Betting on others suggestion

[Vaculin]

It's never wrong to bet on someone else's suggestion, especially if you are also thinking that same bet has higher winning probability. But be more accountable with your bet, and never think that because he suggested it, you owe him money then.

That's not how gambling works, you win because you are not losing, as much as you're losing because luck does not favor you that day.

And your bet isn't other's business, its always a different thing.

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?

Sometimes I used to wonder if there is still real friend. Because quite sometime now it has always been a lot of misunderstanding with friends which is not supposed to be, we all know that money has a lot of power but at least we should be able take it likely with our friends and family because it doesn't make any sense at all.

At least he would have waited to see if you wouldn't buy some bear before taking action because it is absolutely wrong for him to demand some amount from you, telling you to bet on his favorite team doesn't mean anything at all because you can decide to lock up and save your money. Sometimes I don't really know what is wrong with some gamblers.

This doesn’t happened because I don’t consider a friend that ask for a cut and insist about his prediction to me. You should distance yourself from that kind of person because you have no obligation to follow or hive him a cut of the profit.

I do have experience on betting using someone prediction but not to the point that they insist to me his prediction rather he just post his insight and I like it.

In your case, You have an option to not tell him if you bet or not on his prediction.

This is a normal thing when a friend gives you a betting tip and it played exactly like they predicted it to most of the time they will feel entitled to a percentage of your win but funny enough if their predictions go wrong they won't feel entitled to support you to recover your lose. This scenario can affect friendships if you decide not to appreciate a friend who gave you a winning tip, I think it is ok to appreciate them with a token of your win or atleast buy them a drink if they're not the type to collect money from a friend. When you bet with your own money you should know that you're taking full responsibility of the outcome whether it's your analysis or not.

This kind of scenario here in our hood is normal, especially if you are with your close friends, but most of the time it's kinda in a joke way, just in case you want to give them, it's fine, if not, it's fine too. So it should not be a big deal, as you didn't have any agreement about what happens next on winning or losing.

If there's no clear agreement right from the onset on how profit is to be shared and what happens in the event of a loss, then he has no right whatsoever to make it compulsory that you must give him a certain amount out of the money you've won. If You decide to show him love by given him something, it should never be something that makes him feel entitled towards it.

People give suggestions based on Thier perception of certain games but such suggestion should not look like one that makes it look like it's a must for you to oblige to. If You lost that game, I'm 💯 certain that your friend would have avoided bringing up the conversation of him assisting to take care of the loss.

[SPIDERMAN008]

That's what happens when you gamble based on other people's advice. They usually seem to be the ones who benefit the most if you win, but they'll disappear if you lose. So when betting, don't listen to what others say, only bet if you feel confident. After all, in betting, you're the one bearing the risk, while the person giving the advice is simply trying to profit from your win without sharing the burden of your failure.

You are right. And that is what I wanted to share my experience . I think this may happen to many others. Everyone comes to find profit but if there is loss, no one will take responsibility for it, that is normal. I have never bet according to the advice of others after that day's incident. He was a very close friend of mine, that is why I gave importance to his advice . Such things can have an impact on destroying good relations with close friends or relatives.

[Julien_Olynpic]

The author of this thread is absolutely right: to demand a certain percentage of another person's winnings, you have to, as Nassim Taleb once wrote, put your skin in the game. In other words, you need to share the risks with the person you're making a prediction for. If you agree to split the profits with them, but refuse to cover the losses in the event of a loss, that's not exactly a fair deal. Nevertheless, many people engage in such practices.

Amongst me and my friends we do share some wins oftentimes irrespective of who made the prediction and sometimes we just use some part of it to create an exciting moment of fun. So it's normal to give a friend from your wins but in your case it seems it's not this same tradition that's going on between you guys and he shouldn't have acted entitled to the money and I think you owe him whereas it was just luck. The decision you took to give him some of it is the best way to resolve the issue, you did great but at least now you know how his behavior towards you would be when he gives a prediction, so to avoid further problem that might destroy the relationship, you might want to cut out from his prediction if you're not comfortable with his entitlement attitude.

It is worth pointing out that he did not force you to bet more money, you bet with more money yourself.

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.

Did he not bet on the match also?

