Betting on others suggestion

[Achalugo BTC]

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.

Understanding how gamble works, will give you the confidence to be sure of what you are doing and also taking responsibility of your actions in gambling is good because you already have the idea that gambling is a matter of loss and profit, which is decided or determined by luck and chance and not by anyone suggestions or prediction. But, its essential to know that gambling responsibly and sticking to it its the only way to get fun in gambling.

We call it “balato.” People usually joke about it, and the winner may give something, but not to the point where someone gets upset if they don’t. It’s common here, but it’s more of a joke than a demand. Your friend should have asked nicely instead of demanding. At the end of the day, it’s not like you had any agreement. You were the one who took the risk. If he really thought it was a sure win, he should have placed a bet. Since it wasn’t, he just got lucky with his prediction.

[Agbe]

Lolz but if the bet lost, you would blamed him too since he was the one that gave your the prediction. But it was not your friend's right to ask for any percentage of the win but as good gambler and he gave you the prediction as you won the game, on your own it was good for you to show him appreciation without him asking. And he should take any amount you give him too. To keep anger away from the friendship, what you did was good.

[Frankolala]

Your friend is an opportunist; this is not the kind of friend that you want to be around. You are right that if you lose, he will not take responsibility for your losses. If there is no prior agreement, then you have no obligation based on your story; you are forced to bet that you should be the one to decide if you want to bet, you're lucky that you've won, if not, he will just console you and forget it, while you bear the losses.

Exactly, you are right. Assuming, he lost his bet, he would have faced the loss alone. If I was OP, when next he gives me any game to bet on, we will agree to share the outcome together whether, losing or winning since, he thinks he's smarter. Honestly, such person shouldn't be seen as a friend because he's self centered.

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?

Is that guy really a friend, I don't think that a true friend will act in such manner, the money that you use betting is yours and beside you guys had no agreement that some percentage will be given to him if you eventually win the bet, so you're the risk taker and he's the one to get a share from the risk if it favours you and when it doesn't he's safe because he didn't use his money to bet, you're actually a good person because if it were to be some of here we won't give him a penny and I don't think nothing would have actually happened although is also good that you handled thighs maturely, I have not experienced such a thing before and I hope not to.

Here’s what we need to realize: when we follow the advice of others—no matter who they are—it’s ultimately us who will experience either defeat or victory. And while we might sometimes have to let them have a small victory if we win (though we don’t have to), when we lose, they don’t care at all.

And in the case you described, it seems like he went way too far when he “forced” you to give him money as if the win was all thanks to him. Yet if the bet had lost, I’m sure he wouldn’t have given you any money as a form of accountability just because he gave advice.

If you want to bet based on someone else’s advice, make sure there are no strings attached afterward, whether you win or lose.

This has never happened to me because I never ask for someone's suggestion and what to bet.
I bet whatever I think is right to bet and I am happy with the results even if I lose the bet.
At least I won't be under the pressure of someone who told me to bet on something.
I don't think it's right for your friend to ask you a share of your profits because it was your choice to bet on that match and not his.
It's better to leave such a friendship instead of continuing to being around such people.

[shawonngp]

I never gambled on someone's suggestion. When I started betting, many friends gave me suggestions on how to win more matches, but I didn't gamble based on anyone's suggestions because money is my own, so I followed my own strategies. I knew that gambling is very risky, so I tested my own luck, because in gambling it is not possible to win with only skill, no matter how good you apply the suggestion of the predictor, if you are not lucky. Then you can't win. Since you won by applying your friend's suggestion, your friend will now claim credit for this win and take a share of the profit from you. He deserves some, since you won. Of course, if you lost that bet, it was not your friend's responsibility.

It happened to me once, and it was a long time ago. Since my friend knew my bet had won, he asked me for money, but he didn’t insist on a specific percentage.

Second answer: Yes, it happened, but not with sports betting—it was with lottery number betting. And surprisingly, I hit the mark on three numbers.
In this instance, my friend called me when he found out the three numbers I’d been advised to buy had come up, but he didn’t know how much I’d won because I hadn’t told him how much I’d bet.

Maybe your friend thought that his advice was behind your winning this money, so he considered himself a partner in this money and that is why he may have demanded the money from you. But it is true that if you had lost, your friend would not have compensated you or taken responsibility for your loss. But I think there is some carelessness on your part here. We should never make decisions based solely on the advice of others or follow others' lead because our risk tolerance, limitations, and financial situation are not the same as theirs. Many people will want to be your partner in good times, but no one will want to be your partner or take responsibility for your losses, that is your responsibility only.

Dont be forced to make a decision that's not what you want. No prediction is totally accurate, so next time dont bet because your friend told you he is certain his favorite team will win. Sports betting is 50/50, you should be ready to either lose or win when you place a bet. In the meantime, since you won the bet, it is your responsibility to give him a cut. However, I dont think it is compulsory unless he made mention of the percentage before giving you the bet. In this case, find him something to avoid issues.

