Now I am angry at my friend because he didn't keep to his words. Although I am still happy about the win, I wish he had given me back the $10. Then, I would have win bigger money.

There probably a reason why your friend failed to give back the money he owed you. And since you already won more than your friends owed you, you should forgive your friend already. Aside from that, you would be writing a different story if you lose the bet.

The thing called "if only" or "what if" is the things that keeps a person unrest. Better let go of the thought that you could have won bigger so that you could be happier on your bet result. Greed will never satisfy a person and may often result to misunderstanding between friends.

Good day everyone,,, I would like to share my winning with you guys, but I am not just doing it because I won the bet, but it is because it wasn't the amount I wanted to stake that I staked.

A friend of mine collected $10 from me earlier yesterday and I wanted to use the money to gamble, but based on, he is my friend. I gave him the $10 he asked for, and the guy said he would return the $10 back ASAP after 3 hours, but he didn't and the $10 was the amount and same money I wanted to use and stake a bet (I have some coins but don't have cash and I don't want to sell any penny of my coins for any reason). But letter on, I used 1000 naira ($1) to stake the bet and I won 49,814 naira (about $50+).

Now I am angry at my friend because he didn't keep to his words. Although I am still happy about the win, I wish he had given me back the $10. Then, I would have win bigger money.

Always be very careful when lending money to your friends as this can often cause problems between the two of you, in the few cases I have lent money to my friends I always ask why they need the money and when I am getting paid, however even then I still consider the money I lend them as lost and I do not expect it to get it back, and if that is indeed what happens I never lend anything to them, however it needs to be mentioned you also have some responsibility here, as even if those 10 dollars were supposed to be gambled away, this was money you could not spare as you have already determined how you were going to use it.

Would have, could have, should have. I get it in that you could have won more but I reality if you were betting more money you might have altered your entire bet to go even safer and you would have missed out on any winnings at all. You can never tell what would have happened to something that didn't. Be glad you won and move on.

That's how gamblers are, instead of being happy with what they have won, there are also those who are angry with themselves for not risking more money on their lucky day. Of course there is no point in regretting because it is advisable to save some of the budget for tomorrow because there is no guarantee whatsoever of winning today's bet.

Greedy gamblers tend to often lose more money than they win. Of course, this is a bad way to manage the budget because potential losses cannot be completely ignored. Winning $50 today is better than losing his entire budget, he should be grateful and return to betting on another game next week and try his luck again.

They would be always having the behavior on trying to look on much better side which it isnt bad on some things but for gambling then this what makes you desperate and this is bad.Instead on trying to look into those bigger winnings then it would be that better that you should be thankful or grateful that you do able to win up and basing with that $1 to $50 then this isnt something a win or odds that you could easily be able to hit up
specially on sports betting considering that parlays is really that too damn hard to make some good hit then its still a good hit on what OP does have, it did really just turn out that he's really that been thinking
on what if he had been able to bet bigger?

Human beings doesnt really get that contented on what they have or on what they have obtained and would really be always love on looking for something better or on what
are the things that they didnt do. Getting angry on the situation? I cant blame him though because even myself would be thinking up this way. haha

It's a bit funny what you said, especially regarding lending and borrowing. I want to ask, if your friend returns it on time will you still win your multibet bet. with the scenario, you have prepared the multibet betting options that you will do. or, you start the multibet option with the money you have. these are two different issues, because we can look at them from many points of view. the point, as you claim. If your friend returns it to you correctly, you can win big with your multibet bet. or it could be that you will choose another bet. in a sense, your choices change.

To be sure, I don't know for sure how and what happened. But what is clear is that you won the victory you deserved to win. There are no other words, if that's what you should get, you can't completely blame your friend. after all, you gave it to him yourself, because he is a friend of yours. So in essence, just accept what should be your victory. After all, if you are destined to get a big win or 1000x, your luck will never change. so please understand, and forgive your friend. Moreover, fellow gamblers who know the ups and downs of gambling.

Anyway, you can win your bet again if your prediction is good.

