remembering one incident that happened last year where two friends put money together in a bet, bet won, amount was really huge, the other stole the ticket ran away and cashed the entire money from a very far place, leaving the other guy with nothing.

What do you guys think, is this concept or idea a good one? Will you accept such request?

If you don’t trust that friend, it is better to not risk your money with him while having many other choices to bet on that event. When you think about it wisely, betting alone with a single bet, or sharing the same bet with a huge amount among friends, the outcome for yourself will be the same, however, the risk of cashing out the profits is different. When you settle a bet all alone, in case your bet is a win, you will go and cash out your money in a very safe way. The only reason that shared bets exist are for more fun especially when you are watching that game or event.

Personally, I would rather set a bet alone, tell my friends about it, but I will never share my money with others to put a group bet. It is just a way to add more risk and possibly losing a friendship due to some money.

It is that simple, sometimes for the sake of fun people do something that just complicates things up, and while in the majority of the cases this is not a problem, whenever there is money involved we need to exercise as much caution as possible.

Because even if we are incapable to sacrifice our friendship over a few dollars, I have met several people that did exactly that, so you never know when you may encounter a person like that and that may steal the money you won together.

We know quite well that betting is not guaranteed or assured that there must be a positive turn up in gambling so I don't think that is very ideal for we to collaborate with the brother or a friend to participate in gambling, there is something that is very necessary and the very encouraging when you come to gambling from my own idea I think that gambling is something I have to do with the understanding and the wisdom so you don't have to join money together to bet because it will bring misunderstanding between you and the whosoever that you are collaborating with, it's good when you want gamble then you gamble alone without involving second and third party.

I'd still do it and risk it for fun. Making bets together is really entertaining and I wouldn't do it with random people but people I know and trust. Of course that trust could end if a million dollars was at stake, but I'd be OK even if I got scammed.

I think if it was 2 of us I'd keep the payment receipt and the friend would keep the slip, so that we'd both have a proof that we made the bet. It gets harder when there's 4 or 5 people chipping in, but in such situation you have 4 or 5 witnesses.

Will you put money together with friends to bet on sports games? I dont know outside my community, but here my friend usually put money together and play gamble just for fun, and if the final result is winning they just throw it the money to buy snack or other food cigarettes etc but when they losing they can laugh together hhaha

Your group was really having the fun of it, while in my own times, we were doing it for survival as students with no other source of income and tight schooling conditions, we bring 2 odds each and some funds together and stake with combined funds, we win most times which made us have good hope in it as we did it every weekend as a means of raising funds for our upkeep the coming week.

Having the leverage of doing that as a fun thing now is my desire, but unfortunately responsibilities and busy schedule wouldn't give me and the boys enough time for that sort of regular reconnection.

But im rarely watch people put all the money onto sport game atleast here in my friend they usually play slot and roulette

I love sport more right from time and that was the games we combined funds to stake, but everybody is different I guess and you go for what drives your interest the more for greater satisfaction.

Honestly, I rarely find a community like that. In my area, unfortunately, most of the gamblers are those who fail to manage their finances and have many problems in their lives. This is because they are addicted to gambling and think gambling can be a source of income for them. This is really a wrong concept of thinking. Gambling will waste your money and you will rarely win. At least that's what I know from my friends. They play slot gambling, and strangely they believe that there are certain patterns that give them constant wins when in fact they keep losing and spending more than half their monthly salary.

From what I understand gambling should be a personal thing and does not need putting funds together with friends to stake a bet for high profit or to limit losses. Because when it comes to money some people behave strange due to greed. Anything that will cause me from having issues with my friends will be avoided especially when it comes to money.

One should be contented with the little amount of money that he has to bet it because gambling is for fun and whatever that is the outcome should be fine by us only if we tend to gamble for profit. I prefer gambling privately which I do call solo gambling because it makes me feel better using online casinos.

