Friendly bet among friends

[Achalugo BTC]

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.

There are people who will instantly turn to your enemies if money its involved and since one can't really read the minds of people, its better for one to stay safe and avoid anything that will cause problem between you and your friends, they might not be bad but change can occur at any moment, especially when money is involved. Like you said, its best for one to keep money out of friendship or relationship, if they want their bonds to remain as it was, for the sake of peace.

That is why you don't indulge in gambling with your friends don't encourage side betting between you and them especially when it involves huge amount of money. You can do that on a casino or shops where nobody will be angry or after you when you win or lose but having a side bet with friends can be dangerous and can also end the friendship, they don't have to be bad to hurt you but some people get triggered to do what they never intended to do after losing money that's why you don't always involve money in everything.

There are no much story to tell, but of course every gambler has that one friend that does that, I have Many of them, they are so confident of themselves about a predicted game. They are ready to prove to you how the game will end without any concrete proof or evidence, just only normal prediction. But when the game played as they predicted they start behaving as if they are tipster. One of my friend who is good at prediction even tell me to pay him to predict game for me, that he is better than many tipster that people pay to. But when his prediction fails he look for something else to defend himself. Every Gambler always have that friend.

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.

I used to have a friend like that. He never liked paying his debts. I had to remind him of this often, but he always came up with some excuse. I was so fed up with it that I decided to cut him off once and for all and deleted all contact. No, I don't need people like that in my life. If you're surrounded by people like that, sooner or later they'll just let you down or leave you in a difficult moment. This has been proven time and time again. So, ignore them and don't form any friendships with them to avoid negative consequences.

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 have a similar friend who constantly boasts about his successes when he manages to find a gem in trading or investing that will bring him a ton of X's. But he never mentions the times he made a mistake and lost money, which creates an aura of success around him, but in reality, he could very well be financially unsuccessful in these endeavors. And the same applies, of course, to bettors and gamblers; they are all, of course, braggarts who create unnecessary advertising for the casino, but at the same time, it's much more important for your own understanding to share your failures, because that's essentially lying to yourself.

I can sense how noise your friend if won the bets because i do have the friend like this that when he won from gambling especially for sport betting, everytime we met he always be talking about his winning with very excited and tell it for whole day.

Indeed first time to know him i think his behaviour is so annoying but gradually i can accept that because he is still my friend until now but the good thing if you have friend like this that he have hurt when lost the bets and the next days seems he forgot his loses and if there is a game available to bets he is the first person who always be excited asking to his friends including me to gamble again.

I have lots of those types of friends, and I think it's not bad at all. Although sometimes I do wish they would just open up and also tell about the bad stories and their losses, and just be honest with it.

Obviously, they always want to look good to other people, so they would not honestly say that they had a bad day and lost some money. If you are truly friends with someone, there's nothing to worry about telling them. Actually, it might help release all that sadness and rage from losing.
It's not like everyone is winning. It's the other way, that's a fact. Most gamblers tend to lose their bets, but it doesn't mean they cannot have a good story behind it. It could actually spark a good conversation and could lead to another.

…

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.

Update on this: It turned out that all our expenses yesterday were covered by our friend, and the reason he said as long as the RSA and CANADA games don’t end in a draw was because he staked on it with a couple of other games, and that was the game holding his betting slip. Lucky us, he won the bet.

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.

I also face such moments when betting with friends and also have stopped betting with most of friends. Because as long as they win or amount isnt serious, it is alright. But when amount is solid (I am not always the one who suggest to place big bets) and they lose, they try to turn betting into a joke by trying to convince that they were not serious when agreed for a bet, they thought I was joking, they did not understand rules clearly and etc.

I have got one "friend" who is so petty and greedy. Once he bet that my kid wont score a 3-pointer (because kid was little and distance to basket was long). He has told that if kid scores, he will buy him a console. Kid took it serious, and by miracle scored. That day that "friend" told to kid he was joking about console, later after several meets also refused to buy console. It all ended that I had to buy console and explained to never trust fully that guy.

