Topic: Making bets with my stupid friend - page 4. (Read 488 times)

I do, from time to time. My most recent experience about this kind of situation with a friend was the EFL cup final between Liverpool and Chelsea. Being a Liverpool fan, I was of the opinion that Liverpool would win the tie but my friend thought his team would win so we entered took a bet against each other. There are other experiences — this was the most recent.


It's a completely normal one. Most times, it's even fun and can score you some bragging rights if you're lucky enough to emerge the winner. As with all bets/gambles, one should only enter into a bet with an amount they'd lose without problems.

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.

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.

Well, although what you do is not bad, because sometimes things don't go the way you want, but what you do is gamble and it's a healthy option to do so It's not bad, it's bad when you try to take advantage of a person, that's bad, So in view of that, why don't you start Talking about sporting events, for Example, UCL or Bundesliga match , or some other football league with it ? And do you agree that you both contribute money and make a good bet? That's not bad, if they win well, if they lose then there will be other opportunities, I Consider that this type of thing is much better than taking your friend's money, because I see it as a way to take advantage of their Ignorance and take Advantage of People who don't. It's okay, then over time life will take its toll on you.

Yes, that's what I did with my friends at that time, often when we get together we sometimes feel bored and when we find things that can be used as betting material that we didn't plan beforehand to use as betting material. And the aim is to create a fluid atmosphere and also become a topic of conversation so that warm but enjoyable discussions can occur.
And after some debate to determine which bets were legitimate, we deposited a few dollars to collect. And we just have to wait a few minutes to guess the result and determine the winner and after that one of us who wins will get money and whoever gets it will be used to treat us to a meal together, and 25% for the winner. But sometimes whoever wins will spend it all so that everyone loses the same amount of betting money.
And we will miss these things when everything has changed because of being busy and starting a family, because that is part of the fun moments.

When we used to watch NBA together at home yes we bet each other but not really that much. Just $1 and after that I sometimes will not pay but they will just keep in mind that I owe them $1. The next time I lose, we're even.  My closest friend sometimes bets with me about any sport we watch, still, we are not paying each other but just an I owe you.

The only time I could remember we paid each other was when we bought 6 packs, 3 for each of us and we'll bet on basketball for who will grill the fish and the pork.

i read your whole story, the title should have been different, you are not betting with a stupid friend but more precisely you are betting together with your best friend

when i was at school, i had a friend who i always invited to make bets together, just like you and your friends, we also always argued to determine choices and often when we lost, we even laughed and didn't blame each other, but now i don't have friends like that again, each of them is more concerned with doing their respective jobs and taking care of their families, i really want to go back to those days ^{(gambling and betting together with close friends)}

I do make little bets with my buddies now and again, but not too much.  I'm pretty competitive so I don't wanna make things awkward if one of us keeps takin' the other guys cash all the time. We normally keep it fun - like guessin' who'll win game night or somethin' dumb like that.   

This whole thing's weird though.  You said your buddy doesn't gamble much, but he keeps makin' these bets with you anyway.  Hes gotta know you'll take his cash more often than not.  Makes no sense why he'd keep bettin' if he dont like to gamble. And the money stuff is confusing too.  If the cash ain't the point, then what is? Just the thrill of it?

This is off-topic.

I can argue with my friends but not to the extent of betting. We argue and search about what we are arguing about online to know who is right and we learn more with that.

The times I remember that I gamble with friends were when we were together, login on our online gambling site and have fun by gambling online. Also another time is when we are on land based gambling places together but this is not common like we are gambling online 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 .
