You were shy to remind a friend about something? That means you're either extremely awkward with people or that's not really your friend.
Friends are people you should be comfortable with. They're people who you share your secrets with. It should be completely normal to talk about lost bets.
I'd mention it casually like -hey, so who's buying the snacks now? and see how my friend reacts.
I've never argued about something like this nor would I. If this was a small bet I'd let it go, but I'd keep reminding him about it to see if he gets angry or openly says he won't pay for that or that there was no such bet. If he goes into denial, I'd be careful with him next time he needs money or wants to make a deal.

I used to play cards with my cousins when I was younger during the holidays. We would stay up all night playing cards, the stakes were ridiculous. We didn’t bet money, the loser was made to drink two cups of water. It’s all fun and games until you are the one losing five times in a row and you can’t drink any more water. If you can’t drink anymore, your only saving grace is if someone volunteers to help you drink. It was a game amongst us but it was pretty serious as no one wanted to kill the fun of the game.
If I had a bet with a friend, I’d make sure to remind him to honor the bet we made no matter how small or big the stakes are.

Often bet with friends on a sports match even bet on something that doesn't make sense. But my friend and I always keep our promises according to the previous agreement. So that when one day we want to bet again, both parties do not doubt each other.
But in the future, I currently avoid betting with friends and the reason is quite simple because I realize that money can ruin good relationships with our friends. It is better to bet on online sites than to bet with friends but end up being enemies.

During the last Real Madrid game, I bet my friend that if Real Madrid lost, he would pay for the snacks, and if Lille won, I would do the same. As you know, Real Madrid lost, but when the game ended, I was too shy to remind him to honor the agreement. He forgot about the bet and talked to me like nothing had happened. I didn’t bring it up since it was just a small thing 
. But it made me wonder— Imagine if friends bet with large amounts of money, it could really ruin their friendship if one of them doesn’t fulfill the deal. Have you ever experienced a similar situation with someone you know? How did it end? 
. But it made me wonder— Imagine if friends bet with large amounts of money, it could really ruin their friendship if one of them doesn’t fulfill the deal. Have you ever experienced a similar situation with someone you know? How did it end? You said it was a friend, right? I don't see how you are not frank enough with your friends to be able to tell them you guys had a bet and that he should buy you snacks now. There is nothing wrong with that, the friend shouldn't mind and you shouldn't be hesitant to ask him about it because as you said, it's a small thing but even if it was done for fun, you could say it in a good way like having fun, laughing, and just casually reminding him about the bet he lost and that he owes you some snacks.
Growing up with my childhood friends, I have experienced such things on a lot of occasions, but as you suggested above, I was never hesitant to ask them to fulfill their part of the deal nor were they ever hesitant to ask me if I was on the losing side. Friendships shouldn't have problems because of such things. However, as you mentioned about large bets, I would never make large bets against a friend because I know money can make things go bad, so I wouldn't risk the friendship for it in the first place.

At first I won't blame your friend for not honoring your agreement but you could have reminded him at least to have it in mind that you guys bet on something and the fun should be completed instead of him not responding to you as your bet club won the match. You can also tell him that for the fun to complete he needs to stand to agreement, then let him say that he won't gonna pay or anything else then you would know a kind of person he is. Usually while going on live with such bet there should be a someone who will hold both funds from you guys to pay off immediately the game played against any of you then he will also refund to the winner instead to hold a long argument between both of you. .

Yess i have , at that time I entrusted a bet to my friend, I won but when I asked about my winnings he casually said he didn't place the bet, even though he clearly went to the betting place, a little disappointed because I didn't win, but he returned my bet money, so I didn't care and until now I am still good friends with him, but if he wants to bet I don't trust him again

. But it made me wonder— Imagine if friends bet with large amounts of money, it could really ruin their friendship if one of them doesn’t fulfill the deal. Have you ever experienced a similar situation with someone you know? How did it end? This is a typical life situation that can happen even if neither you nor your friend gambles. In fact, for a lifetime of real friends can be found a few and all the rest of the human environment is just acquaintances who get some benefit from you. Someone spends time together because they live in a neighboring house or study together, someone because of common interests, which over the years will change and friendship will dissolve. By the way, true friends will stay with you even in the most difficult situation. But if I were you, I would not keep around people who do not fulfill their promises, because most likely in a critical situation, they will just turn away from you.

It is good that some events should happen so you'll really know the type of temperament that your friends have. Having said that I think that it's important to honor agreements, if you make a promise to someone then you should honor it. If there's a reason why you can't honor the agreement then you're obligated to tell the person. It could be that your friend forgot about the bet when the match ended, if I were you I'd have casually reminded him of his promise to buy the snacks, then you'd have known his real intentions. Money shouldn't come between friends but if for any reason it does happen then the parties should honor agreements.

If the table is turned, would your friend had forgotten or not raised up the conversation? However, you know him better than anyone else in the forum, but I don't think real friends would get separated for not reaching out to a bet bargain. The best part of it is keeping the bet on a low rate, so nobody feels it a heavy task to keep to their promise.

