A gambler who betrayed his friend's trust

[TravelMug]

Then their friendship are ruined definitely, and that is the sad part of it. For me this is just money, so it's not worth a try to betray your friend's trust. Anyway, if the other party did this, then probably it's because of greed and the power to have all that money.

Maybe he hasn't seen that kind of money before and he was tempted to do that, run away with it and getting all the money, forgetting all about their friendship. In the end, this is another of those statistics wherein the love of money and greed destroyed everything.

The hardest thing is to get betrayed by your friend especially if it involves a huge amount of money, you can ask him to share the winning if he declines then you can go to court and ask the court to give him your shares of the winnings but everything depends on the evidence you have if you cannot show something in the court then you cannot file a case, this is a lesson that when it comes to gambling you should be on your own, you should just bet the same entry but with your own money not sharing the ticket.

[Daltonik]

Well, this is a fairly frequent and sad story of friendship and betrayal, and if Kelvin did this, then he was sure that Charles would not pursue him, he cheated him with money, but he also stole Charles' time and faith. I would not meet with such a person in an attempt to explain something to him, if it was an attack of cowardice, then he will understand everything himself and try to fix everything.

It is not clear to me if that is supposedly a story that you knew first hand, because you do not put sources and you could have invented it, but I have heard similar stories from quite some time ago.

Nowadays there is not that much of a problem, what you have to do when you share a lottery ticket is for the one who has the ticket stub to send a photo via instant messenger to all those who share the ticket, as it is considered evidence in court.

That way, Charles could go to the police or the court and report Kelvin.

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.

Money will always broke everyones dream to earn respect and trust , if you don't want your friendship to be ruined then never let money interfere to your relationship.

specially in gambling that completely a place for greedy and self centered people.

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.

I will never let Him go, I would rather spend another thousand of dollars because the win is truly plenty though this will be hard to prove as gambling isn't that recorded at all.

Maybe they can sort it out if Kevin give Charles share for old-time sake and if not then maybe they can settle on the court.

I wouldn't really try the latter, 3 months if long enough for my anger to stay. But I would definitely want the money as I won as well. Not trusting a friend can actually be hurtful as well. I can understand it so Charles is not a very sassy guy. But this is not a good trait to adopt in this wild world.

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.

LoL what? Gambling don't work that way unless the provider changes the odds when you wager more.

They should have wagered separately.

I didn't even have to read the rest of the story because I can already guess what happened.

When it is about money, trust only yourself and no one else. That's a solid life lesson for whoever lost money in this story.

[rodskee]

There is always a place to set things in good way , they are still a  friend  so I think they will settle this maybe not today or tomorrow? but surely in the days to come because surely in the future when their path crosses again , understanding will take place.

or maybe if the traitor become more successful ? then he may return back the funds will full interest on it.


But the main thing in this is never to trust anyone with your money and most specially in in this kind of vises .

[_act_]

Maybe they can sort it out if Kevin give Charles share for old-time sake and if not then maybe they can settle on the court.

This would be the best option, but what evidence is Charles having against Kelvin? Because of that, it is better for Charles to just still report to police about it, the police may still want to help until it is not resolved that it should become a court case.

Not trusting a friend can actually be hurtful as well. I can understand it so Charles is not a very sassy guy. But this is not a good trait to adopt in this wild world.

This would be a lesson if this happens, some events occurs for others to learn from. It is not that some people do not trust a friend, just that they have certain percentage of trust for a friend and that is better. If it comes to money matter, it is not good to trust a friend. A friend you think is the best can suddenly change and become what you do not expect, not fully trust a friend does not hurt at all.

[len01]

the first thing i did was go to his house and punch him in the face as hard as i could so he realized that friends and trust are not easy to buy with money.
after that i told him "if you want to eat the money, just eat because the law of nature will surely repay"
and after that i won't ask for any justice because i think with the jab i gave him and the short word that comes out of my mouth it will make him feel guilty to death.


for me for gambling it is risking money. and if gambling cooperatively with friends is very risky because no one does not want money, of course there will be problems such as taking away his own friend's money

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

There is only one way to treat a traitor,and that is capital punishment in many countries,even those with democratic and western developed values.I would personally go after him and find him and make him accountable even if that meant that this would have been my last thing to do in my life,the rage after the treason cannot be easily forgotten.

