So I play beyblades with my neighbor all the time, and recently we did a bet match, where both of us put a beyblade on the side and the winner got to choose which one he wanted to keep. I lost, and he got practically my best beyblade. So my question is, how can I become a better blader so I can win it back? Thanks
Don't engage in beyblade matches "for keepsies". Tell him you regret agreeing to those terms, and ask if he could please return the bey. Neither of you should be trying to take beys from each other. Involve your parents if you have to. Whose idea was this? This was a terrible idea and you should never have agreed to it. You should both be grounded for both your greed and your foolishness.
Focus on learning to make better decisions first, instead of becoming a better blader.
Also, if you know what beyblade combo your opponent is probable to pick, choose parts that are likely to defeat that combo.

Damn that's deep, and true.
Deceased Crab summed up everything I would have said.

Greed? I mean it’s not like we were just taking each other’s beys and giving nothing in return. It was a trade, just not the type of trade you’re used to

Doesn't a trade involve both parties getting something? What did you get out of this?

hey everybody makes mistakes gambling is a thing but calling it greedy and making him feel worse isn't going to help especially with that bluntness we have wants and that sometimes is greater than logic as for getting it back
1 ask for it back saying this was something that was really important to you
2. if he doesn't want to give it back reason with him on how he would have felt if he lost his best bey
3. if he still doesn't wanna give it back DO NOT TRY AND GAMBLE AGAIN this is stupid and will make u lose more beys
4. get your parents involved (as much as I hate to say it) it's a 50% 50% where they get really mad at you or are really helpful

Thank you, I’ll try that
Why don't you try and convince him he did a really bad deal on his side? If he was new to blading, he would probably give it back quick.

no idea if he's new, and if he won why would he want to trade? He should keep his own bey since it's "better", at least in this case.
Ok, so go out to the store and buy turbo Spryzen and deep Caynox. Put the deep Caynox tip on Turbo Spryzen and switch it to the opposite spin direction of the opponent. I guarantee you will git your bey back and more if you keep betting beys.
Or just git gud

That will not work unless you are using Hasbro. Takara Tomy is superior in every way.

Oof that's not how it be fam. It is still possible to beat TT with Hasbro and even if they are using things like JJ, ZL, and LS, I doubt that they will have the skill to use the attack beys property. And since there is no mode switching rules, you can get a superior advantage no matter what.
can you describe better the match?

not true only Bahamut has a chance from Hasbro.
To be better at beyblade, I'd say you'd need to understand what parts you have and how they work. Most people just think that better beyblade = Automatic win, but that isn't always the case. If you don't know how to use your beyblade properly, you may win a few battles, but you won't win most of them. Just randomly pulling the launcher and hoping you'll win is naive and keeps you at a lower level. Plus, you might be like me and not have the funds to get the latest beyblades. You might need to make what you have work. I've seen literal miracles happen in matches, like when I won a round with Sr.13.Et against CzS.00W.Br. It's all about strategy and believing in your tatics.
One: Don't play for keeps.
Two: Why the heck would you bet on your best bey?
Three: Ask for it back.
Four: Work on decision making before blading.
Five: Research research research. It took me a couple years to fully understand functions and meta.

Wait you managed to beat CzS Bearing with an Eternal combo? Very impressive.

Yeah, it was only one battle though. The combo isn't very reliable tbh. It might have been the way I launched it, idk. It was in opposite spin so spin stealing played a factor as well.

Well of course. If you beat CzS 00W Br with Sr 13 Et in same spin then my brain would have exploded(knockouts don't count).

Actually, I know how I beat it. I was yelling at my beyblade the entire time. That's how you win a battle! B)

Not really. If you play your cards right, as hard as it is, Hasbro can do some stuff. And with turbo Spryzen being really good, you can use it like the TT one, just maybe a bit less effectively. And keep in mind that hasbro can counter TT stuff to, like how dC3 can beat pP Xt+ on the right set up and B3 has a good matchup against non JJ right spin beys.

Well opposite spin would be just, if not more surprising to see a win from.
