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

[m2017]

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 friends and acquaintances who are into gambling (or are into it from time to time), although I am not currently involved in it. In a sense, I can be called an observer of gambling, because my friends and acquaintances tell me about the results of gambling. Although I usually didn't do the same before.

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.

True, I have noticed this too, because gambling is like a certain circle of interests, like a hobby, and people often discuss their achievements and failures in gambling among themselves. I see this quite often among my friends.

Yes I have a friend who enjoys Rugby with me and we bet on matches when the United
Rugby Championship and European Rugby Championship is on but he isnt what I would
call a serious gambler, more occasional but its great to be able to bounce ideas off
someone who is both into the same sport and is making bets.

I also loosely follow the Australian Rugby League but I'm on my own apart from
Timelord2067 over in the Rugby thread.

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 only have a few friends, probably no more than three, who are truly open about gambling. And when we get together, we often discuss gambling and exchange ideas, especially sports betting. If one of us is on a lucky streak or winning, they'll treat us to coffee and snacks to make the conversation more enjoyable, and these get-togethers usually happen on the weekends.

Besides them, I'm much more private about my gambling problem. And I trust them to keep it a secret from each other.

Absolutely.... alone!
In my case is for privacy reasons, since no one in my family (except my wife) even know that I have crypto and neither do my friends and coworkers... I even participate in conversations about it, but I am indifferent when involve cripto betting... I donot think its necessary to share that I am betting

For me, gambling is something personal. I do not do it to create conversations or comparisons, I do it just to have a moment of pleasure and fun. I thing if a lot of people know I gamble then come the guesses, demands, and judgments... that isnt my goal, I just want to relax and gamble my way.

You know? It is not because I am embarrassed, its because I believe that some things... especially when it involves money, need to stay personal... at least for me.

I also have gambling friends but I prefer to be alone and just wanna be on my own, with either wins or losses.
So that I have no one to boast to with my profits and losses and I don't need to be with other people just talking about how much gains or losses, I've made.
I might be into the same group that has the same interest but if it's on my own finances and bankrolls, I prefer to be a lone guy.

Gambling with friends or not doesn't really change what gambling is all about; it doesn't make gambling predictable and certain. Gambling with friends may have its advantages, but it also has disadvantages. However, gambling with the wrong set of people may greatly affect one's gambling lifestyle if one's understanding of gambling is very low.

Just imagine gambling with someone who is already addicted to gambling while you are just gambling to make money, seeing gambling as a hustle; it is very possible to be influenced by the other gambler. The most important thing in gambling is to understand it, and when it is well understood, gambling with friends or not won't affect you negatively.

Gambling with friends can be very fun, especially on a local standard, but on the online settings, the outcome may not be fine, if one person is an addict who can't gain certain control over their actions. Friends are to help themselves regulate the way they play, but in a case where one party decides to follow the footstep of a compulsive fella, then, that could be detrimental to the both. The only good aspect of gaming with friends is for emotional observation. Intelligent or responsible gamblers are expected to pay attention to each other's behavioral development, that'll help them detect when one person isn't heading to the right direction.

I have friends who I gamble with, they challenge me always for a gamble and we bet almost on a daily . apart from betting in the casinos we also bet physically with ourselves. Most of the time when one of us lose a bet, the fellow will also be hoping that the rest also lose their bet, not necessarily because he’s envy or doesn’t want the success of others, but it’s jut for fun and that’s how we enjoy betting for fun always.

Well I don't think if this saying really matters in gamble, because I don't gamble with friends. Though sometimes my friends usually ask me to come over so we can team up but I always see it as a waste of time, moreover I don't want a situation where people will start seeing me as  irresponsible gambler which is why I like doing my thing alone.

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 friends that also gamble, and sure sometimes after making Prediction I will just share my booking code with them if they are interested, the same thing applicable to when I experience win. But if it is to hang with them to  talk about gambling I don't always have that chance.

I have several friends who enjoy betting, and sometimes sharing strategies and analysis can be very helpful, especially if one of us misses some important information about the team we're betting on.
That said, I don't talk about my gambling habits openly. Not even my family knows about it; only a few close friends who share my interests know.

Of course, i have people that gambles as friends. They are quite responsible gamblers, but we don't talk much often about gambling or bets during a normal conversation. I don't think that they've ever influenced me to making a similar bet as theirs, and i don't think that i've ever done the same. When there is a big game, we rather just make our personal sentiment, and bet on who we feel like, but we don't usually treat it as a big deal to the point of start sharing strategies, which means that our gambling activities is kind of personal.