Why not? Betting with friends is fun, especially when they are friends we have known for a long time, it will be quite a fun bet because whether you win or lose, you all share the feeling together - because I had previous experience betting on point blank tournaments with my high school friends, it was a very fun bet because we managed to win the bet. But yeah, again, we have to be able to trust that the person holding the bet is our friend who we have trusted to be able to hold the trust to handle the betting money and divide it fairly according to the portion of the betting money that we have previously shared.

But unfortunately, there will always be friends who betray because not everyone can keep their promises intact. Therefore, not all groups or friends are like your friends or circles, because there are many friends out there who take advantage of situations like this to take or take away money and with that, the risk is the destruction of friendship. But yes, it is very lucky if you still have friends like that, because of course doing bets together will be very fun. It doesn't matter about the result, because when we're with friends it makes us feel better.

Hi hommies..

So, just this morning, a close friend of mine approached me while we were in a small meeting with the power holding company that supplies electricity in my street( or rather, small community).

Knowing I usually bet on sports from time to time, he began discussing about sports events with me mostly centered on the current Euro 2024, discussion was interesting as i always enjoy discussions around football and all the arguments that goes with it 😁.

Along the line, he asked if I will be willing to join a group betting, I asked what group betting was, he told me it's just a group of guys like myself, coming together to join an agreed amount together to bet on chosen sports games, and if the bet wins, we take out the money with the profit and share it equally amongst ourselves.

It was an interesting idea to be honest, but I really was wondering if it was the right thing to do, remembering one incident that happened last year where two friends put money together in a bet, bet won, amount was really huge, the other stole the ticket ran away and cashed the entire money from a very far place, leaving the other guy with nothing.

If your friends can be trusted then there is no problem with doing a joint bet, in factiI think a joint bet creates a greater potential for winning than betting alone, so make sure who you join with and how trustworthy the person acting as the money collector is.
the current season is euro games and I don't miss betting on a single game but i bet alone, if i had a friend i could trust to "combine bet" maybe i would try it once in a while.

I can't think of any reason why would anybody do that ?
I get the gambling can be fun with friends but they can just meet and decide which side to bet on and then bet from their own respective accounts instead of betting together.
This way it would be safer and in control of themselves instead of trusting on a single person.

Yeah, we are in a modern eras and every gamblers have their own online account but when it comes to physical casino, there might be a time when 3 friends might not have the minimum amount to wager on a physical casino (even if the minimum is $1] they might consider the option of contributing a specific amount from each other so that the can afford the minimum wage for them to gamble. And if by any chance they are lucky they mill share the funds accordingly, that's why real friends do.

I can partner with my friends to go into an investment or cooperative if I don't have enough money to do the business or contribution on my own. If it is a business that I have enough funds to do, there is no reason to partner with any friend. Gambling is based on luck and I have the understand that it is better to gamble with the amount that I can afford to loose so I don't need a partnership to gamble. Gambling is not a business so it is not advisable to join money with anybody to gamble, I prefer solo risk when I gamble so that I alone will take the responsibilities if I loose. I don't see the fun in loosing in a group bet, blames might start to come up between the friends if they were dividend over the team to support and later lost, the group that didn't support the lost game will not be happy.

If that is a business, we can partner with our friends to create a new business and make a profit. But if that is gambling games, we don't have to place too much money with our friends because we don't know what is the result.
Playing gambling is not easy to wins even if we have friends that can analyzes better than us because gambling can not predicted. We can only join money with our friends with the money we can afford to lose so we don't regret it too much when we lose. We don't have to risks too bigger in gambling, whether with our friends or by ourselves.
It is better we use gambling for having fun and enjoy our time with our friends and not have a big hopes to wins the money. That will helps us to enjoy our time and stops when it is enough to gambling with them.

Gambling isnt about winning all the time. It relates to the excitement and exhilaration. Its about having fun with friends and a few laughs. The key is knowing your limits. One cannot gamble money one does not have. Thats just common sense. Its like anything in life: moderation is key. You have fun, but you resist letting it rule you.

