Friendly bet among friends

[gracreavix]

Happy Sunday, everyone.

I want to share a story with you guys. After service, my friends and I were reminiscing about another friend of ours. He's late now.

When we were together, we used to bet on friendly matches. He was always confident about winning. A very noisy fellow. I miss him, actually. But once he lost, he suddenly went quiet. You wouldn't hear from him at all. He'd pretend that he was occupied and all that, giving excuses here and there.

The funny part is that whenever he won, he was the first person to message the group, disturbing everyone to pay up. Honestly, I don't mind losing a friendly bet, but I believe one should hold up his own end of the bargain. That's what makes it fun.

Do you have that one friend who only remembers the bet when he wins? Share your story.

Sorry about your friend.. Not much in gambling but I have a group of friends where we kind of predict what the next price of bitcoin would be every week. It's actually fun because majority of us are based on the financial market so it's just like everyone with their skill against the market. We don't necessarily place money as to who wins the prediction for the week so it doesn't look like gambling. Some of the best gambling moments are those we carryout amongst friends. There are some close people that motivates you to want to do better with your predictions and make betting really competitive. When they are around it's lively and you all make noises especially when arguing over your best players or team. Gambling sometimes can be more fun even with losses just have the right circle of friends...

Unfortunately it certainly happens, these and other stories exist in the world
a story that a friend of mine told me was about this guy, quite stupid who bet big
once in the heat he bet his wife, what an absurd thing... and obviously she lost
his wife rightly left him and he remained in trouble.

As long as he pays what he owes, that's fine. It's just a friendly bet and nothing too serious, so i don't think it needs to be treated as something urgent.

If someone usually loses in friendly bets and finally wins once, say 1 win out of 5 bets, then it's pretty normal for them to remind the group about the payment or something, i'll do the same too. Lol.
At the end of the day, it's all just for fun.

There is nothing wrong with friendly bets as long as you fulfill your side of the bargain, the reason why I don't do such bets again is because people don't really pay up when they lose and I'm not the type of person that would want to force them to do what they know that they are supposed to do, this is why bet privately.

[Wakate]

May his soul rest in peace! I don't think I have such a friend that is very lousy to the description you have given.
I don't like the idea of people disturbing others because they had a winning bets sounding like they know what's surely going to be the outcome of the match. There are times when after you have tried to predict games, the might end up in loses and also time when they will end up in profits. Gambling is unpredictable at all.

[Questat]

It is a normal reaction for some people. I also have some friends who are bettors and sometimes we make bets against each other.

I have this friend who, if he wins, wants to collect his winnings immediately, but if he loses, it will take hours before he pays. I think it is just the attitude of a person, and it differs from one individual to another.

But what is important is that when a person loses, he has to pay up, so the friendship will remain good.

First of all, in your case, I am so sorry for your loss.

As for what happens after a defeat or a win, the most important thing is that the friendship continues regardless of outcome.

People deal with losses with different ways and you need think about like this: if he was someone who liked to express his emotions enthusiastically, then in the same way that he became very happy when win, he may also have become very frustrated when loss. He may have to chose to distance himself rather than create arguments or conflicts with your friends. Perhaps he knew that being around others while frustrated could lead him to hurt them with his words or behavior.

In the end, if everything turns out well after a few days and pays what they owe, the impportant is the friendship remains intact, then everything is fine!

Ahh I once found a friend like that when we were still in school, his character was almost the same as in your description, annoyingly he always bragged more than what you imagine when he wins if he hasn't lost his expression and arrogant words become funny shouts when we bet, and often when he is losing he gets angry and ends up going home early, but my admiration is that he always keeps his promises and pays his bets, unfortunately I don't know where he is now, maybe he has a family that forbids him to bet again.

[Russlenat]

You must miss your friend, sorry for your loss.

About his behavior in gambling, I think it is not unique because there are really people like that. They are so excited when they win and sad when they lose.

What is important is that he knows how to accept his losses and is happy when he wins. Gamblers with that kind of attitude would probably never stop because they love what they are doing, they enjoy the thrill and excitement.

[Pandu Geddon]

I also have friends who do that kind of live betting. Even in this World Cup, we've already met a few times at our usual spot where we watch matches together and place bets there. 
The amounts we bet aren't big, but that kind of excitement always creates memories that will be remembered. 
We might still have a few more meetups to bet during the World Cup period.

I stopped betting with friends because it led to disagreements and quarrels. Some of them, in some occasions, refused to keep their word, and it usually results in confrontations.

