Losing $350,000 because of a friend, what would you do?

[Oilacris]

What we are trying to here is match the fictional part of movie with the real one which is very unlikely to happen as others have already told you.If someone is allowed to change the bets and remove chips then what's the fun of placing bet at all? So casino don't allow it but what if happens? You would not speak to him for rest of your life and end friendship with him but can't kill him  The gambling is full of risk and even with the same bet you might have not be able to win that amount so take a chill pill and relax and creating imaginative scenes.

Its really fictional which is something that cant really happen in real world situation which it isnt really that possible for your bets to be changed when the roulette is rolling.
If ever they would really be able to allowed such thing then they would really be sued out on what they had done on letting others alter those bets which means it cant really be that possible
on real life situation.

If ever this one happens into my part where my friend did really changed up a bet and then it win up huge amount then just like the rest been saying that this particular friendship is over
or something that you would really be punching up his face on why he do that?
Relations could really be ending up if we do talk about money but into that certain extent which the amount involved is something big.

I had a similar incident, although not exactly in this way. It was 4 years ago. A close friend and I had a joint gambling account. When we were gambling, we made joint decisions and acted that way. But one day it didn't happen that way. When I was going to bet equally on two different games, my friend changed his mind according to his own opinion and played with all the money in one game. He did something like this without my knowledge. At the end of this incident, when we were going to have a lot of money, we didn't have any money. As a result, he is still my friend After this incident, he returned my main money and we ended our partnership. Since then, I have not involved anyone in gambling.

That is why it is better for us not to share our gambling accounts with other people, even our friends, because we do not know when they will use that gambling account. Moreover, if they don't have good self-control, they can use all the money in the gambling account and not ask or tell us about it. This can lead to fights between us and friendships can be damaged because of this little thing. But you are still lucky not to lose that friend of yours and are still my friend.

And if there is a credit card linked to it things could be many times worse, after all people trust in their friends and they are not going to check every single thing they do, and if you have a joint account then it could be possible for your friend to abuse that trust you have in them and make some withdrawals without your permission, so it is better to keep our accounts separated, besides I think most casinos do not like arrangements like this one as it could bring financial loss to them.

I would not suggest using a credit card to deposit money for gambling because I am worried that the bill at the end of the month could increase due to the lack of control from each of us. While we might say we have good self-control, we know how the temptations of gambling will get to us so each of us should deposit some money into the sharing account and tell the others. That is to avoid cases of abuse of trust and credit card bills later. We must protect our accounts by not sharing them with friends unless they are very close to us and can be trusted.

indeed it's much better to have a limited bankroll for gambling so things don't go out of control
if using a credit card at least use a separate one from normal use and control the money limit so you don't get in trouble

better safe than "sorry in big debt"

Never ever suggest on using up your credit card when it comes to gambling yet that control you've been talking would really be that impossible on this case.I already have that bad experience on using up credit
card which you could really make yourself that impulsive when it comes to spending.Even you would really be telling into yourself that everything should be on control but on the time that you are
on the actual situation then this is where things becomes even more harder to resist,specially if you do know that you do still have the money or the capacity on spending
since you could always make use of your credit card which is really a very bad idea on no matter what angle.

You will not feel your spending if you use your credit card so its not advisable so much better to use the money we have on hand since this will give us much awareness that we exceed to our limits sand we are much very careful on our bets.

But if we can't avoid this maybe set some limits according to your capacity and practice this always so that this could not lead to worse condition to us.

I very much agree with this.

It's really a bad advice to tell someone to use their credit card for luxurious things that in the first place, they are not thinking on splurging with.

Using your credit card for your wants once in a while is okay as long as you have the means to pay it and if you know it to yourself that you are disciplined enough to pay it back before the due date. Spending it to your necessities and to increase your credit score could be a good way to maximize your credit card usage for rewards and points accumulation which you could also utilize in the future.

However, telling someone to use it for gambling just gives me a negative vibe because a person that has a credit card doesn't necessarily mean he's already equipped with financial literacy. Most people especially the new cc holders fall into the trap of borrowing money and ended up accumulating big interest and loans they can't afford to pay. Which could literally ruin their life if ever they'll be victimized by continuous use of credit card without having the right mindset of obligation in paying.

here in africa if that happened i am absolutely sure that the guy who was deceived would spend years looking for his friend to do the same thing to him, here in africa they even kill each other for something like 1$, yes you are not reading it wrong, here in africa in africa people are capable of killing another person for 1$, now imagine if it was $350,000? losing that money the person would not forgive you and would spend years resentful and hating you, even if they were friends since they were children, when it comes to money here in africa people forget things like friendship and love, money becomes the most important thing It is important, even when people go to buy lottery tickets, there is already a tense atmosphere, it seems that they are in a fight

