Friendly bet among friends

[Rabata]

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.

I think it is very normal to have such a friend among many friends. When betting between friends, this kind of situation happens. I also had some friends with whom I would not be encouraged to bet with them anymore after placing a few bets. Because I know that if he wins, he will come to me and wait a lot for the money. He has to pay the money at that time but when he loses, he has no option to return the money. It is difficult to find him and even if he does, he does not have enough money. Some people also try to make various excuses. The reason why I do not like betting with friends is because I believe that a small amount of money should not spoil the relationship with friends.

Op, I don't really understand this friendly bet you are talking about but I know I have friends not just a friend that always talk about their winning without you asking them and unfortunately, I am in this category of people that always talk about win in betting without been ask most times but one thing I don't do is telling someone I don't know or someone I have observed that doesn't like my progress in anything I do because there are always people like that in our midst.

 I don't engage myself in such kind of bet because it will only leads to problems between friends. Though I have seen people who has been engaging in such kind of bet, at the end it will leads to disagreement between parties especially when one person fail to keep to the bet. The best solution is to avoid this kind of bet especially with friends, if the relationship is actually valued the best way to maintain long lasting relationships is to avoid having a bet with friends.

Lol, people that don't like your progress? So you know everyone that don't like your progress? There's nothing wrong with sharing your success stories, whether in gambling or generally, but saying that you only share it with people you know want or like your progress is actually funny, because you don't know the intent of a person's heart, people may be smiling in your face, but you never can really tell if they actually do mean well for you or not, so if you're scared about people harming you if they know you're progressing, then it's better you don't share your success stories at all, because you really can't know who to trust.

I have seen so many things and have also been involved in so many of these types of games and u can tell you for free that it's better to avoid all these games than to actually indulge yourself in them because a whole lot of problem can come from and it better to avoid problems than to settle it because the outcome takes a lot to repair especially amongst friends.

Talking about games within people that also gamble is part of the entertainment, I also keep in contact with some of my friends and sometimes we go ahead to gamble against our rival clubs, I gamble against his club and he does the same, it's just for the fun, and whoever wins get's to boast for the main time.

[Orpichukwu]

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

I have the type of friends who can easily accept their loss, but they will still boast of it and pay it off with encouraging words, telling you to your face that their winning days are going to be back.

Right now I’m currently out watching the RSA and Canada match; he is taking charge of our drinks as long as the game doesn't end in a draw, but if the game ends in a draw, we split the bills.

[Mahiyammahi]

Lol these friendly bet has never been paid off. So stop gambling with friends. You guy's can be gets close by gambling but do not gamble each other. There is tons of casino to bet , why would you bet with friends even though it's fun. Eventually it's effects your friendship.

If you gamble with friend for fun without expecting that you will get anything or let's say you wants to give your friend a treat you can disguise it as a bet. I often do it 😁. If I win my cost maybe reduced by sharing. This way my friend and I both are happy. So I don't wanna risk my friendship over some silly gambling.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Of course, they're the type who like to bully but don't like to be bullied, not just in games, but in everything. When it's time to play soccer, when it's time to do a lot of things and they lose, they can't stand it, they get upset, they don't like being joked about. But since I have a really dark sense of humor, I bully them even more in a big way.

[Findingnemo]

I am not sure, what do you expect when he lose, something like "Hey I lost today" with a big smiley emoji?

Winning is fun and losing isn't, so keeping quiet isn't something strage but if he is not accepting his loss and not paying the bet amount then that is a different story.

[EluguHcman]

The story would had been weird if you did not admit that the behavior of that friend is what makes the game fun and as a matter of friendly group bets, self hypes via confidence is an interactive order communication concept that keeps the group lively and entertaining.mute  you don't just keep mute and expecting the games outcome.
For the fact you all are betting what you can afford to loose then whatever that comes out of one another should be treated likely.

I should not be surprised that the entire group will be missing his present because his noise making in the group should be a memorable one even if he was annoying at some extent.

[Fredomago]

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.

Better this way to add some fun, though there are some circle of friends who do gambling from one another, a type of entertainment that they enjoy while watching the game together, those who are good in accepting the outcome and use spare money that they can afford to let go, though if there's a possible conflict if in terms of huge amount of money then better to keep it as a deal something that who lose will be the one in charge to buy beers or other things that they may need to spend some of their money.

So far, none in our case, because we deal with payments before bets to avoid that kind of issue. If you have a problem with payment that will cause a rift in your friendships, then it's better to stop playing together when it involves money, and just do it for the sake of having fun. There is no pressure with your friendship, and you can even strengthen it.

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.

Exactly , if the friendly bet will lead to something else (like a conflict and stuff ), is best avoided . You have to mind who you do it with , their some folks that will literally forget is friendly bet, some folks are usually ready to take things far .

That’s why some folks just prefer doing it without putting anything on the line like cash or property, instead to show their friends that they are or where right in a certain event .

This type of friendly bet happens all the time and one thing we must know is that, sometimes the type of people you are friends with matters to the extent at which they honor such friendly bet, use to have a friend that I am always close to, and sometimes we used to bet on trivia things like rain falling or not,d etc.

You're right about what you said as well, because I have witnessed good bets between friends turning to unnecessary arguments.  But personally, I don't think that the bet itself is the issue, because so many people don't really know how to cope when they lose.

As long as both friends know they are just betting just for fun  and they can agree to play to see who wins and will respect the result,  and make the bet amount small, then it can help make watching the match more fun. The problem really begins when someone is willing to take the money after making a win but only dashes off whenever they lose,  this act alone can cause serious misunderstanding between both friends.

[icebar]

I would never support betting with friends. I think we all have one or two friends in our friend circle who are the reason for laughter. We can have fun arguing with them. Sorry about your friend. Betting in a circle of friends is much more fun. It is more fun to have fun arguing while betting than to lose or win. The fight to be on top with your favorite team is truly priceless. I never bet with money in my circle of friends. There are always fun arguments in the name of betting on our favorite things. If someone really wants to gamble, they should avoid friends and gamble.

[shawonngp]

I have some close friends from school life, when we get a chance to meet after a long time or we organize a party, we do friendly betting, and we divide into 2 teams to bet, we plan to go on a tour together with the winning money of the winning team, or we organize a party again, that means we are not serious about which team won or lost by making a friendly bet. Because we all enjoy winning rewards together. We always bet small amounts on friendly betting. If it's a big amount, it can sometimes problems among friends, I think.

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.

Everyone is happy after winning gambling because there is money to be made. Many people have such stories with their friends. I had many friends who used to gamble regularly. They used to borrow money from me many times but they always returned the money to me very quickly even if they lost in gambling. And if they could win in gambling, they would give me an immediate treat. When a gambler loses in gambling, he thinks about why he gambled and he is suffering financially. But when he wins in gambling, he does not think about how much risk he took to win it, at that time he spends the entire winning money unnecessarily, treats his friends and has parties himself. No one can actually succeed from gambling. Everyone has different stories around gambling.

Actually I don't feel comfortable betting money with friends. Because money is something that can create unnecessary problems even in very good relationships. Even a small bet can lead to misunderstandings and then the fun of friendship is ruined, In our case if we have to bet, we bet on food.  For example if I lose today I will treat everyone and if someone else loses, he will. In this way no one feels uncomfortable about the money, and everyone can have a good time together by eating and drinking. For me this type of bet is more enjoyable for friendship.
