Wins and losses are common in gambling. Losing a bet creates a lot of human stress for many gamblers because there are many gamblers who bet such money that they cannot afford to lose.

If you are going to gamble in a 50-50 situation and you know that losing will hurt you so bad such that the feeling can turn to become depression then don't a gamble!!! Gambling shouldn't be a life or death situation and it's okay to watch from the sidelines, but if you will have to borrow money just to gamble then these could actually be early signs of gambling addiction and should find ways of managing your time to avoid being hooked to gambling!!!

Some other gamblers after losing betting money they become depressed. Most of the time I have gambled alone and some times gambled with friends. There are some positive and negative aspects of gambling in these two situations. I feel a bit relaxed there when I participate in the same bet with my friends. Because even if I lose there, I get consolation seing from others. At the same time there are some differences of opinion before betting which sometimes creates confusion.

Have any of you had any such feelings?

Fortunately for me, me and my buddies have agreed not to support the same teams just to create an atmosphere of competition and fun, but if it comes to putting money on a team this is usually personal as its easy to influence other people's decision if you are on a winning run and we try to avoid this kind of decision making.

If everyone is saying X team will win then there is less pressure , but when there are divergent picks... this is were the confusion comes in as people don't know what to go for which is why sometimes solo picks are better to remove any doubt or confusion!

The feelings I get from gambling with friends are different from the ones I get when I gamble alone. When I gamble alone, I tend to internalize things. There's a lot of soliloquizing. When I gamble with friends, we tease each other at the slightest moment during the game. Even a loss of funds doesn't feel like a loss because what you lose there is gained in the bonding and socializing that comes from being with friends. With friends, you cannot chase losses, and you cannot place a stupid bet that is above what you planned because there is always that one friend who will talk some sense into you. Gambling with good friends is like a risk management strategy.

I have the same situation, I feel more concentrated when I play alone. I can improve my skills, discover something new for myself. And when I play with friends, I start having fun and we start doing some nonsense, this is not a serious attitude towards the game. I realized that these are completely 2 different states for me, with friends I perceive it as complete relaxation without tension and I feel rested after that. And if I’m alone, then on the contrary, I need rest after this, after complete immersion. I can admit that if we have only 1 friend at most, then we can still discuss something serious with him and even he can tell us something really important or we tell him, which will allow us to increase our level. But in the end I realized that the more friends in one room, the more fun it is and you can’t have a dialogue about anything anymore, only jokes.

When it comes to leisure seeking then there are type of persons who are really that loving on going solo or alone because they do get distracted or wont really be able to enjoy gambling when they are with someone or even just a single friend and rather they would really be preferring on being alone because they could really be able to concentrate on what they are doing. Same goes for me
that i do prefer on going solo. This one would potentially be that able to avoid conflicts with your friends on which we know that there are moments that there would really be arguments that might
mold up in between you and your friends if you do have that opposite bets or having that other opinions on which this one is really that happening. There are really moments or times that
you do want to be alone and there are times that you do want to be with someone. It all depends on the mood that you are feeling on a certain point.

In fact, gambling with friends can make us more depressed and stressed. For me, gambling alone is better, rather than gambling by inviting or being invited by friends to an online or offline casino.

My experience is that gambling with friends is worse than alone, for example: if we win, of course we can end the game without compromise, whereas if there are friends around us, it will make the atmosphere more chaotic, for this reason, the atmosphere alone is safer than in a crowd.

Everyone has their own risks and sequences in gambling, therefore having friends and being alone when gambling has a different understanding, depending on the person, Some people gamble with friends who are proud of them, but I don't, it's actually more chaotic, winning and losing are things that are bound to happen, it's up to us to respond to all of that so we don't get depressed and act negatively.

Honestly, when I gamble with my friends, I feel there's no pressure, but purely as entertainment. We collect money, and deposit it to one of our 2 favorite crypto casinos (Rollbit & Stake.com), sometimes it's in his account and sometimes it's in mine, we share the bankroll and play it with full fun. When playing alone and losing $100, it's harder than knowing that you only lost $50 and the other $50 came from your friend money.

