Do you make bets with your friends?
What do you think about this experience ?

This is no real bet mate, I commonly do this kind of elastic bet with my friends and even after winning them on the bet, I will not want to take from the what was staked and if they win me too, they will not demand from the money I have staked. For example, I can tell my friend that Mr. Michael will not be in class as early as 8:30 AM and he will say am lying, then I will ask him let place a bet of $1 or $5 which he will agree with me but after the result of such bet is known, we don't demand the money that was staked from ourselves. It's just for fun and play, nothing more serious and that is just what you are explaining, it's not a real gambling.

This can only happen to some really good friends, especially if they are financially stable. Another reason is because the staked amount is only small. If all what we want is only to play for fun, it's better if we clear it out and not mention any amount because we don't know maybe some of our friends are hoping for it and once they win and we can not pay them, we can get in a serious trouble.

This will also be the cause for our friendship to get destroyed. Never tried this type of betting yet but only me and my friends are betting on the same team in sports betting. It's more fun because we also watch the live game all together and cheer with our favourite sports team.

Bets between friends are a bit of nonsense to me simply because as you said OP the money doesn't matter that much. You never expect a friend to pay much money and if they don't want to pay you just leave them be even if they had clearly lost.

If we have an argument with a friend, we just ask for a third opinion in our friends group and solve it this way. Money just adds a needless variable to this matter that should better just be a little simpler.

I think it's just a fun activity for you and your friends. the experience you describe is just for fun and no one will benefit from such a bet. Just do it with pleasure and harmony with your friends. but that is not something that is a real bet in gambling.

I personally wouldn't do something like that with my friends. maybe there will be such a conversation but it's just empty talk.
if I want to gamble then I will go to the casino and that will be more fun for me.

It's funny how much gambling is in your relationship and that it solves any disagreements that you may have together. It's just not going to win but it must be fun.

I do make bets with friends but jokingly, not serious about which you would pay unless specifically talked about with the amount. If it's a plausible amount, it's going to push through but if not, it's probably just a joke between the two of us.

I didn't happen to see a reason why you called your friend "stupid" in the title of your thread because nowhere in your story he did do anything stupid or show any stupidity.

What you and your friend do is something that happens in most of the friend circles, in my opinion. When friends are together, there are discussions, arguments, debates, and often bets made on things where two friends have different thoughts and opinions on something, and sometimes those bets are on very useless things, lol.

We often used to make bets on games that we used to play, most of the time it used to be pool/snooker games because it used to be a very competitive game for us friends and we would often compete with each other making bets who would win.

or the winner returns the money to the loser, as we realize very well that none of us can take the other’s money.

What you are doing is not gambling, it is emotion that is leading you too

Gambling with your friend is always like that, that after the other person lose you will return the money back to them. Friends that are close don't stake their money against the other because they see themselves as one or do someone gamble with themselves? The answer is no and that is the basis of the emotion attached to gambling with your friend. It is always not a serious gambling but emotional based. Friends do that sometimes to only prove that they know and understand what they are saying. However, friends that are not very close do gamble for the real gambling itself and even fight on the spot of gambling.

It's hardly worth making a bet with a friend. Of course, you can bet on a small, even symbolic amount or, for example, on drinks and food, or on a trip to a restaurant. Let's say the loser pays. But you need to understand that they are friends for that reason, that there can be no commercial relations with them. Commercial relationships destroy both friendships and family ties. You can place bets in sports betting. When you place a bet, you are making a bet with a casino or bookmaker. You hope to get maximum profit. When playing against a friend, you cannot want to get the maximum win, because this will destroy your friendship.

Sounds like a pretty good relationship tbh. It's a pretty interesting relationship since there's always some sort of dynamic between the two of you since there's bound to be both a winner/loser between the two of you. Sadly I don't think it's a gamble most people here would be familiar with since we bet with money, and you guys kind of bet on who pays instead. Almost similar to how we gamble with casinos, but the keyword is almost and that part where it differs has a pretty big impact imo.

I have made bets with my friends before though and similar to OP, it's sometimes payments, sometimes dares, and sometimes money itself. Not that often, but can definitely be a topic a couple of times in the future when we look back.

Yes, I also answer such questions because it's always a good thing to share your opinion/experience with the ones who haven't done something like that. I have personally never did such type of betting and I won't do it either in future but those who are going to do it should understand that it could be either fun or it could affect someone's friendship.

Sometimes if they happened to visit me at my house. But I do practice deciding on my own most of the time. Reason? I don't want to have feelings of regrets when it comes in gambling because it could trigger a drive in me to make up with the losing bet (assuming that there will be since we won't be able to guarantee winning). When money is involved, it is a normal response for someone to be more logical and more practical especially on times losing is something that has a possibility to take place.

Quote from: SamReomo on April 12, 2024, 06:37:49 PM

I think I have seen a similar nature thread a few weeks ago and now seeing it once again. I have never made such bets with my friends personally but it could be a quite fun way for many people. Especially for the ones who are students without job or earning. The winner can enjoy the food/drinks/other items which loser gives him as a treat.

