we can’t help but be competitive with our friends sometimes that we often challenge them into bets over literally anything it could be about watching sports or just betting on something to happen
sometimes we honor these bets and do give off what was the agreed upon reward/consequence but i have heard stories of friendships getting tainted because of betting
just like a few people i know; two men decided to play and bet on something and when one guy lost he didn’t want to pay the other one so the winner friend got mad and smashed his car
do you ever see yourself ruining a friendship if your friend didn’t honor said bet? or it’s really not that serious? who is at fault here, the friend who didn’t push through the bet because he lost? or the friend who got angry?

I can not be very stupid to something like this to a friend. All because he did not pay the amount. All because he did not pay for the bet, I should damage his car. I can not do that. That is bad. I will think he did not mean it and taking it not serious. I will prefer to forget about it. But that should be for a good friend. Not a stingy and selfish friend. I know the type of people I have as a friend. If his behavior is not good with mine, I stop being such person's friend.
Also if I really mean to bet with a friend, we eill give the money to someone before we would bet. If we did not do like that, that is not a bet.

I think people should stop this type of gambling because it seems that people are not obeying their gambling activity. As we know gambling is a game to win or lose but if they bet on something and the results comes out against them is it better to settle the winner than holding back the winning because you think is just your friend and nothing is happening. Something people don't take it likely and are serious with whatever they are doing, so to me it's better he settled, even though he got angry and smatch his car its a bet and not a game.

This is the more reason why some people don't get there friends and family into their business because it has broken allot of relationship because of not honoring each other based on the relationship that they have created with each other, in friendship what is needed to keep it alive and going is mutual respect and regard for each other as a brege in respect for each other will lead to the breakdown of the friendship. In this case the both of them are at fault as they didn't respect each other

Cases like this are very weird and annoying, it also destroy relationships, the best thing advisable to do is for us to maintain our friendship without involving gambling deal in it, while when we are interested in gambling, then we may have to risk our friendship we have with other people because there will always be a trespass no matter how, but when we maintain a particular boundary, things wont cross their path at the cause of achieving what we want.

I have had money affair experiences before, and learning from it, I would let go of bet, and just be cautious of doing any business with a guy who doesn't keep his word.
Escalating things does no good imo.
-
do you ever see yourself ruining a friendship if your friend didn’t honor said bet?
Would never do that. Personally, I understand the friends I keep, and I guess they also understand me as well. Anger management is something that I believe we as humans must have. I don't think I have any present relationship with someone who does not have what it takes to manage his/her anger.
who is at fault here, the friend who didn’t push through the bet because he lost? or the friend who got angry?
I think both of them are at fault. The guy who caused the damage is at fault because he failed to manage his anger, while the other guy that happens to be the victim is also at fault because the friend he his keeping has anger issues. IMO.

If a friend knows that they won't honor the said bets if they lose, why then bet with a friend? It is very stupid and unwise for anyone to have a bet with their friend and later not honor it. It's better not to bet than to test the patience and temperament of your friend because not everyone can let go of their bet wins for friendship to reign.
The guy who didn't fulfill his bet promises to his friend is at fault. He would have respected himself rather than betting with his friend. These issues wouldn't have arisen, if he had done that in the first place
-

It is really not that serious and friendship should be more than this. If a friend owes you money and you loose a bet to them and refuse paying, they will understand and probably just do the mathematics in their mind. If you have a bet with a friend and want to make sure that it is honored, get a third party to act as escrow so even when anybody looses, there will be no excuse or reason not to pay up.
-
Destroying property over a friendly bet? I don't know about you but where I am from, that is not something normal friends do. Yeah, maybe there can be some disappointment for one party causing some little rift in the friendship but it doesn't come to a point where it has to get physical.

the same reason we all bet: we hope that we are going to win obviously the friend was going to honor the bet only if he had won but since he lost he didn’t want to honor the bet anymore i honestly have a lot of friends that are sore losers but i don’t take it seriously nor personally so maybe this person i knew thought that his friend will do the same lol
maybe also it depends on level of friendship i mean i wouldn’t get that angry with a close friend we’ll probably just laugh about it or i will annoy them until they give me my winnings

There’s no reason he would smash his car over a small friendly bet. There must have been something significant that triggered his friend to do that. I don’t think a minor bet could cause such an extreme reaction. Personally, I’ve bet with friends before, but nothing like this has ever happened.

