Do you have gambling friends or you prefer to be alone.

[giammangiato]

Where money is involved, friends don't exist. Unfortunately, interest doesn't bind people together. If you're true friends before gambling, your friend will be truly happy with your wins and truly saddened by your losses.
Friendship is a serious thing. I only have one friend; he's now taken the religious path and become a Franciscan friar. I don't consider all the other people I hang out with friends, but simply acquaintances.
I prefer to gamble alone, and if I manage to win, I share it with my wife.

Yes we sometimes share information and betting strategies but that's about it, because the decision making process ultimately comes down to personal preference. Perhaps because gambling is best suited for solitude, I don't think it matters much whether you share your strategy with friends or not. Based on my experience when placing bets, that information is often ignored opting instead to rely on instinct.

I have gambling friends whom I share information with, I'm in a platform where we as friends share gambling tips among other things. Sharing and comparing tips is fun and we are not obligated to accept what is unanimously agreed, everybody has to decide what they want to bet on. Gambling is not like serious mathematics or serious decision making that lives can depend on so me and my gambling friends can casually discuss about our bets nothing serious. I agree that it's fun to discuss about sports and bets it makes friends with such common interest to bond.

It is common to have people you share gambling predictions with especially in sports betting. Sharing ideas about game predictions sometimes yields positive results. But there are no rules that wins will be shared among us. Winners might decide to give out gifts to members if they want, but it is not compulsory. But these discussion or analysis groups are not my friends because we are just bonded by gambling. I also get game from prediction sites or social media platforms.

It is true that gambling is never like serious math or serious decision making on which life can depend. I agree with you that discussing sports and betting with a friend is a form of entertainment that helps you to solve your own mistakes and manage your gambling more easily. I have some friends with whom I regularly exchange views on gambling and discuss their future plans regarding gambling, which has strengthened the foundation of our friendship.

Even in this forum, we always share some insights into what we do in our gambling or betting activities because it can be seen as a natural way to share experiences. However, it would be absurd to ask for or share the results of our winnings.

Unfortunately, such nonsense does happen, especially among close friends in my area. I have some friends who gamble, even on local sites, but they still engage in gambling, especially for slot games. They always play together, and I often hear them say that whenever one of them wins, they must at least give a tip to each of the losers, and this situation keeps repeating itself. That’s why I always keep to myself when gambling because, besides not playing on local sites (with local currency) and preferring crypto gambling as a game, this is also to avoid the irrational things my friends often do these days.

I do think that the opposite is also true, in the sense that you could in theory help a friend instead of a stranger to get a deal, and get money.

But I see your point, that when cold cash is involved, people can betray their friends for personal gain.

I think as usual there needs to be some kind of balance between friends and money. Of course a bit of money is fine to loan, etc, but a big amount?, that means you'll probably lose it, and your friend as well.

There’s a popular saying that birds of a feather flock together. Does this apply to your gambling experience? What I mean is, do you have more gambling friends with whom you can share your earnings or strategy, or do you prefer to be on your own, not telling anyone that you gamble?

I have gambler friends with whom I can share my insights on boxing matches and horse racing. Honestly, it’s hard not to have friends in gambling because you want to talk to someone with the same interests.

I don’t know if there is a similar topic, but if there is, let me know, and I’ll lock this right away.

I have a friend who is very good at betting, and I can consult with him about bets, but this happens rarely because I mostly choose bets myself, sometimes I can share my bets with him to find out his opinion. But now he almost never bets and follows teams less, so I think this can affect the quality of forecasts. And so I am of the opinion that bets should be made only based on your knowledge and do it yourself. If in this case you can win something then everything will be fine.

Honestly, I don’t think it’s necessary to have others to share gambling experiences with. For me, gambling is a personal thing and a way to test my intuition and strategy. I don’t rely on others’ opinions and I like making decisions on my own. Of course, sometimes it’s useful to hear advice, but I believe the most important thing is to know yourself and your limits.

[lovesmayfamilis]

For me, the topic highlights exactly what I talk about regularly. For me, gambling is time spent with friends; I don’t see any other way to play and have fun. Since our schedule is busy, we sometimes set aside time for entertainment, and gambling will always be on the list of these entertainments. What happens next? After someone wins, if this happens, our meeting begins to gain momentum; with this money, we either drink it or eat it away. Unfortunately, a large prize never happened, so we spent all that small change without regret.

[Shinpako09]

Nah, I prefer playing alone in my room with no one watching, not even a single person. They don’t even know I’m gambling, and I don’t want them to find out. They’d surely gossip about me if they knew about my gambling habits. Gambling isn’t new in our community, but still, nah. However, if it’s playing in the local perya, I love going out with my cousins and betting on the same number or color. They’re not into online gambling, and since I’m one of the eldest, I don’t want them following in my footsteps, especially they are still in their early 20's and still studying in college.

