Friendly bet among friends

[Tetu100]

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.

That's true, cases like this can really instigate jealousy and hatred between friends and some time can even result them hotting each other all because of money. However, this are some of the disadvantage why it's not that advisable gambling among friends or even family members, perhaps going online or even any of the betting shop is even more better if you ask me. The world is so cruel this days that people easily get mad at people success,  however it's better to stay low profile gambling online than risking yourself with some bittered friends that hate success.

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.

Accept my condolences. And to be honest with you when i come across this thread, it just reminded me when five of us as friends put resources together and also bring out our best games that is slightly not to cut the ticket when we eventually place the bet and at the end of it will still end up lossing out the ticket, then we decided to be staking individually and it is normal that if any one among us has the chance to be lucky to win in particular week, will not allow us to hear a word or rest, so it is in everywhere that lossing can humble any gamblers to be so cold and quiet, it is really a fun gambling with a group of friends back then.

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.

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.

Right, I think friendly bets mean just entertainment, but serious gambling with a big stake can destroy friendships, because the friend who loses a big amount can be disappointed, or one friend can be angry with another friend. I have done friendly bets many times with my friends, whatever we won, we used to enjoy it together, like we used to organize a drinks party together and enjoy a lot, we used to spend all the expenses from the winnings together. I think this is the friendly bets feature.

This actually depends on your friendships as everyone has different friendships, and not everyone has the friendships described by the OP. I've gambled with friends several times, especially while watching football. I've bet just for fun but when the match is over, I've even seen my friends lose, and their faces look gloomy and sad.

This hasn't happened once or twice but often. I've concluded that betting with friends actually strains friendships and tears them apart. It's better to bet on a gambling site, as it's more relaxing, because no one feels hurt whether they win or lose. Furthermore, gambling with friends isn't satisfying, because when you win you're taking money from your friend who lost.

In betting, my circle is very thin because I do my thing privately. We could only gist about gambling.

But in trading, I had a large circle of them, and some of them could be so annoying. No one would "hear words" again when they won. But if they lost, they were dead silent. It's so annoying to the point that the room would be tensed and all the parts of their body and the neighborhood would know they had won.

[GeorgeJohn]

I can only say that you should know your friends better to understand who you can do sports betting with, and who you should leave or ignore.

That's another thing That's important first..Sometimes people do something under curiosity, and it has been destroying their relationship with their friends...because if someone should know his friend well, I dont think that they will be a problem if they have a joint gambling or bet in any betting platforms....

I have friends who are ok with friendly betting, and I also have those who try to sneak from paying if they lose. Even though we do all that for fun, some turns to be sneaky and greedy than others

If you understand your friends lifestyle, you will know the limits of your involvement with anything that has to do with secret and joint thing...most of us who is into gambling when we lose we became angry unnecessarily to our friends and when our friends wins, we became envy....

But I dont blame them. I dont have intentions to stay on my position till end and force them to pay. I would better keep friendly relationship. Couple of bucks wont do me happy or rich, but losing a friend because of that isnt smart.

If you dont wants to lose a friend, you should avoid collaborating with your friends in anything that brings money..because they most be a problem during the sharing of money if eventually your bet or business do well...but if they lose they will also blame you, and malice will began immediately...all this things depends on the kinds of friends we have...it doesn’t necessarily mean that we doesn't have good friends also...

When betting with friends, the chances of loss are higher than profit. After winning a match, if a friend says that he does not have the money to pay for the loss or he wants to pay the bet money after a few days. There are some who try to borrow money from the friend who wins. When betting among friends, there are many problems to face. When you win money from a friend, the face of that friend is completely filled with disappointment. In some cases, there may be cases of not paying the money by giving a different excuse which cannot be denied. In terms of betting, it is much safer to bet on a gambling site than with friends.

We must be careful about this, even if it is started for entertainment, but it can often be a reason for ruining friendships, which I think is a natural phenomenon. When we play such games with friends, we must not use a lot of money, and we should not take it too seriously, we should take it very lightly as entertainment, and no matter what the result is, we must be careful about these things so that no one gets upset, so that both of us can keep it in the enjoyment and entertainment, we must be careful about these things.

This is not a problem if the purpose is just entertainment. Rather, it becomes harmful when someone gets involved with unrealistic expectations and large sums of money, which can also negatively affect their relationships and finances. In friendly relationships, we usually value relationships more than money, and when someone loses among friends, their disappointment turns into a conflict in the happy atmosphere. Therefore, one should be careful that even if one loses money, it will not have a long-term detrimental effect on one's personal and financial system, and gambling should be limited to entertainment.