I was so often betting on football matches with my friends this because we did that for fun and who will lost will pay for snacks and drinks and i think it was fun because the excitement will be very different if watching football matches and betting on those teams who playing but friendship is more important than money for me so that's why me and my friends make a commitment that we will never bets with huge amount of money because we have realized if we bets using huge money and if one of us can win the bets then it can be ruined our friendship because i am sure those who lost will be feel dissapoint so that's why we did that for fun only and not to earn money

I do not see any reason friends should be betting with huge amount of money. They can just use small amount of money, or lose should pay for food in an eatery or restaurant for the betting. They should bet for fun and not a way to make money from themselves. I see using huge amount to bet as stupidity. I can not bet like that.Also if two people bet, the money should be with someone who is the third person. It will be their mediator.

I have never entered into such a betting deal with a friend or anyone else, but I have seen and heard stories of people who did, and 99 percent never ended well, some even lead to a serious fight that resulted in the loss of lives.. But it made me wonder— Imagine if friends bet with large amounts of money, it could really ruin their friendship if one of them doesn’t fulfill the deal. Have you ever experienced a similar situation with someone you know? How did it end? Like one that involved a popular musicians over here in my country, they both bet their car, and at the end of the game, the one who lost refused to submit his car key to his friend who won their bet on the excuse that he was only joking, the the friend who won won't have it and insisted on having the car key, the one who lost refused and it lead to serious arguments, and this was how both of them become enemies even till this day.
It's never a good idea to enter into any form of betting or gambling that involves money with a dear friend, except both of you trust each other so much that such bet won't lead to any issues or misunderstanding.

. But it made me wonder— Imagine if friends bet with large amounts of money, it could really ruin their friendship if one of them doesn’t fulfill the deal. Have you ever experienced a similar situation with someone you know? How did it end? I often do it with my hangout friends. The bet is cigarettes or some money. But there is never a problem that occurs when I or my friends lose. We realize that we are betting on something different. Of course there will be a chance of winning and losing. Or another possibility is that no one wins or loses. Moreover, no one will forget their bet because when we agree to the bet we put our cigarettes or money on the table. Whoever wins usually takes it and the loser still has to accept the final result.

Your friends will crack a lot of jokes whenever you introduce it as important. The match may have been fun for him but the bettor could tell how important it was. You should have told him how serious you are about the bet and the outcome might have been different. If you lose the bet, the money will be out of your pocket, so you should make him aware of that. Moreover, you both have to deposit money in one place and can spend it when the topic of winning yakan comes. For me i don’t even care if it's a real deal unless there's a lot of money involved.

This thing casual do happens in a normal conversation with our friend and now its up to you if you want him to know because in your part its a deal but in their part its just casual thing to make a bet without a proper deal at all just like joking around at all. For me I don't even care if its a real deal not unless there's a large amount money involve on it but if its just a snack I can pass it out at all. Then if you feel off better to not make a bet deal again to him.

If it was the small things then yeah I guess. I wouldn't hold it to him if he ever reminded me of a bet though since, well, it IS a bet, no matter how small. I reckon he'd feel the same if I reminded him of something like that. If it was something big, then hell yea I'd do my best to make him fulfill it no matter what. Especially if it involves something monetary or something. It's not that you forget about it because you're friends, it's exactly because you're friends that you should remember stuff like this and properly pay back. It's pretty similar to as how you'd treat a loan to others really.

it's something that's quite normal with a lot of folks and at doesn't always end well. If you're not ready to commit to what you've agreed, it's best you just enjoy the game together and don't try to bring money into the equation. A lot of friends have fought and injured themselves because something that started playfully ended up creating a serious misunderstanding.. But it made me wonder— Imagine if friends bet with large amounts of money, it could really ruin their friendship if one of them doesn’t fulfill the deal. Have you ever experienced a similar situation with someone you know? How did it end? Even the least borrowing of your friends money could bring an end to the friendship not to even talk about agreeing to give him an amount of a game goes in a certain direction and end up not giving him when it's time to do so. If you're dealing with a matured friend that isn't toxic, then you can afford to let such kind of bet play out but if it's those type that don't know how to create boundaries and don't know how to differentiate between a casual friendly bet and a serious one, it's best not to alloe such kind of thing to fly.

It can happens. But as always you must just keep your words unless your words have no value.
For sure, real bets (made in a bookmaker) have 0 discussions. it means people that agree on that rarely have discussion.
other kinds of bet "social one", can have some dispute but as already said no one want trash his words... trust in real life is an important thing... you can't start from scratch in most of the cases and for sure you haven't alt accounts!

When was this bet made? Is it before a few hours of the match starting?
I'm sure your friend is pretending like nothing happened because he's upset that Real Madrid lost.
Yeah you might feel bad because it's trivial, when you ask about this bet you might be afraid of a bad friendship, but it's better to ask than to leave it at that, a snack that you should have received as a result of winning this bet.
Once I bet directly with a friend, but whatever the result I will win or I lose I will give what was agreed in the bet.

This wasn't properly arranged by both of you, although people can be very corny sometimes but I'm not sure both of you took the gamble seriously. The only way to make sure it was going to be inescapable was if both you put your money on the table and make your bets, that's the old fashioned gambling that we know, what you guys did wasn't a bet it was like a promise and there's a hundred percent chance that he didn't forget, he might just be pretending that he didn't remember. Next time you want to make a bet with someone make sure you guys put your stakes on the table.
