"Win in silence, and let success make the noise." 

Doesn't it feel right? It is peaceful to place wagers without turning into the unofficial "tips guru" for everyone and their neighbor's cousin. But consider this idea. How would you rejoice if you were to win without telling anyone? A simple waltz in your living room, perhaps? Make a victory pie, perhaps?

Your argument in favor of third-party betting is valid. It's like having someone else run errands for you. And if they do, should they likewise take pleasure in the results of their labor? Possibly, but how much? The only thing they have actually risked is their time

Well, it is a normal thing to happen when we say that we won a bet. For this reason, it is better for us not to say anything, including not saying that we are also placing a bet. That will keep us away from people asking us for tips if we win. We can comfortably use the winnings for ourselves or just with our family and close friends without anyone asking for tips. But if we place a bet through a third person, we must still give him a tip for helping us in placing the bet and I think we must share enough winnings with him. He also won't ask for too many tips because he only helps us place bets.

That's actually annoying. Especially those people who are known to ask for tips every time they know people who won something material.   

Asking and giving tips are also normal here in my country if you are into peer-to-peer betting where middlemen are the ones looking for a match to your bet and they will arrange the deals. But I also don't like it. In the end, I have better net wins using an online betting site rather than going through peer-to-peer betting. Also, it keeps me private avoiding people near you asking for tips when you're winning something big.

Personally I have a hard time controlling myself when I bet and I really don't like this about myself as a gambler. It usually begins with small bets and I might even win at first but then I end up making bigger bets and losing after that. Later on I feel really sorry and wonder why I let myself do it. This behavior of a gambler is I dislike the most.

I dislike people requesting for tips when they watch us winning. They don't know the reality behind our win. They just watch us winning and request tip. I don't say they're wrong, at times we'll be very down due to big losses and slowly we'll be making something to compensate what we've lost. By the time they gamblers request tip and sometimes this itself create some fear, if we don't tip we might loss. Nowadays we've got features that can be used to avoid these kind of acts.

Well, I think that when you make a loan it is so that you can help that friend, and not for other things, in addition, the fact that you make a loan means that you have the complete need to pay your loan because obviously that friend who lends that money knows that it will help and that it will get that friend out of trouble who needs it so much, it does not matter the reason for which the loan is given, because the reason does not matter much to my friend, if that friend tells lies, because in his conscience It will be that he did wrong, but what he does have is to comply with the loan payments up to date and immediately, only in this way will that friendship and trust be conceived, I don't see any other way for him to be able to do it, in this sense we have to do many more things, but we have to comply with all the loan conditions, generally a loan has some conditions such as collateral and apart from that we only have to follow certain steps, the period of paying interest + capital is the most correct way to be able to make a type of loan of that style, now if it is a friend because there are some who lend money without collateral and without paying interest, which I do not see as bad because obviously things are like that in this business and for one friendship will always be preserved for that reason.

What I think about everything is that a person who lends to his friend, no matter what he tells him, will always convince him, there is no doubt about that, so what is basically sought in these cases is not that if he deceives to the friend to grant you the loan but obviously you will have a very positive response but that does not betray trust, it is the main thing, it is what can normally be done so that they always have that premise as a base, it is very easy for a friendship to be damaged for money, that is why it is important that things are always carried out with the rules that have been established because on occasions I have seen cases that by lending money, the friendship between two people is damaged.

And that is the problem, I have been in that situation before and even as I do not like to mix friends and money I have lend them money on their times of need, however if I found out they used that money not on something they truly needed and instead they bought some sort of luxury with it, and gambling is a form of luxury as you should only gamble with your spare money, then I will seriously consider to end that friendship as it is obvious they do not respect me at all if they are willing to cheat me.

I am not smoker myself, so I am not sure what is the appealing thing about smoking and doing it while gambling.
I can get why people would drink alcohol while gambling and how it enhances the experience by getting rid of inhibitions.

Also, you are correct. i could easily about forever to have to deal with smokers, specially since here it is common to find them in betting and gambling houses /small casinos; but I am also the kind of person who appreciates human contact, most activities are better if you can go out with friend and interact with them and other people, aren't they? Gambling included. 

The very first point of yours is what I hate as well. I see a lot of people who get so deep into gambling that they start ignoring their families and taking any responsibility. They don't do any job or earn any money, they are always looking for ways to get some money that they can use for gambling and hope that they can get something big and they don't need to work to earn money, and they always lose that money very quickly and then sit and start overthinking.

These kinds of people don't understand but they are never going to become successful in gambling, it barely happens when a person earns enough money through gambling that they don't need to do any job and they can take care of their family with the earnings they get from gambling.

I saw a man begging for money to buy food for his children after losing all he had on betting. He was almost crying that his family might go hungry that day since he had nothing on him to buy food. I have seen people gamble with money that is meant for their basic needs and it is not pleasing. A responsible family man will always have a budget that will divide his income into different expenses. Basic needs like food, clothing, health, education, and housing, should be the top priority. Funds meant for these needs shouldn't be tampered with. So seeing that man begging for money after losing was an eyesore because a responsible gambler will always know his limits.