If there's one thing that I absolutely wouldn't do, it's using a bank card to go and play at the online casino, even at the physical casino, even if I'm a person with a lot of self-control, I wouldn't do that, for the following reason: when a person plays and has money to spare at that moment when he is playing that person will always be tempted to use that money that is with him, the thought will always be that he can use that money and then when he wins he will replace that money and with that thought the person will continue losing money, and will continue thinking that next time he will win and will replace the money but at the end of the day the person will lose all the money that is in the bank. the right thing is for the person to always deposit a small amount, that even when he loses, he will not have more money to deposit

Yes, that's true. Never link a debit or credit card to gambling because we must think that we still have savings that we can use for gambling and even we can think that we can use the money in the bank for gambling. There have been many people who have lost a lot of money, some of them did not even link their cards to gambling but they deposited more on gambling sites. This should not happen to us, especially if we have to sacrifice a friendship with our friends because we will lose friends and money. Those are very valuable things in our lives. By playing on our own account, we will not risk losing our friends' trust and we are responsible for our account and ourselves. We must realize that the temptation of gambling will become greater, making us forget our reason for playing gambling.

Of course, we won't use a credit card to play gambling, even though we have separated it from the main credit card because we can still easily get the temptation to continue gambling. We must always limit the amount we use to gamble to limit the amount of money we lose in gambling games.

Human instinct and it is a money matter. Maybe it's not just a punch, but with that huge amount of money, I'm pretty sure
that the anger will flow and maybe you won't be able to think the right way.

If your disappointment triggered you, might be possible that you will think of killing
The person even it is your friend. Huge amount of money can change everything.

I know some people who think the same way after they lose their money because of their close relatives and friends so those guys are now in hiding. People work hard to get that money and to lose it as simple as that, it would be a disaster unless the person is a multi-millionaire and maybe he will just do some light punishment maybe he won't ever want to see the person who loses that money again but if it's the only money he has and he becomes poor because of their foolishness, he might do the unthinkable because of his frustrations.

there are ways to control yourself using a credit card
worst case scenario one could have a credit card just for gambling as I suggested with a small limit
or even leave the app that controls the credit card limit with a trusted person if you don't trust yourself for being able to control it

I don't think you can modify your bets once the game have started. It must be against the rules and you will not be qualified anymore whatever the result will be. It's not fun when someone joins your decisions but we can talk with them and tell them if what is the problem. They should stop after it and we can return to the game eventually.

Sometimes our friend can do that because they have an itchy hand and can't be contented on just watching you playing. It can also be a sign that they want to be involved with the game. We must not be angry with them but we can try to provide some capital to them if we have extra money. There is no need to break the friendship.

[freedomgo]

Actually, it's not always bad to have a joint gambling account as I have one myself with one of my friends which is just mainly for sportsbetting as we want to maximize our profit by having a larger bankroll.

I agree with you. What matter there is, we are still control our financial status properly even we do gambling. That's why I don't consider a heavy gambler as a person that don't know what do as what if in the end, they are still disciplined even how addicted they are in gambling.

Back to topic, it's really hard to put some real thoughts there because that is something can't really happened in real life.

Is the story shared by the OP was real and happened in real life? It's just that it is almost too unlikely to happen because I don't think that anyone could modify that bet once it already started, even if it's your friend or not. I haven't saw such scenario like that before when I was fond of playing roulette. Looking forward to know more details about this.

[gunhell16]

Reality is far from a movie, and a movie is far from reality.
Ain't gonna happen in real life. You don't wanna touch your friends bet coz it's gonna be a total chaos when something like the movie happens. Plus, I guess we are not allowed to touch other person's bet on the table, most especially once the roullete have started rolling.
The most realistic scenario for that, is to give your friend an advice on what kind of risk he's been into, but touching his bets and replacing it, not gonna happen in reality. Unless you and your friend are drunk af.

I just noticed on this topic, almost most of the commenters do not believe that this movie show is realistic in the real life of people. Which for me is true. But we know that most movies are purely unrealistic, the impossible is made possible in movies, just like in the video we watched.

But if the show is true and it happened to me, I don't know what I can do to my friend, to be honest. I'm sure I won't do well.

Well, its totally true since there are people who cant really be able to control their anger which means that they could really go into that certain extent which you might really be able to kill him in that case.

But not really that worth on killing someone and put yourself in prison forever just for that $300k, which do means that it is really mattering on self control and discipline in towards into your emotions

which you should really know on how to control or stop yourself.Yes, its a big amount but its not really that worthy on taking someones life because of that.

The story is certainly unrealistic so I don’t have to put myself in that situation knowing it will never really happen in real life. And besides, before you start to enter into a casino, you should know already the things that are not allowed to happen, otherwise you’ll be banned there and don’t have the chance anymore to gamble on that certain casino. And for sure a drunk person will never be allowed to enter to gamble.

