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.
Gambling with funds that one cannot afford to lose is a mistake every gambler should avoid by all means. When you calculate your potential loss from the beginning, you will be able to know if you can afford to lose it or not and if you can't,  then by all means stop and protect yourself from depression. Gambling is programmed in a way that the chances of losing is higher than that of winning so we should be mindful of the level of risk we can take.

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?

Is there less human pressure if gambling is conducted in the same place with friends?
Gambling with friends can be fun and can make losses bearable because the consolation would be that the loss is not to only yield but general. Apart from the aspect of losses, playing with friends is another way of socialising and bonding.  Although, it could also cause major distraction which could lead to mistakes and eventually losses.

In my case, it's better if I am betting with friends.
Why? It's simple, take the opinion of each friend and try to summarize how the game's result could be. But this is only for sports betting which I occasionally share with my friends. Somehow, all of the opinions taken could result in a good win because all the analysis of 4-5 brains will help in making a nice pick.

There are debates of course and it cannot be prevented because that's part of breaking down the results of the game. There's a way if you want to go against it, bet on your own without their knowledge. I've done that a lot of times because my instincts are telling me something different so I go against the flow.

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.

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.
