As far as gambling goes, in my experience, most of the time relationships distract you from gambling the way you usually like to. Although I am not a strong believer in strategies or anything like that. But at the same time, I think having friends and family relationships is very important to keep yourself distracted by other things than gambling. Being alone makes you lonely and bored and you tend to gamble more often in such a state. That might be a dangerous path to a silent addiction. Also, having the wrong friends can have the opposite effect. So choose the people you surround yourself with carefully.

So far, I would say my gambling experience is a lonely one, because I am a casual gambler and when it comes the time to gamble, most of the time there is nobody around me or in social media who would offer me advice or codes for me to take advantage of.
It is rather a consequence of the context in which I am immersed in, most of the people I consider my friends are in a situation where they cannot afford to lose an important amount of money so easily, so they rather to use other means of entertainment to burn their time: play video games, practice some sports, swim in the pool and stuff like that, which do not involve any risk to their savings or the little money they have for leisure.

Actually, since they realized I am a user of online casinos they have sent a couple of memes making fun of gamblers to me, since most of gamblers (as we know) lose their money. I don't find it offensive, but rather funny.

Gambling alone gave you the best shot at winning. Which is the second option where you have to do the analysis and strategies yourself than depending on others to do it off you. If they have the wrong codes you also lose and more often than not those codes cannot be trusted. How do you even trust to best on a code from another person? It is a very poor risk management strategy.

For the entirety of time I've been gambling so far, I've been a loner with my gambling activities, strategy and decisions, and this is not because I don't have friends who will or can share betting tips, code with me if I want it, but to be honest with you, I personally like to bet on my on personal convictions, decisions and so on so as not to have any one to blame when I lose.

And besides, this days, it hard to come acrossd friends who will not be wanting to be settled if paradventure they give you a game code which you played and won, they immediately want you to share the money with them, and if you don't, this could be the reason why you guys will start having rifts which could end up even leading to a physical fight and separation. I don't like starting what I know I cannot finish, gambling, betting has never been a source of income for me and I pray it never does, so I don't see reasons why I did take it so serious to be wanting help from friends.

I think relationships can help and hurt gambling at the same time. Friends might give tips or share advice, but they can also pressure you to bet more. Being alone can make you bored and gamble more just to feel something.
It's best to have support from people who want you to stay in control.

I think associating with people who are good at gambling is a good thing, not only you can acquire and know their ways on how to win on gambling, this people are committed to win and not just, want to have fun, but if you are alone, there are things you need to learn first without any help and on the process resulting to a loss, but if you are always aware and is keen to details that is an advantage, but i would prefer having other people around but, still you have to decided on your own of course they are just their as guide, so that there is no blaming.

I see no problem staying in the midst of other gamblers to gamble. You know why? because most of them are gambling responsibly. If you are in the midst of people who knows the rules in gambling and abide to it, you will easily be influenced positively. We ought to know the type of gamblers they are before agreeing to sit next to them. Yeah you might even get lucky to win, especially when you guys share ideas, check flaws and try to collect them. You may never know a new things awaits you until you find out.

I most times gamble alone. But in few cases, I have had discussions with guys in my neighbourhood concerning sports betting and we discuss odds and teams who have the higher chances of winning. We share ideas, agree and disagree. At the end, I reach a decision base on all the judgements and I place my bet.

To be honest, there is really no difference between when I play alone and when I follow the recommendations of my guys. Some days I win and other days I lose. It's just thesame and nothing extra. Just that the later is more fun and lively.

You see that gambling with a group of friends who will combine and come up with some game which they will want everyone to place bet on base on how sure they might be off the game or how they might have gotten it from a group or channel they somehow trust influence how much some people might end up gambling and it will increase their activities and involvement in gambling above what it should have been, aside from aid to aid help to improve prediction skill I prefer to gamble indor on my own without involving my friends in it so that I don't have to blame anyone that they persuaded me.

That's right - your pleasure is your own rules, not anyone else's.
Gambling is a fun form of play - but because many gamblers want to win, they will look for ways to increase their chances of winning, including relying on other people's strategies. The advice of friends or other fortune tellers can sometimes help - but I don't think relying on them consistently for gambling decisions is a good idea. Gambling isn't a way to make money consistently - but it is a fun way to lose and occasionally make money.

The best advice is; don't gamble for money, gamble for fun. Take your winnings as a bonus - this will keep you from getting caught in a vicious cycle of addiction. I practice it - it really works for me, you can apply it too.