If he bet on the match and win money also, I will not give him anything. But if he did not bet probably because he has no money on him at that particular time, I will give him little part of the money like 10 to 20% of the profit.

The part where he confused you to bet more money got me, this is why he is asking for some reward, you wouldn't have won more money if you chose to risk what you wanted, but he forced your hands to invest more money, and since you won it means you have more money now.

Normally you don't have to bring this on here, you should be able to give him some money without feeling bad about it, he forced you to bet more money, that's the work right over there, now that you have made more money you can't eat it all, it's a normal thing to think about, I would settle him without thinking twice about it.

Just my two cent advise.

This is a confusing situation, how could he force you to bet? It should always be your decision. Tomorrow he advises you to open a business and then tells you to give up part of the profits. Will you do that too? I think this seems absurd. If he's your friend and he shared his bet, he has no right to demand anything from you. Or should he have told you beforehand that if you win, he'll demand a share of the winnings, If he had said that before you placed your bet, what would you have done? I think it's entirely possible you wouldn't have even placed the bet...

No.

No, just as I don’t invest based on what others tell me. I may take opinions into account if I seek them out myself, but when it comes to money, I’m generally the one who takes the initiative and makes the decision. I’d rather make my own mistakes. And I have a good track record, so my experience backs me up.

[ruykeri]

I did not bet according to the opinion of my acquaintances or any friends. Even no one knows that I gamble. Because for many, betting is considered negative. The effects of gambling addiction are very harmful. People have lost their social and family status due to this gambling. Since many do not want to take gambling as entertainment or a common thing, I do not share this topic with anyone. No one will advise me to bet. I bet freely according to my own decision. And I think everyone should do the same. With your own intelligence, logic, reasoning and experience, even if there is a loss, it can be accepted.

Well, you never did anything wrong for not making any trouble against your friend, then your friend turned to a tipster that demands money for paid subscription.
Personally, I have not had this kind of experience with any of my friends or even with any other person.
I have friends that I use to take games from them, and they equally take from me too. However, it is not advisable to totally rely on other people's bet. If someone gives you a game to play you may not know if the person actually did the proper research before making such prediction and if you must bet on such game, endeavour to scrutinize such game very well and edit where necessary before placing such bet. This is just like the games some of us pick from gambling influencers or tipsters, they don't work all the time and most times you have to do proper editing before you can bet on them.

[ralle14]

Never happened to me, but if I were new to sports betting, then I might've done the same thing, only to get it over with. A lot of my bets come from tailing other bettors and i'm still tailing a few of them since I enjoy following the sports they cover.

Anyway, that's almost the same as paying for a pick and you're better off not tailing your friend anymore when there are tons of places to check for picks.

[lovesmayfamilis]

If you've read the forum, then such stories are not new. I definitely remember a similar one. You can listen to another person, but only if you are weak in analysis, and the other is strong enough, and you have seen some of his successes. Speaking for myself, I often follow the opinion of my friends, but fortunately, if I manage to win, they don't demand a share from me. Although one way or another, we spend some amounts, since my rule is that the money won is crazy or easy money, and it should also be spent easily, it always works. I will appreciate what comes from earnings, but I easily spend what is easy to get.

If you had lost the bet, you would have blamed your friend for misleading you and probably stay away from him for a while. I have seen friendship spoil over things as small as that so it is understandable why he insisted on getting something from the winning. You might have made a mistake by allowing yourself to be forced to bet a game but as the mistake ended in you winning, please let him benefit from the winning too because he was the one who made you win and without him you would have gone with your option and lost everything.

I really don't think he was your friend at all. A true friend never asks money back for a suggestion or even never asks about his own money that he ave you. So a "friend" demanding money from you isn't right. What you did right and you should've given him his money but after that there's no trusting that person because what if at some part in some he leaves you in a critical time just for money. So I don't think a friend like this could be trusted. Betting on someone's suggestions isn't bad but when you take that bet you are the only person responsible for the loss or the win because you are the one risking money.

[jcojci]

That is common thing that can happens with friends as they will feels that they helps you win the games. If you feels not right, you don't have to ask for the next prediction but you analyze by yourself. That will prevents you from a little fight with them.

I don't have that experienced with my friends as they just share their prediction and says that all people responsible with their bet. No need to gives the money if we win but if we want to gives money as the reward, that will not be a problem.
