Me and my boys are some big degen gamblers so recently i somehow ended up winning 12k from my boy through it but i didnt have the heart to take it from him and just forgave him of the debt my homie could afford to pay out but it would be financially straining on him and he pleaded with me to cut off some slack and that he learned his lesson...

about the money cause we have no problem taking a few hundred to a few thousand from each other it never got this out of control
 
I wouldn't take 12k from a friend on a bet unless he was a millionaire, and i knew it wouldn't bug him/wife/family.
 
I'ma play along just for the sake of peace

If I make a bet with a friend, I honor that bet. If that friend owes me from a bet I never pressure him cause I know to make bets with guys I know can pay.

One thing I never will do and recommend to anyone is don't lend money to friends. Just avoid it.
 
When me and my friends bet, it is usually for bragging rights or something humiliating. Never bet money with friends or family. It's just tacky.

Don't ever make bets with this particular friend again

That awkward tension might always be there from now on

If you win a bet he might ask you to let him slide again

Then your gonna have to eventually to draw the line in the sand and tell him to pay up

Once you draw the line an argument between friends might take place

Once that argument between friends happen it might lead to a lost friendship.

If you don't have a problem taking a few thousand from each other, then just take up to an amount you are both comfortable with and forgive the rest.
 
Just put the tab on him whenever you guys eat out / drink.... forever! or until you've eaten around 12k in food and drink which ever comes first.
 
I would show mercy since hes ’my friend’ just by taking 2gs. Wouldnt wanna put a friend into struggle mode so I can come up.That ways he learns his lesson, and I feel like I still won. (cus in your situation, you know you lost, right?)

you got my rep.
 
Owe the man pay the man...

****** is GROWN *** MEN.

You bet me your bottom dollar, Ima ask you if thats what you REALLY want...

You confirm your bet, thats on you.

I WISH a ***** would come to me like, "yo, I cant afford to lose this money"

Shouldve said that to yourself before you bet...
 
I would've taken the money.. Do you think that if you would've lost the bet for 12k that he would've let you slide?

Straight up. If you make a bet, you pay up. I bet he wouldn't be on the internet asking questions if he had won, he would be asking you where his dough is at. With that being said, if you have a soft conscience, then you shouldn't be gambling for high stakes with close friends and associates. He owns you if you let it slide tho. You will always be weak in his eyes. He might even steal your wife or girlfriend after this if you don't make him pay up.

That shows what type of person he is. A real man would just pay up and honor his debt. Had he just paid you the money, you could have just taken a grand or two, and given him the dough back and you both would have saved face(Not what I would have done,personally). By asking for you to let it slide, he is basically assuming that you are weak and he can pull wool over your eyes and manipulate you.
 
the way my boys are set up...I know they would take my money. So why wouldn't I do the same?

Edit: 12k is a lot of money. I wouln't be stupid enough to bet so much money with a friend. Only If I was a millionaire.