Of course, everyone wants to be ahead of other players and show it to their friends, proving that they are smarter or better at some games, even deep down, if they don’t want to talk about it in front of everyone. As for me, I prefer to play alone, because then I have better concentration and can be more focused, and if I play with a friend, I will have more fun, which will definitely affect my game in the end. This does not mean that I will not play with them at all, of course we will have fun, it’s just that my bets will be for small money, but I will get a great mood.

I have read about a similar topic on this board; some people just like to gamble on their own, while some like to gamble with their friends, share tips together, and rejoice together. But me personally, I fall under the category of those who gamble on their own, and until I see the need to share my winnings with my friends, if not, we just talk about how and which pattern we use, not on a regular basis unless when something drags out the topic.

[DaNNy001]

I dont think that this is important, it doesn't matter whether you have companions or gamble alone, this is not going to change the outcome of gambling because winning is based on luck only...instead you should be focused on creating discussions on how to stop gambling addiction if anyone in your cycle of friends are dealing with it...the goal is to maintain discipline and to gamble moderately, If you can help each other by reminding one another to be disciplined then that's alright

[Miles2006]

That’s really impossible definitely everyone love talking to people with same interest and goal, having friends who gamble is not wrong as a matter of fact if they don’t affect your gambling lifestyle negatively. Personally I prefer getting close to people who can share more winning strategy and goal along side discussing fun games and sport, everything about gambling is done for fun likewise having gamblers as friends. Staying alone might be optional because not every time you mingle with friends and is totally understandable probably due to certain reason but, it’s not that deep staying alone or having gamblers as friends.

This will really depend on the environment the gambler finds himself in. You can be a gambler and still not be able to tell your close friends because gambling is seen as an illegal thing to do, and you’ll prefer to do it in hidden and not allow anyone knows about your habits. In realistically, having a group of partners that you all share the same interests is always very fun. This does not limit to only gambling but every other thing that a group of people can brainstorm to share ideas.

My circle sometimes target 10 odds and each person is assigned to produce 2 odds and contribute to the staking power. We assemble the odds and stake high on it with contributed funds.

When it wins, it's not always about sharing the wins, we can use it to organize some fun outings among ourselves and have fun together, including gambling physically of course

This is a nice approach and this approach will only limit you guys to not have to risk too much in order to get the happiness you deserve that time. This is a perfect example of gambling for fun because the wins do not necessarily mean anything to you guys and just staked in order to have bigger output and enjoy your outing to be a more memorable one for you all. I think I like this and will be a welcome idea to any circle of friends this is introduced to and they don’t allow greed to overtake them.

Most of my friends are gamblers but I prefer gambling on my own because I don't want anyone to know how often I gamble and how my losses and winnings always happen. The way they act sometimes, like when I have a win, everyone will want to take credit for it. I don’t like that behavior. Among my friends, some of them like to mock someone, especially if that person is experiencing long-term losses without winning. For these reasons, I enjoy gambling alone. But sometimes, if they ask me, I do tell them that I gamble, but not often. I always inform them, even though they always inform me whenever they gamble, but I’m not always that interested in hearing about their involvement in gambling.

I do gamble, and I don’t think there is any way which I will be hiding that from my friend, they know i gamble, and whenever we are together, and I want to gamble, I do always show them my bet before placing it, some times they make some comments about my bet, then it’s left for me to listen to them, or I will just stand by my prediction.

I call them my friends, so I don’t have to hide things like that from them, most of them gamble also, so why will I hide it from them that am a gambler, and even if they know that am a gambler, there is nothing they going to do about it, so I have nothing to hide. I don’t see anything bad in gambling, but if you are a gambler, or you want to start gambling, then I will recommend we all try to avoid being addicted to gambling. Gambling is normal, the only thing that’s bad is gambling addiction, which we all should try and avoid.

[Odusko]

Is normal to have a nice time with friends that you share similar same experiences and likeness on something with, such that we tend to enjoy More for me gambling is same thing with trading, you can gain insight of what is happening from discussion and this helps you to make a better gambling decision same way trading friends can help you profits from their own experience.

[GiftedMAN]

I have some couple of friends who gamble as well and we talk a lot about different things but when it comes to gambling we argue a lot because we have different football teams which we support so it makes us to banter ourselves during match days.

We share good tips on how to go about our gambling and if anyone has a good prediction they also let us know or drop details of the games so we could try since we mostly gamble on soccer bet but aside my guys I don't go out to start arguing about football or start telling anyone about my gambling life style talk more of sharing my earnings.