I have someone but we do other things apart from gambling, we most of the times challenge ourselves to card ♦️♠️ games and sometimes bet some money on it, that was a very long time ago.

My friend is still alive and doing very well but we are no more kids of that time, he is managing a company today and I am still struggling to make a fortune for myself, we don't see eachother like in the past, things have changed alot.

Sometimes we challenge ourselves to mortal Kombat too, from sega mega drive days to playstation and PC, now all I do is make new friends through online games called multiplayer.

I will say this a fun kind of bet and in most cases, the over confident one ran away.with his money. So lately people are not allowing the other friends to keep the money in their custody but to a trustworthy person to keep the money and once one person wins, they will go and give the money to the win. And the money will be use to buy food for themselves. This is a old type of gambling.

First of all, sorry about your loss. You lose an eye today and all that is left of it is the memories that you had of it. I knew a group of friends like that many years ago--- they lost their very own and since then, they were never as complete as before. I have a group of friends, but we don't gamble. There's a lot more to fetch out of life than waste money.

An outside challenge can sometimes occur (rarely) if someone argues about something being A, and someone else disagrees and calls it B. What's more important to me in your story is the bond you all shared, and the random memories of the decease that kicks in. Trust me, that's really all we got left when we're gone!

This is very possible that some people will always be happy the moment they discovered that things are going as they expected, that is the only motivation they needed to keep gambling and as well enjoying their day together with friends, but the moment they don't win, the entire story changes and the beginning to feel bad because losing is becoming unaffordable for them any longer, this is where we shouldn't be an emotional gambler, because it will really affect us from the way we see gambling.

Do you have that one friend who only remembers the bet when he wins?

No i don't, am not the type that like keeping friends even.

[$crypto$]

You'll always remember your noisy friend --- you'll miss him anyway, right?

I have done betting between friends with friends at soccer matches in the past, but now I don't do it anymore, I'd rather keep quiet and not talk about gambling, it's better to bet on live sites without others knowing, now I prefer the way it is now than before.

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.

You are right, when engaging in friendship betting it is important to stake something that isn't going to cost much so that it does not get to you when things don't go according to plan. It is better to avoid getting involved in anything that has to do with money when it comes to betting with friends to avoid problems.

Exactly, money has destroy or ruined the lives of many people and their relationships in the world today, not that it's their intention to for it to happen like you said, and most people don't think straight when money is involved, they will feel like one is cheating them and then, communication will be low as it can easily lead to another thing. So, I agreed with you that its more safer for one to gamble on its own without tagging anyone along, as one can't tell what the other fellow is thinking about.

People are not to be trust with people, as they can do anything for the sake of money such as killing and causing unnecessary drama just to make problems and even if one uses a neutral person, the outcome can still be the same, except the person has the spirit of God in him before he can be able to hold the money firmly until the owners are ready to have it back, also thinking one can avoid arguments and misunderstanding when money is involved, as it won't be possible.

I don't see anything wrong with gambling with friends except when you have bad friends that don't care about you success and will not be happy with you when you make big profits when they are not having the same luck too.
I like gambling with friends when I am less busy or chilling. I have reduce my betting pattern these days because of work and other activities.

[Bluedrem]

Haha, reading your post brought back memories of my past. Actually, we friends used to enjoy most of the games together, especially the World Cup matches. Back then, to increase the excitement of watching the games, we often bet among ourselves. To be honest, our bets didn't involve direct money, we used to bet that whoever loses today would feed everyone this thing. Yes, when one of us was hungry, everyone present would make him/her eat it.
Now many of them are far away from each other, but I still miss those days a lot.

Yes of course. Our group didn't really bash him for what he usually do. But we sometimes find a way that he will pay up. Like 40% of the time. He's a smart guy actually. And he's like the fun of the party. Even though he does what he does. We still hang around. I remember one time we didn't include him in a game. He was angry eeh. Cause he would have won and still disturbed us.  Very fun guy. Will definitely miss him.