I've seen too many people get caught up in the chase for the big win. They overlook the sheer delight of the game. They lose view of the relationships all around them. That is not the way you lead a happy life. Though only one aspect of life, gambling can be an enjoyable past time. Life is about balance. Its about discovering delight in every variety of experience it presents.

It's a good concept if you wish to have extra fun with friends while watching some games, I have done it many times... Usually with small money, each of us chooses a game or two for the parlay. We never won anything with those parlays, we were close so many times for one game or one goal on each side. That's why this is purely for fun, and we never risked a lot... we never gave more than $5 each. We had some wins only when we were betting on just one or two games max, but as I said it was with some small amounts... we had for a few beers and chips, and maybe some little money left for the next bets.

You are right, but still on the other hand, this can only be done with a friend that you really trust, this is if we are to remove that fact that you guys are just doing this for nothing else but fun.

If for example, your friend called you up and told you that he wants the both of you plus some other persons he wants to bring in; to be putting some reasonable amount of money together to bet on some selected sports game,, and he makes you understand that this time, it's no longer for fun but it's now serious business, would you still agree to such a proposal of request?, remember you don't know those other guys that are coming in.

For me though, like I've said before, it's OK to do this with a very tight friend, whom both of you trust each other very well.
But when this has moved away from it being just me and my best friend(s), then I think it's no longer acceptable if you ask me.

That's better.
I mean, there are many things that could happen if you do it with a group even with your friends. Money is a thing that could create chaos and sometimes this is where a person could change when he sees lots of money that he thinks might change his life.
Even the most trusted ones could betray you and it's gambling so expect something wrong that could happen especially if you all win your bet.
Who will handle the money? Who will receive the winnings when it's done? is he really a trusted one that would give back all your money including the profits?
Yeah, I'd rather be a lonewolf too than gamble with friends unless we are doing it individually in the same building.

Group betting is actually a very risky one or me because you can never be sure of the credibility of a person especially when it has to do with money, some persons can be very greedy at some points and you wouldn't believe how greedy and dubious one can turn to be once money is involved until it happens that they have finally show their attitude when the bulk money is in their possession to keep.

While it is risky, it's in your hands to make it potentially not that painful if you lose your bet or someone is running away with you money. Just an amount that you can afford to lose and that's it. I personally support betting together with friends, especially on sports events. Thus you can watch the games you placed your bets on together, and, depending on the bet, be rooting for a particular team to win or a draw, or a certain number of goals scored, stuff like that. It's fun and it makes your friendship even stronger.

What's the point of group betting? In the end, you get your share, so, just bet alone and you'll still get your share. Group betting might be beneficial if you don't want to open a casino account on your name and your friend has it and is willing to accept bet on your behalf or if he has a VIP account and get some premium benefits.
By the way, if so called friend steals money after a huge win, such a person has never been your friend. When I call person a friend (which I only call to a few), I would trust them and I know they won't rob me.

Group gambling does not appeal to me, especially as an introvert, it will just be a waste of energy, and I certainly understand the negative impact if group gambling occurs when expectations do not match what we get, yes some of the benefits as you mentioned can be considered, but I think it's better to use a personal casino account to do gambling than having to group money and bet.

Sometimes even a very close friend can have a brain if it's about money, especially money with a very large amount, he will always not care about his friend even though he is very trusted and has been in contact for a long time, but that's how money can make someone's eyes closed.

I don't think there is any significant advantage in group betting. For those who are hesitant to make a decision, group betting can offer some advantages. It can lead to a worse situation if everyone does not have the same rules when it comes to such betting. Therefore, before betting, the agreement or profit loss distribution must be clarified. Sometimes after a big win, greed can work between friends, which will create arguments in the future. Therefore, in any such work, one should take part in such betting activities by considering its good and bad aspects.
When a gambler loses repeatedly in gambling, such things may arise in his mind, but when the betting process begins, those thoughts will change.
