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

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.

You can barely enjoy gambling alone for a very long time, gambling is best enjoyed in group, although such a time to gamble among the boys doesn't come always, but when the opportunity comes, it's always memories made.

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

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.

Personally, I don't see any point in doing all of that, everyone has different ideas about gambling and I think it's best to work with the ideas that you have or just do what works for you. From the list of topics I have seen I didn't see any topic similar to this but let's see if anyone else brings up something. I would rather have someone to talk to if I end up having some losses, this is important  because it helps me avoid thinking about it too much

I have few colleagues and friends, and they gamble too. I didn't become friends with them because of gambling, we were cool friend before I dived deep into gambling. Anyway, we do share our wins and loss together, and sometimes we combine to bet on specific odds we feel is better. What I can tell you is that, the aim of having a friend should not be about gambling, even if its a means to earn some extra bucks, there are other ways to make money aside from gambling.

Nowadays with the numbers of gamblers that we have around, it is almost impossible to gamble in issolation. even if you are not a fan of a physical gambling centre, there is no way you are not going to have interaction with others that are also gambling with you. let us take the forum for instance, as long as you are engaging in the forum discussion expecially discussion that is going on in the gambling board, it means that you are also relating with other gamblers in this environment.

Now that the season has started fully, sports discussion is going to be the major things you here guys talking on when they gather. and there is no way they will talk about it without shairing one or two things about there gambling lifestyle and the strategy they are using to gamble. by that way, even if you are a lone ranger, you still get to associat with other gamblers.

Personal I would like to continue gambling as a personal matter since most of the people in my life do not see gambling only in a positive way. At the same time, I think having friends sharing a common interest makes it more enjoyable since one can share ideas and the victories with them. I think it all lies with personality, some are comfortable with the company and others find it safer to keep it between themselves.

[rohang]

Most of my friends are from gambling, rest of them dont know i gamble

i think its important to have some people u can share your good/bad experiences, losing at gambling and having no one to talk to can very easily lead to some big mental issues

We have a group where everyones shares their wins/losses and even giveaways on a big win

I was lucky enough to meet some great people in this, not everyone has gambling friends they can trust

I cant even imagine what i would be if i didnt have these people to share this part of my life with, they have helped me in bad times more then i have

Me too, I got friends who are gamblers as I am although we have been friends for a very long time, right from our school days, we do things together far back then but I must be sincere i don't like sharing things about gambling with any one although my friends do ask.me about booking codes sometimes for them to bet for themselves, we talk about football football too sometimes but I try as much possible not to discuss much with them on the whole gambling thing for some reasons.
Dude you got it right, keeping friends should be far from the purpose of gambling, but if I may asked do people attach this level of seriousness in gambling, our reasons for keeping friends should go beyond gambling of thing, many connections are there just as you note which we can get from friends.

[Pandu Geddon]

I have friends who really enjoy gambling. But I rarely gamble when we are gathered. More often, we just share tips and experiences in gambling, and gamble on our own. But it's different when we visit a cockfighting arena. Usually, we go together and place bets. Even football matches in the village can also become a form of gambling for us. It is fun to have companions who share the same interest in gambling.

The saying is very precise.
Example:
You can see in your daily life and environment, a YouTube they will be friends with YouTube, the police are both police, the government is both the government, Tribes are both certain ethnic groups and so on the same as gamblers together with gamblers, they rarely make friends with those who are not both gamblers, it is already natural law.

Humans live in groups they will look for their own group to discuss anything, including their gambling when speaking connected, the point: what you think is indeed it.

I prefer playing alone because, for me, having someone on my side, whether I'm winning or losing makes me uncomfortable. So, whenever I play, I always do it alone. It's not that I don't want to share my winnings. I'm afraid that if my friends  become a gambler who can't control themselves, it will lead to future problems. For example, "they may become friends who ask "did you win again?", "share it please" and so on. If that happens, I think our friendship would be damaged. IMO

I understand the saying. So even if you don't gamble as your friends may do, people off the view may think you're also a gambler because they believe that saying that birds of same feathers flocks together.
On the side of telling just anyone that I'm a gambler is what I don't find comfortable for myself because being a gambler isn't what to be proud of telling everyone around you. Yes, gambling is more fun when you engages on event discussions with friends but I'd prefer sharing my gambling discussions with the friends I know that gambles so that I don't lure others who doesn't gamble to begin gambling due to interesting stories I may have shared across.

[OgNasty]

I don't have "gambling" friends per se.  I do have friends that I gamble on memecoins with.  That is more having fun with crypto than gambling or investing and trying to make money though.  We just enjoy buying ridiculous coins and pitching them to each other, laughing whenever the loss or the gains are far larger than any legitimate investment opportunity would allow.  No idea why this is fun, but it is.

You can barely enjoy gambling alone for a very long time, gambling is best enjoyed in group, although such a time to gamble among the boys doesn't come always, but when the opportunity comes, it's always memories made.

I do enjoy gambling alone, I can enjoy a game of cards or any game I can play with friends but from when the game becomes gambling i best enjoy it alone.
I easily get distracted when I am joking around with friends so for me to be serious on gambling I will prefer being on my own. And thing I don’t do is gambling against friends, I can enjoy earning money playing against my own pals.

[danherbias07]

Not entirely gambling friends, but they do listen to me when I say I placed a bet on a sports event, especially basketball. Because they are also fans of the NBA, and that's why they will hear me out until the discussion turns all about the game, stats, and records of each team, and how strong each one of them is.

There are also a few who place their bets in the same sport, but they rarely do it. Most of the time, it's just the playoffs, and some just do it during the Finals. That's when we can talk more about the odds and the spreads, and then it will turn to more deeper analysis about the teams that are playing.

[icebar]

I used to bet with my friends, at that time I used to share everything about gambling with my friends, but since I started betting on online platforms, I don't discuss gambling much with my other friends. Not only me but my other friends also don't want to reveal the topic of gambling. That's why I don't discuss gambling with my friends like before. Earlier, there was a lot of discussion about sports betting, but now there is no opportunity to discuss casino gambling.

Yes, I have a lot of gambling friends, and just like you, in one sport which is horse racing, you can't enjoy that sports if let's say you go to a betting shop (we call it OTB here, off track betting) or even inside the horse track itself without anyone because it's going to be boring.

And it's good if you can discuss your bet with your friends, maybe you can copy each other's bet or have totally different bet and they you can have friendly argument as who is going to win. So yeah, even in sports betting or casinos, I have a lot of friends too who I play along many times even in land base casinos or online.

I don't have gambling friends and I don't like the idea of sticking around friends that do gambles alot . Though at times I do seek people opinions as regards some gambling strategy but I don't keep them as friends.Ambition is infectious, I believe sticking around friends that do gambles all the time may lead one to become an addict. So for a gambler who is addicted to gambling avoiding friends that do gambles alot will really be of great help in breaking free from gambling addiction.

The type of people who will have a group of gambling friends are those who are into sports betting. Those ones require based on the individual that they can share tips and betting odds to boss their chances of a win. Keep in mind that it is not everyone that likes this but some people actually do because it helps them. People like us who are slot lovers are mostly loners when it comes to gambling. There's no strategy to share, you just spin and that's all. However, sometimes, I do enjoy some company of friends as they watch me press spin on the slot game. We don't share any profit though.
