Can people still get the addictive nature through friendly games

[mirakal]

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.

The fact that this game creates a fight, then I don’t think it’s a friendly game anymore. No one fights for just a friendly game, and I don’t think friendly games may require some money betting to the extent that one may put hatred over another until it’ll end into misunderstanding and create a fight. Otherwise, you are not into a friendly game anymore, but a serious betting game.

I guess most people will love to argue at all means and is not even funny especially in a friendly game when family and friends gather together and play games but instead someone will turn everything to a drama. This is actually normal mostly when someone is trying to prove a point and the opponent by all means will love to insist so from my view things like this do happen but it should be limited in order to avoid fighting etc, I guess the person in question is a gambler or just want to prove a point using money which is very wrong in a friendly game

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.

Some people have a hard time controlling their competitive nature and can get rather vicious in the way they like to play games. You either accept the way they play or you choose to drop them and only play with people who are more respectful. Even the nicest people can get hyper competitive in certain scenarios and it can bring out some rather nasty traits. However if you are a confident person anyway, you should be able to brush off and ignore this sort of unkind play style, see beyond it as it is unlikely that they will change. It is similar to people who cannot control their anger, they think that other people should be afraid and cower, so will back down when someone confront them on their poor behavior.

And no one wants to lose their friends because of a friendly game. They will not risks that instead just search for the other games that will not harm their relationship. That will not makes them enjoy the games instead will creates a competition and in the end, that can triggers to a fight. A friendly games doesn't require money to enjoy the games but they can play that together with their friends such as playing football or other games without using money. That will helps them to fills their spare money without thinks about competition or else and only wants to enjoy the games together. They will not risks their money for just playing a friendly games because they knows that can gives a bad impact to them. So they will not doing that with their friends, especially if they are all their best friends.

Better not to involve money when doing this because that is right, it can lead to arguing even if they are friends. They won't enjoy but rather create misunderstanding which is why I prefer not to bet money for fairness of everyone. It is more fun having a game when you never think who gonna lose or who's gonna win. They won't take it seriously but rather make this game a bonding moment.
Honestly, not all games need money and not all games need to have tense moments. It is a different environment when you never think about competition, in fact, we are just friends.

Nobody should be losing friends over silly games. Period. Friendship is about having a good time, blowing off steam together. Turning that into some high-stakes competition is a recipe for bad blood. If you're playing with friends, keep the money out of it. Stakes change the dynamic. What's the point of adding that risk when the real reward is just hanging out, messing around? Choose games that are about teamwork, not tearing each other down. That's the smarter play. And honestly, its not about being weak or whatever. Protecting your friendships is one of the most important things you can do. It takes way more strength to value your connections than to let your ego get carried away in a game.

Yes, that's what I thinks because if we playing games with our friends with money involved, that can harms our friendships with them. Because of money, someone or they can changes with someone that we don't knows and that really hurts us if they changes because they wants to posses the money. We can't enjoy the games because it will create misunderstanding with them and that's the reason why they changes. Once I gets that experienced before and from that moments, I don't use money when playing with my friends because I don't wants to feels hurt or something bad with them. Besides that, with only playing the games, we can feels happy because we play the games with our friends and there will be no competitions to chase the wins because we don't wants something bad happens to us.

Nobody wants to losing friends because of anything. That's why we don't have to use money when we playing any games with our friends. Money can change someone easily and that's why we must avoids that when we are with our friends because we don't wants to feels bad with them. We can compete with our friends because of playing the games but not with money because that can makes our moment will disturb with something that we are not predict. Protecting our friendships is something that must take care because having a best friends is difficult to gets and we must realizes when we already have best friends. We must take care each others and protect it together and don't let our ego gets carried away in a games because our friendships is more important than anything.

Yeah, but you won't believe that there are people who would do such things in almost every friendly gathering because they have a too aggressive nature for such gatherings which are friendly and there are friendly games played and there might be light-hearted arguments but nothing serious or personal. There will always be one person in such gatherings who would drag things to an extent where everything will get tensed and all people in that gathering will start feeling intense all of a sudden.

So, it's not like the games aren't friendly, but it is just because of that one person that the games become serious and non-friendly and people will start making bets and stuff either to prove a point or to win a challenge because they have been challenged by that aggressive person in front of everyone.

These are people who provoke other players to play aggressively. They cannot control themselves and try to attract attention to themselves in this way. I think such people usually have big problems with addiction and their own ego. Addiction, to some extent, is a reflection of a person, he wants to prove that he is right through betting, but in the end he will still lose because he will have chaotic actions and attempts to win back at any cost, and this leads to a sad result, because No bankroll rules will be violated. In short, it’s better not to get into a game with such players, because we won’t get a win-win situation from this. And this player, if he wins, will raise his self-esteem and lose a large amount to someone else after a while.

Some people are just too competitive even if there is no prize or money involve.
They always wants to win or be the best, for me it starts on their family or how they grew up.
Sometimes even in conversation we could see those kind of people who wouldn't back down and force their idea or opinion to others.

