A quick assessment: How has relationships helped your gambling activities? ‎

[Accardo]

Gambling with the help of my associates have been very helpful to me. When I don't have the time to do a proper research and analysis my friends share booking codes with me that can I can copy, I just simply edit the games to my taste when I feel it's necessary. This makes betting more fun for me because I have people to share ideas with and make it less stressful. I have some games through this means

My friends are helpful in confirming if what I'm thinking is similar to their prediction, just like the editing aspect comes when some prediction are not conforming with me, then the others that correlates with my ideas are left in the booking. However, friends are much more effective on deep gambling conversation and sharing of emotional developments; good or bad. Gambling friends easily understand little changes than non-gamers, and there is the perfect obligation of my friends; hearing my confessions.

[Pandu Geddon]

I have seen many gamblers whom by the virtue of friends they keep have been addicted and all they do is to leave the kind of life their friends are leaving as birds of the same feathers, this is no more a companionship, but disaster on them because of bad influence, they live in sch a life that every of their decision in life depends on their friends ideas and are subjected by thy their own opinions for considerations, acceptance or rejection, which is one of the reason they have been found lacking behind, because living such kind of lifestyle will not help the situation in any way.

We can be friends with anyone, but at the very least, we must maintain our ability to control ourselves in making decisions. We cannot rely on the opinions of friend, or we may always live in their shadows. I have also seen someone in that situation, we can still gather and share gambling experiences with our friends. But it would be better to think about the impact when we might unconsciously gamble out of control. Although for some people, there are also those who prioritize validation from friends over progress in their lives.

There may be gamblers who are relying on their friends to continue their gambling lifestyle but I believe, most gamblers have their own agenda and so they play on their own. So for me, I would rather play on my own and rely on my own decision. Because if you will depend on others when it comes to your betting, you may end up blaming that person if the bet will end up losing. So if you decide it on your own, you will only blame yourself.

I would go with option b because it is the most appropriate , with friends it is not possible to achieve much because there are individual interests involved and it is not advisable, I would say option b because of all these things and because one is always looking for ways to improve and establish new strategies.

I am more on this approach also so I don't need to wait for others to finally place a bet. Better follow your instincts rather than rely on someone else. Because you will surely regret if something wrong will come out from depending on others. Also, would be hard for you to decide next if you will always rely on somebody. It is like you don't have your own decision.

Gambling with friends that share same method and codes will sure improve winning chances for you, making way for more angles, with shared insights, and most time discipline emotionally. Other way it is equally risky to groupthink or blondy follow. Personally gambling depends on your personal discipline, experience, and ability to learn from errors. Though difficult but when consistent if you are sharp and ss objective. Long-term success always follow from individual skills not hired luck, while both have pros.

There is always need for gambling friends especially when you are that knowledgeable about gambling and the other person are that knowledgeable in gambling you can be confirming your games to his and when you make prediction and you senses that your games aren't right in your judgment you could seek his attention or their attention to help you vet (crosscheck) whether you both games are align with each others. Having gambling friends helps to increase knowledgeable and sharing common ideas together than non-gamblers. Typical example can also be a friend who knows about cryptocurrency or that belong to this forum you both can talk about how the forum is and which coin is the latest to invest or not to invest and you guys can share feelings and discussed about any rising issues about forum, unlike those who aren't in the forum and even if you are thinking anything that relate to this forum they can't contribute or share ideas with you because they are total off from your thinking.

‎So far I would say I have been more reliant on my old gambling skills and strategies seeing that I no longer have friends that are generous enough to share betting codes and give updates on new strategies to gamble with, so I want to know how successful in your gambling activities you have been so far if you compare;
‎a. Gambling with help of friends and associates who share codes and betting strategies, versus,
‎b. Gambling alone depending on pure wits, knowledge and personal developed strategies?

I don't know about sucesss, because gambling expenses are entertainment expenses to me but whether it be my gambling activities or otherwise, I like to depend on myself only (i.e, option 'b')'as there tend to be less disappointment this way. I do surf Internet to learn stuff from others though.

[Julien_Olynpic]

In our wonderful time, you don't need friends to learn new strategies from them. To tell the truth, there aren't that many strategies in gambling, it's more correct to talk about the nuances of strategies, and not about the strategies themselves, because they are all well known and described. In addition, it is unclear what to mean by friends and why you need friends. For example, here on the forum we communicate with a large number of unknown people who can share interesting information for us, but we do not consider them friends. You can even treat people on the forum well and communicate with them as with real friends, but at the same time never see them in your life. And I'm not even talking about neural networks. Modern neural networks can easily replace our friends. Even in gambling, they often understand more than real friends.

[Shinpako09]

First, I don’t have any friends I can talk to about gambling, nor do I want anyone to know that I gamble. Aside from my parents before, but even then, I never directly told them I won in a casino, and I don’t think they suspect I’m into it. Even at what we called “perya,” I rarely gambled, so they probably wouldn’t think much of it. So, ever since I started, I’ve been on my own. Of course, just like most people, I’m on the negative side. Although I’ve created my own strategies, at the end of the day, this is still gambling.

Already right from time I normally gamble alone because I don't normally depends on someone prediction since luck have the besic role in determining the final outcome. So I normally do my own research and stick to my strategy because I have often see where gamblers end up regretting just because of too much reliance on their friends prediction. So I always prefer doing my own prediction with my little still since luck have the final say.