We don't see each other often, and when we do we call it "gambler quality time" Cheesy

It sounds great to be able to share all these feelings and emotions with good friends, overcome the loses together and share the winnings, or spend them in a good dinner together.

I said before that it is important the kind of friends you gamble with, and I'm happy to know that you are so privileged MAAManda.

This reminds me... I'm very bad at poker, but I'll think about joining the next competition held in the forum, because even if I lose, I think that it can be an entertaining experience with virtual friends, but friends after all.

There are times that I would also gamble along with my friends, and it lessen the pressure for me.
The only thing that I don't like whenever we do it is that I also don't care much about the money it is mostly for fun.
Most of the time we would end up losing, even if we would manage to win in our early bets since we don't want to stop cause we are having fun.

This describe me perfectly. I thought I was the only one with such feelings whenever I gamble together with my friends. The experience is top notch and that's when you will realize how fun and entertain gambling can be. Different are ideas are being presented and considered in order to go for the best option that will see our ticket boom at the end. The good thing about this experience of gambling together with friends is that even if the game lost, you won't feel the pain of losing your money too much and you will joke about it together again.

One problem we do encounter here from betting together is mockery. What we normally do when we want to bet in group is for each person to come up with a specific odds of games and we combine it together to place our bet. At the end of the game, if your predicted game is responsible for lost of the entire ticket, you will be mocked and laugh at which sometime leads to argument. The experience is a very good one but it's not the best since I prefer to be responsible for my gambling.

It is easier to play with friends, because if a person starts to lose emotional control or starts to bet more money than they are willing to, the friend can be a balancing point and help the person to see their mistakes. A good friend is precisely used to help each other, in good things and also in bad things, because sometimes in the heat of emotion we cannot see things clearly...

Well, when you bet with your friends around and all of you are placing your bets on the same or opposite sides, you tend to have more fun than being worried about the bets unless you guys are addicted gamblers and bet large amounts even when you are betting against each other. When you are with friends, you should make bets just for fun so that you guys can watch the game together and have some fun and enjoy the time while you are all together regardless of the result of the game.

When I'm with my friends, we don't bet on games by going to a betting shop or betting online but we do live bets between us which is like if I win, I will take the guys out for dinner or drinks and the same would be for the other guy that is betting against me. Such bets are more fun though they can be costly sometimes, lol.

I tried it once when I asked my coworkers about and thoughts about the NBA games, and he said that he hadn't thought of that yet, so I said that I would get back to him after a few hours. But after thinking, I've never reached out to him that day because I realized that we have our own judgments on things; one might work for him, one might not work for me, so for me, I would rather get lost with my own judgement than lose with someone else's. Yes, losing with someone is much more comforting since you have someone that you can share the frustration with, but it is much more happy if you win with your own judgement.

This just shows how cruel the human race is. Grin

We are comforted when our friends lose as well, this is very common to end up in the bad side not alone is somewhat comforting to us but it doesn't gonna change the fact that we lost our money so it's not changing anything just console our mind for no reason.

Usually I don't involve as group when I bet because we maybe forced to be unconsciously when we didn't want simply because our friends are betting, so stay alone and enjoy your loss and wins completely.

Sharing a gambling experience with friends can be more enjoyable and can also create a sense of connection between you and your friends compared to when you gamble alone. Laughing together, sharing happy moments, even failures create unforgettable memories. But it still has to be said that gambling damages personal relationships, friends can become enemies when they trust each other with money.

It's a pity that my childhood friends no longer have much contact now that each of them has become an individual with their own life story. The burdens of life and duty have pulled each person down different paths.

