AIBU?
To not share winnings with friend?
flouiserain · 11/10/2018 14:37
Me and my friend went to the casino last night for a meal.
Every time I go I always give myself £20 to play on the slots.
My friend never puts money in herself but I always share,she says she doesn't have anything to put in (min stake is 50p ) but I always half winnings.
Once I won £750 and have her half.
Last night I put in the £20 and on my last spin won £40.
She proceeded to say I might as well withdraw the £40 and go halfys as it's better than loosing.
I said I wanted to play with the £40 as I would be back to where I started at £20.
She kicked off saying she could really use that £20 and I wouldn't win anyway.
Wibu here?

I think you need to stop going to the casino with this friend!
PlateOfBiscuits · 11/10/2018 14:39
Err why are you going half with her under these circumstances?
Stinkbomb · 11/10/2018 14:39
Why on earth do you share your winnings with her? It's your money, if you want to gamble with it, it's up to you.
But when the fun stops, stop.

Well obviously shes a cheeky cow. And not really a friend is she?
MissingSummer · 11/10/2018 14:39
No! It's your money, you really have no obligation to give her anything.
CuriousaboutSamphire · 11/10/2018 14:40
So, you win, she gets half, you lose, you lose 100%?
What exactly does she add to your life?
From here it looks like you are being taken for a mug!

I wouldn’t half my winnings, she hasn’t brought anything to the table!
flouiserain · 11/10/2018 14:40
I shared the first time and now she kinda just expects it.
Although she has never put so much as £1 in which annoys me.
CherryValance · 11/10/2018 14:41
YANBU. You've been so nice that she expects cash from you now! As they say, no good deed goes unpunished.
KC225 · 11/10/2018 14:41
I can see what's in it for her but not for you. She doesn't play but gets half your winnings. You need to play equally, to split.
theWarOnPeace · 11/10/2018 14:41
Are you joking about giving half of £750 when she put nothing in?! That is bonkers, so I can see why she thought you’d be up for giving over the twenty quid. Stop the madness 😱
longwayoff · 11/10/2018 14:41
Crikey flouise. Get better friend. She is mega CF with bells on.
Disfordarkchocolate · 11/10/2018 14:42
I don't understand why you have ever given her any winnings. Play your own money and keep your own winnings from now on, and if you provide the stake you get to choose when to stop playing.
Nanasueathome · 11/10/2018 14:43
If you start with £20 and win £40....do you then have £60?
If you start with £20 and have £40 after gambling and then give her £20 then you are no better off than if you hadn’t won anything at all but your friend is £20 up
flouiserain · 11/10/2018 14:45
Everyone else has said exactly what you all have said.
I know I've been stupid but now we are at a point and she expects it ..last night was the first time I said no and didn't go down well.
PassMeTheHaribosAmego · 11/10/2018 14:46
Can I come to the casino with you flouiserain ?
Seriously
Stop giving her your money
DartmoorDoughnut · 11/10/2018 14:47
WTAF?! You’re paying for her to gamble and giving her half of your winnings if you win? Are you a bank? Can I have some money?!
AamdC · 11/10/2018 14:47
Just dont go to the casino again with her surely if she asks tell her why.
WhichSchoolForDS · 11/10/2018 14:49
What a cheeky cow! I can't believe you gave her more than £300 for nothing. Dump the cheeky mare and go with a better friend.
IfyouseeRitaMoreno · 11/10/2018 14:51
So she wanted you to give her £20 which would have left you with £0 profit and her with £20 although she did nothing.
Hmmm. By the logic of sharing the winnings you should give her £10.
But really you should give her zilch and dump her CF arse!