When it comes to money and friends, having a proper written agreement right from the very beginning is very, very important… A lot of people use to skip that part because they are dealing with friends, but a lot of problem have started through the friends path.. Whether it is bet, business, or any kind of investment, everyone should clearly agree on how things will work before any money is involved..
If things go well, nobody will feel cheated during sharing, and if things don’t go as planned, there will be less blame and unnecessary arguments.. It does not guarantee there would not be issues, but it definitely reduces the chances of ruining a good friendship over money..

I agree that it is worth avoiding bets between friends for the good of the relationship. Money is a sensitive thing, it can be the main reason why so many friendships become fractured to become hostile to each other. Avoiding betting against friends is a sensible choice to make, but it's not a big deal if both are doing it for fun and to understand each other. The best advice is to bet online, anyone can access it easily wherever they are.

Friendly bet may can trigger negative things towards the continuation of the relationship, but I do not always have a problem with that if those involved know their limits and do not lose control. I tend to avoid it, unless the goal makes sense.

Sometime trading works better when you are working with others , everyone can contribute base on the level of knowledge there acquired that’s why there are some that focuses on fundamentals while some focus on technical knowledge.

When come to gambling not everyone that will like to involves their friends because it can lead to some argument among them sometimes because if there’s a winner they will surely be a loser .

Financial matters can strain relationships easily. I have seen family members and close friends quarrel and even go to the extent of having physical confrontation because of gambling. In most cases, some rules govern this personal betting. This is why misconceptions or misunderstandings could easily arise. I prefer to keep betting on formal platforms rather than informal ones.

Winning a bet has its own special feeling that can never be hidden in the face of any gambler who is privileged to hit a jackpot while gambling. Because you can never compare a gamblers feeling who might have been gambling for several weeks or months without winning a single bet not to be happy and filled with joy when he is opportune to win a jackpot to have the same feelings and expression like a normal day. Because there is one type of joy that usually comes with you knowing you can no afford whatever you want to eat, pay your bills and stop worrying about money or rent, simply because you just won a jackpot while gambling.

[Crypto_Timothy]

First off, sorry for your loss man, to lose a friend is never an easy experience.
Regarding what you shared, yea, i think i used to be that guy actually and its not like i didn't shout my wins and silence my loss but then my mood and emotion would just change based on my wins. But still sha, i wasnt exactly loud with my wins but if you were around me, you would just notice and when i would lose, either i am just bitter by myself and im just quiet but then again, i like to thing thats a bit normal for someone who just lost money lol

[Churchillvv]

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.

That’s the fun of it, the pay back is so interesting and after then he also pays you back too that such an amazing thing to do. But well it’s going to be as much as op misses his friend if that one friend in the group does not keep doing that or changes all of a sudden then it will become a problem and everyone will fill it.

When come to gambling not everyone that will like to involves their friends because it can lead to some argument among them sometimes because if there’s a winner they will surely be a loser .

It takes emotional intelligence to be able to participate in a friendly gambling. If you’re not ready to be a loser at some point or someone who can take jokes when you loss then one should not participate at all.

Gambling can destroy friendship of persons. If your friend is always winning your money whenever you bet, as a human being you will start to be feel jealous even if you do not say it out. And sometimes person will still like to keep betting with his friends just so that they will not look weak in front of them. And there is a stage that the loss will enter that person can even get angry and refuse to give the money that was win to his friends and from there they can start to be fighting and keeping malice

Sometimes person can even delay to pay his friend what the friend won till when ever they have .

We should all know the type of friends we keep and how they react to certain things, which should determine if we can go into betting with them or not. I have a few friends who our friends can easily make and last as long as long as there is no financial transaction in between them and I have those which are very understanding, and I treat all of them base on how I understand them to avoid getting into conflict with them.

I agree with you for the first time because knowing the kind of friend you have is what that will give you a lift, I believe that a friend you have if you know it better there's nothing will make your friend to react negatively when you are progressing and there's nothing we make your very good friend to keep Malice to you when you are successful in gambling and is not being successful, bad one will it be against you in everything you do whether good or bad the person must surely be against your progress so such kind of Friends is not good to relate with or is not good to keep for long time

Since it's  a friendly bet the staked amount shouldn't be to much that anyone of you would have to struggle to pay or even feel really bad for paying because that alone can single handedly destroy the relationship. It would be a nice thing if gamble is the reason friends break their relationship just because they couldn't think of the consequences of their actions before they started, it's best to gamble with what you are comfortable losing though some friends might want to increase the bet but do well opt out immediately you feel uncomfortable with their proposal.