Thought I'd be the only one to notice. However, I still chose to answer these question 'coz in such way I am learning to care for other people especially those who are unaware of the cons of doing so. To those who are still aiming or those which are interested to bet in such way, and to be entertained, you guys should just watch the game and enjoy things on your own.

The confidence is mostly what result to such bets. When you are sure about what you are saying and already before hand have researched on that very topic,mehnn you will be so confident that you will place a bet without thinking twice because you know what you are saying.

I have bet with my friends not once, and is appealing because it them believe and ready to learn, at times they are so annoying when you try to prove points but once bet is involved and you won, they behave like a child being flogged and is ready to listen.

This shouldn't be practice in all situation as the result might lead to a fight, quarrel and other possible danger speaking from experience. Know and understand the friend before you place your bets.

Well, although what you do is not bad, because sometimes things don't go the way you want

This is what I've been meditating when I lose on a good bet. We followed our intuition and analysis and it feels like it's 100% on our side yet still loses. So instead of beating up myself and ruining up my psyche, I would think of the other side of the coin which is "If it turns out to be good, will that be a good decision.". And what's important to me is to make a good decision regardless of the result.

So with a heated discussion with a friend especially in gambling, Don't judge base on the result but in a matter of do your decisions are right?

It sounds like your debates and bets with your friend add a lot of excitement and a dynamic element to your friendship! Using bets as a playful way to conclude debates, especially over trivial matters, can indeed be a fun way to engage and challenge each other.

I think as long as these bets remain in good spirit and don’t lead to any serious disagreements or financial stress, it’s a great way to add an element of competition and entertainment to discussions.
It’s all about having fun and creating memorable moments together.

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 .

Do you make bets with your friends?

I think it’s fantastic that you both manage to keep things light and enjoyable, even when money briefly enters the equation. It sounds like you both have a good handle on snapping right back to fun mode, ensuring no one’s wallet feels too light at the end of the day. It’s the perfect mix of challenge and chuckle!

Do I make bets with my friends? Sometimes! And when we do, it’s all about the laughs, not the cash. Whether it’s daring someone to sing karaoke or guessing the next plot twist in a TV series, it’s all in good fun.

Your betting tradition? It sounds like a great way to keep the stakes exciting but friendly. Just the kind of spice that keeps a friendship interesting! Keep enjoying those debates and may the best debater win… or at least get a free dinner out of it! Grin

You don't know what gambling or betting is all about and from what you wrote it pourly off topics and at smthe same time invaluable because I what you said is anything close to being true which I doubt because I can't Imagine grown up forks engaging in such worthless and thoughtless way of discussion to call a bet.

It's quite funny and sarcastic!

Always, especially in sports me and my friends are a very fan of basketball and we also like ti play basketball sometimes when there's an NBA match or league we always do betting on which team will win each matches and it was fun doing betting with them and also when we are playing basketball sometimes we want to play with other people, we will go to other places just to play basketball and bet with our opponent, that the winner team will take the money and sometimes among friends we also play basketball and stake a bet, even though betting is bad for the others but if you will do it with your friends then it was fun and entertaining so there's nothing wrong with that, as long as you know your limits and you will not argue, of course sometimes it can't be avoided but we will not exchange our friendships just because of argument in money.

Betting with your friends is some of the best bets. It keeps the money in your circle. What's better than bragging rights over your good buddy. And honestly since the house always skews the odds, you get way better odds playing against each other than the house. Makes for a good entertaining night as long as you can keep it low enough where it doesn't hurt anyone.

If the goal is to enjoy and hangout, then why not for me. But if it is to make money, the scenario may end up with blaming each other or unfocused bets with lack of analysis. Halving friends with you also helps as one who is accountable with your actions. They may help you monitor your behaviour and actions that most of the time may lead to impulsive decision so that helps a lot.

At one point in our life, we will encounter this kind of individuals who become our friend. And so from my experience, this is just normal. There are games that I will play with them, not sure if everyone is familiar with Mahjong and sometime we will argue about certain rules or if I found that he is cheating.

But at the end of the day, even if you shout and curse some words, you are still friends and go and move forward to have another gambling session with them and it could be the same outcome, LOL. And sometimes our close neighbors will think that we are in a heated argument and they are all surprise that when we come out, we're all happy and joking around. Grin

I have a friend and we both approach this kind of scenario with a sense of humor and camaraderie, rather than letting it become a source of tension or conflict.

I do enjoy friendly competitions and challenges with friends. Whether it's playing games, debating different viewpoints, or simply trying out new activities together, these interactions deepen our bonds and make for memorable experiences.

What I find particularly interesting about your experience is how you handle the outcome of the bets, especially when it involves money. The value lies more in the exchange itself and the enjoyment of the process rather than any material gain. That speaks volumes about the strength of your friendship and the mutual respect you have for each other.
