Betting on others suggestion

[danherbias07]

In our tradition, he will definitely receive money from me. But it will not be what he had ordered. What I will give to him will depend on me.

This kind of thing is what I am trying to avoid the most. That is why I don't want to receive any prediction from anyone. I don't want to be burdened by a thing called "obligation". For me, I am not obliged to pay because it's my money that was risked. I will give whatever I want, and whoever receives it doesn't even need to thank me. He won't even have an obligation to pay or be thankful to me for the rest of his or my life.

This kind of thing is situational. Some appreciate what they receive, but there are those who won't give a penny to anyone.

What you’ll ask him is, what if you had lost the game, which was 100% possible, would he have also demanded to help you replace the money that you lost? He’s in no position to demand any money from you, he didn’t lend you any money, neither did he stake the game for you, he only gave you a suggestion that wasn’t 100% guaranteed, and you only got Lucky, bearing 100% of the risk involved. So except you just wanna give him some money for being helpful, but not because he’s entitled to shit.

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?
Or do you ever bet based on someone else's suggestions?

Allow me to teach you the right thing to do next time.

Do not let your friend know that you are about to bet on their predictions, don't do it while they are close to you, don't go to the nearest betting shop together, pretend like you don't care about others predictions than yours.

This is one of the reasons why some people don't keep friends, too much of entitlement in every opportunity they can find, I hope you have learnt your lesson.

Don't bet in the presence of the predictors, do as if you don't care and go try it behind their back if you really want to.

[Reatim]

is that really a friend? Lol. i mean if won from my friend’s suggestion, i’d automatically give him some part or at least buy him some beer or a meal but he’s not really entitled to that because you didn’t ask for his advice anyway

[Floxynice]

If anyone gives me tips on how to do anything, I mean anything at all that ended successfully and I made some money from it, I do not need anyone to remind me that I needed to appreciate the person who gave me the idea I used; it is simple courtesy. In this situation, op was not supposed to wait to be reminded to give his friend some money out of the win.

On the other hand, since there was no prior agreement from the beginning on how much the friend would be entitled to if the bet scales through, he has no right to decide after the win how much he would take. Only the actual winner can decide that.

From what I am seeing here, there is already a strain on this friendship. Next time, they can decide to have an agreement earlier or avoid sharing ideas at all.

Forcefully demanding percentage from you is not good , it was your money and it was your risk , and in gambling nothing  is certain, even if you lost he won’t say anything than we go again next time, all I know for sure is that out of excitement of winning you are supposed to appreciate him not him asking for his share , it would have been different if you both of you reach out on agreements, that if him gives you a game and if it’s a win this is what you are to give to him , but such didn’t happen, so his not supposed to pressure you to give him a percentage of the money .

It happened to me at an early stage of my gambling life. One of my friends insisted that I reward him for the game he gave me. He became confrontational, and some people in the physical casino advised me to give him some amount. I was not happy because we usually buy drinks for each other when anyone wins. He wanted a part of the win because mine was higher.

I sometimes copy other people's predictions at some platforms if I dont have so much time to do my analysis.   

[coinlary]

It's not bad if he ask jokingly but normally you were suppose to tip him as a kind of friendship. If he's asking like he's entitled to it  then it's bad, find a way to detach yourself slowly. He could have also took the risk by  betting his own money too, did he? Since he didn't  and still demanding a cut like he owns part of it then that's a bad thing.

I've also experienced such with a friend but it was about trading, the little scker tryna take a cut because he game me a trade analysis which he didn't enter.

No, such incidents have never happened to me because I always bet by myself, without taking advice from other people. In your case, if that friend was so assured about his prediction, why didn't he place a bet on his own in order to generate profit for himself? If the advice was given without anything in counterpart, he didn't have any right to demand money from you later. That is actually a sign this friend may not be a good companion for you.

As you said, he wouldn't have taken responsability for the loss, so why should he enjoy the winnings? If you gave something to him by free will, then it would have been another thing, but he didn't have the right to demand anything from you.

[rdluffy]

... I bet on it as per his suggestion. He forced me to bet more money. ?...

To me, that’s a really strange story
If it’s really true, I’d say you should distance yourself from that friend as soon as possible, since no one should force anyone to gamble, absolutely no one
Gambling should be a choice you make on your own, without outside influence or pressure
Be careful with this, it never ends well

At least in my opinion, gambling is a very personal matter

I never place bets based on someone else’s suggestion. I always rely on my own understanding, my own ability, and my own analysis when placing bets. Gambling based on others’ opinions is no different from throwing money away blindly.

However, in this situation, I think you did the right thing. At least to maintain your friendship or to make your friend happy, you gave him some money, which I believe is reasonable. Although, it was not appropriate for him to demand it in the first place.

