The thing is that you should be happy, you won such amount with just $1 staked. One thing I've also noticed on gambling is that most time you stake little amount of funds the chance of winning is most time high.But staking huge amount of cash sometimes is the other way round okay just imagine you staking that $10 and you end up losing everything during the bet. Which you would have prefer losing the $10 through betting or borrow it to friend you know if you lose it on betting the casino owner won't refund your cash back so it's far gone. While your friend can give any time he or she have the money. So just celebrate your winning and forget about the amount you would have win staking $10.
She should indeed have been happy with her victory without thinking about the money her friend borrowed. She can ask for her money back if she meets her friend, which can increase his money. She can also place another bet to increase the amount of money but she must be able to place a bet on a team with a chance of winning. So it's better not to think about the money her friend borrowed but focus on trying to increase the amount of money he has now. She could be luckier next time so that the amount of money can increase even more, especially since she only placed a bet with a small amount of money. It was truly a moment that should have made her happy.

Have you also think about this aspect had in mean he didn't borrow his friend that money who knows if those games could have played as he planned. One thing I want us to understand about gambling is that not when you thought of having a winning you will have it because you may plan it but that day luck may run out of you or anyone out there., Borrowing his friend that money was the reason for him to win that game just as it's said "blessed is the hand that giveth than the one that taketh" so in other hands his luck came as a result of helping his friend out and luck ran into him and he won the game for that day.
Exactly, sometimes it will be fair if we think in both directions, by that I mean when we think about the advantages of some of our actions we should Also consider possible disadvantages aswell because most time they Chanel the attention so much on the advantages alone such that they forgot it could have been even worse.Gambling is literally a game of luck and if by chance you are lucky any day, you shouldn't see to it that you would have done better by making your stakes even bigger, that's greed setting in, asides religious involvement which I don't undermine, he just had a lucky day and should be grateful, if he had lost I'm sure he would have been even grateful the more because he will know that his friend coming to borrow the money helped him saved some cash well enough they he didn't have to loose everything, for me I see this idea of his as greed setting in and nothing much.

Now I am angry at my friend because he didn't keep to his words. Although I am still happy about the win, I wish he had given me back the $10. Then, I would have win bigger money.
What for?Now I am angry at my friend because he didn't keep to his words. Although I am still happy about the win, I wish he had given me back the $10. Then, I would have win bigger money.
You shouldn't be angry with your friend but be grateful to God that you were able to win. From the beginning, you are at fault, you do not lend what you do not have, and as for me, that money ($10) that you borrowed your friend, you actually do not have it because you wanted to use it for something. But since you had lent it out based on friendship and changed the status from owning to uncertainty, then you should blame yourself.
Aside from that, this is a typical human attitude playing here with you. What if you lose? If you lose, you would appreciate your friend that after all, he saved you of the money. But since you gained, you wanted to crucify him, that is not fair in my thought. Think about it, you had access to much money, and you could liquidate a little of your assets to make that whole bet, but you didn't do it simply because of fear and other considerations. Did you get angry with yourself due to that? If you can't, just let it be and be appreciative that you gained 10 times of your money and stop blaming the person who probably gained nothing.
The thing is that you should be happy, you won such amount with just $1 staked.

It happens bud, friends borrowing money and not paying back on time. I have my own experiences and several of them did not bother paying. For the same reason, I am more mindful of individuals borrowing cash from me. Additionally, the likelihood of not receiving payment is higher if the money borrowed is smaller just for instance $10.
But do not get too affected by your friend not paying in 3 hours. Just learn from it and do not let him borrow money again even in smaller sums. The most important is that you won with your casino wagers, luck is on you, and you were lucky.

It was generous of you to have borrowed your friend the money but if I were you, I would have made contingency plans Incase that money doesn't come back as planned. See it this way, you borrowed $10 and got back a quadruple of it, so I guess it's a win win situation. Who knows, even if you had all the $10 to bet, who knew if last minute you might just change your mind thinking the money is to much to be used, well I'm just saying as such thought usually creeps up my mind when I want to play such daring games.
Good thing you didn't get too angry and decided not to play, I feel you would have beat yourself up or probably bore a grudge for that friend.

