Today, I lent my sister $1000 because she and her husband were in some debt. They used the money to go gambling in Vegas and won a major jackpot. They won't even give me a cut. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mother asked me if she could borrow $200. Being the lovely daughter I am, I gave her my bank card to withdraw it herself. She gambled it away and maxed my bank account out. I had $1500 saved. FML
Today, I placed $20 in a slot machine at a casino and in a matter of 5 minutes lost it all. My sister then sat at the same machine, put her $20 in and quadrupled her money. FML
Today, I found out my mother-in-law sold a precious family heirloom and gambled away the money. FML
Today, I went to a casino with $300 to spend and somehow walked out with $21K. When I told my wife, she sighed and moaned about how annoying taxes will be, and how I should have pushed my luck further. The house always wins, even when it loses. FML
Today, I went to the casino and put $500 into a game and lost it all. I tried another $100 and won it all back, plus some. Instead of walking out ahead, I kept trying to hit bigger and ended up losing all my rent money. Rent is due and now I can’t pay it. FML
Today, my girlfriend pawned in her mother's engagement ring so she could gamble at the pokies. FML
Today, my sister stole my credit card, used it to rack up a small debt, then told my mom she will pay me back in the future one day, “happily”. But not right now because she has better things to spend her money on. FML
Today, I let my dad put my dollar in the slot machine for me because I'm not old enough to gamble. I won $200 but he kept it because he "put the dollar in the slot machine." FML
Today, my sister finally broke down and told me that our dad gambled away of all my college savings, and I would have to pay for school the best way I can. They have known for months, and when I asked why nobody told me, the reply was, "You're a college boy, we thought you would figure it out." FML
Today, I found out my mom took around $2,500 from my savings account to pay off my sister's college tuition. She recently flunked out of her studies and won't be returning to college anyway. FML

That's stupid. You should at least get back the money you "lent" them.

I see key word "lent" not "gave" I do not think they understand the concept of lent

Whenever you find money at their house take it.

You shouldn't get a cut of it. They took the risk, not you. You are entitled to your $1000 back, but no more. If they had lost it at the casinos, would you have shouldered some of that loss?

Wait a while, the sister will waste the money and be in worse condition later. I've seen it again and again, if you've not had any time to change and did not work to change, you will do the same thing again and again. Look up poor lottery winners, most end up broke or worse than before.

What ever happened to doing nice things for loved ones without hanging it over then when they have some good luck. I feel bad this happened, but move on

Unless you had a verbal or physical contract that states that they HAVE TO pay you back then they owe you nothing OP.

If they returned the $1000, that's all they owed you. Sucks, but that's life. Just refuse to loan them any more in the future, because while they got lucky once, it was terribly irresponsible to gamble debt money.
