Friendly bet among friends

[bangjoe]

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.

That's very appropriate, don't gamble too expensive if it's among friends, bets between friends should be based on simple values but bring an interesting atmosphere, so that later when losing will not be a problem, or you can say keep betting responsibly if we use that term.
 
I've done it before and some of the winnings are used to buy food and drinks, usually that's how it's done to strengthen friendships even though there's a lot of annoying talk during the betting period before the game ends.

I really don't understand in some other cases there are even those who bet their houses, vehicles and even their wives with their own friends. LOL

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.

I indulge in such bets with my friends, but not with huge amounts or properties I know the person cannot afford to loose. It is important that we play it safe when dealing with people, but placing side bets with as little money as can afford a bottle of beer and a plate of pepper soup isn't what would cause those kind of issues. Most times when someone in my friend zone wins such a bet, they still use the proceeds to buy something we all share. Sometimes it is still about the level of maturity of the parties involved. I agree that changes can occur but I believe that keeping things minimal prevents such changes from occurring to a great extent.

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.

I also do them with my friends, but sometimes I much prefer it when we place bets on official sites; that's more enjoyable in every way. But I prefer placing bets on sites, and I've gotten many of my friends to bet at the casinos I frequent, and they've enjoyed it. So sometimes we share information and bets, and we've bet that way. But when there are many differences between us, these friendly bets arise.

You really took the words out of my mouth, friendly bets should be for the purpose of strengthening the relationship rather than money making, if we have to bet with our friends it should be in such a way that any money won would be used by the general house just to unite everyone more, the thing is if friendly bet is not done by matured people it might end up destroying the friendship because no one likes to lose, me personally i don’t like gambling with my friends because i have had a bad experience with one of my very close friend some time ago, me and this my friend kept on betting against each other until it ruined our friendship, we literally saw each other as enemies, in fact it got to a point that even when we aren’t betting and i beg him money or anything he won’t give me, he will even tell me that i should use the money i ate him yesterday to settle myself, ever since that ugly incident i minimized the way i bet with my close friends and family members and even if i have to bet with them i don’t take it so serious and any money i win i would still use it to share amongst everyone just to keep everyone united.

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.

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.

And that's what friends are for Hahaha, but kidding aside that's not a good attitude though you still hanging with that person but there's should be someone from your circle who will be able to direct him and make him realize what's he's doing wrong, he needs to remember not just his wins but also when the time he lost and needs to pay up Hahaha.

[Nwada001]

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.

I have that type of friend, and I know a lot of them. They can be very boastful about their winnings and how good they are even in games that just involve friends betting on each other, but each time they lose, they just go silent, and some can easily get annoyed when you give them back that same energy when they are the ones that lost.

[Churchillvv]

There is that one person who is always very excited about their wins and try to make a moment for every win but goes silent at losses but not because they don’t have anything to say but they probably find it more peaceful not to open up at losses because they have weak heart and probably become aggravated when they talk at losses.

Gambling with friends should be a friendly bet, it shouldn’t be what you will do with huge amount of money, if you gamble heavily with your friends, then it might just end up causing problem between you people at the end. When you are gambling with your friends, it should be done with little amount of money, and sometimes even if you win, you can just ask them to forget about the money, just laugh  and have fun, and I feel that’s the most important part of gambling.

If you are your friends bets heavily then your friendship isn’t just gonna last, when one of your friend ends up losing frequently, it might just cause problem between you guys.

Friendship bets aren't something I do very often because you need a friend to agree to a bet with you before you can place it. But the last time I made one of those friendly bets, I lost, but the great part was that the other person decided to use the cash to purchase alcohol for everyone, including his own money that he used to gamble.

It was a lot of fun, and it doesn't appear that any of us lost anything because it was a no victor, no vanquish bet. If you make a deal with someone and they are expected to pay a certain amount of money if they lose the bet, some people don't even do that; they come up with one excuse after another to avoid paying up or completing their end of the arrangement. You must use caution if you decide to engage in friendly bets with others, or better yet, do not take them seriously.

[r_victory]

Not everyone knows how to lose; although no one likes it, one must learn to lose as well. I have some friends like that, not just with betting but also in soccer matches, video games, and other friendly competitions over the weekend; what should be fun ends up becoming a source of arguments, sometimes heated ones.

This story is heartbreaking, it reminds me of how short life is, so we should always cherish our friends while they’re still here with us. As for the betting aspect,  I usually think that a person can actually make noise whenever they win a bet, and he should also have the mind to accept defeat whenever he lose. This is what makes friendly betting to always remained fun. Nobody is happy whenever they lose, but running away or pretending like nothing happened doesn’t make sense at all. I know many people have that one friend that is always fast to remind everyone to pay when he  wins but once he loses, he will suddenly disappear or start giving excuses. For me my advice is that once you win or lose just accept your outcome in good faith.

