In physical gambling (whether it's a big casino or just small gambling), do pressure on your opponents or playmates actually happen? Like for example, you only set a limited capital but since your friends still want to play, you will end up using all of your money. Or let's say in a casino, you have used all of your allotted money on gambling but since your opponent is winning and he wants to play more, do you exceed on your limit? Just because you don't want to look like you are afraid, that you don't have enough money already, and that you are losing?
Since I do online gambling, I don't feel this kind of pressure. I can stop whenever I want or when I have used all of my money. I don't feel embarrassed or what.
That's sure to happen if you are so friendly to your friend and you don't know how to say no, I can't say no to a friend but not to someone I don't know and playing against with, but be sure to tell your friend before you start playing that you only have this money to play, so he will not expect more from you, it's better to be honest with your friend.
I think it's easier if your opponent is a friend of yours. Because they can understand if you really don't have enough money to gamble more. But if it's a stranger, he could judge you for quitting. Your right, it's better, to be honest than to push yourself to your limit just because you are embarrassed about quitting.
Why get pressured? It is your money that you are spending, you should not think of other people inside the casino. You get pressured, you will be wasting more money than you should be. That could also mean your family or yourself is deprived of something because of gambling. Remember that your money is precious and gambling is honestly a waste of money. If I gamble, it should be limited to the smallest amount. The hell I care about other gambler pressuring me.
Maybe he feels not right if he doesn't follow to spend like what his friends did, so that makes him spend more money on gambling. But yes, I think that he needs to remind that his money is something that he owns, and he doesn't need approval from other people to spend more or stop gamble. Limiting cash is something that we must do because if we cannot limit the money, we will lose all of the money in a short time.
Well, I have not experienced that kind of pressure since I don't gamble in physical casinos. I prefer online with no pressure. That's why I'm asking if physical gamblers have that kind of pressure. Yes, it's our own money and we can decide what to do about it but sometimes friends can give you pressure without them knowing it, by simply teasing you that you are afraid to bet more money, right?
