Topic: Will you put money together with friends to bet on sports games? - page 9. (Read 1428 times)

I wouldn't call it a scam but if there are so many bettors involved already, if it just 2 or 3, maybe I will join specially if I know those guys. But 5 or more and then majority is unknown to me, I would rather bet alone and see how it goes. If the team wins, then no regrets for me for not joining their group and I will be happy for them. At least at the end of the day, I will stick with my decision no matter what the result will be. And who knows, worst case scenario is this so called collaborative gamblers pooling their money all together might have arguments or discussions in the end and it might not be good for you if you have join them.

This has been our usual for I and my friends at most times, we don't only put money we also contribute games, we mandate our selves to bring our best picks for the week with specific odds from each of us for instance games that will generate 2 or 3 odds each, after which we will also contribute money, it is another wonderful strategy as those games are coming from our best picks although we don't get lucky all the but at most times we have win more than loss. It usually hurt if  your game is the one that cause lost of the bet thou we don't have a penalty as we all understands   that there is no guarantee and it is only for fun with the money we can only afford to lose.

It can only be a scam when you do not have trustworthy friends. Although me I still do buy the idea when it comes to money I am not willing to do anything with anyone either a close friend or colleague unless an attorney is included in the deal. I have seen close friends even best friends turn enemies because of something like this.

If there is a general group for things like this the bet should be shared in the group and everyone in the group should bet on the game based on their financial strength so that when you win you have everything to yourself and when you lose you bear it all alone without getting to blame anyone. Combining with friends on a bet can only last for some time until trust begins to be broken gradually.

To be honest that way is interesting, because we will have a large capital to bet, but indeed the problem that may occur is when we get a win, especially true as you said, that when the money won is a large amount it will be problematic especially if any of our friends have a greedy nature, he will try to get more money than other friends even though at the beginning they set an agreement.

In the same way, everyone's mindset is different, some want to continue the game and some stop when they win and this can be a problem in friendship, that way is interesting but doesn't necessarily end well, I think it's better to fight for yourself using your own money rather than involving other people who have the potential to create problems in the future with friends or whoever it is.

The concept is quite interesting and I have personally done it with my real friends, each of us planned to bet on a football match with a total of $100 each and we also had the same favorite team so there was no need to discuss more because we knew where to bet at that time.

And yes our bet lost, and since then we don't do it anymore because it might be less fun, I myself feel much better betting with my own money, it feels much more free to bet, because in betting to find victory, no matter the favorite team or whatever, I prefer the team that has the potential to win much bigger even though my favorite team mealwan.

But if at that time we get a win, maybe I will take the same thing several times in the future with my friend, as well as in other games such as slots.

Investment or gambling or any other things that involves money and having that kind of combined funds then there's really those chances or probabilities on having conflicts due to possible situations that could happen knowing and just that everyone been saying on here is that on the moment that this one talks about money then temptation on running it away would really be there specially if a person is greedy
and with those bet amounts and the potential winnings would be making it big then tendency or odds is there.

It would really be just that fine that you would really be just that playing on your own without having those kind of basing up with other peoples pooled funds.
You could really be able to have that ease of mind on the moment that you do play solo rather than in groups.

Joint money on any return isn't a good idea, the instinct in me wouldn't allow me to merge money for investment not to talk of gambling as the end is not always good. There would be so many questions if I want to even try this. If people want to crowd fund gambling, whose person account are going to use and are there going to be an agreement before the games are played, you don't know who is going to pull terminator later that the account belongs to him and there was never an agreement.

If anyone is gambling and he feels he need my input, I will give them my honest opinion but I wound give them a single cent. If I want to bet, I know my account and where to deposit and the best gambling platform with good lower line, so I don't need to worry if I will win or not as the rest will depend on what the game is later play and if I win later, fine and if I don't then it's still fine.

I once had such an idea myself. When I was losing again and again. Then I planned this as part of my change of strategy but some of my friends agreed but others did not agree due to which I could not apply this strategy. Each person thinks differently in gambling, their thoughts are not similar to each other. If the sharing about money you heard is not a big amount then I think there will be no trouble between friends but if there is a big win then surely there can be problem. Because of which everyone tries not to get involved in any such betting.

I remember when you made a post for the World Cup in Qatar, if I'm not mistaken you posted a bet with some of your friends, correct me if I'm wrong. but apart from all that, actually ideas like what you say in this thread are a common thing. yeah, apart from the bad scenarios carried out by our friends as partners who cheat by taking the winnings or using any other method. quite interesting, if we do it with fun.  yeah, whatever budget we spend each person. Once again, this idea is just for fun with the prestigious football theme of the event. the current example, Euro 2024, thus, at least the bad scenario is easy to detect or less big than when we all target to win every betting session. besides, this idea must work in various ways. the point is, how to choose to bet, because everyone sometimes has different choices and views. so, there needs to be a scenario that becomes a strategy when betting. besides that, it is very important if your fellow friends have the same experience and understanding as we do about the sport you are interested in. especially, in terms of research and analysis.

Well, for me personally ideas like this are very fun. especially, when we watch together. the excitement will be multiplied by being attended by our friends, especially if we are given a win. it's just that, if I try to engage in this idea. First of all, the friend who asked me to join has the same understanding and preferences as me. thus, unnecessary conflicts can be anticipated. but in reality, betting for yourself on your own account is freer than involving many parties. apart from that I don't have to bother arguing with friends about betting choices, I won't get any pressure if I fail as predicted. however, if it's just for fun and the money collected is just for entertainment, then there's no harm in trying it.

