Betting on others suggestion

[Pandu Geddon]

Of course, I have bet based on a friend's suggestion. But when I did it, I was definitely with friends and watching the match of that bet. They didn't force me to bet more. In fact, when they also wanted to make it more exciting, some of them added money to make the bet bigger. The winnings were usually spent on paying for drinks and food at that time. It wasn't something forced, but that's how we had fun.

Well, this is really a enjoying thing for you and your friends. In this way, if all the friends bet together, it will be much more enjoyable when win. Even if they lose, they don't feel so bad mentally. Because here no one forced them to bet, they themselves contributed. As a result, the match became more exciting. And this is also an example of gambling being played for entertainment purposes.

There are many ways for us to enjoy gambling. Although some of us certainly aim to make money, not just have fun. After all, there is a chance to make money from betting. 
The excitement together when winning and also losing in such bets is very interesting. When losing, there will still be words blaming whoever suggested the bet. But that is just a teasing or a joke to lighten the mood with laughter. In reality, nothing is serious in such betting.

Later, when I met him, he demanded a % of the profit from me.

No, he has no right to ask you for commission because I'm sure he wasn't going to cover if the bet lost. If he was joking about it and you gave him some randomly, it would make sense but if he sounds demanding, as you mentioned he did, then it's totally wrong of him.

Then he got upset.

His getting upset when you refused to give him money leads me to think he is either going through tough times or he is addicted to gambling and wants some money so that he can go and gamble it.

Has such an incident ever happened to you?

Mine was a funny one. I met someone on telegram who claimed to have sure bets, and I decided to give it a try. He won the first 2-3 bets and I actually paid him, but then he lost and upon asking, he said it can happen every once in a while. Then he went to lose 2-3 more and never replied lmao

I would always call that an entitlement mentality because he forcefully demanded for what he would have probably gotten without even asking but he felt the need to mention it. I bet with people's suggestions and whenever I win I don't normally deal with such problems. He is too desperate and overly entitled. Just like you said, people are different in reasoning, what he did was a display of immaturity.

Then he's thought about so much on gaming and thinks he's making a positive prediction that deserves to be paid for, but from the look of it, the friend is close to addictions, being this entitled means a wrong habit and could lead to a beef between the two bettors, looking at how the suggestor followed up Op for his share of the money.

Yes, addiction can be one reason why someone asks for what isn't theirs. The op's friend might want to gamble but doesn't have any money, so asking for what isn't theirs from the winnings, even though they contributed to the predictions, even if the op and the person are close friends, it feels highly inappropriate.
But let's say it's not an addiction, honestly, there will always be friends like that, friends with a beggar's mentality.
Or, as I always say, there will always be people who want profits but don't want to make a deposit.

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.

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?

Yes. It often happens when we follow other people's advice when we win, they'll ask for a small portion of our winnings. I've also experienced this myself, but my friend didn't ask but I took the initiative to give him some money. Since I won, he knew it so it felt awkward if I didn't give him some. But that's in the past.

Now, I'm more comfortable gambling by following my own instincts and doing my own research, because for me, it brings a sense of satisfaction, whether we win or lose. As you said, if you follow someone else's advice when we lose we're responsible for it ourselves and we don't get any satisfaction. But if you follow your instincts, even when we lose we feel satisfied and don't feel hurt because we gambled based on our own choices and our own analysis. After all the purpose of gambling is to seek satisfaction winning will increase our enjoyment and losing doesn't matter.