Going forward, I would suggest that you can take opinions from others, but never in a way where it becomes a 100% directive to place a bet on a specific team. Otherwise, your friend might feel that you only won the bet because of his suggestion.

[Bright0515]

This is actually funny, well, from your own part you would have showed him a little appreciation without him asking because he gave you the idea but it doesn't mean that he was right about the way he demanded for it because at the end of the day giving him something out of what you won is still a choice because you can decide not to, he was rude about it and trying to pick offense and it shows immaturity. I have heard of something similar but that was different from this because there was an agreement of a commission between both parties.

[Cryptomultiplier]

I do accept bets from others and their suggestions, but the bottom line is that I bet with my money and don't like being forced into betting more than I can afford.
It's a normal thing for a friend to bring a reasonable suggestion that would bring profit mostly in gambling, but in this case, since such a friend didn't contribute financially to the bet I made, I see no reason why I owe him any percentage if I did win.
It is a personal decision to appreciate someone's effort in form of a good suggestion when betting, but it is not by force to give a percentage to such a person if you don't feel like, because am sure he wouldn't do same if you gave him a suggestion from the looks of things.
I hate money coming in between friendship and that's why I like the way you ignored his greed and gave him some percentage even if you know it wasn't his right to some degree.

This is not a problem because you are a friend and your friend won because of his advice, it's just that I don't like that he forces you to choose according to his wishes, but asking for a share of his advice is also not so complicated as long as he accepts whatever you give, anyway if you appreciate it it won't be a problem, although in the end if the bet loses he will not be responsible.
I was once in this condition, but I didn't mind it, but after that I wouldn't listen to his advice anymore.
I don't like being asked, I'd rather give on my own initiative.

[Asuspawer09]

I mean you did the right thing not giving him money, but still giving him so that there was no conflict whatsoever, but I you didnt give him anything at all, at really get upset I would say that he might just be a bad influence and not really your true friend, if a friend helped you and you did something right something like that, he should always understand that, if you dont want to give him a part of the winning, you have a point that if it loses he will take no responsibility on that anyway.

I guess it's the opposite for me im the one that is making the suggestions most of the time, but I never really demand a part of the winning, for me it's okey if his going to willingly going to give me a part of it i'll take it or most of the time I would just say to my friend to buy some food and it's his treat since he win because of me, but still it's ok to me if he dont give me anything I wouldn't going to feel bad in any way, because I understand that it is his money even though I make a suggestion on the bet.

What I learned from reading the incident is that your friend is quite greedy and the suggestion he gave you can be called a kind of paid suggestion. But I do not think it is reasonable to demand the profit of that bet by giving a suggestion to someone. I have a friend and he sometimes gives me suggestions on cricket or football matches and according to that suggestion I sometimes take bets and if I make a profit in that bet then he never demands any money from that bettor. In other words, what your incident shows about your friend is that your friend is a greedy person with a bad nature. It is wise not to have a relationship with such friends.

First off that is not a friend!

It also sounds like the friend didnt follow his own advice and make his own bet
TBH if I was in that situation with a friend demanding "a commission" I would probably
pay him something but I would be wary of doing so again even though the bet won,
it may not again.

You could also make the deal of paying him a commission if the next bet wins but if
it loses he has to compensate you! it gas to go both ways.

[mdzahed134]

I followed the prediction of some of my friends and won and lost a lot of money in gambling, even though I was a new gambler. However, when I won by following their suggestions, they didn't demand any profit sharing from me. I would take them somewhere for a trip or treat them to a restaurant to keep them happy.

If a friend pressured me to share profits, I would definitely not agree, because when I followed their suggestion and lost the bet, they did not take responsibility for the loss, even if I made a profit. It is completely my own because I did not make any commitment to profit sharing before betting them, so even if there is a loss, it is my responsibility, and even if there is a profit. You should stay away from these friends, because they will stand by you in good times, but push you away in bad times. They are selfish friends.

I think that discussing gambling with others will make it less likely to make mistakes, but it is not right to gamble all the time depending on others' decisions. Your own research is very important for gambling, you cannot gamble all the time depending on others, so it is better to trust your own research. To win while gambling, you have to depend on luck, if your luck is good then you can make money by gambling. Luck plays a big role in winning while gambling along with research. I think gambling is only for entertainment, gambling with the mindset of making money is not right, as a result, the amount of loss increases relatively.

You don't have to call him a friend anymore; he just used to make money at your expense. If you lose, he has no obligation to you and will say better luck next time, this is not the kind of friend worth keeping. He will do more bad things to you because he has proven that he can control you.
Next time, don't talk to him about betting, and don't let him know that you are betting for which team.
