all these activities were done just for old times sake and meet between old friends at my place as it included both my husband and his friends but I witness something rather uncalled for.

So I noticed that there were this particular group of guys who really went all out with the friendly and even getting to the extent of making serious argument and almost taking it to the next level for games that were just played for fun purpose and nothing more, it got so worse that the whole atmosphere changed and he instigated that they added some monetary value to the game that he is certain that he isn't going to lose easily and to cut the long story short it went on and on till he barely had much left with him anymore and I had to call the whole thing off and even asked that he money was given back to him but his pride and Shame couldn't allow him to take it back.


So am just curious to know if these little games are the one's that got to him or already developed such habit and to know if possible that the practice will continue elsewhere after leaving there when he lost the money and to look for means through gambling to recover it.

People who are not gamblers do get In some peer-to-peer bets on a norm but it doesn't mean that they have been practicing gambling activities before because people normally make bets among themselves despite that the betting goes with a stake of money but it doesn't mean they have formed it as a habit of always making bets with money. During arguments about something, friends do make bets but it is not enough to classify them as people who are into gambling although there are people that making peer to peer bets makes them become addicted as they hardly makes arguments without wanting a stake to it, I have seen some persons that are like that.

It is not that they are gambling often. This is not how gambling with friends work. Although I can not do it but those that have done it that I know do not look for ways to recover the losses after the game is already over that day. He will consider he has lost and nothing will be more than that. You have done your part by ending the game. The way it is for those online casinos is different as a gambler that lost yesterday may still think today to recover yesterday losses.

He had already developed that habit before the party it just happened that you guys started a game that he thought he could win and coupled with his pride he wasn't ready to show others that he was a loser or ready to submit to the fact that he has lost so he tried gambling to try to win back what they have won from him but it only ended with him losing more.

All that happened was as a result of pride and overconfidence - and that your friend has had it all along but it manifested due to the game that you guys played.

If this is indeed a friendly game then you must all be know that you are not fighting against each others instead you are just enjoying the game with bets or not.

But for me ? our friendly game requires no money but just to enjoy our day together that we have been doing for many years now at least once a month when we have time to consume.

It is possible that before the activity was held there was no agreement on the final result, meaning that the gambling game was purely used for fun and nothing more than that and this activity was also used as an activity to gather with friends to build friendly relationships.
And not only that, with these experiences and incidents, it can be concluded that you and your other friends can find out the personal character of one of your friends, namely that he cannot maintain consistency in the game and he has a very high level of greed because he knows that he will always win and profit in the game and he doesn't think about the feelings of his other friends if he loses a lot of money.

That little games is just a games but people add something that's look the games is more attractive and makes them eager to playing the games. People doesn't realizes that playing little games can changes their minds and becomes a tight competition between them. It's a wrong because their minds change the games because of something that's not worth to do but everything change just soon after they thinks to add something that can makes the games more fun.

When someone instigated the other people and say that they will not lose in games, the other people will attract and will gets exciting to do something that unusual. That makes the games started to change without they realizes, even if some people already lose on the games but that doesn't stops them and realizes what happens to them. Those practice can continue if those people doesn't realizes what happens to them because their minds is also change. It's why we must be careful when we play a games with our friends and needs to realizes when we can stops the games.

You're hitting on something big that many miss. Gambling is about people, not flashy casinos. Competitiveness drives us. It grabs anything, even silly games. Its obvious: things start innocently, then emotions heat up, the desire to win rises, and habits form. It starts like this for some. The absolute brightest minds recognise this human inclination. Even when having fun, we must look for early signals. These small games may inspire some to seek that rush in broader ways. Keep those competitions pleasant. Try skipping bets for safety. Its fine to desire to win, but caution goes a long way.

[Hispo]

Though, one needs to have a clear distinction between what an addiction is and what competitiveness is. From this little story you have brought to us, it seems to me your partner is rather a person who does not like to lose against others and also has a very strong feeling of pride.
Those characteristics of a person does not necessarily mean they are going to end up being addicted to gambling or betting, but those certainly do not help.

It would seem to me, your spouse could get easily hooked to typical casino games if he started to play regularly and if if started to lose money, then he would start to chase it all down, because of his pride.
If I were you, I would try to have a heart-to-heart with him and talk about how he is not supposed to partake in actual gambling in the future, for the sake of your financial stability.

Also, I would like to point out how this trait of personally your spouse has is not completely negative, if used for other things like working or exercise, it could be translated as something very positive  .

Good luck to both of you.

Those games are family fun time games at special moments especially at a get-together, family reunions and anniversary, to me, it's highly uncalled for to turn the games into something of different interest and purpose. That's just being immature.

I tell you, those tow guys are already into gamble before that event, and something tells me they have ahead of the date of the family event planned on gambling among themselves by involving monetary means into it, it's a premeditated act, and that's why it happened that it was just the two both that were indulge into it when other persons were having and enjoying family game's time.

