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

[Cantsay]

Alone is the best, as someone who is somewhat introverted in nature I don’t even like sharing my personal life with people physically except when I’m anonymous and no one knows who I am only then am I able to share a piece of my own personal story with other. And gambling is something I consider to be personal information and because of that I do not allow others know that I’m into gambling except when I’m in a football channel or groups where we discuss about gambling related stuff and sport related topics… that’s the only time I’m free to share them.

So for me, I prefer gambling alone - it’s actually better generally when compared to gambling with a friend; I can call a friend over to come watch a sport with me but for gambling I really don’t see the need to have anyone around.

Luckily, I do have some friends who are also fanatic into gambling. We share talks about our wins and losses, and some tips for further winnings, and most of all we learn new strategies from each other that we can apply when we start gambling again. That’s the advantage of having some friends who shared similar interests and goals, they make your life more meaningful and enjoyable, and for me, gambling could be a game changer for us.

On the other hand, gambling alone, without no one to share with your experiences is a bit unfortunate. But if that’s your preference, then there’s no problem even without gambling friends.

I love to handle my gambling ventures by myself, no friends but just me, it doesn't means I don't have friends that gamble just as I do but we are in a digital world where everyone is minding their business about some exercises that can be done while no body is looking and without even seeking for any revalidation from friends when you already know what you are doing. I have friends, we discuss a lot about games and some times they could ask or I might ask if they staked on a particular game, if they said yes, gues you already know what the outcome of the game was since we are following up with the match.

of course everyone has that one friend they shear their ideas and thought with, and this includes gamblers friends. although i have gamblers friends who i shear my gambling experience with but not in all cases and not all times i shear them my secret because revealing some secrets can be dangerous despite they are your friends. not all friend is a friend when it comes to shearing your happiness or success story like your won amount. but i can shear them wining strategy.

[uchegod-21]

I have friends who gamble but we don't necessarily come together to discuss gambling strategies. Gambling to each of us is a personal thing. We have our jobs and families, so the attention on gambling is not much. We can come together to discuss and analyse sports and sometimes laugh at ourselves for our failures during our individual sport betting experiences or even celebrate ourselves for our wins; anything goes. I love my privacy too, whether I'm with friends or alone, it won't spoil the fun

Honestly, it’s hard not to have friends in gambling because you want to talk to someone with the same interests.

Naturally, like minds attracts. It's not only in gambling do we need companionship, we do have/need it in whatever business or job we do. It's so we can compare and contrast what we're doing to judge where we're in progress or regress. They say, a tree doesn't make a forest. It's applicable in this context. However, that's not to say in doing that we should allow ourselves to be pressured into anything. It's to quicken us like iron sharpening iron.

[Odohu]

There a couple friends I discuss gambling with and so much love the discussion and information sharing that happen in those occasions. This pattern have the disadvantage such that see a game that you know will work but others might discourage you, sometimes I feel like staying aloof to be able to think clearly and without any external influence.

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 currently do not have friends I discuss my gambling activities with and I think I like it like this, I am not the type of person who loves or enjoys keeping lots of people around as my friends ,because this often can cause distractions or even sometimes may change the pattern of work when there are too much people giving opinion or advice concerning a particular subject or a way something should be done or a bet should be placed.

It's always very good to have people around whom one can talk to in times when matters arise and likes it's always said that two is better than one, he or she can reason with others and come up with a solution to a pressing problem.
But then, I think it's absolutely better to be alone than be with people who don't love you genuinely and don't care about your personal growth.

[Akbarkoe]

I always avoid gambling alone, and the reason is quite simple: when gambling alone, there is a high chance that I will gamble without control, and I have experienced this before. Meanwhile, when I gamble with friends, we can remind each other to stay aware and remain in control while gambling. And the sensation of gambling alone versus gambling with friends is very different. When gambling alone, even the smallest loss can sometimes be truly frustrating, while when gambling with friends, whether we win or lose, we can still laugh and enjoy ourselves. In other words, when gambling with friends, I find it much easier to accept the final outcome of the gambling session.

If it's just all about talk, that's fine. But sometimes, these friends of ours are the ones that are putting some bad decisions that we have to make and they're pushing us to do it for their own entertainment. Like doing an all in for some bets or doing more deposits when we've got enough already and we don't want to have further loss. And that's why you still get to choose the friends that you come along with because not all of them are your friends and they only become your friends when they have some benefits that they take from you.