Which makes them incredibly annoying to be around, as they see every single thing as a competition they must win at all costs and they will stop at nothing just to get their way, however those kind of people face a high  risk if they begin to gamble, because as we know the chances that we will lose against the casino are higher than the chances to win, and if those people began competing against a casino with the intent to beat it, it is likely they could lose a great deal of their money in such a silly quest.

There is a huge difference between competitive, and stubborn.  The people who force their ideas on others are stubborn, and competitive are people who often accept their defeat and strive and train harder for the next opportunity.

I believe these kind of people are not competitive but egoistic, they have to win due to their price and not for being competitive.  I also hate this kind of people because their world and consciousness are only revolving within themselves and does not care about other people.  This kind of people are also vulnerable to gambling addiction since they want to always win, they need to prove that they can beat the game, thus chasing losses will be more likely to trigger if they lose in their gambling engagement.

Not everyone knows this; some really don't care what kind of relationship they share with you once's it's about a game that requires one person to lose and the other to win; they like to take it to a whole different level, not minding if everyone has the same agenda as they do. 
 
Sometimes when the rules of the game are set and they enjoy the privilege of winning some extra cash, they might forget the fact that they only came together to have fun; they might also want to turn that game into business as usual, and once one gambler has this agenda, it's clear that the person is not on their right mind.

[GxSTxV]

Some people just have that in them I guess, I have witnessed that in my workplace, sometimes in our lunch break we gather around and play some games, some individuals take the games way to seriously and tend to add money to the games in a way where they sound very confident that they would win, they always end up losing that money anyways. I always thought about it as an impulsive thing and an act of child.
It shows that those people are very competitive,  maybe they do gamble.
I personally don't advise gambling between friend or with people you hang out with frequently and see more often or even just play any friendly game with them while involving money figures because they could provoke problems and conflicts between them and might ruin the bond they have.

I don't encourage betting among friends, it leads to unhealthy competition and strive. Everyone wanna win, nobody is ready to lose so they forget about the initial plan and strive to win there money by all means of course money is involved. So for betting to come up as the only way to prove support of your idea is wrong, this leads to dragging and also hatred we have seen cases like this. Most persons don't think the way you do, as some are wanna be the head and can't accept winning.

Betting or gambling between friends create too many problems as we have history to things which ended on highly problematic for the peoples those were involved in this all but still we are having gaming which is not involved money or gambling then things are much better and competitive because this creates good environment which is also important even in recent time we are losing too many things and mobile are creating huge distance between friendships and communities but still in few countries we have things which are helping them for having good relationship between friends and communities which is healthy.
While we are involved in gambling then surely we are looking for the money which is going to create serious trouble even we have enmities are started due to this all which ended in the worst way.

[DaNNy001]

Op, I believe the answer to your questions lies in your post already. You mentioned that the person whom lost his money already had pride in him and that lead him to believe to much in himself that he was going to win the game. However pride is not something you develop Instantly, it's a continuous practice that has been in the mind of the person. So yes, he is going to still repeat such if he has the opportunity to do that else where. One of the mistake he made was not acknowledging the fact that gamble is a game of luck and you cannot be always lucky to make wins.

Its not really that bad to have some gambling in together with your friends on which you could really be able to make yourself that be having that fun in together with these but of course there are really instances or conditions on which it might really be causing up that possible condition or scenario on where it could trigger up something like  that having some urge of playing even more or betting even more.Looking at on the condition or scenario on which OP did really that tried to elaborate on which making up some friendly bet games but ending up on having that real approach kind of betting involves real money.We dont really know on how things would really be ending up and we cant be able to tell about those potential problems that might be existing on where there are people who are really that gamblers or could risk out taking on something
on which as long they could be able to deal up with something with other people and been started up then it will really be in continuous manner.

If one of your friends is something like this then you should really be that trying to exclude them out on the said betting but of course since this is your first time
and something that its unexpected then you would be thinking up on having this kind of approach.

[Gozie51]

One of the mistake he made was not acknowledging the fact that gamble is a game of luck and you cannot be always lucky to make wins.

If a gambler doesn't acknowledge luck in gambling then he would like to keep trying after losing and that is what has happened in Op story, he feels that giving out more try will guarantee him winning but it doesn't matter how many times you tried, if you are to win then you will and if not, despite how long you try it will remain hard luck. So not to regret losing, it will be better to play as you can lose and not to persist for another chance for a time of winning.

One thing we must know is that a lot of people out there still don't agree to the fact that gambling is based on luck, I have seen literally several guys who claims they know how to gamble and that their occupation. Making others too believe they can work on themselves to become gambling experts, where has caused a lot of confusion is where a well known gambler becomes so rich and famous for his gambling luck which he calls skills whereas no matter the skill lossing is certain.

The earlier people begin to realize that's not supposed to be something worked too hard on but a lucky game the better it will be, as persistence doesn't matter in gamble rather it would even cause more losses.