If a friend refuses to pay his friend after losing a bet, it is natural that that friend will be angry with him. This can cause quarrels or discord in friendship. If he didn't have enough money, he shouldn't have placed the bet. Again, since he has placed a bet by mistake, he should inform his friend that he does not have enough money or that he has made a mistake. Although money is not an issue among friends but instant excitement can lead to many untoward incidents. In this regard the person who loses the bet and fails to pay is entirely his own fault.
-
I witness friendship ruined over something they didn't even bet money on. There are just very sensitive discussions that friendship is not valued when it comes to their stance over political candidates.
Friendship tainted over sports betting is not rare anymore. There have been instances reported on TV where person stab the other for not paying the bet. Sad to see that life can sometimes just worth $1. ;D

Maybe it is because the money involved is not a small amount of money. But why the bet when both of them do not go have a mediator. What is called bet is when two or more people agreed to give someone money to make guesses on an outcome so that anyone that guess right will take the money. Betting will have terms and conditions. They did not bet at all but make promises. Someone can fail to fulfill a promise, unlike bet which is different. If small or huge amount of money is promised, it is not a bet.
-
Yeah this situation actually happened anywhere in the world with everybody's friends and here in my place one incident has ended up paying so dearly with his life because he refuse to pay the agreed amount of money that is placed on bets some other incidents leads to beating the same thing.

If you cannot understand one another, then your friendship is superficial. Real friends understand each other and have good communication, and they avoid any conflict that could ruin their friendship.
do you ever see yourself ruining a friendship if your friend didn’t honor said bet? or it’s really not that serious? who is at fault here, the friend who didn’t push through the bet because he lost? or the friend who got angry?
I will never ruin a friendship for something as petty as this. Both are at fault and their friendship is not that deep; they should have respected each other and talked it out Real friends will never quarrel in gambling, I would not want these kinds of friends.
-
I don't like betting with a friend to avoid having problems with them, because temptations are bound to happen in such bet since one will take the other for granted and will not abide to the rules in the long run. Friendship is better than gambling, so why ruin up a good friendship all in the name of gambling. Some people cannot watch another person walk away with their money when they are stronger than you.

You are right. Money can easily cause misunderstandings between friends. Humans can be tricky, and friends sometimes have a sense of entitlement. They believe he is my friend, so even if I lose, he will return my stake. As you mentioned, if their stake is not returned, it causes problems.
This is because the person who lost will begin to regard the other as a bad friend simply because he won and did not return the stake. He may not come forward to express his complaints and grievances, but he will begin to hold grudges and seek vengeance in other ways.

It depends on the kind of friends you have. If you see the bet as a friendly bet, then there should be no hard feelings because a bet is a bet, so watching the match with your friend will become more thrilling. The point is to make watching the match more exciting, not to stress over it, so there shouldn’t be any bad vibes between friends. Win or lose, it’s all about enjoying the moment together.
-
Indeed, it depends on what kind of friends you are. If you know that your friend is impulsive, reckless, aggressive or vindictice, then it is better not to gamble with him. But as long as you both know when it is to stop (meaning know when competition is about to turn into war), I see nothing bad in gambling with or against friend. As long as both of you gamble for fun (and even for money in some cases), you two are good to do whatever you want.
-
I heard such stories from people I know and also from some friends but never witnessed those serious disagreement in real. Generally they don't bet against each other, they will take the bet together against others which is what they usually do.
In case if that happens then it should be honoured to keep the relationship and my opinion never do that, money and relationship never get along.

Often people say that “if you want to lose a friend - borrow him money”, I can chance that into “significant money related situation can end any friendship”. Until bets are low, friends are friends and dont bother about gambling. But as soon as bet becomes large, everyone is on his own. From that - gambling with a friend is ok when bets are low. I had been gambling with friends in past quie often. It was fun Friday games with low bets. Since then, everyone are still friends.

make gambling with friends as one of the entertainment, at least that's what I do. Usually I gamble with them to make jokes when one of us loses, it could be me who loses and it could be my friend who loses.
In addition, we usually enjoy the winnings together. Maybe it's more appropriate if we just treat them, because we can enjoy our money back. In fact, that might make our friendship closer.

