None of my teammates will gamble with me. Only the strongest player on that OTHER TEAM that we played gambles with me all of the time.
It drives one guy on our team crazy when people tell him that I am better than him. He sees me gambling with the guy from the other team and he keeps telling me that he will smoke me if I give him the spots that I give that other guy.
So two weeks ago, just he and I are practicing on the weekend, and I win the first two games in practice. Then he says, lets play a race to 7 and he puts coins on the table to mark the games. I told him that if we are going to play races, we should at least play for a little something to make it mean more for us. And he refused. So we play the race and I beat him 7-0. He was very unhappy and uncomfortable. I don't normally beat him by more than a couple games in a race to 7. But now I ruined his whole theory that I could never give him a big spot and win.
After that, this teammate told someone else that I know that it's no fun playing with me anymore. Gee, I wonder why. If his goal was to prove that I'm not better than him, that failed miserably.
Anyway, that guy wasn't involved in the coin flipped issue at all. But after I was already signed up with him to play scotch doubles in the State Tournament, he told me he's not playing anymore. So he and I are no longer friends either.
So yeah, this little coin flip overruling pretty much ruined my friendship with the entire team. But I'm fine with it actually. I have other guys to play with.