[junder]

I always gamble on my own terms, not relying on others. Although my friends often offer advice, I simply listen to them. In other words, I think even listening is more respectful than not doing it at all. In my opinion, gambling requires luck to win, so even if we rely on other people's advice, if we're not lucky, we won't win.

Furthermore, I'm more comfortable gambling alone than with a lot of people around. For example, when hanging out, there are obviously lots of my friends, and I wouldn't gamble. In situations like that, I'm uncomfortable doing it, so I choose to go home and gamble if I really feel like gambling.

If you as a gambler have gambling friends you can share tips sometimes when you're together, it can be fun if you're friends are open with their strategies. But I always emphasize that even if you and your friends share gambling tips or codes the decision on what to bet on should be entirely yours. It's easy to heap blames on others if they share their analysis and it didn't work out. Even if they share and it's what you want you cannot blame them if you lose. I think it's best to do your own analysis and accept your luck.

Once upon a time, I have friends that we shared our gambling experiences together even give one another some gambling methods and so on but things changed after a while, I guess that's because things don't go as planned so many times.

Two of my friends quit gambling and they focused on their business while the rest don't just talk about it, and I never asked because I don't know what to ask of them, they are family men and I noticed they gamble because of money.

Right now I am used to gambling all alone, things fade really faster when expectations aren't meant, and most people are gambling to make money, once it's not looking like it's possible they will move on, while some will be trapped forever in the daze.

[michellee]

I don't have friends to share betting codes or give updates. I searched the info by myself so that makes me learn something. I know that it is difficult to succeed in gambling so I only use gambling as a way to have fun. Gambling is one of many activities that I do in my daily life.

I prefer to gamble alone using my knowledge, strategies and else. Besides that, I just want to make it easy which only requires placing my bet and playing. If I want to place my bet in sports betting, I know what I need to do so I don't have to rely on others.

[Smartprofit]

In my youth, I loved playing poker with my school friends. And it was a lot of fun!

However, later, when I became interested in sports betting, I did not have friends with a similar hobby. My former friends got married, some moved to another city...

At the same time, I am not sure that discussing new strategies with friends would have allowed me to win more often than I do now. After all, in order to consistently win in sports betting, in my opinion, you need not so much new strategies as insider information about a specific sports team.

However, gambling would certainly be more interesting in the company of friends. A person is a social creature, and it is always natural for him to be in the company of like-minded people. This gives him additional motivation to engage in this or that type of human activity. Gambling is no exception. Therefore, it is good that on our forum you can communicate with like-minded people online.

We can be friends with anyone, but at the very least, we must maintain our ability to control ourselves in making decisions. We cannot rely on the opinions of friend, or we may always live in their shadows. I have also seen someone in that situation, we can still gather and share gambling experiences with our friends. But it would be better to think about the impact when we might unconsciously gamble out of control. Although for some people, there are also those who prioritize validation from friends over progress in their lives.

Indeed, better to keep that distance as you have your own knowledge and skills, it's not bad though exchanging knolwedge to your friend but in terms of making decision, it's always best to rely with your own understanding, if you win you'll praise yourself then if you lose you'll take it as learning experienced and needed to adjust to have better chance on your next try, unlike if you rely with someone else knowledge you'll find yourself chasing them and you are giving yourself to point someone if you lose your bet.

I also have a friend who asks everyone in the hangout about betting predictions before placing a bet. When he wins, he often buys drinks for everyone. But it's always like that when he wants to make a bet. My friend certainly lacks confidence in his own abilities and starts to depend on other people's predictions.
I think the situation where gamblers start depending on help from others in making bets is commonly experienced by beginners. They feel that friends with more experience have more accurate predictions.

The impact of friends and close associates in fueling our decisions is quite wide and to that extent we have to know that mentaining our privacy is very important, when we have any contact with friends that are outside our kind of view and reasoning, it becomes a most that we limit ourselves on the things we do or say while discussing any topics that is of interest to both and all of us just like gambling.

Consciously or unconsciously we tend to act ind the influence of what we have hard from others in the form of discussing that is why we say that we should select our friends instwad letting them select us.

[Oluwa-btc]

This is an interesting discussion because in early days of my gambling I had few friends who do give some good positive tips, and usually we put money which shared between us.

As time run out many changes happen and friends have change of places which are not out of country just because of this I am doing by myself and it's working good for me currently my best option is internet and few stats when I want to bet on any game.

It's working for me, and I am doing this alone for years which is interesting because mostly I am taking good advantage of my mind and with the help of few sites I have good journey without any help.

It's so nice and as a result of self-reliance the changes are required to occur in accordance with the right mindset, efforts of that person.Since people are different, it'll be difficult for some to come to a conclusion of improving so much on themselves without trying to rely on the virtue and efforts of their companions.

Because you will surely regret if something wrong will come out from depending on others. Also, would be hard for you to decide next if you will always rely on somebody. It is like you don't have your own decision.

You know what the best thing of all is? Don't expect anything from anyone, Things are very important when doing any kind of thing Personally , I learned that way because I've suffered betrayals of all kinds. When it comes to a partner, you have to be extremely careful in knowing how to choose them, It's not easy, but if you find the right one, it's the best lottery you've ever won.

[CryptoYar]

When you rely on friends for tips and codes you benefit from having more information which can seem helpful at first. But this also means you are depending on other people knowledge which might not always be reliable.

Other side gambling by yourself using your own research and strategies puts you in full control. But this takes more effort and time any success you have is direct result of your own skills and decisions. Main difference between two is trade off you can rely on group or take full control with each path having its own pros and cons.