A very common attitude especially when you are inside onshore gambling house, hearing someone saying that they knew it all the way that they will win and will sometimes ask for it for confirmation from someone either their friends or someone who's playing beside them, it's annoying to hear knowing that gambling is a game of luck and not every time you'll be going to win and you'll be able accurately predict the outcome of the game.

The point to note is why people think that gamblers who visit the physical casino often get rude or misbehave with others ? Is it that the environment in physical casinos is not so good or there is something else like excessive loss in the casino can make your emotions uncontrollable and you become mentally disturbed?

Maybe this also leads to a discussion about whether playing gambling alone online is less stressful and you do not have to face all sorts of people in the physical casino and this may not change your behaviour???

Because most of gamblers are willing to spend their money for entertainment, so they don't mind to spend more money to buy cigarettes and alcohol to make them happy. It's quite rare if someone is gambling, but he's not smoking because such person is capable to control himself to not spend money for unnecessary thing.

For your case the best choice is online casino where you don't have to meet directly with the other gambler.

Ignoring it is not an option. I'm used to saying everything as I think, without hiding it. And so I told him the same evening what I was thinking. There are many things, views on which can be different and at the same time correct, depending on which side of the situation you are in. But I know for sure that you always need to work on yourself and your restraint. You should always understand how you look from the outside, and strive to be better. It may be unpleasant to hear from others that you still need to work on your self-restraint, but if such words are said gently and tactfully, then it will only benefit. And there can be no two opinions. I understand that it is sometimes difficult for all of us to restrain ourselves, but many calm, calculating people, this is the result of many years of work and reflection, so that they do not be those who fall into an uncontrolled tilt.

Seems like you don't really like the idea of being ungrateful despite having so much to be thankful for. Well, it's a valid attitude to dislike after all because it's also tiresome to hear annoying remarks and complains whenever things don't go the way they want to but when things go smoothly, they don't appreciate it much either and rather use it to boast around. But we can't really blame them because we don't know their upbringing. Perhaps just learn the art of ignoring your friend if he will complain despite earning because it won't pay your bills and it doesn't really affect you directly.

Almost all my friends who are fond of gambling are unbalanced. I will give an example of a friend playing poker: he participated in a tournament, for which he gave about $ 20 to pass. He did a great job, going on new tours, at new tables. It was nice to see how often he was lucky and in bad situations the casino seemed to play along with him. When there were not so many players left and it was going to the finals, he was unlucky. A chance was about 90 percent for his victory, but fortune gave him 10 percent, in which there was an unpleasant outcome. The combinatiin of cards was not completed. At that moment, my poker player friend hit the keyboard with all his might and the buttons flew around the room! He was very angry even though he had already won a good amount of money with his prize place. But he wanted to be top 3 and he didn't care about anything else.
And this is terrible, because he should have felt the joy of a successful result in terms of money.

It's like a trader who only shows off his wins and considers himself to be a successful trader but never admits that they have definitely experienced defeats, maybe even the losses they experienced were greater than the profits they earned.
There are many strange behaviors of gamblers that can sometimes be annoying, but there are also things that are normal or can be said to be normal, it will indeed suit the personality of each gambler, people who like to show off will do the same thing in their gambling
If there is a gambler like that, don't believe what he says because gambling is not just about winning but will be equal to the losses you will get, especially if it is a game based on luck, whereas games that require skill or analysis can provide better opportunities. but defeat is not impossible.

Perhaps it does not have anything to do with gambling, but I noticed back in the day when I spent much of my afternoons surrounded by people playing cards and wagering. Many of those people were quite heavy smokers and could easily consume one or two boxes of cigarettes while playing cards.

I was never into smoking and to this day I avoid it's scent and the smoke from people who is into it, it is another thing which I can find annoying from gamblers , though, obviously being a gambler does not automatically means one is a smoker, but I many are, I do not know why.

What I dislike from gamblers is when they win bets and they praise themselves saying that they know that they will win the game, claiming and forming about their winning, and forgetting that gambling winning is all about luck. I have witnessed many gamblers with that kind of habit, in fact,  the time they win, they will be like others are not perfect that is why others keep losing, and they are not always grateful for their wins. When they win a bet they stake with small amount of money that they can afford to lose, they will later blame themselves for not staking it with a high amount of money because they were able to won.

Totally irritating or something that would really be pissing you off if someone in your table with having this kind of habit on which it is really just that too long on throwing their cards and thinking up slowly on what
would be the selection. lol. Im a type of person who does really like that kind of fast pace game or everyone does do really prefer on this way but its true that there are indeed people who do have this kind or type of behavior but my patience and the likeness on having no trouble does really hold me back on making up some words or throwing some complaints on this case. Some could hold but there might be someone
who could really be having that kind of dedication on telling basing up on what he do observe and arent scared on doing so. lol
