Topic: Making bets with my stupid friend - page 2. (Read 488 times)

Instead of solving your issue, you start a game of chance. Like a verbal coin flip? Does that help? Does it help you grasp each other's perspectives? Or does it temporarily ignore the issue? After the bet's adrenaline spike, what happens?

You also say winning doesn't matter and usually refund the money. Why bother if it's only for show? It's like betting on betting itself, not the outcome. What happens long-term? You and your friend have something good? Betting is like filtering your genuine communications. It can be easier to wager on who's correct than to investigate

It's actually very fun having this kind of games especially around certain kind of friends who we know for sure really gat us, when you play this kind of games with them, you get to see that even the bond between you people is even strengthen especially when it has to do with the fact that it gets entertaining and aswell as having to have meals together is another way of sharing bonds amongst gamblers and friends generally, i actually do gamble with friends but the fun in it is that it's usually quite different from that which is done at the casino as sometimes refunds can be made in situations where we see that the looser is almost stranded.

Although this applies to friends who share the same kind of view and mind set with you as some of our friends may not share same views with us and may not be willing to be involved in same things as this with such friends you look for other ways of bonding with them.

playing with friends is really fun and a nice eay for entertainment!
I like it a lot and when there are special bets (for example in the world cup of soccer) it's really exciting to follow the matches...not to mention the exotic bets...like goals of certain players, corners, cards and so on

and this is all!
Yes, since you play with friends just for fun the rest can lead to big losses and it is better to avoid un-necessary risks of money or you will Just waist Faith and time that you can earn money with these bets

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.

Friends who end arguments and discussions with a bet don't understand very well the concept of gambling. Arguments are not meant to trigger the anger of somebody else to the extent of wagering money. Those discussions lead to serious arguments because they don't closely relate to one another. Nothing special about meaningless arguments. Even though it appears meaningful, seeking for a prove is the right thing to do. Choosing gambling as a way to end the long overdue arguments can only make the loser get angrier. And when in that same gathering next time, he'd want to try again. Hence, that gathering of friends will continuously end in an argument. As everyone involved would want to win their lost money.

If Op isn't interested in such a friendship for tagging them as "stupid" I think he should avoid their company. A proper gambling circle does it with games, not arguments. Unless the game is in the argument, staking money on quarrels is inadmissible. Peers easily influence one another emotionally, and when the energy is weak and focused on brainless ideas, people in that circle of friends will get stuck exhibiting brainless behavior. By hanging out with irresponsible folks, one can't obtain a responsible attitude. I don't remember placing bets on arguments. It never gets directly to me, it's just an argument. I've seen people do it, but I have not seen people who spend time often betting on arguments.

If they can thinks like that, they will not playing gambling, even with their friends. That's why they must knows what will happens to them if they decides to involved with gambling so they will not easily playing gambling. If your friends can't accept anything from gambling, you should not gambling with your friends because that can triggers a situation that will makes both of you in an uncomfortable. But if your friends can accept anything from gambling and consider that will be the risks of playing gambling, that will not be a problem and even you and your friends will enjoy playing gambling together to spends your spare time. We must recognize the risks involved while we playing gambling with our friends because some people can easily ruins their friendship with their friends because of playing gambling together. So we must avoids that happens to us and with our friends.

Gambling is not for everyone, we should choose wisely and understand what we've signed up for and become contributing to the system. Perhaps our friends plays a major roles in our growth when it comes to gambling, be competent to leveled our strategies. Making reasonable friends will not be so hard these days. We know how compulsory it is for us to handle responsibilities in the system, be capable of acknowledging the risks involved.

right, so when it comes to choosing our friends, we should be choose where we have peace of mind and can respect our wishes and decisions. Because there are other friends who even though they know their friends will be in trouble, they will continue to do what they want just to justify what they want. As for gambling, no one should feel bad about what might happen because you only gambled to enjoy yourself, not to be a competitor.

It really does depend on what type of friend you are dealing with here. If he is indeed your real friend, no matter what you do, you won't feel stress about it but instead just have fun about it. You will just laugh about your mistakes and not get too hard on yourself if you or him did wrong about the bet. Not looking for any fault or mistake but just move on whatever the outcome of the bet is. You can rarely find such person. So better keep him, if you find one.

Money can destroy the relationship if you have other expectations, other than fun. In this case, you need to be clear with your friend regarding your target. Otherwise, you will really get into trouble with your friend if you are not seeing eye to eye here.

With gambling that we do with friends it will be more fun because, But never get too deep into the gambling place so that we don't lose too much. We have to keep control of the money we spend because by drinking and betting we sometimes forget that we have spent too much money. I'm often like that when it gets too deep then we have to go home immediately and settle the bills that need to be paid. Friendship is very important but money can sometimes destroy that relationship.