A bet with a friend can be done for fun but if there is any financial motive and trying to make money then such a bet should not be done. This can cause a rift in friendship. Money can be regained anytime but it is hard to find when friendship is lost. Moreover, one of the biggest problems in friendship is money. So bets can be placed for fun. There may be a small amount of money that can be put aside for a treat but betting for financial gain should be avoided.
-
That is bullshit. A friendly play or game should be a fun if really they are friends and not to damage his friend car. That shows that the friend was envy about his friend's properties. I normally play bet with my friends. Sometimes I didn't pay him the money if he wins or we use it to buy something and we all eat it. Though that is not a serious gambling but just for playing shake to pass time. But I don't like to bet with them seriously because anything concerning money is not good with two friends.
There are two things that can spoil friendship. Woman and money. Avoid your friend's girlfriend and his wife. And don't borrow money to your friend if you know that he won't pay back on the agreed time and that will lead to dispute between you guys. What the friend did was not good but what the other friend did was not good as well.
-
It is important to know who you call a friend. When you know your friend well, you can avoid certain problems because you know what causes misunderstandings. Some friends can be very controversial, and if you place a bet with one of them, they will never agree that you won because they will make the terms of the bet so complicated that they will always see where to stand and argue just to justify why you did not win. In some cases, even when the loss is obvious, they will refuse to give up the item, claiming that they were joking. Personally, I do not bet with a friend so that our relationship remains cool.

That is very true, you have to have a lot of loyalty so that those two things do not mean the enmity of two people, women can be a great trigger, but with money problems, games that both agree well so that later they do not come out in problems, all society is bad, that does not turn out very well, at some point one believes that he has more than the other and so on, then the friendship is damaged, so things like that I do not recommend.
It is better to play with our own money and not make things go to bigger problems, better to do everything alone.

do you ever see yourself ruining a friendship if your friend didn’t honor said bet? or it’s really not that serious?
I've been gambled with my friend in basketball games, but ruining our friendship? Not at all. I've been on a situation where my friend didn't pay the supposed bet that we agreed, but instead of ruining our friendship, I'd rather choose to lessen the bet or make it simple and most of the time I say, "Just treat me with some foods then because you lost." The amount of the food that he spent would be much lower but that's okay as long as the friendship is still intact and nothing bad happened.
who is at fault here, the friend who didn’t push through the bet because he lost? or the friend who got angry?
It's hard to judge TBH because we don't know the 2 people that're involved, but I would say that the person who lost is at fault because he didn't honor their agreement. Well, I guess karma has been served and his car got smashed. :D Forget about the payment already. :)
-
It's common to see friends strike a bet during an argument, infact it happens almost all the time. Personally I place bet with my friends, if I loose and you didn't return my stake I don't usually mind
Sometimes if I win the bet I buy drinks of which my friend the one that lost benefits from.
Not returning stake after winning a bet can not cause rift between me and my friends.

you must be really kind then lol for some people though they do not see the point of betting against each other if one party will not honor it and the other wont even mind if the other one didnt actually go through and paid what was agreed upon you should be careful though because some friends might be taking advantage of you already if you keep having this mindset about everything

good for you then it would seem that you have a strong bond with your friends for you to be confident enough that this will not ruin your friendship
-
Without awareness of the potential consequences that may arise, money can become a source of serious conflict in interpersonal relationships.
Betting with friends can be a fun moment but ironically, often the opposite happens.
This may not be a problem at first, but it will be a problem if the winner of the bet does not pay the bet as promised.
There are many other ways to have fun with friends without getting involved in betting. IMO

Playing bets with friends Can be fun as it helps to strengthen the bond of friendship that exists between them gambling is something that brings people together especially friends that are into betting as sometimes they will go out to watch football matches and bet whose team is to win the game
Personal I don't see the reason why those who call them selfs friends will not honor the friendship by not paying the money as agreed on the stake because friendship is something that is built on live and trust

However, no matter what is to be done in partnership: only joking, sharing storeys, or passing time watching something, the main thing is how this partnership is to remain healthy and valuable. The closeness in the relationship will be enhanced by a focal area of respect for the other person because it stands for both concern and candour that characterises togetherness. A previous study established that every single behaviour represents an aspect of the worth of the friendship. If we take trust as the foundation of the relationship, the relationship will be more stable, and thus the happiness received is far deeper than that which is derived from pleasure.