I think the lesson to learn here is that we should not expect prompt payment from a loan that we made to a friend, and in many cases we may not get our money back, so if you are going to make a loan to a friend those factors need to be taken into account, and if you really need the money for some other activity then you need to refuse the loan, as nothing strains a relationship more than money issues, and we have clear evidence this is the case as even most marriages that end in divorce do so because of money issues.
This is why it would be always better that you shouldnt really be giving up some loan to your friend because if he's a gamble then most likely that loan wont be get paid up.In result? There would really be argumentations on which it would really be connected out when it comes to the money that has been borrowed. If you dont really like yourself to be put up on a situation on which relationship had been affected due to this kind of situation then it would be best that you shouldnt have let borrowed him at all in the first place. Those assumptions about winning big but ended up on being imaginary because you hadnt been able to make bets or missed out those opportunity then its normal that you would really be having that kind of blaming time or thing towards to those who had stopped you on doing so.
This is what i dont really like into this type of situation on which it do really looks like that im really that hesitant on asking it out about their loans or borrowed money.
Speaking about those bigger wins then there's nothing you can do, whats done is done and it would really be basing up on the actions that you had made on.

This is why I don't lend my friends anymore, if they ask me little money, I wouldn't expect it to be back and I'll just tell them that pay it whenever they are comfortable.
It's the same with me and that's one of the reasons why I like playing gambling alone at home without having friends who know. I often gamble on weekends in a private room, so every time I win at gambling, no one can borrow money from me. Honestly, I'm not a stingy person towards my friends, but just because I don't want to collect them in the future, especially because of the debt, the friendship is destroyed and damaged, so it's best not to let many people know that I have money from gambling or my work bonuses. let alone sharing stories on social media.Using social media should be done wisely because I don't want to share stories or my happy life to the public via social media, it's more important for me because I don't need people to know I'm happy, the point is to gamble for myself and enjoy every game and win. If you lose, no one should know about it except my wife, who has been managing the gambling budget for me.

Kind of you to have borrowed your friend some money you intended for something else. Yes blaming him is something normal. However, it really doesn't count any more as the bet has already been placed and the results already out. you didn't stake extra because you didn't have a full trust that those odds would favor you. I believe if you knew you would have won you would have even staked over $200 just to increase your winnings.
Most gambling activities are actually controlled by luck so you never really know if you will win or lose till it has actually happened. So regrets afterwards won't be necessary since they change nothing.
Congratulations on your winning.

Yeah, you're right.
And also there's the fact that many gamblers know this but still think it doesn't apply to them, that somehow they are "lucky".
That's also part of the story that casinos want to build, that special person that wins against all the odds, it makes it interesting.
And I understand why people gamble, because it can be fun and it can be very captivating, as the casinos know how to do everything to capture your attention.
Big wins can be very enjoyable and really profitable for most gamblers but the pursuit of victory cannot always end in happiness or profit because there are losses that always happen to them, even in quite large amounts.
We all know that casinos always provide attractive offers and make us lulled by limits and self-control, for example they offer bets with high odds, this will make gamblers lose control and their awareness.
But this is not the casino fault because they are in business and make as much money as possible by making some attractive offers.
And of course we as gamblers must really be able to understand it, we must be able to take several steps that are much more responsible, such as only using small amount of money to gamble and not trying to hope for much bigger win.
Now you know better not to let your friend borrow any money from you anymore because they're in the wrong here, they made a promise about the money returning in an hour so it's only natural that they have to face some sort of consequence and that would be the fact that you're not going to tolerate that behavior anymore and that you won't lend him any money anytime soon. I think that your anger is a valid one, that money could've been used to bet and could've made you more money but your friend screwed you over with that promise. The lesson here is that you should know when to lend your money and when not to because no matter what you choose from those actions, they don't have any control over it.
A little PSA to everyone here about lending money, if someone is promising you to return the money that they've loaned you in a specific time or date without you telling them what date or time they will pay it back, you're most likely not gonna see that money anytime soon because that person's going to take their time with that money.

