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.

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

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.
