Topic: How about your experience in taking part in the same bet with friends? - page 2. (Read 646 times)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Their friendship is beautiful, after all, what is friendship if the interests of those you call friends are not considered when taking group decisions. The guy in question is strong in character, being honest with yourself is one of the most challenging thing to do. Some people bow to peer pressure even when they know quite alright that its killing them. I think what made his decision stand strong is his asking his friends not to play in front of him, you cannot be trying to stop a habit and still be in an environment where exists, you need to cut  all ties to it and that's what he did to stay dedicated to his resolve.

Gambling is not for everybody and if you see yourself uncomfortable with the outcomes of your gambling activities, I think you need to curb your involvements or quit totally like the guy mentioned above. The friends are  also wonderful that they helped their friend preserve his decision. They are the real MVPs

Peer pressure is something that can normalize gambling in one's life a lot more than if one was to start gambling on his own.

For instance, I know a friend of mine who was watching a lot of gaming streamers growing up, he was a bit of a lonely guy, but as these streamers realized that there's a lot of money to be made from gambling streaming of course they started dedicating more and more of their content to this type of games.

So the issue here is that so long as my friend was watching a stranger gamble, he was of course interested in the content but not so much on putting a lot of money towards gambling himself. When he however went to parties of his friends group and saw them putting hundreds of dollars towards slots, he started believing in gambling a lot more. So naturally being a lonely guy and having fully normalized gambling in his money now, he started losing substantial amounts without even telling anyone.

Thankfully after a while he admitted to it and asked his friends to stop playing in front of him. The good ending here is that they switched to playing board games other than gambling in their get togethers. All for their friend. Quite admirable. 

Indeed, being with friends allows us not to feel emotionally independent and not to struggle so strongly with losing, there is so much empathy here and a group of friends will help us develop more fun in gambling, it will include a lot of stories and discussions about the match, instead of a bitterness and reflection on a victory that was hard to come by. In addition, because of the distractions created by friends as well as the level of not being too serious, the loss rate and money lost are also reduced, sometimes just a few drinks between friends, a good way to restrain yourself in gambling

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.

Definitely that's the mindset of a responsible gambler. Some may blame gambling for losing unable to accept their wrong actions, so they continue making the same mistakes over and over again. We understand the risk, we take it, so we know that there's a possibility that we will lose money, so that's fine because it will never put us at a high risk if we are responsible.

This is another thing mate, OP shared to bet with friends, meaning you bet on the same team, you are not betting against each other.

I would like to express the banal opinion that when it comes to gambling or trading, I realize that the responsibility for my decisions lies solely with me. And only on me. I don't understand those who share advice. Asking friends for advice on this issue can be dangerous, as it can negatively affect our relationship.
I understand that everyone should be responsible for their actions, and therefore I try to make my own decisions without shifting responsibility to others. I remember that friendship is more important than money, and therefore I prefer not to ask friends for advice in gambling in order to avoid possible conflicts and keep our relationship pure.

Who is to blame if you gamble with the money you can't afford to lose and still lose it? You, of course, that is why I do not pity those who are in this category, they brought the issue upon themselves out of their lack of wisdom. If they are wise, they would have to weigh the risk and the outcome well to know if they should proceed before ending in it. And if they proceed and lose, they should blame themselves.

Also, for me, I see no difference between gambling alone and with friends when it comes to feelings, it is my money, so I feel the same when I lose or gain. But one thing I can't trade for anything is my privacy. I like to do my things my way and mostly private, especially if that thing has to do with risk-taking. I've seen a friend blaming his fellow friend for his loss because he changed his prediction just because his friend predicted differently. This is one of the many I like to avoid in this regard.

Fine, a friends may contact me for my predictions, I can give him on a friendship level, but for us to be deliberating on which team to choose or not choose, I don't do that. It can cause more confusions especially if the friends are such that feels perfect and knows better. They may confuse you, and if you are such that can't be confused, they may just start unnecessary argument that is annoying. Why not do your thing yourself when you have all it takes?

The positive aspect of betting with friends is that we will be in a situation that is quite lively because of the togetherness where maybe the atmosphere of fun with friends can be a little bit to heal our hearts when we lose or it can also be to minimize the tension in running bets and I am sure that quite a lot of gamblers prefer to gamble with their friends whether it is in the type of physical gambling or online, as I do which I also like you more often gamble with my friends.

The exchange of opinions is common in situations when you gamble with your friend where there is always a difference of opinion between you and your friend in terms of making a decision before betting and sometimes it is quite confusing between we should bet using our own feelings and opinions or follow something that is suggested by our friend, and in my opinion even so, in the end, your opinion or your friend's opinion is still unknown about the truth, or the point is that we can't be sure that the results at the end of the session will really be able to bring us to victory unless we have completed the gambling session because everything will be clear when you have completed the game, so for me and what I do is that I better bet with my own feelings and opinions regardless of the results later.

I always gamble with my best friend. Having the same bet with them can have both positive and negative aspects. Positive in a way that you'll feel comfortable and supported, especially when losing, just laughing it off. And negative in a way that there will be times that the two of you will have differences in opinion and strategies. It creates pressure on confirming the final decision of the bet. Although, sometimes, listening to them can always get insights that they have a point.

Yea but not a collective games of different people because I don like playing gamble in a situation I will be having double thoughts. I have seen several people who brings there opinions on prediction and later comes back that the game played was not predicted properly all because he was not convinced if the game will play. Instead he will choose to play another game from another person there by disorganising the already predicts match. and people get confused and play differently. Because of that reason I have decided to either play on my own prediction or just play a game predicted by someone making it 2 different ticket rather than combining different predictions from people. Because definately they will make you confuse.

Yeah I suppose you are correct, because I can remember this one very scene when I wanted to try something stupid when I was out with the boys and immediately some of my friends had to tell me to actually think twice before doing it and they all supported and stopped me and they did this owing to the past gambler I used to be, thinking I wouldn't flinch before I took the risk but they never knew I have changed but on still with friends so many gambling errors can be provided and I suppose the money you would use when together something that any gambler can lose and like you said no chase of lose because of the fun you are having together.

What am about to say applies more to those in the lower and middle class very often. Most times when you find those within this social status gambling more than they can afford to loss, it’s probably because they’ve got plans of what they could do with the win money and as such, they’ve taken a step to go for less risk but more stakes. This would be some means to bring themselves closer to winning but in reality, the game could always play either ways.
In the event of a loss, you could imagine just how broken such individuals would be. More frustrated than you came. A lot of people have found themselves in a suicidal position with that. Loosing is never easy to get used to or suck up and as such, you need some know how at the game to leverage for your advantage.