IMO, it won't be bigger or the same because this is how this universe works. If you try to do something different in the past then you won't have the result that you've got.
So, just be it and let it all happen when it's with the results but I agree that your friend you have paid you already.
This is why I don't lend my friends anymore, if they ask me little money, I wouldn't expect it to be back and I'll just tell them that pay it whenever they are comfortable.

Yeah, people regret not betting more when they win, and regret betting a lot when they lose.
At the end of the day it is just a random event, and you never know the outcome of it until you actually observe the result.

Sometimes i do have some money which is really just that enough for me and when your friend do ask out some amount and you've failed on granting out such request, then they would suddenly changed up their mood or the way they treat you. This is why as much as i could then i would really be that letting them borrow because i dont like for relationship to be broken just because of those mere amounts. Speaking about those results then it is really just that normal that you would really be having those kind of assumptions that if we do able to bet that bigger then we might be able to win up that big too and this is something that would circles to your mind all over again and again until it would really be that influence you to play or make bigger bets. So, just be it and let it all happen when it's with the results but I agree that your friend you have paid you already.

Quote from: Casdinyard
I say, don't give more than what you have. And while this doesn't fit like a glove in your scenario, it just goes to show how salty you are about the 10 bucks he wasn't able to give you back on time, to which I say "why give him the money in the first place?" Thing is, people will fail to pay loans on time, and unless you have them by the neck, they wouldn't be able to comply to the rules of your loan, I say just be happy with what you got cause the situation would've been different if they did pay you back. Think of it this way, at the very least, on top of winning that much money in a go, you also have 10 bucks on your friend that he's still about to pay. Isn't that amazing? Don't be too salty friend.
This your story is part of some of the things gamblers must experience some time that will make them to increase the amount of money they use to play bet or decrease the amount of money they are using to play in the gambling center. If you don't play with your satisfaction in that particular game you won doesn't mean if you have that huge amount of money to play you can win but anytime you win just know that you win by luck not by the money you used to bet in that particular game.Don't forget that money will finish but what you did to that your friend you borrowed the money will not forget you in his life, and I don't think he purposely do what he did not to fulfill his promise he made to pay back the money.

Congratulations on winning your bet. Well, about staking more than you should, I know its kind of painful because you'd have staked $10 as you said if the person you lend your money has returned it. However, look at it this way, what if the person had returned the money and you bet on the game and did not win? You wouldn't have been saying this, you have probably thank God he didn't return you the borrowed money. So don't feel bad, savour your winning and be happy.
What matters is that the lent money wasn't necessary for OP's winning. She still made a sweet profit even without her friend paying the loan back. It could have been better, it's true, but since the result of the bet was already good, there shouldn't be any complaints about it. Like you said, and if the bet was lost? The result could also be worse! The cup will be always half full or half empty, depending how the person tends to see the situation. In my opinion it's important to practice the ability to see it half more frequently. Optimistic thoughts attract positive vibes and outcomes, maybe not exactly in gambling, but for life...you hadnt been able to make bets or missed out those opportunity then its normal that you would really be having that kind of blaming time or thing towards to those who had stopped you on doing so.
At first I was like "that mindset is what's going to get you one day" and after reading your story, while I still harbor the same feelings as before I kind of feel what you're trying to convey now. The fact alone that you trusted your friend with money that I don't think you just dilly-dallied to get is already something, for them to not get back on their words is definitely disappointing. But at least for me, I don't think you should be this disappointed to your bro since at the end of the day, the money that they borrowed is still yours, and you'd probably get it later eventually.
Just think of it this way, at the very least your friend owes you money that you don't even have to gamble for anymore. And while it could've helped increase your gains from when you're all-in-ing in your gambling spree I would say the situation could've been different my friend, so be careful about that. I guess we just have to be very happy about what we have, and not attribute to malice what we could attribute to incompetence.
