Wins and losses are common in gambling. Losing a bet creates a lot of human stress for many gamblers because there are many gamblers who bet such money that they cannot afford to lose.

Some other gamblers after losing betting money they become depressed. Most of the time I have gambled alone and some times gambled with friends. There are some positive and negative aspects of gambling in these two situations. I feel a bit relaxed there when I participate in the same bet with my friends. Because even if I lose there, I get consolation seing from others. At the same time there are some differences of opinion before betting which sometimes creates confusion.

Have any of you had any such feelings?

Is there less human pressure if gambling is conducted in the same place with friends?

Who is to blame if you gamble with the money you can't afford to lose and still lose it? You, of course, that is why I do not pity those who are in this category, they brought the issue upon themselves out of their lack of wisdom. If they are wise, they would have to weigh the risk and the outcome well to know if they should proceed before ending in it. And if they proceed and lose, they should blame themselves.

Also, for me, I see no difference between gambling alone and with friends when it comes to feelings, it is my money, so I feel the same when I lose or gain. But one thing I can't trade for anything is my privacy. I like to do my things my way and mostly private, especially if that thing has to do with risk-taking. I've seen a friend blaming his fellow friend for his loss because he changed his prediction just because his friend predicted differently. This is one of the many I like to avoid in this regard.

Fine, a friends may contact me for my predictions, I can give him on a friendship level, but for us to be deliberating on which team to choose or not choose, I don't do that. It can cause more confusions especially if the friends are such that feels perfect and knows better. They may confuse you, and if you are such that can't be confused, they may just start unnecessary argument that is annoying. Why not do your thing yourself when you have all it takes?