Trust issues would really be the main problem on here on which we cant really just that trust up someone who would really be gathering those bet amounts on different people or friends and would be the ones that will be making out the bet. It would really be just that hard not to think about those probabilities that the winnings could really be that possibly be ran away and this is something that the nearest
possible thing that could really happen on which it would really be better that you should really be just that simply betting on your own rather than on tending to play or make bets together with friends.
If this one isnt really that an issue for you since you do only put a small amount of money and you do want to have that kind of socialization then it would really be just that on your own choice.

It a good idea though this way you guys would possibly win an increased amount of money, but the question now is, whose is going to have the bet placed on his bet account if it is to be placed online,  Secondly if it is to be placed offline who is going to hold the slip ,And lastly, since this is going to be a set off gamblers coming together to join their funds.  Therefore people that will be involved should be gamblers who can be trusted, because likely the division of funds in some cases might bring problem ,let's say you guys won huge amount of money someone might decide to cash out the money and run away with it.

If the amount won will be shared exactly in proportion of the amount brought, so why then everybody bet on the game individually at their respective casinos? While they collectively analyze and share knowledge as team on the best football prediction tips for the current Euro 2024 football games. Because if I was to find myself in such scenario, that's exactly what I would have done, rather than adding money together just to gamble on same game on a casino. Because such idea would only have been valid if casinos were allowing only larger amounts for betting (i.e $10), where they contribute money to makwe up to $10+ for the betting, and now where you can find many casinos that accept as little as $1 for deposit and Sport betting on both Local and international gambling websites.

Betting by pooling money with friends will certainly be the same choice, about choosing team A or choosing team B. Because basically betting in such a collective way of course must have an agreement in advance to bet on the A or B team. Because of course, if the choice is different then betting by collecting money like that will not be able to happen. But indeed, even if a group is determined to make the same choice, it will at least be fun to bet a small amount of money to become a lot when winning. Because after all, if they bet a large amount and when they win it becomes even larger, then worries about betrayal might occur even though the group is basically friends.

Not exactly like that. Some time ago I remember betting on football pools, which is not exactly sports betting but by pooling more money you could place more bets and it gave you a better chance of winning something. But they are also more spread out. I did it for a while with friends and little by little we lost interest.

Well, that is unfortunate, you need to find friends or even a colleague thag you know that doesnt have a problem when it comes to money, I mean those people who wjll not be shined and be greedy when it comes to money, I have a group of friends since high school and one of our bonding is playing basketball, and as we do basketball we also like to watch basketball leagues and one of the leagues we always watch is NBA and because of that we also do betting, even without using betting platform or apps, we bet for ourselves, we always do betting when there is a game or the finals game in NBA and so far we are doing that many years and there are no problems encountered, like someone doesnt want to pay or someone become angry becaude they have loses, so you just need to find someone that you could bet on and you could trust.

for me it's not a bad idea but all that matters it's understanding and trust, you guys can join together and win a very big huge amount of money and the sweet part is that money can be shared equally. But what I'll advise you is that let nobody's money should be higher then any, with that there'll be no tough time when it comes out winning. What makes it interesting is that there's one major amount someone really wanted to cash out in gambling but you don't have the higher amount of staking towards it, and this opportunity comes up the first thing that'll come to your mind is that figure you've been dieing for and with the process. It's someone you can trust and understand how his lifestyle is so for me it's not a bad idea at all, if eventually the game came out winning or on the process when staking the ticket should be at the bet shop. Non of you should hold it so that their won't be no trouble between each other's. That's my opinion.

If the bet is not too big, I will try it and lets the "expert" in that group decides what team we will choose. After all, that's just a small money for me but if the bet is big and I thinks that I can't afford that money because the chance to wins is not too big, I will not join with them.

If you wants to join with them, you must make sure that you knows all of those people and knows where they lived so if something wrong with one of you, you knows where you can find that person. That concepts is a good one because you and your friends can place a big bet for one match and if some people can analyze the team that have big chance to win, you don't have to analyze and lets them to choose the team.

You don't have to makes your busy by analyzing the match because you have your friends do that things for you. You only needs to waits for the outcomes. Nothing to lose for you because you can do other things while you don't have to analyze the match.

Well is totally not a bad idea because I have seen and heard from individuals who decided to form a gambling group were each person will be given a task to go out and source for a game that has higher chance of wining and at the end of the day they will come together to evaluate the ones that has more chances of winning and from there they will decide on the certain amount each person will contribute, is actually good but if we reason it in different perspective it could sometimes have a negative outcome such as issues between them because the person that brought the higher game will always want to have a larger share than the rest, so to be on a safer side gambling alone is actually the best because nobody will disturb you in anyway.

As long as I know about gambling, I have never done this by collecting money with friends and putting it into gambling to bet on. At first glance, I have planned it but this doesn't always happen for some reason, because when there is a plan like that, what happens is that we still gamble. with each. What you say is right, we have to be able to look around and if our friends really like to gamble, I myself won't participate because I don't want to become a serious addict. As much as possible, I will avoid things that can trigger addiction, because even though I have self-control to be able to gamble wisely, I can lose control over encouragement from friends around me who can make me interested in continuing to gamble.

Even though we like to gamble, in my opinion it doesn't mean we have to join a group that is very serious about gambling. I have had experiences where I have gathered with people who are heavy gamblers, but now I no longer have a strong attraction to gambling. ignored them even though I joined their group.

Nah, I know the behavior and attitude of my friends I mean they are good people but sometimes they are having this attitude that when it comes to money matter things will change and I don't want time will come that is the reason we fight, argue or has conflict and I don't want that to happen.
