ever bet with friends where the loser buys the beer?

[TopT3ns]

I have a friend and we usually make small bets whenever there’s a close game, like when two teams are evenly matched, he takes one side, I take the other.
But instead of betting money, the loser has to buy a case of beer.

So if I win, I don’t spend a dime but still end up drinking with the boys. If I lose, well… at least we still drink. 

Anyone else tried something like this? those friendly bets where everyone ends up happy no matter who wins?

I also sometimes do things like this when I'm hanging out with some friends and watching a game, there's always the same situation even though I prefer to bet on food where the loser treats the winner.
But the situation is not much different from this and indeed this is actually gambling but I see this more as something healthier and indeed regardless of losing and winning we still feel pleasure.

Sometimes this situation also makes us more familiar and a little forget about gambling on online sites because we already feel that this is a gamble but it is indeed in a friendlier way than betting in casinos

To be honest, one can bet in easy solutions, such as food together, in order to have fun together without making serious bets. Although it remains a gambling activity, the community and fun are the center of interest and not money. Such situation is more healthier since serious gambling habits are discouraged. Unless it makes one addicted, it can be a refreshing activity to have fun with friends as long as the intention behind the activity is purely fun.

I think what you are betting is something you can afford to lose, and that is why you call it a "small bet", the actual amount of a small bet depends on one perspective, but whatever it is, anyone who bets that way is willing to lose it. I think that is the essence of gambling, we have to know our limits, the goal is entertainment, not to over-expect wins and not to over-think losses, and I think what you are doing can be applied to the gambling we do in casinos. Personally, I used to do it a lot with my friends, but now we are all busy with our own things.

haha yeah that’s a classic! We do that too sometimes it’s beer sometimes it’s a round of street food or even milk tea if we’re chilling somewhere else. The fun part is the trash talk before and after the game then everyone still ends up laughing and drinking together anyway. Win or lose is still enough cause it’s all about the good vibes with friends.

I think almost everyone has done this, even if they're not a fan of online casino gambling, but they've all placed bets on their favorite teams during a match. I've certainly done this with my friends, and the highest-level bet I've made with friends is on a property we both own, and we agree on different properties, so the loser gives the winner the property they desire.

Oh yeah I do this with my brothers all the time haha. Most of the time its a once in a while ordeal but especially right now that is the case (pun intended) as I have quit drinking since June and going until January so I can lose weight. I love beer damn it, as Ben Franklin once said "Beer is proof that God loves us" and shoot id have to agree haha. Thats always a bet id wager though! Outside of that window lol

This kind of friendship is unfortunately, not the one that I have. I guess this is one of the disadvantages of being an introvert and at the same time, not into gambling that much.

Anyway, I've experienced this once when me any my cousin tried to put a bet on a team that will win the title in the 2022 NBA Finals. I went for the Warriors since it's my team, and he picked the Celtics. We know who won on that one, but we didn't drink beer at that time but instead, we just had some snacks in a nearby restaurant. After that, I haven't experience this kind of "friendly bets" anymore.

I wonder when will be the next one.

Wow, that's great news because not every time that a gambler expects to win. Sometimes doing something like that can bring more fun and entertainment, because instead of betting on a team that you're not sure about, it's better to bet with your friends and enjoy some beer together without losing anything. Although I haven't done it before, I think it's worth trying since it involves having fun with your friends.

We have done this so many times and although not directly related to gambling it can be called gambling. Some of my colleagues really like to play billiard and they use this who loses pays the games and the beers. Someday they didn't have a person to be playing with and they called someone who was not a part of their group who played with them. He told them that I don't know to play billiard well and that you are just losing time with me. The group answered maybe you don't know how to play but we are sure you know how to play as we are missing the dude that pays here, a lot of laugh happened and all the office laughed when they learned such thing.

I remember back in high school when my classmates and I would play basketball and make a small bet that the loser would have to buy soft drinks and snacks that is,
the wager was just food and drinks.

Even when we lost, everyone was still happy because it was genuine bonding that happened during those times, which could be called healthy gambling since no large amount
of money was at stake. It’s nostalgic to think about those teenage years.