It is always good to have a meeting with friends and that shows that things can go quite well, the relationship between friends usually strengthens when they share those things, games, having a few beers and eating, all that is fine, although I have seen gaming sessions with friends who end up badly with betting, especially those friends who run out of money and the friendship can be affected, so you have to know who you can bet with, people or friends who are mature in that sense so that they do it so as not to bother each other. nor create some kind of friendship breakup, this is something we should always see, so in this type of things we can make a difference if we go to the money level, no one likes to lose money, if so, it is better to play online or in PVP mode.

sometimes a gambler feels bored when gambling online in a room alone and sometimes a gambler wants to feel the sensation of betting with friends making the same bet but when they lose they can laugh together and this is gambling to have fun.
In the past, before the trend of online gambling, I often played poker with other friends and that happened when I was very young and it was really fun betting with other friends, it had fun that we rarely had before, even though losses often happened, but if we got together with friends, everything looked fun.

but all that changes when a gambler who is married usually very rarely bets with his friends and they usually choose to gamble in their room enjoying their free time after working all day and I myself am currently doing the same thing and I have never bet with other friends but still you can enjoy every betting session to entertain yourself.

Yes, every time things change, we won't always be able to gather with our friends to gamble like when we were young, that's why those who are still relatively young, especially those who are not married, can do it and enjoy playing together with their friends when gambling and that's what I did before. I'm married and have a child. It's true that sometimes I get bored playing alone in my room, but not all friends have time to get together again when they have a small family like their life partner and their children.

I am one of those people who gamble alone at home and never leave my wife and children at home just to gamble with my friends, especially since many of them are busy with their own affairs and not all of them are still gambling, sometimes many of them have stopped playing. especially since I don't have any contacts to contact them and it's definitely difficult to play betting with my friends again like before, but let the past be just an experience, nothing more than that, but to be honest, enjoying gambling alone is sometimes not too boring because We can still look for other entertainment with our children and wife outside the home.

Betting alone creates more thinking because there is no input or advice so you really bet according to your own intuition, in the end when you lose you have no entertainment. However, it's a different story if you bet with friends, win or lose, it feels like we are not alone, there is a kind of encouragement to provide support to each other. Therefore, betting with friends is quite fun, even when we lose we can still laugh about the loss, or when we win we can share with friends who have lost. 2 conditions that really affect our mentality when betting, and honestly I prefer to do it with friends rather than alone.

When friends are bet simultaneously there may be some relief in place of regret between them in win or loss but may not be the same for everyone. If you place bets on the same bet with friends, those bets can be enjoyed very well. If you lose or win, you get a combined excitement which is not possible if you bet individually. But as many have discussed there are some disadvantages because you are not betting based on your own analytics, you have to bet based on your friends' research. The downside to this is that when the results are negative, many people may become suspicious. But my advice when it comes to betting is to bet yourself. After receiving predictions from friends, a decision can be more effective if it is followed up with one's own bets. However, those who regularly bet by themselves can enjoy the exciting atmosphere created by participating in the same bet with friends for a short period of time.

This will depend on what kind of friends we have at that time. If they are friends who are close enough and understand the situation, it can really reduce our burden when we lose at gambling. In fact, instead of being sad, we actually laugh when we actually lose at gambling. Because sometimes, teasing after teasing from our friends actually becomes good impact, because usually we already understand most of their language and the meaning of what they say. This can make it easier, rather than experiencing losses when alone.

But on the other hand, it will be more annoying if we are with other people who are actually friends, but it actually makes us even angrier when we lose. It's not because they don't care, but they only pretend to care and actually stab our hearts. That would be quite annoying. Sometimes we can feel these feelings, especially when we are feeling dilemma and sad. So, you really have to choose friends who like to play gambling with.

You need to start gambling without your friends now. It will be hard for you to cope up with future dealing with gambling if you always rely on your friends or if you need to share your experience with them. Not all the times that there are friends around that you can gamble with.

Should be your main goal right now to focus on gambling alone just to have a bit of relaxation too. Sooner or later you will use gambling alone and not be a problem anymore if you don't have your friends around you that are available to gamble with you.

Profit or loss, it mean to have a result, now, you thinks that sharing the defeat with someone you know allows you to make fewer losses, ~~lol~~, sorry, I don't understand the point, what you're saying is something very school, kids, man, you're having a beer with your friends and if the result is negative or positive , the mutual feeling is simple: next bet.

What fits is to discuss the game and get up to date on what the next bet is, consequently improving the decision on bet new.
