Friendly bet among friends

[coin-investor]

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.

Yes, I do, and I find it annoying, so I just stopped playing with my peers whenever he is around, which just shows that he don't trust his friends to pay, and I don't like that kind of trait, there should be a gentleman's agreement between friends when it comes to gambling because friendships should be rooted in trust and honesty.

I don't really recommend bets among friends, it breeds competion in the friendship because most times friends quarrels when one party doesn't honor their agreement, the loser will take it casually because they are friends. Betting among friends can also lead to jealousy where one friend will not be happy because he kept losing to his friend and from there hatred can start to build. It is better to bet on a gambling site where there is no familiarity and if you lose you don't expect the site to refund you out of pity because that is what some friends will expect that their friend will not collect their money. If you must bet with your friend let it be what both of you are comfortable to lose so a loser won't feel so bad about releasing what they lost.

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.

Am not the only one that just have fun whenever am gambling with my friends. If we bet and I end up winning, mostly I just ask them to forget about the money, we just laugh and create memories and everything is not just about money. Whenever I bet with my friends, it’s not something that I do always take serious, the only time which am always serious is whenever am gambling on gambling sites. Whenever I decide to bet with my friends, mostly it’s arguments that do lead to that.

I have never liked making a bet with my friends because of the kind of issues that could arise, instead since we have online betting sites, I prefer to share my bet codes or slip as in some cases with them.
Money is a delicate factor when it comes to friendship and while it might be fun at first, losing and having to pay an amount that may not be available at the time could cause quarrel or enmity between friends.
I know friendship should be rooted in trust and honesty, but money can make you see the other side of a friend.

Friendlies bets ain't what I often do since you must have a friend that have to agree to go into a bet on something with you before you can have it on. But I remember the last time I had one of those friendlies bet I lost it but the fun aspect was that the other guy decided to use the funds to buy beer for everyone including his own funds he used in betting. It was really fun as it doesn't seem like anyone of us lost anything because it was like a no victor no vanquish kind of bet.

[rdluffy]

That also happens when a friend wins a bet, even if it wasn't against you, and makes sure everyone knows about it
But when they lose, they don't say a word, haha

But that’s just how bets with friends go, like you said, usually, the loser stays pretty quiet, maybe even hoping the winner forgets about it
Low-stakes bets with friends are more fun, we do it every now and then, whether it’s for money, a beer, a soda, or whatever

I play friendly bets but my idea on this isn't about Money, from my experience money brings eneimity between friends so I decided to use other things as replacements, like a drink, a watch and other things. If you strike a deal with some people and they are supposed to pay an amount of Money when they lose the bet some don't even do this, they come up with one excuse or another and just avoid paying up or fulfilling their part of the bargain. You must be careful if you decide to play friendly bets with others or better still don't take it seriously.

Sorry about the loss of your friend. The thing is there are people who natural do not know how to handle defeat. That doesn't mean they don't want others to win when they bet against them, they just don't know how to accept losing so their easiest route to handle such situation is to go mute when they lose their bet. I've encountered such people on several occasions, just that we're not close enough for me to call them my friends.

Sounds like it was about more then some friendly bets to your friend. Especially symbolic gestures like friendly games without "real" stakes often have emotional layers in them. Game isn't just a game, it can be about pride, hierarchy and numerous other things or something like that.

Speaking of those friends. Every single one of my old gambling friends only spoke their wins when they were in denial phase. Only when reality check hits, they can joke about losses.

Reason why they were in denial was because they were telling everyone and to themselves that gambling was their major income source. Their identities were being gamblers, and that came with belief it's possible to make living with it. Shame of facing it's not real was too much, so they just kept on ignoring losses.

I haven't really spoken with them, and i am not sure if they grew out of it. Hopefully they did.

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.

Sorry for the loss of your friend , it is good that you once have a remarkable that you all gamble together and her sincere to yourself .

Friendly bet use to be interesting if you have friends that are always paying off once they win a game.

[stadus]

I used to have friendly bets with my peers before way back in college days. And within that circle, there's always one friend like the one you are telling us. Actually, he's noisy every time he wins or loses, but more noisy when he is winning and immediately ask our money, but we also ask him to treat us in some drinks or whatsoever after, so literally a friendly bet where everyone still benefits in the end.

Kinda miss this kind of bet where money is not an issue, but more on who's lucky and noisy that day, lol.

Sorry about your loss. I believe every gambler has that type of friend, but based on what you said about this, your friend, he seems like a great guy who could light up the environment when he's happy; others must also be.
Having said that, just to ne sure if i understand clearly. Do you guys bet among yourselves or through the use of a sportsbook platform?

He is late now, so I won't say anything bad about him. Although that doesn't cover the fact that his behaviour wasn't something you would want a friend to display.

I don't think I have anyone with this kind of behaviour in my circle, but if there was anyone like that, I definitely would have called them out unless they are doing it purposely to ragebait or just give us something to talk about.

For me I don't really do friendly bets because I don't really trust people to do their part after they have won, it is common for people not to do what they are supposed especially when it comes to Money issues. I don't really want to get involved in that that's why I' just avoid it totally. I have had some experiences with friendly bets in the past and the people that I made a bet with didn't really pay up which was absolutely disappointing. But it is important to always keep friendly bets casual and fun,it should not be something that causes a fight.

First of all, sorry to hear about your friend, it's nice to have a betting buddy like that because the atmosphere is more lively. For me the most important thing when betting with friends is the responsibility of paying when losing, because I have experienced it and the unpleasant part is that when he is charged he gets angry or stalls, but when he wins, the fastest to ask for payment.

To stay sane, it should considered good idea not to gamble. When the result of bet is known, somebody may get injured due to the failure to honor a promise made. To me friendship is priceless compared to doubtful sums of money. You have done well not to engaging in any kind of activity that has the potential of compromising that trust.

Of course I have friends who remember the bet when they wins, there are also some who remember bet even though they Loss. Personally I only talk about my winings,the reason why I don't talk about losses is because it is very common. Even when my friends are talking about losses I don't like paying attention because it's not a new thing it's something we experiencing everytime, as for wining we only see it once in awhile. sometimes it takes a long time before you can see it that is why people talk about wining more than loses because it is very rare.

[Hispo]

Actually I don't have any friends whom I am comfortable with when comes to betting and gambling.
Gambling and betting is about money, and money can easily make friendships turn sauer and get ruined.

I don't talk about money or betting with my actual friends and I don't get them involved in my betting life.
It is better that way. Since I would be mad if some of my friends would not pay what would be due to me or if they got very annoying and asked me for money immediately and repeatedly after they won a bet.

It is better to keep both family and friends separated from one's gambling and betting life.

Just my two sats.

[Jostern]

I think you made me remember about something that is very important to me, something I was doing in my high school, playing a five-aside football in school, and beating and gambling about this situation, we are always in different groups, which means any group that conceded a goal are out of the five aside game, and there money is gone, and they have to place another bet, it was more like a local football game and boys was using that to make some unexpected money, it was actually fun, any of the team that looses that bet it’s always a different story and excuses they wouldn’t want to accept defeat in such a situation.

I don't have such friends,but one thing for sure I know is that , winning has a different kind of feelings ,but having the ability to control yourself and not go on a ghost mood after losing is not the best ,or even making a lousy noise after winning,,I know how such fellows behave , many people don't even know I gamble,I really feel gambling is not something to announce or act as if is a job one should be comfortable of announcing to everyone and how the activities is going .