[maydna]

Last time I did that with my friends. I am winning with some friends and two of my friends lost on that bet. So he needs to buy all of the winners snacks and drinks

Not much for him because he comes from a middle-class family but that means something for some friends. We enjoy that moment and some of them say that we need to do this again

I know that I don't have much luck so I just say that I will consider that. But I also say that I can not buy you many things and only cheap snacks and drinks

You have made me flashback to my days in the university when I and my friends loving betting between ourselves and end up spending the money together irrespective of the winners.

It use to be fun and a nice way to entertain ourselves during the weekends. If you have lovely friends that are gamblers, you guys wouldn't miss this fun because it's one in a million whereby, both losers and winners are happy.

Your post is a reflection of how different all of us are. In the topic alcohol and gambling people discuss that it a very dangerous combination, because by separate each can bring lots of troubles, but a mix is deadly. And you combine alcohol and gambling to get even more fun out of those two. That is incredible how bad for someone is good for other person. I have also noticed how a lot of people prefer to gamble individually, because money can spoil friendship, while others prefer to do it together to maximize fun.

This is the kind of gambling that everyone needs to benefit from. I think this kind of gambling is just about fun, and there is nothing like being sad and regretting it for the loser.

I think in games like this, there is not much expectation of a particular outcome because you already have in mind that the outcome can be anything, and in the end, it will be something that puts a smile on your face by the end of the day. I call this healthy gambling, which is very encouraging for anyone to partake in because it will definitely relieve daily stress in one's life.

We used to do that sometimes when we were younger and still not committed or with responsibilities. Those were the times when we used to hang out all the time, spending as much time together as possible without any worries or any major responsibilities like a family, kids, etc. We used to play games, such as pool or foosball, and bet on the games on such games. We used to play in teams, like 2 players each, and do a challenge that any team that loses will give a treat to everyone in the gang, and then we used to play.

This used to give the games another excitement; we would laugh, mock each other, make fun of each other in the game, get serious sometimes, but still enjoy every moment, and then we would forget everything we did the other day and start fresh. Those were amazing times, and I still miss every single thing today. Even though we didn't use to have that much money, but we would still have the best time, and now we might have everything, but we don't have that company anymore.

Yeah, friendly bets like that make the game more fun, small stakes, big laughs. It keeps the spirit light and doesn’t push anyone into real losses. Sometimes that kind of wager even teaches better bankroll discipline.

I understand, that way it's good to do it to pass the time and have a different kind of expectation , but I would say that when these kinds of bets are made it's to have fun without looking for money, it's something I do like, but Obviously it should be done with Someone you trust a lot.

[rakebit]

Yeah, I’ve done that a few times, small bets with friends keep things fun without the pressure of big money. It’s more about the laughs and bragging rights than the win itself.

Do you guys usually stick to beers, or does it sometimes get riskier with higher stakes?

I still often do it with my friends. In the village, there are still frequent football tournaments between students or amateur volleyball tournaments. Moments like that are enjoyable for us to make bets, whether on drinks or cigarettes. But with such bets, it doesn't matter who wins or loses, everyone still has fun. Bets with no real pressure are truly enjoyable.

[purple_sparkles]

If your bet is made just for fun and good vibes, such a game will bring a lot of emotions and memories, it doesn’t really matter who wins or loses. My friends and I used to make this kind of bet quite often, and the outcome was always the same, lots of laughter and good times. Now we see each other less often, and the circumstances don’t always allow us to spend time like that, but those fun memories still warm the heart.

That's what we usually do with the boys, a healthy and fair gamble, I think, because whoever wins benefits everyone, it's quite exciting, especially in El Clasico matches, usually the bets aren't just about beer, but also food and pride, of course, and whoever loses is usually booed and laughed at, but in the end, everyone enjoys it.
That's why I say that even a small bet like that can provide meaningful entertainment, there's no need to go crazy just to find entertainment from betting.

Those are gamblers that really understands gambling as a game and for fun, he does not believe that gambling should be for money but for recreation in other to relax your worn out tissues and be refreshed, your friends aim of gambling is for fun and nothing else and that is why when he loses or wins he his always happy and drink the more, this kind of relationship is a healthy one amongst gamblers and should be encouraged, or do we say it is the unity of beers .
