Betting on others suggestion

[Awaklara]

Basically, it is better to bet with your own decisions although it may make sense to ask other people for advice such as our own friends but in the end we ourselves will determine the decision. I agree with what you say, betting based on advice from others is like betting based on tips, and the annoying thing is sometimes they ask for a share when the result is winning and the fear is that when we lose maybe we will be disappointed because we have followed his advice which can trigger conflict.

I think anyone can bet based on someone else’s predictions. Maybe some gamblers have done it too. The thing is, we also need to know that when we lose a bet, there’s no need to be disappointed. 
If you do not place your own bet, then do not get too emotional. Also, set a small amount when betting based on someone else’s reference. Just treat it as entertainment, and we won’t be disappointed with a bad outcome.

[Altryist]

Has such an incident ever happened to you?
Or do you ever bet based on someone else's suggestions?

This needs to be agreed upon in advance. If you lost, according to his logic, would you demand half from him? That's complete nonsense. There's a type of person who thinks only about themselves and their own interests. Perhaps you should think about your friendship and from now on keep money separate and friendship separate, and then such situations will not arise again.

If there was no agreement to split the winnings, you can't demand a share after the game; doing so looks foolish and certainly unfriendly. He wouldn't have handed over half the stake if he had lost. I think it’s just sheer audacity that makes someone make such demands, a true friend wouldn't even think of asking a friend for that money. In my social circle, it’s considered normal to treat a friend to lunch in return for a favor, which could be a nice way to show appreciation for a winning tip, but that should be a voluntary, personal decision.

I totally agreed with you, if any gambler decides to bet on others suggestions, they should also be ready to take accountability of their actions, as they won't blame anyone if they lose or win and they should also be aware that the game is based on luck, as the chances to win more in gambling is less. So, being emotional ready to accept whatever outcome that comes from it and that will be possible if they treat gambling to be for entertainment, as that keeps their head clear and save their bankroll.

Oh a pretty old thread, good number of pages yet not locked? Well that's surprising. As for op's story, I can relate, I mean not particularly to the gambling but I have seen this kind of behaviour where people 'help' you, hold it over your head and expect reciprocation; this is why I don't prefer to receive help from people especially who have demonstrated in past that they expect 'return'. Help if you may, but forget please.

I am sharing a personal story. A few days ago, my friend and I were discussing which team to bet on in a match. Then he told me to bet on his favorite team according to his suggestion. I bet on it as per his suggestion. He forced me to bet more money. Because he was saying that this team will win. Without thinking much, I bet on it as per his suggestion. I even won that bet. . Later, when I met him, he demanded a % of the profit from me. He was demanding it from me in such a way that it seemed like he was getting it as his right. The reason he was saying was that I won according to his prediction. But I refused to give it because if that bet lost, he would not take responsibility for it. Then he got upset. Even though it cost me some money, I gave him some money. Because I didn't want there to be any trouble between us..

Has such an incident ever happened to you?

I've seen similar situations before, and that's exactly why I never treat someone else's prediction as a guarantee. If I decide to place a bet, it's my money, my decision, and my responsibility, whether I win or lose.

Your friend shouldn't feel entitled to your winnings unless you both agreed on that beforehand. If the bet had lost, would he have covered your losses? Probably not.

I don't mind taking tips from others, but I always make the final call myself. Whether it's traditional sportsbooks or Bitcoin-betting, I only bet what I can afford to lose and never rely solely on someone else's confidence. At the end of the day, the winnings, and the losses belong to the person who placed the bet.

[Judith87403]

If there is no agreement between us before betting and he does not take responsibility for the loss, then why would I give a share of the winnings to someone? Even if it is a friend. Even in a friendly relationship, it is normal, but it is not based on rights, but in friendly behavior, a party can demand some money from you. It is only in friendly behavior, if he demands it as a right, then I will never accept the claim. Because the money is mine, the risk is mine and we are not under contract, then I am not willing to give my money to anyone. It is still not wrong to take advice for betting, if there is no such friend.

That's a good decision, agreement is important to set, as some people can shift the blame and make it look as if they  are being forced to bet on their suggestions, this should also applies to their wins as well, as some people are too greedy to reap where they didn't sow, even if the suggestions is theirs, the money is not and they are not the one taking the risks, the one that bet on their suggestions can decides to give them some of the wins, if actually they did win but it shouldn't be something of mandatory because being clear about all this helps to protect ones friendship.

Consultation fee is a kind of service. A fee can be appropriate for this only when that service is useful. And I do not think that giving gambling advice or giving an opinion on betting in favor of a particular person will be considered a consultation fee. Usually, consultation fees are charged because giving advice on any subject is considered a profession. And if some friend wins a bet according to the advice, he demand some %, then he should take risk before giving advice. If he had made such a commitment, then his demand would have been justified.

That's why it's very important to know your friends and their intentions, if you know that on time, you will know what to expect already and if it's something that won't be convenient, you can reject the help so you don't end up have problem with that person because I know some friends like this, they can do extreme things if you don't give them their demands or if they feel cheated, I'd rather not get help from such a person or know their interest first before accepting it.

[Ishicryptic]

Unfortunately money is one thing that comes between relationships and if not handled maturely it will spoil the relationship so it's important to apply wisdom when financial matters involves family and friends. I think that OP did the right thing by giving the friend who gave him the correct prediction and encouraged him to bet more money on the game which he won. If they had no agreement that he would give the friend an agreed percentage of he won he can choose not to give the friend anything but it was good that he still did to save the friendship. Normally if a friend gave you a bet tip and you win the game it is good to show them appreciation no matter the amount or treat that you choose although if the game didn't win it's not as if they would refund you.

