To not share winnings with friend?

[flouiserain]

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?

You know when you won £750 and gave her half?

I guarantee that if she won even a tenner with the half of YOUR money that you give to her, you would be seeing a penny of the winnings.

Don’t just stop the casino with her, drop her entirely. What an entitled bitch!

Why on earth do you halve your winnings with her when she doesn't play?

Are you mad?
This person isn’t a friend
Don’t go to the casino with her or anywhere else with her.
What a cheeky fucker

This has to be made up surely no one is that much of a pushover?

Does she play a different game at the casino?

Because unless you play the slots and she plays whatevergame and you split the winnings of both she's being utterly unresonable!

Like I say the first time we ever went which was years ago I only played £5 and we won about £20 and we used it on cocktails then after that she just expected it,she is my closest friend not just a random friend so didn't want to upset her or possibly loose our friendship.

Saying "no" is difficult when someone is conditioned themselves to only hearing you say "yes". But you have to start somewhere, and this is a good example.

Remember, it's not you that's in the wrong here! Yes, you've allowed the situation to develop like this - but you can do what you like with your money. If you were happy to share in the past but now feel you are being taken advantage of, it's your right to stop.

I think you know she is taking the piss but are reluctant to upset her. But you have to draw the line somewhere, and only you can decide exactly where that is.

We both just sit at the same machine as she doesn't play.
We take it in turns to spin it.
You get a bonus where you pick stones and that's where you win the big money really.

If she can afford to go to the casino which even if you don't play is not a cheap place to drink pick a new venue. She's crazy to think she's got any right to your cash

I'm livid you have been giving her half of your winnings! End this madness now.

Technically your winnings are the final amount minus your original stake. So £750 - £20 = £730. Then you should half that. So £40 - £20 = £20. Therefore to split the winnings would be £10 each.

She sounds like a fucking arsehole.

Agree with others - stop giving her money - she is becoming greedy and entitled.

By all means, buy her a drink to celebrate if you win, but for her not to even put a quid on the table is disgraceful!

As someone else has said though she actually wanted all the profit - not sure you need a friend like that if I'm honest. It was perfectly reasonable that you wanted to keep playing but stop at £20 so you were not out of profit. If she can't see that.....

I would feel obliged to share my winnings with my friend, it all depends who you are as a person. And in that I’m not saying anything bad about those who wouldn’t.

But, seriously fuck her off. She’s probably a close friend to you because you give and she takes. It’s cool if your willing to uphold that friendship, has she ever done the same for you with money? Would she?

If not then yeah, you probably need to look at your friendship and whether she’s worth having.

This woman is not a friend. She just likes you giving her money! I can't believe you split YOUR £750 winnings with her - you deserve better friends. Cut & run.

Why would you be worried about losing this "friendship"? She sounds like an absolute arsehole. What a horrible, greedy, grabby cow.

Sack her right off and keep your money.

If we go to the bingo with friends then we agree to split any winnings as we all are playing. My husband plays the slot machine and he keeps his winnings as only he plays, same with the mini bingo, I keep my winnings as only I play them. I can't believe you split the £750 with her 😱

This is completely bonkers! So you pay £20, and if you win £40 you get £20 (which covers what you already spent) you haven't really won anything and your df gets £20 when she started off with nothing?

This is not a serious dilemma... Surely??

Echoing PPs when I say if you went half you would be coming away with nothing, really you've only won £20 so why would you give it to her? @BabySharkAteMyHamster has got it spot on, stop being a mug!!!!

Your friend expecting half
Your winnings is CF!!!!

Your "friend" is the one who is spoiling the friendship, not you.
It's up to you to decide when you are finished playing and if you are going to give her anything.

Tell her to 'get used' to not getting any of your money.

Wow I really thought some people would agree with my friend.
I guess my since of reality is a bit off with this.

Does she ever share your losses? No, thought not.
