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?

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.

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?
What do you think about this experience  ?
 


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.

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.

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.
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.

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

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.
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.
