Sometimes I also share bets with friends, in these scenarios, you should agree on where you both want to bet mutually because if not, you should just separate. If you do share a bet, there should be no blaming if your bet loses. And the fun should not disappear even if you lose; don't take it seriously because gambling is just a pastime. But the most enjoyable part is when both of you win in the end and celebrate together where you want to celebrate your winnings.

Is there less human pressure if gambling is conducted in the same place with friends?
It depends on the kind of friends,
If they are good friends that are not in any competition with you, you will not feel bad if you loose and they win, there will be no pressure. They will cheer you up.
If they are bad friends, they will criticize you if you loose and they win, they may make you get depressed.

Why do people gamble with friends? To be honest, I don’t quite understand this. I believe that gambling is for single people. Friends will most likely interfere with your play. But here a lot depends on what your goals are in the game. If your goal is to get rich, then it's probably not a good idea to play with friends. Firstly, to do this you need to adhere to one strategy, and friends are people with different characters and different worldviews. They may have different ideas about what is good and what is bad.
Secondly, friends can distract you. But if your goal is simply to have fun with friends to watch a sports match, then you are doing the right thing.

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.

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?

The difference that you could really be able to feel when you are betting with friends is that on the time that you both have experienced those loses then this is where you would really be telling into yourself that it is really just that fine because you do have that someone that accompanies you with your loses on which this  could really lessen up the burden or the stress that it might actually give on which it would really be something that
other people might really be feeling on and this is why they are really that fond on betting in together with their friends on which we know that this is something that would really be that depending or according into someones preference.

When it comes to my own experience then it doesnt matter whether having a friend or not, it wont really be giving out that different feeling on which on the time that i do lost a bet then it would really be giving out
that frustration but since you are already prepared on what to come then i do easily moved on and make another bet as long my bankroll isnt depleted yet then it would really be continuing on playing.
This is something that you should really be having in mind so that you wont really be finding yourself that too impulsive.

I have done crazy things with friends before, crazy game of betting and losing or wining but that was then, the experience is quit fun and entertaining, but now that I am a grown up person, there is many tasks at hand to meet my target, now I have responsibilities, gambling with friends at this age isn't on my list.

Also, all my old friends are no longer living nearby, we now talk on the phone once in a while, they have their homes to look after, families and others, I doubt they will want to us to come together to gamble, they are not gamblers by blood, we only gamble then because we were young.

Maybe if some day, digital identity works like some new projects are gearing up to bring into reality, then we can try new things even while we are all afar from each other, I've been hearing some stuff about metaverse capability, I think it should be possible to make gambling more life like in the future.

Gambling with friends is at least better since there is human interaction in between unlike when you are just betting on the online casino. There's talking around and laughing which lessens the stress, this is how gambling should be. Before the internet, this is how it was done with friends in the neighborhood.

Although I always wanted to get back to that time when we were still gathering every weekend, it's hard to find time anymore when people are busy. At the ned of the game, the money anyway is spent on beers.
Agreed, gambling really is fun when you are playing with your friends or colleagues, but the thing is, you still can lose something although you are having fun with your friends. I also enjoy playing gambling with others, I mean friends, because you can get the bonding you want and you will not feel the idea of losing money just to have fun, but is it really worth it? Yes, of course, but if not or you're playing alone, you will feel the frustration and stress while playing, but I also will not recommend that you always play with your friend because the idea is that you will still always lose money, and even if you are having fun, it will still have a bad impact on your financial state, so maybe just balance all things out. It's not bad to play with friends, but also consider your finances because maybe if you are having too much fun, you will not notice the impact of it.

Having such consolation is inconsequential. When you bet and lose, it is your money that is lost and not that of your friends despite betting same game but you are losing your money. I understand the feeling of having to lose with someone but you are not sharing the loses so you also have a secret or public remorse of losing like you gambled alone.

True to the fact that everyone knows that they had effort towards winning and if it doesn't happen that way then no one is blamed. However, not many gamblers like to join effort to gamble same game exactly. Sometimes, a friend can change his own portion of the game in between either by adding or removing a game and at the end either it causes the losing for that gambler or makes him more profit to the envy of the other gambler who didn't add or included any other game.

Online casino promotes gambling alone because it is just you interfacing with a phone or computer set. You are hardly distracted by external bodies but you will be closed to inputs and advice from friends or other gamblers. However physical casinos provide the avenue to enjoy gambling with friends because they can view your bets and make suggestions which might either be beneficial or counterproductive. There will always be some level of distraction when gambling with friends but it has its type of fun. I usually see this avenue as a time to hang out with friends so I don't place high bets because the distraction can affect my predictions. However, if your friends are professional gamblers they will understand that every individual is responsible for his bet, hence there is a need for independence or less pressure.

Gambling with friends or going solo - both have their good and bad points.  When there's money involved, winning and losing can hit hard either way.

i've tried it both ways plenty of times.  Gambling together, there's that sense of shared experience to soften the blow if you lose.  You can rant about bad luck or cheer a win.  Solo, you sink or swim on your own.  The victories may feel more personal but walking away empty-handed stings too.

So for me, it depends on my mood which way Ill go.  Feeling social, I'll gather some buddies and make a fun night of it.  But when I'm feeling introspective, I'll gamble alone and really focus in on just me and the game.  Either way when actual cash is on the line, its gonna get intense.  But shared misery can be half misery, just like solo glory feels pretty damn glorious.