[Su-asa]

One of the things I don't do is friendly betting and my reason for that is because of how things are done in my country, a lot of people can be very annoying when you bet with them, if it is time for them to fulfill their side of the bargain they don't really do this, a lot of times this even feels like they are being forced to pay up what they owe which isn't really nice. This is one of the reasons why I stopped friendly betting, even if I do I try not to take it seriously again.

Some friends are like that, of course I also had friends who only talk about winings but each time they loss you wouldn't even know that they gamble. Personally I don't see anything wrong if they decide to hide Thier loses because it's part of the game secondly it is something that happened almost everytime which some gamblers might be used to it, as for the wining of course you and I know that it doesn't happen all the time that is why each time we experience win we behave as if it's actually our first time of experiencing win in gamble so I don't blame those that only talk about win.

[Rashlyowl]

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

I'm not sure if I understand your story, but I have a friend who only shows up when he's winning. When he loses, he might not be seen around for up to a week. It’s a total mess, in my opinion, from what I can see, he isn't just gambling for fun, he’s genuinely trying to make a living out of it.

[Powerjumboo]

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.

In this short life, you will meet many people, talk to many people, but in this short life, some people can make a lot of difference in your life, that's exactly what your friend did. Your friend was a really good person, which is why you may not be able to talk to anyone, in fact, people should behave like that, but anyway, I will say that your friend was a fun-loving person and he had all the qualities of how to have fun, how to gamble, and how to play as entertainment, which is why he used to be happy even if he won when he gambled with his friends, and he was happy even if he lost.

Yes, of course, there are friends among us with whom I used to gamble before I started gambling online, but I have always said that before I met this online gambling from the Bitcoin forum, I used to gamble offline with my friends, I used to have a lot of fun and I used to have fun there too.

[HelliumZ]

I am really proud of your friend but the sad thing is that I have half a dozen friends like that but I don't find a single good-hearted friend among them. My friends sometimes behave in such a way that I feel like I have stopped betting with my friends. My friends sometimes borrowed money from me and bet and if for some reason they lost the bet, my friends would never pay back the money they borrowed from me. If they won, they might have returned the money but if they lost, my friend's image would have changed instantly. However, one quality of my friends was that if they won, they would return the money but if they lost, they would never return the money. However, now out of half a dozen friends, two friends are with me regularly and the rest of the friends have moved away due to bad relationships.

[sunsilk]

I guess that we're all like that, we become noisy when we're so very happy with our bets that have won. But we become quiet when we're in a losing streak.

Because that's how reactions are done correctly, we're ecstatic when we're winning and we're confident to tell it to our friends.

To be honest, treasure that friend of yours who's noisy because one day at a time you'll miss him even more if you're no longer meeting him.

lol... I am currently picturing one of my friend now as you are talking about this your friend. Cr*zy guy. When he eventually wins a gamble nobody will sleep at home that very day. He will nearly rave the whole building with excitement and he calls it geniusness but when he eventually losses, you will pity him. All his eyes will go inside and he will be behaving like a chicken. He won't like to talk about it with anybody and will prefer to be left alone but once I discover that, I don't leave him alone even when he is showing all level of anger. I don't use to care about it. He just can't help but feels like pulling the trigger on me. I do that to him so it can serve as a payback to what he usually do to us when he also wins.

[JunaidAzizi]

Well, it's so sad he is no longer with you guys, but he left beautiful memories with you that will stay with you for the rest of your life. In every friend circle, there is one friend who is so loud and confident that no one is like him. The same is true for me, but we often play cricket, and when he starts batting and scores well, he goes to everyone and shows off his score. However, when he loses the match or gets out for zero, he sometimes blames others and leaves the ground so silently that no one can even notice. So yeah, everyone has that one friend, and I think that is the friend who keeps the other friends happy, entertains them, and keeps the friend circle alive.

Friendly bet among friends can be done in two category, we can have those done just for fun and entertainment while we have those done for extra cash to be won. Although there are some friends that might only show up when money is involved as they don't care if the intention behind the friendly bet was for fun since all they care about is money and this type of friends, we should learn to avoid them because they can put money over everything.

I once had friends that also only showed up when they are winning and whenever they lose they disappear and sometimes they decide not to pay up their debt and it causes a lot of tension among myself and others. Friendly games are just supposed to be fun despite it involving some extra cash too but some people are just not normal and then choose to make everything a competition which takes out the whole fun from playing together.
