Have you ever been in the situation of asking your friend (s) to go down with you on a P2P gambling just between you as friends?
This happens especially on the cards, Chess and the other skill-based gambling.
I came across friends fighting throwing words at each other one was expressing his disappointments at his other friend while the other was mocking at him.
It was discovered that the one mocking the other asked the other one to step on let them gamble on a P2P and on the process the one being mocked lost all his funds for the other guy. And he has been asking the guy that won the crown to return him return about 30% out of the $190 lost but the other guy told him that there is no return and no compensations in the gamble so if he must give him back some returns it would be based on his own will.
Guess what, after all he ended up returning $10 to his friend.
So I ask, did the friend do well in returning $10 to his friend or the returned $10 was not enough?
To me, in general, that seems wickedness of gambling between friends on a P2P because such friends are not worthy to be trusted considering the sentiments in playing to win.
I would say that is a daylight extortions amongst each others.
Playing cards games with my siblings during the holidays and also chess but this last game is not my favorite because I don't really like it.
Card games played with friends or close people will be fun if they have the same goal, namely to have fun, not because they want to make money or show skill in card games, and on the contrary, it will become an argument if the goal of fun changes and can even become hostility.
Another thing that can be obtained when playing P2P gambling is that we can communicate with each other and have fun, but unfortunately currently digitalization is changing many things, including gambling, but this type of P2P gambling is still often found in rural areas, which I saw when I was visiting someone in the village.
And regarding the case you mentioned, it is better to play only with very small money like I did with my siblings, and also make an agreement regarding maximum profits or other things so as not to damage friendships because they are feel unhappy with what happens in gambling.
However, if someone cannot accept losing, they should not be invited to play again because such people are not responsible gamblers and understand the risks involved in gambling.
