Friendly bet among friends

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Well, this kind of friendly bets is something we don't take very serious most of the time, sometimes it's just done out of play because real money might not actually be attached to it, the prize could just be something else, but if real bet is done, we do it on the bookie and make it count. Seem you and your friends always have the best fun time, same as I do with my friends but in our case, we could also say, who lose will buy the drink, the person might do so or not, we would not still take it personal.

If you win a bet, you feel good, and that is reflected in your behavior. And if you lose, it is normal to feel sad, but some people do not express it in their external activities. What about your friend you have said actually expressed the impact of his sadness in his external behavior. I used to bet with some of my friends, but once a fight broke out between two of my friends and it went to an extreme level. Because one of my friends lost a bet but he refused to pay the money. Since that incident, we friends are never bet again.

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.

I like what you guys get going on, but next try always make sure that everyone of your friends are risking what they can afford to lose, if one friend is feeling sad for losing he must have risked too much.

If you want fun to always be present you guys need to stay within your ranges, don't risk too much money on gambling, and also make sure you look after eachother, you all should be laughing if you lost money.

I don't have friends like this anymore, they have left the country and move into another but gone are those days not the memories, nothing beats playing games or gambling among your friends.

That kind of behavior is actually pretty normal, and I've experienced it too. Of course, no one wants to lose a bet, and anyone who wins is naturally much happier to show their excitement and tell everyone about it.

Not long ago, I made a bet with a friend during the WC. When he won, he acted like he had completely beaten me and couldn't stop bragging about it. But whenever he lost, he'd come up with all kinds of excuses to hide his embarrassment. The thing I like about him, though, is that even if he can be annoying sometimes, whenever he wins, he usually spends his winnings treating his friends to food and a few bottles of beer.

I don't have such a friend who does not like to honor his own part of his bet, but if I did I would not allow it ruin our friendship so I would stop making friendly bets with them knowing that even if I win they would not pay up. Knowing the character of someone will help you avoid being in some conflicting situations with them, situations that can ruin friendship and this is exactly one of them where you need to be cautious to ensure that you do not ruin a beautiful relationship you have from a friendly bet that you both make. Not all your friends are good to gamble against.

Thank you for sharing your story OP! I am pretty sure that the memories you have created with your friend will be forever cherished by your group in the days to come. The fact that you remember him during the days of your gambling days means that he really made a lasting impact not just to you but to the whole group of your friends.

Similar to what you shared OP, I also have a friend who would always post all of his winnings to our group chat on Facebook. He would notoriously influence us to try and play on this certain gambling website unaware if it is really legitimate or not. Well to cut the long story short, I got influenced and lost probably around $50 on that gambling platform.

When my friend heard and learned about my loss, he laughed his ass-off and proceeded to continuously share his winnings to the group. I thought at first that I was really unlucky but I quickly discovered that he was literally losing money because he would selectively send us the times that he won and not the moments that he lost.

[Merit.s]

What do you expect from someone that doesn't want to lose his money. Majority of us gamble for profit and that's why you friend behaves like that because he has lost to someone else.

It was when I was a teen that I do gamble with my friends but later, I decided to switch to casinos because they don't have the amount of money that I intend to win but the casino has. You can win big gambling in a casino than friends.

We all have friends like that, they're usually the loudest when they win. One of my friends used to be like that too. We used to play friendly bets, like whether there was homework today or not, football bets, and other bets. When he didn't win, he'd try various ways to avoid paying the bet, but when it was his turn to win, he'd be the loudest, as if we were trying to escape and avoid paying. I thought it was annoying at the time, but looking back, I realize those were really fun times.

[Ever-young]

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.

That is why, its better for one to bet alone than to bet with other people because just like you said, it can destroy relationships that they have built in years, especially if your friends are those that can't really control their emotions and can't really understand things, as every small talk can lead to big tension and before one know it everything is destroy and with the way some people thinks, especially when money is in involved, they rather choose money over their peace or relationships. However, it depends on people though and the kinds of friends they have.

I don't have such a friend for the simple reason that we don't bet between each other from many years now. I remember those type of bets though for Serie A or Premier League and La Liga when I was in university in the year 2005 betting against friends for huge games like derby games in these major leagues, I was always the optimistic one thinking I would win every bet though I kept losing, nevertheless I never went quiet. The day after the event I was mad because I lost the bet yet I paid the other party what I owned them and to protect myself I started blaming the referee, (yes since then I never liked the referees  ) and said that the next bet on the next weekend I would get it right and usually bet double the money. The story is I kept losing and kept paying.