He must know that there is no guarantee of winning every bet, even if you are a sports betting analyst or you can predict victory in slot gambling, even though you have won, you must know that luck is still on his side. However, he should anticipate not making the same bet in the future, because luck does not always come and if he loses the bet, he may be disappointed with his decision to place a high bet on an unpredictable gamble.

However, OP only placed a small bet of $1 so he's not worried about losing a bet of that, but he was lucky to win up to $50 on that bet, I hope he withdraws the profits and keeps gambling with small bets.

Well, shit situations do really happen and it is really indeed that you might have won 500 bucks if you have just that able to bet that $10 on where your friend borrowed but since we know that everything cant really be predicted then just be grateful that you have been able to win up $50 rather than on having nothing at all but well if you have been able to bet bigger then it could really make you think that you should have bet a bigger amount but since we are talking about gambling then it wouldnt really be something that can be known. So the amount that you have won then this is something that you could really be able to make bets
on other games on which you might be able to win up something big and since you do already have 5x bigger amount or bankroll with the recent win. Still not bad though!.

I've come to realize that after every bet has been decided, there's always a feeling of regret afterwards no matter the turn the game takes. If it takes a negative turn, you'll regret why you staked the game with so much amount and if it takes a positive turn, you'll regret why you staked the game with such small amount.
Go ahead and enjoy your winning OP, I'm pretty sure if the game didn't go as planned you would be singing a different song.

I understand how it feels when you have planned how much you are to bet on certain games and something unexpected happens that makes you not bet on the games as you have planned.

On second thought, have you thought about a situation where your friend returned the borrowed money as promised and you used the $10 to bet on the games you have at heart and you lost to it? What will you then do? To regret ever betting with the $10, instead of a smaller amount like $1.

My advice to you is to let the $10 not returned to you by your friend to be forgotten. Just take it as one of those things that happens when you borrow a friend's money to pay back later because they don't return it as promised.

The thing is we never can tell the future, so there was no way for you to know that lending money to your friend and not using the money to gamble will reduce the money you would have won. Your friend also could not pay back or go along with his side of things, so it is something for you to learn that you should never trust him again with money. One very bad character that people in need may have is to be heavily self-centered at the time when they are making demands. They will say anything just to make sure you give them including promising to pay back when they cannot. Avoid people like that.

I think you got really lucky and made about 5000% profit. Does it really matter what you could or could not have won? If you think about it, anything is possible. You could win hundreds of millions as long as you have the right lottery ticket. But there is no sense in kicking yourself for not having the right numbers.

If anything, I think that you should know when to quit.

That is why whenever I gamble, I adhere to my own self-made rules on gambling. I put in daily limits for losses and wins and I do not go over those limits.

You are lucky that you won and that was why you are blaming your friend for preventing you from winning big. Assuming the was the opposite, you wouldn't blame your friend. I believe that there are sometimes that someone must have saved us from losing big, because we helped them with the money that we were supposed to you for gambling.

OP, I understand how you been because you win would have been x10 of that amount which is a big win to me because I don't normally have big wins, because I gamble with little amount and I also go for small odds. I hope that you will not get mad at your friend when you see him because of this. I borrow the money that I can forget about to friends and family, so that if they can't pay me back, we can continue with our relationship.

When something like that happens, just think that you were not destined to win more than that which is the reason why your friend didn't return the money on time. Never regret things that didn't happen or you lost something because of another event not happening on time because it's all about our luck and destiny, and even if that thing had happened, we would still have the same outcome somehow. So, always remember to be happy with what you get and don't regret such things.

There are a lot of things in life that we either do or don't do but then we regret doing or not doing them, but what I've learned is that if we just accept what has happened instead of regretting or feeling bad or getting angry, we will have a more positive life and it will be easier for us to move on.

Remember, if you are not destined to win a lottery, you won't win it even if you buy 100k tickets, but if you are destined to win it, you will win it even if you have just 1 ticket among millions of tickets. That's how life is, just be happy and move on.

