Topic: A gambler who betrayed his friend's trust - page 5. (Read 505 times)

This story just sound like one of our Nollywood Nigerian drama. Because they are the only set of people in this world that can act and tell a story just as narrated. But however, if this happens to be true just as it sounds, then justice is the best way forward. But before I start, i don't know the kind of friendship that may have coexisted between these two set of people, because the mistake most people make today is trusting people too easily to the point of sharing secret information to someone you barely know anything about. Because If you go deep into this case, you may get to notice that Kelvin and Charles may have been good friends but never did any of them had deep information about each other. That is, for example...
Charles full name, where is he from, who are his sibling, his father or mothers phone number or any emergency contact address or phone number, e.t.c.
Because If I was to be Charles, the best decision will be to arrest Kelvin and ask him to refund me my share of the winning. Very simple

I will go after him, but not in a do or die way, i will confront him for two reasons, and those are :-

• To know why he did what he did
• To know if there is still any amount of money left for me --

If there is, i will take it and leave him forever - that is he will never be my friend again.
But if there is not any money left from the winning, i will let him be since since trying to arrest him or take him to court will result to me wasting my money, this is because there is no available evidence to prove that we played the game together, and the court of police are definitely going to need evidence before the believe and prosecute him...
So i would personally leave him to karma and work really hard on creating a good life for myself.

Gambling can sometimes take quite twists and turns. And if you are really dealing with someone who is heavily addicted to gambling, close friends but also family can become victims. It will not be the first time that a relationship breakup has occurred as a result of a gambler who does everything he can to get money. Friendships can also break, but it's better to confide in a good friend and tell them about your problem than to make fun of him. After all, that's what friends are for and every addiction can eventually be overcome. But you must persevere and certainly not betray your friends and family. It certainly won't make you feel any better.

I would really just to do one thing which is "punch him on the face".I dont care about the money that he had ran away but trust is something that cant be bought back.Once its broken then it cant really be return as it was

before.He had the money but you cant really bring your friendship back on what he had done.Also, there's karma which he had attained that life but it is really attached with those disrespecting and betrayal into someone

which those riches would really be wiped out on later years but who knows? It do really sucks when it comes to money where friendship or trust could easily be broken out
and this is why you should really be betting on your own rather than on trusting up someone.

It should be in this case what happened by entrusting it entirely to a friend is clearly a reckless act regardless of whether this story is true or just a fiction.
When it comes to money, everything is possible, not only for friends, but even for relatives, everyone will become greedy when it comes to money and of course things like this are quite common if we believe too much.

First I will blame Charles for trusting too., when it comes to money not many people can be trusted or that can practice loyalty to friends so why should I trust anyone when the world is full of many fake friends who can betray you for a penny?
But then why did Charles chossw to do combine betting with his friend in the first place when we know that, when it comes to money. Not everyone can control themselves to maintain integrity.

Is this real or just a story?

Charles was foolish. How would he trust friend up to that extent? That is foolishness. We should not handle life with foolishness, bet separately.

Kelvin is now rich. If Charles is not rich, Kelvin may win anything brought up by Charles, except if Charles is rich and able to file a law suit with Kelvin. But even where is the evidence that they added money together to bet.

I think, I will confront him and ask why he did such betrayal.
As I would want to hear it directly from him, why such action?
And if Kelvin is insisting not to give my part, maybe that's the test that your friendship is not real.
As you have no proof anymore but your verbal agreement with him, it is useless running after him.
Move on and avoid people like him. Once money knocks on their door, you are easily forgotten.

To build trust on someone takes time and  sacrifice, you have someone that you trust so much because they know this,they end up disappointing you in a way that might be unforgivable because of money.

There are two friends Kelvin and Charles,they have similar likes and have being gambling and predicting results of matches together. One day Kelvin and Charles studied a game together for some days and finally, it was the game day,so these two friends instead of playing separately decided to put their money together to bet big so that the win will also be bigger. After betting since Kelvin and Charles have been friends for long, Charles didn't bother about who will keep the game slip and so the slip was with Kelvin.

Four hours later,the game was played, the game came out as predicted and these two friends got a big win of $120K. Charles before the game started,fell asleep and woke up two hours after the game ended,believing whatever happens,his friend Kelvin will notify him. Kelvin noticed the win and checked on Charles at home to find out that Charles is fast asleep.

Kelvin secretly withdrew the money and ran away to another state where he feels Charles wouldn't find me, Charles woke up and checked the game,then called his friend but he was nowhere to be seen. Three months later a friend of Charles saw Kelvin living in a big house with a luxurious lifestyle and told Charles.
All these happened because Charles trusted Kelvin

If you were Charles what will you do after knowing where Kelvin ran away to with the money you both won. Will you just let go,or you will go after him to get justice ? or how will you treat this issue.