Friends can't help in gambling, because they can't change the fact the house always win on long run. It's actually noxious to have friends helping you on gambling matters, and I say that based on personal experience, since I used to talk and exchange experiences with someone who was an active gambler.

He claimed for several times to have a working strategy which would ensure profit on long run, especially through dice bots, so I trusted him for a while and gave it a try as well. In the end, it always stopped working after a while, so after few situations of that kind, I reached the conclusion I shouldn't follow his experiments anymore.

Follow your own intuition, and be careful with advices and hints from others. They might not even know what is better for themselves, so how could they put you on the right track?

I believe that pooling of ideas together makes the best idea. Not single individual idea is better except for a collective idea.

If your friends are a close knit group and have expertise in gambling, you will often get the best codes for gambling that can guarantee you make profit if you use their codes.

However if your group of friends are noobs  without any expertise in gambling you shouldn't trust any booking codes that they share. You are better off on your own.

What I have know and come to realize is that, gambling shouldn't be done depending on anyone, since gambling is a game of risk and unpredictable outcome, we don't have anyone successful gambler so for that you can't depend on any one predictions or betting codes to bet on, you need to develop your own gambling skills that help you to do analysis of the games and to come out with a good prediction that can't at least give you some form of possible winnings.

In as much as I enjoy gambling or doing things with friends sometimes it depends on the type of friends one has however I like to gamble with associate because the benefits is that you sometimes run into guys who are better than you in gambling or analysis to predict the matches this reason is why I like to gamble with associates.

However, doing it alone allows you to focus and you can make good decisions on choice not being convinced by someone else or swayed by others.

I may have only listened a little to what my friends were saying at the beginning of my gambling journey and this distorted my vision of the situation, i.e. they indirectly influenced my final decision on the bet. Now I understand for sure that I don’t need advice from friends, I’m only ready to read forums or articles on how to improve the game, strategies and my emotional state to fight losses. Therefore, I’m not at all worried about being influenced by someone’s opinion on the bet today, I don’t even read articles from experts, because I understand how they benefit from it.

I've never relied on anyone when it comes to betting, I've always made my own decisions. Many friends often give me advice or share their strategies, and while I listen, I never actually follow them. For me, gambling is about the satisfaction that comes from decisions I make myself, not from someone else’s input.

In a way, it’s much more exciting to bet independently, without outside suggestions that might cloud your judgment or make you second guess yourself.

Are we talking about sports betting here or both sports betting and casino games? If casino games are also involved, I would say I don't believe in strategies when it comes to casino games because there are none. The ones people use are betting patterns but they have named them strategies which is wrong, because a strategy is like a plan, where you plan certain things, you do them accordingly, and that will give you an advantage, but in casino games, you can't do anything that can possibly give you an edge over the house, and you will always lose if you are unlucky no matter what strategy you are applying.

When it comes to sports betting, I would say I would mostly do better if I'm doing it on my own because I believe my knowledge. I only make bets when I know about the teams or players involved, and I know which side has more strength and hence a higher probability of winning the game. If that's not the case, I don't trust signals or anything like that, and I would rather not gamble than to make bets only based on such information.

I have been more of myself and confident when it comes from me than my friends, although I have friends who are not stingy of sharing what they have on there bet with there friends because some sees it as a strategy that they get corrections from seeing what there friends plays, although I sometimes wonder why some persons are not generous in given to another when it does not prevent the person from Winning if actually they were meant to win and besides is not like if they both win the gambling platform will be out of funds to pay them, so actually I'm not a perfect game predictor but i always share if a friend ask for it.

Most of my friends are not gamblers, and the few who are  and who aren't that close to me I still believe I'm better than them when it comes to predictions of football. Some of them even ask me for prediction codes, despite the fact that I'm not a regular gambler.But the truth is, even if I later have friends who are gamblers and better than me at making predictions, I would hardly ask them to share their codes with me. Instead, I’d just ask them questions  like what they think about certain matches because once someone starts sharing their codes with you, they often expect some form of appreciation when you win.So, I prefer to make my own predictions and gamble the way I always have  in secret. Whether I win or lose, I usually keep it to myself. It's always hard for people to even know.

a. It is fun and it's easier but not at all times you'll get to be with our friends. I've been in a circle who have bet for some certain sports and shares some bets, they don't reveal the strategy but it's just like copy betting. If the bet we copy lose, everyone losses.
b. I think that I'm on this one. While I don't have any grudge on betting groups that I have been with because it's all fun and chat but I want to be alone and not that much with wits but there is no one to blame if I lose but myself only.