Gambling is not like trading; you will enjoy gambling, especially sports trading, when you have a group of friends with the same mentality that you will share ideas on how to win games with because we all have our ways of thinking. If your friends share their ideas with you, you can use them to choose the teams you will bet on, and it will actually yield a better result because gambling mentality and trading mentality are entirely different.

Sometimes, your own instinct should work for you; you don’t have to agree with other people’s opinions if you are not comfortable with their choice so that you can’t blame anyone for making a mistake or big error that will lead you to lose money because it will be very painful.

Friendship circles are fundamentally built on certain bonds, based on shared interests, whether it's a hobby, a job, or even gambling. In gambling, besides winning, the most interesting aspect is sharing experiences and analyzing sports matches. Regardless of favorite teams, analyzing a match together actually strengthens the bond of friendship.

I think it's difficult to hide gambling activities from close friends, even though some people prefer to keep their gambling private. On the other hand, some friends can sometimes be the very reason someone gets involved in gambling. In my opinion, another great thing about gambling with friends is sharing your winnings with them, whether by treating them to a meal or giving them some money.

[Ivystar5]

I have friends who gamble and back then we used to do things together, go out and share our experiences together and even forecastore games, predict better with shared experience but soon we got separated and we went far away from each other only connecting online hence the value of online casino and sport bookies became more interesting to me as I don't do communication about gambling anymore,  Just me and me alone.

9 out of 10 times I'll be gambling alone online, either having a random go on slots or placing a bet with a bookmaker. It's a rare occasion but sometimes I'll go to a casino with friends or casually make some wagers when watching a game. That can make the experience more fun, having a laugh with friends and seeing who is able to walk away up for the session but sometimes they will take the bets too far - getting massively up then busting out seems a bit like a waste to me. On the even rarer occasion that I get into poker for a while (maybe once a year) it's also a solo setup, but I definitely seek out advice on forums and might even engage a little to find weaknesses in my game.

[nelson4lov]

Tell me a better way other than losing and winning money with friends?

I'm part of a group of friends where we usually share ideas around bets, teams and options. No man is an island and from time to time, you'd begin to realize that you will need friends along the way just as the saying goes that if you want to go fast, you go alone but to go far, you go with people.

I have a friend I discuss bet with and he gives me 3 odds bets from time to time and I do the same from time to time. I've always liked it this way even in trading.

This depends on my mood if I wanted someone to talk to.

Generally, I would visit physical casinos if I want an interactive experience where not only gambling would be my target. Whenever I visit physical casinos, I also enjoy all the amenities that come with it (e.g. buffets, hotel, alcohol, etc.) and I would bring either my brother or my friend to enjoy it with me.
In contrast, if I think that I would like to try my luck with some games, I would rather be alone and gamble at the convenience of my home rather than going outside.

At the end of the day, it really depends on one's preference because there are both advantages and disadvantages that come with it.

[CryptSafe]

Gambling is fun when you gamble with friends. You share ideas, go to casinos, and do things together. There is a saying that says "A match does not make up a match box same as it is that a tree does not make up a forest" As a gambler, you can not do it all alone infact, most gamblers you see today became gamblers as a result of the company they keep and being a gambler you must have a friend who you both go to the casino together and you share bet odds and other stuffs as it relates to gambling and prediction.

[TelolettOm]

It's more of a secret, as gambling is still very taboo and restricted in my country. Unless we're chatting and it turns out they share this activity, then we can chat and exchange ideas.

However, it's not that easy. At the very least, I'm grateful for this forum, which can be a place where we can exchange opinions, information, and even some tips.

I keep talking about the limits we shouldn't dare to cross if we must stay responsible; one of such is keeping friends that gamble too. Who's going to be a helping hand if anything goes south? To whom? That's pretty much like having a bunch of smokers as friends (and you smoke too) -- it's Very easy to get addicted, but letting go becomes a problem.

Why bother yourself then? Technology has made a very broad path that only 2-4 in 500 people close to you are interested in your type and pattern of gambling, unless you're a sport bettor.

It doesn't apply to my gambling way. I don't need any gambling friend in real life. I think it tends to bring harm over advantage. Talking about the strategy seems not useful because the strategy can be varied. No strategy that can really be effective to use in gambling games. Also, we must be aware that gambling is mostly about luck. So, strategy is just a small part of the winning opportunity. In addition, I am a typical of person who prefer to hide my gambling activities.

If it is about sports in general, I think it is good to share insights. But when it is about gambling, I think it is no need to share each others. We have our own way in gambling.
