I will trash talk, but my bets are different - I don't like it that one party loses and the other makes a profit at the expense of another. It is something I avoid doing. I buy raffle tickets as a way of making a donation to a worthwhile charity/organization, but I don't buy lottery tickets or go to the casinos. The last 50/50 raffle I got in, I donated my share back to the charitable organization.

I can do bets something like, "Player A bets that the loser -vs- Player B has to smoke a grape Swisher." Or the loser, "cannot have a cigar for the next week." Or, "the loser has to drink a Blatz while smoking a Gurhka." I can get pretty creative about such things.

I would do a bet with someone close enough to me that we could reasonably visit, "I bet... that the loser has to prepare a meal for the family of the winner." It is then an excuse to get together and both parties actually win.

I'm sorry for being a stick in the mud. I hope you don't mind. If this creates a problem, is there a way to remove my name?

Peace of the Lord be with you.
Your fine, Betting is not a requirement, just something out there on the table if people wanted to.

I would never require this, I really don't plan on betting but figured if others wanted to that was their choice to do with each other

If you choose not to that is fine and everyone should be ok with that.