In my experience, I just want to gamble alone because because I don't let my friends know that I gamble, I don't let them know anymore because I don't want to hear any side comments from them because it affects me sometimes and that causes me to lose focus on the things I do, because they like to contradict when they know something about me. So that's it, I'd rather gamble alone than with them so that if they lose, they won't have anyone else to blame, Same as mine,  I won't blame others for the outcome of my betting, as it may become sourcs of some misunderstanding, they will copying what you do or your decision but once they fail, they will blame you even if you didn't force them to imitate the things that you do.

I think even if you can afford to lose, at the back of your mind we don't want to lose in a game as humans are very competitive by nature.

Definitely, when we play with friends, we feel relaxed even if we lose. And I have friends that after he win, he will give some to us and so we will continue to play and have some fun. And then when we won, it's time for us to give it back to him. Although sometimes we don't go together and play, but when we do, it's one of the best experience specially going home in the morning winning, and drunk. So it's very different when you play online, you will get get this emotions that even if you lose, you still feel happy about it.

Not just friends though, with families as well going into a land base casinos, playing side by side with them in slots. So it's a great experience and we did have a blast. Couple of nights ago, I went together with friends, my wife, my sister in law and everyone was winning and we were very family.

And while playing in a live roulette games, there was a mother and his two sons, Lol, mother doesn't want his kids to play together with because she says that they bring him bad luck. But the kids insistent and it was so funny hearing their conversations.

Gambling with friends is more fun for me, we laugh and joke about it, the feeling is greater than gambling alone, I read somewhere on this forum about how friends can turn to enemies when gambling and loses occurs, we have never gambled with what we can't afford to lose and at the time we are still very young.

I wish such great time can make a return but we are no more closer like before, responsibility have divided us around the world, its such a shame, today I am all alone and to even making new friends is harder, the last time I made one we turn into enemies later on.

When I gamble alone I gain the excitement from the game itself, mostly in slots where the feel and the sound always get me interested, but gambling among your friends is more exciting than gambling alone, the problem is gambling haven't gotten to that level where divided friends can still come together and gamble.

I am waiting for such day to arrive, hopefully through Metaveerse or other future  technology.

I did not get it Rabata, your idea is that you gamble and friends simply accompany you? And they will cheer you if you lose. Or the idea is about bet and risk sharing? Or it is about placing same bet as your friend, and if you lose you are less disappointed, because you are not the only one who has lost?

First of all I did not get disappointed much when I lose, because after I made a deposit, I have already said goodbye mentally to my money. Have I ever felt less disappointed when both, my and my friends bet has lost. I think no, I think I have felt more disappointed, because we together did not manage to figure out the correct result. The synenergy of our research or brainstorming "who will win" has failed.

Have you heard of "Misery loves company?" This is why a gambler will feel less sad when they loose with their friends because there are people to share the sadness with. When many friends loose together, they can all laugh about it, and feel okay after some time, but when you gamble alone and loose, there is no one to laugh it out with, or share the sadness of loosing with, so it burdens you down. There is less pressure when you take part in the same bet with friends.
It's true that sharing a loss with others can make people feel less alone and lonely. It is also true that being with others can help you move on from a loss because everyone can share sorrow together. It appears that the social side of gambling can have both beneficial and harmful consequences. On the negative side, it can encourage people to continue gambling even when they are losing because they do not want to disappoint their friends. It can stir up some sort of peer pressure which isn't good at all. But whether with friends or alone, while gambling,  q gambler should always remember to apply caution and always remember that the chances of losing are always higher than  that of winning.

In my experience, gambling alone is more relaxed because you won't get social pressure and you can do anything you want.

But if I gamble with friends, I will make sure if my reason is to strengthen our relationship, I don't want to gamble with friends without get anything. Gambling with friends consume your times, limit your desires and you might spend more than what you should. So I treat gambling with friends is something like an investment.

I don't gamble with friends, I tend to keep it as my littek secret, gambling is actually something that I will advise against, either friend or family, because I don't want to be blamed for your possible addiction later.

I have friends but I don't want to get into gambling with them, there are other things we do for fun, like a few local challenges and we do use money, but it's not gambling in a casino.

Its always fun to be in the midst of your friends and catch some fun but we can't all be the same, I will rather gambling inside my home, alone, I have always enjoyed gambling alone, all by myself, so I am fine with gambling alone.

I believe gambling losses are more common than winnings. Smiley

Why bet such money that gamblers can't afford to lose? It sounds absurd. If you couldn't afford to lose that money, you wouldn't bet it. It is very reckless to risk your last money.

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.
Instead of losing and experiencing negative emotions, which would put you off gambling completely, you find comfort in your circle of friends. The impact of this consolation will be negative, because you will not experience the full bitterness of defeat. This means that you will continue to play and lose more, which will delay the moment of recovery from gambling.

Have any of you had any such feelings?

I am not always comfortable in betting with friends. I feel that there will be too much pressure to abandon your own line of thought or analysis and accept that of the majority. Because when you are a group you may not want to look different or do things differently from them to avoid side talks. I prefer to bet alone and keep it to myself because I am not the one to standout from the group .