Congratulations on your wins. You might not have won much but at least you got some money from the bet. You would have been happy that he didn't pay back the money when due if you had lost the bet because he would have saved you from losing more. Sometimes disappointment could be a blessing or have adverse consequences but in your case, it deprived you of a bigger win. But you still have to be proud of yourself because you are a good friend who can assist when one is in need.

Sometimes we just have to accept things the way they are. If you were so sure about the game and the money you have in your hand was not enough, you could have either looked for alternatives to make your wager amount high or, when your friend returns the money, you can replace it back (that one can't be regarded as borrowing because you already have the money somewhere).

Gambling cannot be predicted, hence I don't think OP was sure that he would win the game. Do you expect OP to go and take a loan or credit to cover up the deficit of what he has? What if his friend didn't return the money? He made the right decision by gambling with the money that was available because he could lose the game and become a debtor.

Your friend saved your from addiction, and now he knows your price and price of your friendship - 500 dollars.

Does this have something to do with addiction? Someone wished to stake some amount of money on gambling, and a friend later borrowed the money and promised to return it in some hours, which the friend failed to do, and he later staked a little amount of money. It's just something that is normal, and it happens to gamblers who win often come lucky; you won’t expect it. However, the OP wan acted to use the money to stake, not that he has adduced to gambling but just a wish.

Although I understand where you are thinking, you are thinking that if he uses such an amount to gamble and wins, he will continue doing something similar to that that may lead to addiction. You are quite right, but you know that is not how everybody views gambling. Addiction comes from how you view gambling. Most people who view gambling as a source of income are the ones who are getting addicted to gambling.

. And the gambling you only win what God has given you so even you stake with $100 if you would loss you would still loss and if you stake with small amount if you would win you would still win and gambling does not follow whether you stake with big amount or small amount but whenever your luck shine then you win that day. Therefore your today winning is your luck so don't blame your friend for not given you the $10 to stake. The main thing here is you staked today and you win and whenever your friend gave your the $10, you can use it to stake and win the expected amount. Winning $50+ with just $1 is a very good outcome of the game. God has butter your bread for the day. And one thing you have to know is that you don't have to depend on gambling and don't ever use your last cash to gamble because if you don't have luck that day then you will go home empty. So you should be happy of winning such amount in this Christmas season because it will solve some problems for you if you a family man.

It's all fun when you win but get angry or sad when you lose the ticket. You should never feel sad or regret that you bet smaller amount, it's normal thing and I think as a good management in risk, you have done the best thing any other gambler would have done. If you have put more money on the that game you just played, that's when you end up losing the game, you didn't expect it that's why it even came, the ones you put much expectations usually end up badly.

The game you even selected are very much okay to put good amount(amount depend what you can afford to lose), lower multiplier should have attracted high amount so that you can win something big but in this your game, staking high was what you should have done but nevertheless, it's not bad because you bet with what you have in that moment and you shouldn't never regret about it.

I wouldn't advice to do that, because he hasn't got the money somewhere, but a third party, and chances are that his friend doesn't repay.

I will advise you not to feel too bad about this game because gambling is something that always happens sideways most of the time. You can also think of it the other way: if your friend had given you the money earlier and you happen to stake it all and the game loses what you could have been thinking, or assuming as you stake the $0.88 and the game happens to cut, you will have been putting blams on anyone or rejoicing that you did not use the entire amount to gamble.

Yes, you can't be sure about what could've happened if you behaved otherwise, so better not worry too much about what could it have been and focus in something more productive.

You shouldn't be angry for anything, rather you should be thankful for growing 1$ into 50$, what is really a great achievement. It's true your friend didn't keep his word, but after all you still ended with more money than you had at the beginning. As I see, you tried to do your best to help a friend by lending him 10$, and you ended being rewarded for that, not by him, but by something else which is beyond our comprehension. You may call it luck, fate, God or as you wish, just be thankful for having a good ending for your story.

Furthermore, there is one more lesson to learn from this: now you know what kind of friend he is, therefore you are aware you shouldn't lend money to him again futurely.