I am a lone wolf when it comes to gambling as I like to play in a very quiet place like my room laying in my coach with the ambient lights. This of course regarding only when I play slot machines as when it comes to sport betting I always discuss my betting ideas with colleagues or friends and we even watch important games together, of course when I am betting in sport betting I am not spending the same amount of money that I do when I am playing slots, in slot machines the budget is much higher and that is why I like to be in a very quiet place when playing slot machines. I consider sport betting like something to have fun with friends as it really cannot give you the substantial win you can get if you hit a huge or max win by playing slot machines.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

I have gambling friends, sometimes I even take games from them but not always and I only do that when I don't have so much time to do prediction on my own. These guys are my friends right from college and we have been doing a lot of things together right from then, sometimes we go to the casino together. I can gamble alone and also with my friends but that's if I have enough time to sit out with them.

I have some friends who gamble but everyone tries to keep their gambling activity hidden. And no one shares their strategy or admits that they continue to gamble. But sometimes they tell stories of their winnings. Although all of them are conscious gamblers that is why they do not want anyone to know about their gambling activity. I also do not tell anyone about my gambling. Because my friends do not like that I gamble openly. Because if everyone knows about this activity, if they ever need financial help, they all refuse to do it because they think that they will gamble with that money. And if they lose that money, they will not be able to pay it back.

[TopTort777]

Gambling friend is such an unusual thing to hear However, I do have buddies with who we play different games (gambling, table games, any sort of competitions) and put money on stake. In my wild youth, I had a friend (dunno if its ok to say had, as we are still friends) with who we used to participate in offline poker tournaments. And sometimes we put two laptops together and participate in poker freeroll tournaments (but that was more fun and drinking, than serious gambling).

I still don’t get the point of this post, are you trying to talk about which has advantage or benefits over the other. Well as for having friends who you gamble with or share ideas about you gambling strategies is something every one do. I have friends who normally come around during weekends, we put head together and try to forecast a good game, but that doesn’t always guarantee out winning.

I know of people who intend to keep their gambling life so private that you can barely know that they even gamble. These is just about individual differences, sharing ideas with friends or not doesn’t guarantee you winning so to me it doesn’t really matters. The thing is just who which works for you and stick to it.

[Yamifoud]

I have some friends who are gambling as well, but I have no confidence in sharing strategies, earnings, etc… I prefer to be alone rather than with them. Not because I don't like them, but I don't want to be influenced by their gambling behavior.

Yes, the same feather flocks together. That is why I'm worried about being close to them when gambling, as it could lead to addiction. I've already learned in the past, and so I don't want it to happen again, knowing the terrible things it creates.

[Hispo]

I usually gamble alone, from home in the comfort of my sofa and on my phone, because I like to have everything which has anything to do with money only for my own knowledge. It would be a little bit uncomfortable to have people to know whether I end up winning a significant amount of money.
However, I recognize there is an advantage on gambling with people, it is less likely to become addicted to gambling if one is a social gambler.

Both gambling alone and gambling with friends have their own advantages and disadvantages, people who are not so social will definitely prefer to keep their gambling activities in private.

I have few friends, who make bets like me. It is interesting to meet them after weekend and change opinions about bets, odds and results.
Today the world is mostly online, so even during match day we share information we have and planning bets online. After it waiting the result becomes more interesting. Someone watch the game and share information in chat, someone celebrate every goal, someone find high odds or interesting events.
I think that it would be more interesting and funny to bet together but online betting with chat is more effective. Ideal situation is online betting and offline talks after match day.

ah so you play to pass the time or to make money, if you play to pass the time your fun is in being with friends and exchanging information
This morning at the bar my partner was making fun of his AC Milan fan friend and they were laughing, this is what sport or betting should do, bring people together

[DaNNy001]

I have some friends, not many, who gamble responsibly, just like I do. This way, if I overstep my limits, I have people who can pull me back.
It’s refreshing to have a candid talk about gambling with friends who share the same interest; it gives you a new strategy and perspective, and keeps you on the safe side of gambling.
Gambling is entertaining, and discussing sports and your bets makes it even more enjoyable.

I think keeping such company is the best thing to do because this helps you maintain a positive mindset about gambling...its important to have those that encourage you positively to make the right decisions...influence matters a lot, there are people that gamble irresponsibly because of the type of company that they keep...your cycle of friends can either affect you positively or negatively...gambling can be entertaining with the right people