[suzanne5223]

Has such an incident ever happened to you?

Such incidents have never happened to me before, but i believe giving a certain compensation is a normal thing gamblers can do to the person who gave the inside information that led to the success of a gambling because you technically used the person's knowledge and experience to money through the bet and based on what you said you're already planning to bet on sport the day which mean you're about to make a wrong decision before s/he correct you.

Second, information is power in every setting, and it's something most billionaires paid billions of dollars for cause they understand how the right information at the right time can change every story. We also need to act like them sometimes, and appreciate people who make a good impact in every success we accomplish, even if the advise go south, the people won't take responsibility for it.

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

Yes, i have bet based on someone's suggestion, and it's someone I'm sure is better than me in the space.

[Grace333]

I don't like people with entitlement mentality for something that isn't theirs, and just as the op said if he had lost the bet his friend wouldn't probably take the blame or be responsible for the loses. I like scenarios where I'd be the one to appreciate you, not you telling me what to do with my money and my risk. I have not had such experience before, if I had friends like that I would have cut them off because I'm not interested in those kind of relationships. Then for the second question yeah I placed bet based on someone else's prediction before but it is what it is, gamble doesn't treat people differently it just luck.

[bangjoe]

An annoying incident, actually it doesn't matter but it should be discussed from the beginning so that it is clear in the agreement, I always ask a question to friends like that, if I lose then you can compensate or not, at least half of the loss I incurred, as well as winning.
If you have given the answer, it is certain that we will not experience events like the OP either losing or winning because we have clarified the intent and purpose of suggesting that we bet on his choice, for me it is not an easy decision so we have to talk about profit and loss before taking action.

[Ziskinberg]

He could have bet on his own using his own money so he can make an income, and not that he will interfere from your own betting decision, and worst, he will demand a portion from your winning amount.

For you OP, you should learn to avoid people like them. They're not actually helping, they're just using a person for their own advantage. I'm sure if that bet did not win, that person will probably blame you for not having your own bet, and just completely believe on him. Next time, just stick to your own betting predictions.

[Roseline492]

Exactly, you are right. Assuming, he lost his bet, he would have faced the loss alone. If I was OP, when next he gives me any game to bet on, we will agree to share the outcome together whether, losing or winning since, he thinks he's smarter. Honestly, such person shouldn't be seen as a friend because he's self centered.

Yeah if op most keep him, he should only take him as a gambling friend and not as a real friend because he doesn't regard him as a friend to demand for money because of a prediction that didn't take him a second. I wouldn't do this to anybody I would call my friend because I should even feel happy to no that I used my understanding to predict something that eventually wins. This kind of person will never agree to pay you anything if they're the ones that use the game you predicted because they would be so entitled in saying you are their friend and shouldn't tell a fellow friend to pay you.

[Somto9Light]

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.

Thats a good one, as far no one put the blame on anybody, they are good to go. But, it will make more sense if they are able to make informed decisions, that even if their games didn't turn out to be what they want, it won't affect their relationships, as they will keep it intact and still have fun in it, which most people do allow bets to ruined their relationships and this set of people are being advised not to involve themselves in gambling of they are not ready to control or withstand pressure for their own benefit.

Of course, if you lost that bet, it was not your friend's responsibility.

As long you are using funds to gamble,you don't need to ask such questions because if you gamble in such manner it will be difficult to succeed like other gamblers that is using their wisdom to gamble, make sure you understand the team you what to predict and their past performance before predicting and it will make you an expert when you begin to see results from your gambling, if you understand it in that way you can make your choice betting for other suggestions but be rest and sure when the person is losing you will be losing too.

[Onyeeze]

And he should take any amount you give him too. To keep anger away from the friendship, what you did was good.

do you know that even though you predict on your own it will also lose so there is no need to blame anybody that predict for you when you lose in gambling because you know quite well that gambling is all about risk, so I don't believe that if someone should predict for me and I lose I have to blame the person, because my own prediction can also goes wrong if I don't take time to make my prediction so blaming someone who predicted for you it is good in another perspective and also wrong in another participative so gambling is a game of risk you don't have anyone to blame when involving on it

[JoyMarsha]

Most times, someone can bet on what their friend told them to stake their money on a game, whether they win or lose the bet, it's on them to know what to do next. If it is a win bet, they can decide to give any amount to their friend(not a must). If it is a losing bet, they will blame their friend for that, and learn not to bet on their friend's prediction again.

However, for someone you call a friend to make it a must that you will give them some money for the game prediction they make for you to win, is very wrong because if you had lost, you would ask for a refund of the money, you both would have taken it as one of those things that gamblers see in gambling, losing many times than winning.

It's fine, you later gave him some money. At least this is a lesson that you learnt, never to bet on your friend's prediction, even if it means they bet you will win too.
