Gambling like that I have often done with my friends who are basically just looking for fun in their spare time and not gambling to get a profit. There are many things that can be made as gambling with friends when we are together and whatever type of gambling we usually do together and what is at stake is not only money but what is a joint decision at that time, if one of us has run out of capital for bet, then we will stop playing and the results we get will usually be used together, such as to buy drinks, food, cigarettes etc.
I have those kinds of friends too that are scared to gamble their money, but who is to blame them? It's their hard work earned money, so I understand if they don't want that. Collecting funds together for just enjoyment is what makes friends closer. For my friends that have no money anymore, sometimes we contribute so that friend, who has no money, would get the chance to play or gamble too. It's just bonding.
I did that before but the feeling is different. I don't want to make money from my friends, I just feel it weird but we did some competitions before but the pot isn't too high. Its more of a friendly game and tournament, it was all about having fun not making money with them. Even with the old days when the games are only Counter Strike 1.3 and Battle Realms, we use to play only with a very small bet.
Hmm, I feel that too sometimes if one of your friends has no much money but you see that he is losing. It doesn't feel right, but that's what improves people. They need to know that they should up their game at the pace that our friends are playing. It's fun to have a tournament with friends and the teasing is what makes it more fun, making sure that they are a sport and not a killjoy.
I remember playing Deathmatch with my friends when it's Counter-Strike 1.3, it's really fun and with all the trash talk.
One of the multiplayer game I like to do bet with friends is NFS which is very fun to play and we can play among our friends too which kind of gambling needs our skills to win,its not a luck based game,if we can drive faster than others then we can bad the money.But it looks like childish now so not even playing those games by myself now because feeling matured.
I do like Need for speed too, and I started playing that franchise when it was NFS Underground, and I only used the first starting car almost until the end of the game. But what I like most about it is the NFS Most wanted, earning stars and just running away from the police there, it's thrilling. I haven't tried betting with money on NFS, but it's interesting to do, I gotta buy that game. lol.
