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?

It is. Especially when you do the maths properly.

You broke even with that last win, she expected to gain £20, for smiling at you and playing nice!

*sense of reality

Does she ever give you any cash when you lose? Obviously not. The thing is you will be winning more than you lose so she needs to understand you’re still paying for her to have a fun night out. Get a sheet of paper and write down what you spent and won over the last few months. Then show it to her. It will be an eye opener for you as well hopefully.

You’ve shared £750?!?

You need to,stop going with her or establish new boundaries.
It looks like she is in lyngoing with you to get some money whilst not taking any risk at all. CF!!!

She puts in no money yet expects you to share every prize with her, even huge ones like £750??????

Fuck a doodle do.

Sorry, OP, she is no friend. She's a greedy user.

A true CF!

Does she pay halves on the meal, or does she pay for you too? I'm just clutching at straws here, but I wondered if she pays for the meal and then you pay for the slots, which would make a touch more sense.

If you value this friendship, stop going to the casino with her. She thinks you're basically paying her for her company.

Put your foot down and say no. She’s taking the mick and you’re letting her.

"Wow I really thought some people would agree with my friend."

Whaaaaaaat???

Why?

When you won £750, I think that giving her £50 would have been a kind gesture.

Can you honestly not see why this is wrong, OP?

She’s tricked you into thinking it’s normal to give money to your friends and get nothing in return. You need to step back from this friendship - it’s dysfunctional.

You are her cash machine, of course she’s going to kick off when she’s not getting the free money she’s come to expect. Say no from now on and say she needs to play her own cash. You can still go to the casino but if she wants money she needs to cough up.

A true friend would just be pleased for you that you had won. They wouldn't expect a pay out. She is no true friend, despite what you think.

Does your friend help you out with money too? Or is the flow in one direction from you to her?

I literally cannot believe what I'm reading... your friend is taking the absolute PISS out of you OP

If you want to keep giving her half your winnings, that's up to you (though I think it's crazy). However, if you're just doing it keep her from getting mad at you, I'd say that might be a sign that she's not quite as good a friend as you think.

If the roles were reversed, would you be angry at her for wanting to keep her own winnings?

It might be awkward when you first change the "rules" of the casino outings, but she'll either get over it or you'll know what she's really like (i.e. either not worth the bother or at least not a good friend to take to the casino).

WTF this is nuts, stop going to the casino with her (the food can’t be that good surely )

I once won $14,000 on a Vegas slot machine.
If I had been with a very, very close friend I might have given them $1,000 or paid for a few great nights out.
If we had both been playing and I was the lucky one I would probably go halves with them.
No way would I have split the winnings if the other person always gambled fuck all.

Wow she's a cf!!

Text her and say "Heading to the casino Monday night if you are interested? Saying it now in advance in case I am lucky that I won't be sharing winnings anymore. You never actually play and last night I was a bit taken aback that you were happy for me to break even and you make £20 off my money. Anything over £50 and I'll buy a drink "

I actually wouldn't be that nice but I appreciate she is a friend you don't want to lose either so that's firm but nice

How can she take any winnings off you when she doesn't pay to play? She has no shame

She is a taker, not a friend.

This reminds me of an espisode of Moving On by Jimmy McGovern. Two friends who went to bingo and equally contributed, agree to share winnings. One wins the Jackpot and refuses to share. YANBU as your friends doesn’t even contribute!

"Heading to the casino Monday night if you fancy it. Your shout, isn't it?"

You were foolish for giving her half anyway! Too nice!

This is like the Spandau Ballet royalties battle.
Greedy cow, her not you.

Bingo-zilla! Does your friend frequent soft play at all? Seriously though, she is majorally taking the piss!

Why the hell are you going halves, they are your winnings. Your a pushover and she's a cheeky fucker. Stop going to the casino with her, she should not be going if she has no money.
