What you're feeling is a familial bond, the pain of losing doesn't really make you feel that bad because you know that your friends are there and you'd be doing fine because there's some feeling of comfort with them plus the losses is trumped easily with fun, that's why it's more fun to gamble in a casino when you're with friends, the shenanigans that you're going to involve yourselves is limitless but the fun is definitely there plus the memories, even if you lose big time there, the memories of those times would be more about your time with your friends and not the money that you've lost.

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.
That's what I feel as well and that is how it should be. When you do something with your friends, it should be fun and there should be no stress involved because friends give you a good time and even when you are having a hard time in life, when you have your friends around and if they are good and genuine friends, you won't feel stressed and you will suddenly start feeling good because of the positive vibes they bring in the atmosphere around.We don't see each other often, and when we do we call it "gambler quality time" 
When I get together with my friends and if we wish to do some gambling, we go somewhere together and have some fun there making bets and gambling some money away, sometimes we manage to win and sometimes we lose the money but we have a good time which is completely worth the money spent.
It's hard to forget that, you replied to my message in June, and since I made my post in April, we haven't seen each other again until now due to work & long distance. BTW, when you meet and gamble together, what kind of gambling do you usually play? My friends and I usually only play slots because our meeting time is short, so we need to know ASAP whether we win or lose
.Then what about you guys? do you guys go to Sportsbook, Live Casino? or are you the same as us who choose to play slots?

Is there less human pressure if gambling is conducted in the same place with friends?

What I have learned from these two situations is that no matter what happens after you made a bet, you are the only one responsible for the results of that bet, losing or winning you are the only person who would enjoy or feel bad about it. When you make the same bet as your friend, you are only gaining more confidence about the outcome, but it is different when the results comes out and only your money is involved there, beside that, both of you are not going to effect that bet, in a sport bet or even in a live casino, roulette, Blackjack or Poker.
Personally, I prefer gambling alone most of the time, so I don’t really get influenced by that friend who might have more money or he is risking more than me, so in that case, there are more chances for you to bet more money or even choose another side which is going to make you lose rather than gain, that time where you are going to feel more bad that you didn’t trust your decision and didn’t enjoy.
The whole point of gambling is to enjoy, which means, risking your own money based on other people’s decisions and perspectives will reduce the your entertainment towards 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 seeing from others.
It's normal to feel that way; even though it doesn't guarantee a win, it creates a kind of illusion that it could actually cut! Yunno why? "Two heads will always be better than one" I had an experience about a similar case and, to be honest, it didn't end well. A particular gambler that believes in luck rather than having an experience came and logged on the booking system in our casino and saw series of already selected games, then he decided to pick up the booking code and wager on all of 'em... In summary, he wagered on atleast 15 tickets with 50k each and lost everything.

Yes this really happened after losing bet, some gets so much depressed that they don’t think straight anymore and happens to be challenged to us and miss understanding to everything because they don’t get happy after the gambling because of the experience, this what I feel that I can contribute on this.
This is why we need friends around to help us forget we even lost a bet. If you have the right friends around while gambling, you can never get depressed over your loss as there will be lots of jokes and laughter to help you forget your sad moment. Any gambler who constantly gets depressed after every loss (whether in the midst of friends or not) should consider taking a break from gambling as this is not healthy for him or her. Gamblers should understand that losses are also bound to occur in gambling, so mourning so much for the losses will not bring the money lost back. It is better they gamble with very small amounts or avoid gambling totally to protect their mental health.

Yes at the physical betting shops, I have made bets on sequence events with friends, sometimes we predicts out out of being attracted to normal arguements and then we could all come to an aid of succumbing to an extend where one is able to convince the rest.
So we could just walk up to have a predictive bet on it
Also, sometimes I goes to the physical gambling shops and would not just be in the mood to bet but if a friend walks in with so forecasted games to bet on, I goes through the games and get little convince and then I bets on it.
I am usually in this kind of way betting below my usual fund of when I bet on my own predictions. I have actually not won in any of these but has always accepted it likely because the message to my head is always that ... I did not fail alone to, take it that way. Lol

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.Have any of you had any such feelings?

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.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"
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.

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. 
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.
