As long as they don’t take this motivational quote literally then everything is fine. Gambling can be a bonding activity among friends. Making a few friendly bets in a group chat is something normal that a lot of people do and they don’t necessarily view it as gambling because you don’t risk anything significant. If it’s an activity you are doing outside of group chats then it is your responsibility to not let it become a harmful habit. It might feel compulsory but if your friends are reasonable people they will understand if you need to take a break for a while.
Gambling can very well be a bonding activity amongst friends. But the kind of friends could determine how safe you’ll indulge in the activity. People could take the motivational quote literally. They can even take it and use it to motivate themselves, cheering themselves in whenever they incur losses. And the type of friends you gamble with would either help pull you out of that notion or swim with you in the sea of misery that would lead to addiction.
The motivational quote may really seem harmless as people wouldn’t really go on and follow such an advice, right? Wrong. People would motivate themselves and justify their actions with just about anything.
Gambling is a form of entertainment people want to add some spice to the game reason to have wages, and if you are a responsible gambler you know your limits even if there's a friend with you sometimes having those friends who keep pushing you and get bad influence to lose more money, not all friends are there's to enjoy sometimes you just need to know who is you real friends are. Those suggestions and opinions came from the person might lead you in a wrong direction. Listen to people carefully who you trust with. Not all friends are there when you don't have any.