It is likely they may continue it somewhere else or may not but the likelihood of continuing it for recovery of the loss depends if he's one such addicted gambler.

Your very right about this, competitiveness drives us, thigns can go from a mere play with friends into showing who is boss, like today I went to the field to play football with my hood friends, but we had not all gathered together completely to play a 11 to 11 Match so we decided to play a mini game called fool( I don't know if you have hear about this but its quite popular in my area, we play a game of 3 wings and one persons plays chase in the middle and who ever loses the ball to him would chase next 😉), we got into an argument of who would chase first, and the only option to decide this was to juggle the ball and who ever comes last starts the chase, two of my friends still argued about who was best at juggling and decided to stake 1k on it.

To cut the whole story short, as long as people woudl want to compete it can also turn into a gambling event.

I will also say that was what happened to his partner. Some people just like not to lose and will continue until they will see it favoring them. But if you are gambling with someone, it is different from when you are gambling with no one but the gambling site. There is no feeling of pride in that. But if he is not having experience but new to gambling, he can lose and start chasing loss. But this is different from when gambling with someone that you have argued with that led to betting.

He is very competitive. It is not even gambling related but personality related. Individuals this this type of personality do not others to get ahead of them. If they in a group they want to be the leader. They are the most outspoken people and will challenge authority. And when in a play competition they will not care whether its with friends and even their kids, their goal is that no one beats them.

[Wapfika]

If this is indeed a friendly game then you must all be know that you are not fighting against each others instead you are just enjoying the game with bets or not.

A friendly game means you are still fighting to each other but no hate after the game. The presence of competition is what makes a friendly game more fun but it only differs to the intensity of the risk and reward since normal gambling games usually left the loser in sad state because he lose while they don’t know each other personally or simply no string attached.

But for me ? our friendly game requires no money but just to enjoy our day together that we have been doing for many years now at least once a month when we have time to consume.

Then this is not a gambling friendly game but only a normal game without any money involves. You can’t categorize it as addiction if you always doing it because it’s not gambling at all.

If he's already a gambler he can do that, but friendly games can't trigger people to be a gambler, people start gambling in casinos or gambling platforms because there's a lot of challenge and excitement there compared to friendly games.
In friendly games there's no challenge in winning the goal is for all involved to have fun In friendly games there should be no big money involved, and it should not lead the way to be addictive in gambling.
Frien

friends should not encourage one another to become too involved to gambling that they will become addicted to it.

Good day friends


So I noticed that there were this particular group of guys who really went all out with the friendly and even getting to the extent of making serious argument and almost taking it to the next level for games that were just played for fun purpose and nothing more

well those boys are competitive type in which they don't value friends better than winning and with
that attitude there is a thousand chances that those boys will be addicted or already an addict in gambling.

if we are playing friendly better that the rules must be impose and those who will not follow must
be out of the game.

This open up some curiosity in mind of some people since they would think that its really possible to have fun then on side they can earn money by simply placing some bets on what currently they do. If there's no people will give them an advice that taking so much those activities seriously will be harmful to them. But usually we cannot get a valid advices since what happen there is the people around us let those betting activities happen since gambling is normal everywhere and some of our relatives or parent just don't care since what they think is their children just have fun with their friends.

There are people level up and goes to more higher level since they think that competition is more exciting and rewards become more bigger. Then this is how everything start for a newbie gambler either they became an gambling addict or became a controlled person which also have good funds and risk management on any site that they are spending their time.

[Negotiation]

It's natural for people to turn from small games to bigger ones and then to addiction. Because when the games gradually become more and more interesting they will begin to bet on bigger games in their minds where earning money is not a job just play and fun and relaxation which leads to addiction. That's why I think it's better to stay away from this little game if you are self aware the risk will be less. You must have a strong will power time should not be given more than a certain time on the Internet. More time should be given to one's work sports should be given time to chat with friends.

[Onyeeze]

Understand what is additive and whatever thing we do, so from my own understanding of being a gambling additive is where you are over excited and then when you are desperate in your gambling or in whatever thing you are doing it is when they said that you are addicted so therefore a friendly game can make you to be addicted when you do it consistently, that is why it is good or something or someone to have a limitation in everything that they do so whatever you doing have a limitation to be curious on things by you do make sure that you have a target and they have a boundary adjustment and whatever thing you do

[btc_angela]

Yes, that usually happens though, I mean perhaps it's the competitive nature of the game or the person itself. But at the end of the day, if they are really friends, then they can shake hands after this and treat as nothing, and what others said, friend games.

But if the person took it personally, and he sees that it's no friendly games but rather want to win some money, whether he is addicted or just mad at the other guy/gals, then there is something wrong with that individual, in my opinion.