[Gozie51]

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.

The point is most lousy gamblers are those who don't win much. They are serial losers and they want you to know when they win. I use to know someone like that too like Op narrated. He doesn't allow you when he wins but winning against him, being around him feels like graveyard. I noticed that most gamblers like that fidget when they bet because they fear to lose and that is why they are overtly excited when they are winning or if they win.

If you are my friend and I ever notice that whenever that we go on a friendly bet, and you lose, rather paying up as expected, you'd look for excuses to avoid paying, meanwhile if it were you who won, you'd do everything possible to make sure others pay up, I'll either avoid going on such bets like that with you, or I'll deliberately give you a tase of your own medicine by refusing to pay you whenever you win too, so that you'll have a taste of how it feels when it's done to you.

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.

Betting one's wife in gambling is one of the most hilarious things I've ever heard .

The person accepting such a stake is also a dumbass. Just because someone bets his wife doesn't mean you can actually gain control over her. She's not an object that can be owned or transferred, and we're not living in the 1500s, when, in some places, women were treated as property.

What do you even gain from such a bet? The thing that was supposedly put at stake was never actually transferable in the first place.

Yeah, there’s a similar story though it’s about a colleague from my old job, not a friend. There was this guy who was always the life of the party and quick to jump into any argument or bet; he was never in a rush to pay up when he lost, yet just like in your story whenever one of us lost, he’d always show up to remind us it was time to settle the score. Eventually, we just stopped inviting him to things and told him he didn't keep his word. He actually got offended by that, even though the problem was really with him.

Whatever I do in regards to gambling is private,though I have friends that are into gambling too but I don’t involve or participate with them in terms of their friendly bets.I have seen a lot of friendly bets gone wrong because most people in the circle refused to pay their money,but if it’s done with the right circle that comply during losses then it’s fun.Literally,I have no story to share about issues concerning friendly bets,just as I said earlier I prefer doing my things all to myself but I would like to give it a try anyways.I think one of the reason why most people don’t comply in friendly bets is the huge amount of money staked,this friendly bet is done for fun with small amounts of money been staked in other for friends to comply.

[ImGenius]

I know some people who whenever they win they come online and remind everyone to pay but whenever their luck is not with them they disappear or come out with some excuse to leave. For this I only do friendly betting with those who can take winning and losing easily. After all it is done just for fun not for money. If you can't stay when you lose you shouldn't have started in the first place.

Just like you disturbed your friend, it seems like he does a lot of funny things in your group. Although his habits are very funny I think it's very important to keep those memories.

I think betting with friends can only lead to breaking up the friendship. Same as with political or religious discussions. They are all things that are best avoided if you want to maintain a relationship because in my personal experience, those topics (gambling, politics, religion) always end up in fights and heavy disagreements.

And when it comes to money, the resentment can grow just as deep if not deeper.

A friendly bet? No such thing. Best not bet with family/friends unless the bet is not of monetary nature but something else. In which case, it can be fine.

In reality, everyones mindset or thought process will never be the similar, some are more busy keeping themselves happy, while some want to keep everyone happy. Not all friends are the similar, some friends are different from everyone, this is true. Gambling with friends is a lot of fun, but breaking agreements or rules is not right at all. As a result problems arise in friendship and distance increases, resulting in a rift in the relationship, so it is very important to follow our agreements or rules correctly, no matter what the result is. In reality, I don't have any friends with whom I can gamble, but I definitely won't gamble with friends because it has the potential to ruin the relationship.

We all have that friend in every group. One who is confident but backs away first. We used to make random bets in college, but the payout was never forced and was more of a fun thing. Like if I lose a verbal bet in the group, I'll pay for the canteen bill, and if someone else loses, he does. But we never forced each other, knowing well that we don't earn.

That's a bit annoying if one forces others in the group to pay but hides when they lose. I mean, that's the exact mentality of people I don't want around me. Such people are extremely self-centred :/

[Marykeller]

May your friend continue to rest in peace. I know that if your friend is still alive, you and he would have continued your bet on friendly matches, and he would have gone quiet when he loses and be loud when he wins.

I have noticed, this type of friend around us. Is when you gamble with them that you will find out about them concerning losing their money to you, whether they can freely submit their money to you as agreed, or try to cause a problem between you and them
