Would you guys take money from a friend?

Nah dude, he didn't learn ****. Make him pay in full and that'll show him to never ever bet again if he pay up without asking you to lax it out. Get at least half of that or he'll keep doing this again and again. You messed up, now he'll keep telling you to go easy on him if he keeps on betting you and even if you tell him no, he knows you'er a bluff. The only way to regain your power would be to get physical with him, but by then, you guys won't be friends anymore.
 
I thought about this last night.

Me and my boy were wagering on 2K games and I didn't want it to get messy so we bet on beer/bud. Losses are minimal and lulz are had.
 
Money
Moving in
Never mixes well with family or friends
Learned those lessons the hard way
Also people who say they are your friends show their true colors when they owe you money or when you are down and out
 
your friends sounds like the type of person to not have your back when you need it. no backbone or honor.

i personally never make money bets with friends (unless its a friendly game of poker) and if i do lend money to a friend, its money i expect to not get back, so i don't lend out too much.

if you conned him then you cant take the money. if its a legit bet where either side could end up winning, then you should at least make him do something to call off the 12k (buy everyone lunch at a hangout, wash your car...etc..)

backstory would be helpful to analyze the situation though

I honestly think he'll just blow the money away anyway. He'll find solace in spending that money nonchalantly because that money was supposed to be yours.

****** 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...

allright heres a little more backstory me and my boys play cards a lot and it involves money well somehow it got to the point where i convinced my boy to bet on flipping coins with me

and if i won he would pay double if he lost (which is what i meant by unfair advantage and conned him) well it went from a few hundred to a few thousand and i just kept winning one thing we have though is pretty much a verbal agreement in any wagers that the loser is entitled an opportunity to win back what he lost in the end i just ended up cutting him off and agreed to never play with him and in return he gave me all his cash (around a few k )

i feel like i did the right thing here but then again im technically out of more than a few thousand

No.

If you don't have enough money to pay for something yourself then you save until you do.
 
man some of you guys are straight ruthless lol not even thinking twice about taking over 10k from a friend

ey a bet is a bet my man, a man has nothing if he doesn't have his word.  action = consequences.  the friend is the one who should feel horrible, not OP.
 
12k!? hell muh****en yea, hell i cry when a friend offers to pitch in for gas.
 
If you see him betting again since he claims "he learned his lesson" its time to charge him that 12k.

wait so how did you con him? seems like a "double or nothing" kind of gamble, which is pretty fair since your friend agreed

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...:smh:

I feel that i did the right thing but part of me is :\ 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

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 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.

I couldn't take $12k, once the amount got over the price of dinner I wouldn't even take the bet seriously.  I would never bet actual cash over $5-$20, usually we bet on lunch, dinner, or coffee.  I think you did the right thing, unless he would be expecting $12k if he won...

So you did get some cash from him? You just wanted to check if you deserved the rest?

i felt bad enough as it is taking the few k but over 10k is a completely different thing cause we usually play for a few hundred

which is how this whole thing started lol i ended up turning 200 that i had to mess around with into 12k it wasn't double or nothing because for example i put up 200 he puts up 400

so if i won i would have 600 in total not 400 and eventually i won enough of these flips to the point it got that big i think what i did was a decent act of mercy taking 25% instead of the full amount

edit: also he is one of those "alpha" tough guys and after owing me 12k he completely broke down and it was sad and funny at the same time seeing this guy break down and bow down and beg for mercy i just couldnt feel right taking so much money from him if it was just an acquaintance or a dude at the casino i would give no dambs and take it