[ArabBTC]

A friend of mine have been in a similar scenario before and till date it ended him and his friends relationship, what happened was that this my friend had cash with him but it was almost time for the matches he predicted to start so instead of him to go to the casino he gave the money to his friend to bet for him because his friend had some deposit in his bet app, after about 2days because it was a long slip the game then played, the total amount won was in millions, they issue was now that the person that this my friend used his phone to place the bet was now saying that they should share the money 50:50, it became a serious issue between them that even got to court and lingered for long, at some point i lost contact with them, i really wished i knew how they settled it.

The thing is in such cases whereby you either play someone game or used someone phone to bet always try to share some part of your win just to make the other person feel a bit happy but on the other hand let the person who’s game was used not become too greedy as to dictating the sharing formula because if it was a lose he won’t agree to be part of the loss.

When it comes to betting, I do not really trust my friends’ picks. I feel like if I just follow their suggestions, I would be betting blindly.

There is no real satisfaction in that for me because I am the kind of person who wants to win through my own effort and analysis. If I win because of my own skills, then I feel like I am also improving for the long term.

You know, I am quite ambitious when it comes to sports betting. I really want to become a profitable bettor someday.

[348Judah]

Betting on other suggestion only have to depend on if I am not having a particular game to play as a that time or well convinced of what I am about to place, sometimes we could be a little bit confused and remain indecisive, it will be more interesting to us to see someone bringing up a suggestion by giving us an idea or how to go about it, we make the right decision in this manner and things work out as we wanted or even beyond we are expecting and at times its only turned a failed one.

Yeah that will truly happen if you follow their suggestion. Also if you bet directly and didn't try to verify if those suggestions given really have sense.

I also don't find any enjoyment for doing that, because there's no exciting feeling knowing that we didn't do anything to increase our chance to win.

Well I like to be a profitable sports bettor, but I don't have any plans for now to have a career with it. I just gamble to have fun especially on exciting events.

That is just basic. You should not place a bet only because someone told you to, especially when they claim it is “guaranteed.” That is one of the most common words used by scammers, so you should never trust it easily.

As sports bettors who believe that skills can be developed, we should always think about the long term. The only person we can really rely on throughout that journey is ourselves, not other people.

That is why it is better to practice doing our own research, making our own analysis, and trusting our own decisions.

I can't really support the decision you took by not giving your friend some percentage of the money you won because he suggested the game for you and you won, if you had loose he won't have taken responsibility which is well understood because no one will actually do because they had given you a game to stake and you owe them a little token from the win, though it shouldn't be forcefully demanded for but i think it's very important you would have shared something with your friend. This scenario has happened to me almost everytime because I have a brother that send codes to me on weekends and when I loose I don't ask him to take responsibility because he gave me a game and I lost.

This situation has ended many friendship because when a friend suggests a game to you and you win and probably don't give him some amount from it, it usually causes quarrels so you did the best thing by giving your friend some money from the win at last.

[Nathrixxx]

We should know what we are up to in gambling and what will also wanted at the same time, this will help us to be able to distinguish between any offer to accept and those that we should discard without having a second thought at all on them, it is not bad that we receive some suggestive ideas in gambling and it is also important that we should know how to reject some especially when we don't see a need for such.

[Obulis]

Lols, using prediction site is likewise betting according to others prediction in the first place and following another person prediction one on one with someone you know happens daily in communities or places even if online but with someone you know personally. There are some bettors that other bettors wait to have their predictions that's to say that what happened between op and his friend has been happening even before you where born definitely or say it has been happening since the inception of betting into the society. It is not a new thing even with the demand of some percentage if there's winning at the end of the match.

Well op, the way you said your friend requested for some percentage as if a statutory right or pre agreed something is what makes it very heart breaking but a friend making such request on a casual ground is nothing serious just as it has always happened from time immemorial among friends and others either casually or negotiable or fixed.

[Charcol]

Maybe your friend is being pushy with you. In reality, he doesn't deserve any part of the winnings. Anyway, at least you gave him money to save the friendship, so you did a good job. From my point of view, I also bet on the advice of others, but they didn't claim my winnings from me. Because if I lost, they wouldn't take responsibility. They wouldn't claim anything for winning either. They just gave me advice based on their speculation. I won sometimes with their advice and lost a few times.

There should have been a formal agreement between the two of your stating that if the bet won, you will give him the agreed percentage of the total profit made, but if the game lost, he would refund you an agreed percentage of the capital used to bet on the game.
Without such agreement from the beginning, I will not give him any thing especially if he continued to act as if me paying him a percentage of the profit I made from the winning is his right.

But that aside though, I've engage in betting on games suggested by someone else but this usually online based and not physically like in your case where it's your friend that suggested the game and the team to bet on, for my own experience with betting on teams suggested by someone else, the suggestion is always from other bettors who are online and I've never meet, so I've never been in a situation where after winning a bet, someone tried forcing me to pay him or her a certain percentage from the profit I made.

Yeah right, not unless you made a promise that you'll share your earnings if the bet wins, but just like what you said if you lose you alone will shoulder the burden as it's your money that you use to bet, though in good conscience and for the sake of friendships giving some amount as they do share their picks or the advise is not much but showing respect as it's not your obligation but still is a good gesture sharing your winning profits.

Inasmuch as you were not totally greedy and gave him some of the money as an appreciation for predicting the game for you and you were lucky enough to win, it's totally okay, and was indeed the best decision ever to make. However, it the person in question was indeed your friend, you ought to have known how he or she behaves and known what to expect in situations like this. Because inasmuch as you knowing fully well that if he had lost the bet, you would have bear the lost alone, but however it is obvious the amount was what you could afford to lose. And friends like this who are good in analyzing and predicting football are not people you query with so that they can be able to give you more further predictions. So I'm happy you did the right thing by giving him a share of the profits won