Some like celebrating their wins loudly. They tell everyone how they outsmarted the casino or sports betting platform. They boast of their uncommon skills and strategy. But they remain silent and sober when they lose.

[panjul07]

I think there will be always someone like your friend in a group of friend LOL because there is someone who is exactly doing the same as your friend in my group.
At first we do not really care about him but we reached our patience limit so what we do to punish him is by ignoring him.
No more asking him to join any friendly group bet/gambling, and if he asked to join then we do reject him indirectly by telling him that we do not want to gamble.

The character and nature of a friend like that must be remembered and remembered always, even though he is gone, he is a friend who cares about his friends, most friends win at gambling and disappear for a few days. After the money runs out, the friend appears and begs us again and what's worse, the friend dares to borrow money, friends like that don't need to be taken care of.

I'm proud of your friend, he really cares, the proof is that when he won he was the first to treat and send a message to the group, even though he was a little noisy, people like that are responsible and kind.

Honestly, I have friends like your friend, we cover each other, in fact there is a friend of mine when he wins, 20% of his winnings are given to us, it's up to us what the money is used for, it's clear he cares, but he doesn't give it to other winning friends, he only gives it to the ones who lost the bet.

Yes, I had a friend like that too! He was hot-tempered by nature. In our group, we called him "Lightning." 🙋

He was very ambitious and hated losing. If he wanted to win, he would do anything to win. He once bet a guy he could beat him at arm wrestling. When they started competing, he twisted the guy's arm so hard that it broke. We later visited this guy in the hospital. He had to wear a cast on his arm for a long time.

One time, my friend and I bet he could eat three large scoops of ice cream outside in five minutes. It was winter, and the temperature outside was -35 degrees Celsius.

He ate two scoops, his face turned pale, and he realized he couldn't eat any more. Then he tried to discreetly throw the ice cream into a snowdrift. But he couldn't, and he ate the whole thing.  He couldn't resist eating the whole ice cream, otherwise he would have lost the bet. 🙎

Sometimes he couldn't win... When he lost a bet, he didn't shut up or disappear, but instead began to claim the terms of the bet had been worded differently. And he didn't lose, he won. It was impossible to convince him that he was wrong. 💁

To keep to the agreement after friendly betting is always the problem and that's why people don't like to involve themselves something like this, i don't even like this either because it can ruine ones relationship with jso friends, countless times I have seen where things like this happen and it led to serious problem that made friends go their differents paths.

My bet is majorly on sports bets where I will analyze my game and bet on them in the betting site of my choice so that when I win, I won't hear any story and by doing this, there won't be any issues.

Of course, it's really bad not to keep to your bargain ot agreements, because if they are the ones that won, you would have payed off or them demanding it ASAP. So to avoid issues, you stayed away. That's quite okay.

For me, I don't have friends I do that with, and perhaps, I wouldn't like to do such. We only argue and talk about our perceptions about the match. What possible outcomes of the match do you hold? Some go as far as mentioning it, lets bet, but I don't answer them, because I don't like it. Because go into the bet with much confidence that the score line will favor them. I remember last season EPL game, the 2nd leg match between Arsenal and Man U. One Arsenal fan who must have bragged about the match enough, of Arsenal winning the game, could no longer talk the next day we met because man U had won 3:2, and he lost his money.

Friendship betting is quite fun, but I very rarely do it, only at certain times we can do it because most of my friends work outside the city, the fun part is that most of the money that is bet will be returned, whether it's buying drinks or food, so when you lose it doesn't feel like a loss.

I don't like to bet with or against friends, precisely because it can be a source of discussion or the reason for losing the friendship. But I'm sure if I did, one or more friends would behave in the same way as yours.

I base this statement on the simple example of the difference when someone pays for a group dinner, for example, and you have to send them the corresponding part: there are always those who pay immediately because they regret owing money to a friend, and those who turn a deaf ear and have to be asked for payment several times. Interestingly, in my experience, the latter are the ones who most urgently ask to be paid, when it is to them that it is owed. That said, I am convinced that the same would happen, if not worse, in the case of bets.

Well, that's a good one and it shows you guys really understand the game and the potential risks involved, as you guys makes the game look more lively and fun, so that even when one lose their bet, they won't feel the bad or pressure as it will settled with drinks or everyone eats. This is good and it should just remain that way instead of gambling recklessly and it will later cause them stress, because that path leads one to addiction and makes them to have tough time in having fun when gambling.
