We should ready to accept our winnings and losses made in the system. We have no authoritative power over the system, so we can afford to record losses but we should always ensure our winnings ratio surpassed our loss. I've decided to stay on my own lane because I've found out about my friends, they will ensure you're broke and tends to used the money for budgets to gamble. Gambling is one of the risks to take in the realistic world, I'll not encourage or advise anyone close to me to gamble, it's not a smart decision, trust me. You will live up to regrets the huge losses that follows.

No, I don't do any bets anymore with my friends. I've got a lot of them before but when I've moved and started to lie low on them because most of them does nothing but only to gamble.

The influence that they can give me is on all time high and that's why I've decided not to do anything with them anymore except to play online games.

It was fun until I've noticed that it's no longer doing me good because that's all what they wanna do when I've got plans for myself and my family while them, they'd influence you to just keep on gambling with them and it's just winning and losing so there's actually not a lot of wins at all.

I have a friend, although we get along very well, sometimes you find us getting into heated discussions, and I do not consider this a misunderstanding ,each one has a different point of view than the other on some topics, and this is what makes talking to him very interesting, by looking the huge amount of informations that we get on it, whether on his part or on my part.

But sometimes the provocation can be justifiable because why would someone place a bet with you if they know they wouldn’t keep to their side of the bargain. Some people try to act smart and would not want to pay you when you win them, however, when they are the ones winning, they’ll cause a fight if it came down it.

When some people lose money in online betting, you could see anger in them and transfer of aggression but because they can't show that to the house or owner of the casino, they put it all on the family and people at home . So likewise those kind of people gambling against their friends, they will of course show that anger and envy that their friends have taken their money so any slightest provocation or exchange of words can lead into a fight. Very many times I have seen where friends fought after gambling and the cause is usually that one party refused to continue playing because he has more profit and wants to run off with it by not risking in more playing time not to fall into losing what he has and that makes the other losing party annoyed to insist on continuation so that he could have more chance to win back his loses.

Hi ,

I have a friend, although we get along very well, sometimes you find us getting into heated discussions, and I do not consider this a misunderstanding ,each one has a different point of view than the other on some topics, and this is what makes talking to him very interesting, by looking the huge amount of informations that we get on it, whether on his part or on my part.

But we always end the debates by making a bet, knowing that he is not a gambler, and the informations he has about gambling comes to him through me, and he realizes very well that if he enters into a bet with me, I will take his money, but when he is confident in what he says, you find him the first to present the idea and on his own terms.

While betting become  the only solution to our discussions sometimes you find us betting on trivial and meaningless things, and with regard to the profit from those bets, it is simple for example : on the restaurant bill, where the loser invites the winner to dinner and pays, but sometimes when we bet With money, there is no winner among us, and you find that one of us turns against the other, or the winner returns the money to the loser, as we realize very well that none of us can take the other’s money.

Bets with him are always great entertainment and I always have good times and funny moments .

Friends can laugh at betting. Competition is part of the best friendships, right? It can get messy even with food on the queue, as I've witnessed before. Understand, its mindset, not money. Even without realising it, you look at your friend differently. Your situation sounds fantastic. Sounds like a friendly competition over who's buying. The best friendships, the ones that last? Not who won the Super Bowl bet. The fact that you sometimes tear up the bet and give the money back indicates you're sensible. Not taking things too seriously is respect. Continue that and you'll always be steady, win or lose.

It is just a friendly game between them and that explains why they don't go home with each other's money even when a winner is declared, the fact that they can bet on anything tells that it is all for fun and nothing serious attached to it. The challenge, lousiness, pride and boasts are simply the love language that binds their friendship together. I am not a frequent gambler but most times, I gambler in groups with friends.  Monies are not always involved most times but the fun and entertainment we enjoy while gambling is worth the time spent. Gambling is not all about money most times.

What a story! All I can say is that you guys are not serious, I can't be betting with friends and not collect my money. I am even stricter in that regard and must have ensured that the money has been technically escrowed in the hands of a trusted third party that will only deliver it to the winner. This is so because I always like it to be a deterrent to those people who are too lousy and mouthed about their beliefs. There are some people that can't even argue reasonably and constructively, you can't have a good discussion with them without leading to arguments. These people annoy me so much and I am now taking it upon myself to do as much as possible to stay away from them to avoid unnecessary shouting and annoyance, especially if they are too perfect in their views. If such people are the ones I challenged into betting, oh boy, they should forget that money, I will not even flinch or pity them in any way.

As for your questions, of course, I do bets with friends and family members on friendly notes. And you can refer to the above opinion for the answer to the other question.

I make bets with friends too, but I stopped it when it has to do with money or any material thing because I realize that it ends in disputes just like you said that sometimes one person turns on the other person. It’s a good thing to argue with friends and even better with them, but if possible don’t do it with money. It’s always fun when you figure who’s right.
