    I'm curious who on here makes bets often with their friends

    If you do, would you normally just bet money or something else?

    Sometimes, but we have a €1 limit, it's about bragging rights mostly, handing over that euro is painful!

    If we are both doing something competitive together whoever performs the worse buys first round after.

    It's unspoken standing bet.

    All the time. I bet you any money I says. Or sometimes I says I bet you anything.

    if there is a group of three or more of us watching a match together, we'll have €2 on first goal scorer.

    I only ever bet a pint with friends. Sometimes the anti is upped and it escalates to a pint and a packet of bacon fries

    Sometimes the only way to end a pub argument is with a bet. So, yeah, I bet with friends.