[Genemind]

Although it's a movie, it will be frustrating if this happens. However, as mentioned several times it's a common etiquette not to touch a bet once it is placed. I believe at some point some might happen in real life, like believing in signs when betting. He did not lose $350,000 but lost the opportunity to win it. If you are to make a situation realistic, let's say example if you asked a friend or someone to place a bet on your behalf and they forgot to do it and found out you hit a jackpot, I am sure you will feel the frustration and be mad for losing the opportunity to win a jackpot. But I will not get to the point where I will hurt my friend or someone because of it.

It's not a matter of realistic or not. Op, has explained it before in his thread. that what happened in the trailer of the film, would not be possible in the real world. because, the things a friend did to take and replace betting coins that didn't belong to him, violated the casino's terms and rules.

However, what Op is questioning is. what if this happened in the real world, without relating to violations of the rules of the casino.  and what are we going to do, if such thing happens to. remembering that the money that should have been won, was not a small amount of money. thus, nearly 90% percent of the people who should have earned the $350,000 would be outraged. fatally there will be chaos that might lead to things of physical violence, even this fight and chaos will continue outside the casino.

well, fortunately this only happens in a movie and will not happen in the real world.

[Kasabus]

He particularly chose Black 15 for $10K on roulette which he could have won $350,000 but a friend took the $10K and replace a safer bet. I know this is likely not to happen in real life. But let's say it did. What would you do?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fT4GcK6Dpkk
I was trying to look for Kevin Hart movies on Netflix so I found one. Turns out one scene is an unsatisfying win.

Well you didn't lose $350,000, you lost $10,000 only. If you are going to think this way, every time you place a $1 bet in slots and lose, you may as well say you lost $10,000 which isn't true. Maybe yes, you can say that you lost the chance of winning $10,000, that would make more sense but still weird.

Well, if that is something that happened to me because of my friend, I guess we both would regret and laugh it off. I am sure he is feeling much more shittier than me. But things like this never happen in real life. Once you place the chips, there is no taking back.

What you’ll lose is only the amount you bet, and not your expected profits. But no matter how it goes, a loss will remain a loss. So just leave it with that. And if this will happen to me in real life, I guess all I have to say is better luck next time. And definitely end my partnership with this friend of mine since he can’t be reliable at all.

I very much agree with this.

It's really a bad advice to tell someone to use their credit card for luxurious things that in the first place, they are not thinking on splurging with.

Using your credit card for your wants once in a while is okay as long as you have the means to pay it and if you know it to yourself that you are disciplined enough to pay it back before the due date. Spending it to your necessities and to increase your credit score could be a good way to maximize your credit card usage for rewards and points accumulation which you could also utilize in the future.

However, telling someone to use it for gambling just gives me a negative vibe because a person that has a credit card doesn't necessarily mean he's already equipped with financial literacy. Most people especially the new cc holders fall into the trap of borrowing money and ended up accumulating big interest and loans they can't afford to pay. Which could literally ruin their life if ever they'll be victimized by continuous use of credit card without having the right mindset of obligation in paying.

If you dont make yourself that obliged on paying up on the amounts that you have used then you would really be messing up your entire life later on which is something that you wont really want to happen.
I do already have the experience and i had learned up a lesson on very hard way because we know that paying up huge interest is never been simple or easy.There's nothing  you can do but to pay
up since there that agreement which you are really that responsible and obliged on paying up on what you had used. Making use on gambling? You are really just making things
even more worst because once those funds are totally lost then there's nothing you can see on where those funds been used into.

I wouldn't advise for a brawl to breakout, but lessons learned from mistakes as this is one to either expose your friend in true light and for you to know what you can endure.
I would advice myself next time and follow my heart.

If anyone has a brawl with a friend because he lost a bet, it shows how immature he is. Friendship should not be traded for money no matter what happens. What if he had won the bet would he be quarrelling with his friend? No. The bettor should take responsibility for his loss and not put the blame on someone else. Adults take responsibility when things go bad and not trade blames.

Yes, I agree with what you say, but unfortunately the majority of people do not think that way, when it comes to money many people transform and do not recognize friendship or have any shame in doing whatever they give them their money, This is something that you should see very well when doing business with someone, especially when it is with a friend, because there is trust and you know how the person is, I would never put money first in a friendship, the person should be My same comp level so that I can fully understand the risks of a business and what it entails to be able to take them to a scenario where things go wrong and I cannot have control, that is where true friendship is seen.

sometimes money can act as an augmented lens
it'll make some traits of personality bigger
this results in some people becoming more greedy and aching to have power and others to be more prone to charity and good acts of will.
