To not want to share prizes.

[Toddlerteaplease]

4 of us go to a pub quiz most weeks. There are a couple of other games, that we pay to enter as well, with cash prizes. We all pay for ourselves.
Twice I've won a substantial amount of money and it's been expected that we share it between us. (It had been decided before hand that if one of us won we'd share. I wasn't there for that discussion)
Tonight the trip also wanted to share a smaller prize. That we've never shared before. Because it's not worth it spilt 4 ways.
I have shared because it would be churlish not to. But AIBU to really resent it?!!

You're not unreasonable to resent something if you weren't part of the discussion about splitting prizes or money beforehand. What stopped you saying something the first time though?? If you don't want to split any future wins, just tell them that you'd rather keep any winnings to yourself, but the others are more than welcome to split any of their winnings between the three of them and not you.

I said that I hadn't agreed to that and wasn't overly happy about it. But I didn't want to look mean. If any of them had won I wouldn't expect it to be shared. I'd just be really pleased one of us had won.

£200 would have been very useful!

Agree! I'd rather look mean and have all my winnings!
Weird the would expect a cut!

I'd only share if it was a win due to team effort not if it is a single person entry iykwim?
Tell them you don't want to share and since you haven't agreed to it and you won't expect a share if they win either, that's fair.

Have any of them won previously and shared btw or just yourself?

Only small wins on bingo previously, where sharing was never mentioned. But I'd buy a round of people wanted one. But the two weeks I won were rollovers. So much larger prize than normal.

My friend won £20 today and sharing was mentioned. I said no. It's not worth and she kept it.

Is it a team game/quiz night or bingo? I think if you won the money yourself you just keep it. A team quiz would be different.

The game I won £100 both times was play your cards right and the other is bingo. The quiz prizes are vouchers which we quite rightly share.

Team games shared. Individual games keep. This doesn’t sound like a fun night out.

If you’re bothered, which you are, you need to speak up. They may think you’re mean if they’re all willing to share and you’re not but you’ll just have to accept that. It will be weird if one of them wins and they share between the 3 of them, but not with you as you’re doing it differently.

I’d rather share. That’s how we do it on group nights out. It would be awkward and change the nice feel of the group if one said they wanted to keep theirs.

I go to a similar event and our agreement is that we share. All happy with this. If you don't want to share you will just have to say that from now on you are not doing so. But remember sharing works both ways! You might miss out if others win! It sounds like so far you have won the most so are feeling you'd have liked to have kept it.

We do quiz nights and other stuff and share all winnings.

If you want it to change then you will have to say something and deal with them possibly thinking you’re mean.

When did you find out that it was decided to share? When you won your first £100 or before?

Isn't that a bit like sharing a raffle prize with the rest of the table? It's weird.

Team winnings should be shared, individual winnings should be kept by the winner.

You say you weren’t there for the discussion, but you don’t say if you knew if that was the agreement or if you’d have genuinely disagreed at the time.

It was told that if one of us won it would be shared. I could t disagree without sounding mean. But I did say that I haven't agreed to it!

£100 would have come in very handy!