When I was in college, I had a friend where we always ate snacks or drinks from the bar at a pool table.
I think it's fun and these types of bets are healthy if the value is insignificant for the parties involved (it's money that won't be missed) and if it doesn't end up in discussion.
Otherwise, I don't think it's worth ruining a friendship over a bet if both of you aren't able to understand each other in the end.

My dad also likes to gamble on drinking at a card table with his friends, but that's about it....it never involves the question of "winning money", the reward of winning is just the fact that you get to drink or eat without spending anything.

This is the true spirit of a healthy bet: Having fun with friends without the goal being profit.

Exactly, things are always like that and for me when I have a defeat when I know I'm going to win, that affects me a lot, whether with a friend or with the stink house, for example with Liverpool it happened, I didn't know that They were going to have such a bad streak, and I was sure they were going to win, because Luis Diaz and Mo Salah were at full strength and suddenly they lost and they left them there, they took Luis out. Díaz, they added another player and the game was over, the game was in decline, this is something that affected me a lot Emotionally because I already see it difficult for Liverpool to recover, City is first, Arsenal is going there and Liverpool, which seemed to have a better path because it came out with something like that, Things can really go wrong if we don't see them from the right point of view, this time my analysis failed everything, and I'm still here and I don't know how they lost, because the strategy they had It went very well.

My friends are indeed into some stuff which we all could bet on, like sports like football, baseball, one of them is even into electronic sports like Dota or League of Legends.
But I personally prefer not to bet with friends (sharing wager) or against friends. One needs to have a special friendship which is supposed to be strong enough not to be shattered by betting and the results of matches for it to work. And I think I would appreciate more to keep a friendship untouched, instead of proving how much it can bear by starting to involve my friends into betting.

If it is for the sake of money and entertainment, one can always go for the usual markets in casinos and bookies, bet against other one does not know.

Just my two sats, anyways.

It sounds like you and your friend like we say are like 5 and 6. It is no stupid bets like you would think, it just makes your argument fun and exciting. I think you both just like to have fun. I do not so it always but I have sometime made these bets with very close friends.

Sometimes I lose and we laugh about it and have a bottle of two of our favorite drinks and vice versa. The wager is very minimal compared to what is offered in the bookies. Friends do this and its more about the building up their friendship that the bets.

The title of the topic is similar to the title of someone's comedy film.
We used to play cards with our friends, but most often we played not for money, but for desires. Because there was never any money, and secondly, when playing for money you can quickly lose friends
Now I don't do that with my friends. We do not bet on any events. But we do it a little differently. Sometimes we can argue about something and as a result, the one who wins gets, for example, a chocolate bar.
From my own experience, I can say that you have a good relationship and not every friend can bet money, even if you later return it and your game is purely entertaining. Probably a good friend

Ah, we sometimes do this too whenever we have something that we can't agree on, and the risked amount usually just goes towards something that we enjoy, i.e. drinks at a bar or food on the go. Idk, I never really took my friends' money when I win a bet against them, as I don't think it 'counts' as a real gamble. We just risk something in order to prove a point and that's it. Sometimes though, the conversations become a bit too much heated that bets no longer matter but rather who is right or wrong in the end.

Yes, betting with friends at school was in fact my first gambling experience. We had no money so we'd bet chewing gums and other sweets. We'd dare each other to do something and bet on whether they actually manage to do it. Then we'd start to play poker, first with sweets and drinks, then with real money, but very small, enough to buy a can of soda, then we'd even bet on who's going to do other people's homework. Fun times, believe me.

# Nope, im not really that fan on making bets with my friends neither physical or online gambling on which i do prefer on going solo because there's nothing much you've been thinking of.
#The thing i dont like on having together with other people or even with friends is that on potential conflict and arguments specially if you both does have that different choices
on which this might be leading up into some potential quarrel or possible trouble. Not all friends would really be that just the same.

Somewhat its not really that always be pertaining something like this,its true that there are ones who do really love on playing in together with their friends on which they do
really love the experience on having someone for them to be able to play on or make bets within.

That is good friends should be and gambling is not all about you are the most experienced but luck also follow. And according the story he got most gambling knowledge from you but when there are is arguments you guys always end with betting and in some cases nobody wins and indicate nobody is perfect in gambling. The inexperienced gambling friend argued with you and vet with you to be draw. Those arguments still happens in the children play ground whereby some are fans of Chelsea and other Arsenal and others. Also in the viewing centers. "This club will win others will say no, then let's bet". Those things are common. But it makes day interesting. Most of us are not doing those things again so like in some days are boring.

Well, that's will be a good moment between us and our friends and if you and your friends doesn't have a bad experience, that will be good to continue that experience. That will makes us feels close to them and we can share many things about them. I am not bet with friends as your experience but we gather and talks about many things without betting on debates because debates sometimes can makes relations becomes bad.

When we wants to bets together, maybe we will select football match and select our teams. The loser will buy food and drinks and we will spends nights together and that will be a good moments for us because we don't meet very often. That will gives fun for us and we wants to repeated it in the other days when we have free time.