I will tell a story why I don't believe that much in friendships.One guy was arrested for being accused of killing another guy and he was in prison but with some amnesty he got to be in home arrest,he was being safeguarded by two guards because the people of the guy who killed wanted to kill him.It looked like there was no way to get to him but the people of the guy killed had a lot of money.In the house of this guy arrested only entered his closest 2 friends.One day these closest friends were tempted by 100.000 EUR and killed their friend and his dad,now they are all in prison but that is the reason I don't trust friendships anymore.

There are many people in this world who are really very ruthless and cruel with no sense of humanity. They always betray people. However, if you want to continue in this world, you must judge good and bad. The person who has betrayed you and killed your money, you will soon see his money destroyed from him. Any money or thing you kill from someone doesn't last long, it will get out of you one way or another.Be patient and soon you will get something better.

[Strongkored]

I wouldn't even care about his decision to go and take the money, would never try to find him and ask him for clarification.
Because what he does is enough to prove his true nature and will only waste time chasing him, let him enjoy the money later it will soon run out because what he is doing is a form of greed and greed that will also lead him to bad things in his life later.

[Jawhead999]

I don't want to get a long problem to report him and ask for a justice about my money, so I will let him go with my money, but I will never forgive him and I still want my money back to me. He will get sin what he done before and I think that's enough revenge for me, maybe he will face a bad day that would make him regret what his done. If he came back to me to return the money, I wouldn't accept it so he will have sin and try to beg to forgive him.

[Peanutswar]

Actually, with this kind of scenario theres a chance that Charles would chase Kevin because this is a large amount for sure with that but if you don't mind too much money you will ignore it and nothing happen but of course, we have different mindsets and approach with the problem, for me the best thing is still it is good that he gives an even small amount just to get fair to Charlie because they both each other hard work with that bet, some people would file a case if there's a chance to get half the winnings.

[LogitechMouse]

I'll confront, but I'll never ask for the winnings because for sure, it's gone already.

This is the problem when you trust a friend. In real life, you might have many friends around, but not all of them are the ones you need to trust especially when it comes to money. If I'm in that situation, I'll just pretend that it never happened since it will be useless and the money for sure is gone and I believe in karma so... I'll let it go but will never forgive him.

If this is a true story, I hope that Charles learned from this one and will not do the same thing again.

[harizen]

If this is a true story, I hope that Charles learned from this one and will not do the same thing again.

I just can't believe how Kelvin has the guts to do that to his best friend for a long. It's hard to live a comfortable life within the luxury standards where in the first place, the money used to achieve that came from cheating and almost can consider scamming since Charles' capital was also used here. I don't know how Kelvin can even move freely knowing his reputation is now ruined as for sure Charles might share the situation on social media or with many of their other friends.

Good thing that this story might not be true (I hoped so) because if that's true, Kelvin might not be happy with where he is right now even though he has lots of money. That cheating won't give him peace even when he is sleeping.

[Wexnident]

I mean ehhh, guess I'll question it but not do anything about it not that I'm capable of doing anything in the first place really. The slip was with him, there wasn't any legality about how the winning was to be split so I wouldn't really get the split no matter what, but it is worth knowing as to why just to sate the curiosity of sorts.

But that's about it. Heck if I needed to go overseas just to confront him I'd probably not bother, 3 months is a pretty long time and is enough to pretty much say forget it kind of thing. 

Also uh, wouldn't the win be the same regardless if they bet the money together(if they bet on the same result or something) or not? Or am I missing something?

[danherbias07]

It will be a big problem if Charles will chase him trying to claim half of the winning amount. It's only a slip, there will be no proof of Charles's claim that he has a part of the bet amount.
Even if it goes to court, he will not win.
All he could do is ask Kelvin about being a true friend. Maybe make a dramatic script and just try to take back the ROI and maybe some win if he will be touched with the scripted dialogue.  
Break that friendship afterward, and learn from the mistake.

I hope there will be some proof of their partnership I mean that they both have the agrrement that whatever may happen they will get the half half of the jackpot, but if not he can talk to Kelvin it is really sad seeing your friend being so selfish about the the thing that you must have as well.
