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
Collection
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

You loaned your sister $1000 dollars most likely no expecting it back or expecting it back in due time. They win money off of money that you gave them, sorry its no longer your money. and you said they wont give you a cut so obviously you got your money back. Dont be greedy and dont lend family money and expect to profit from it.

Since now neither one of you is hurting for cash, have her donate the grand she owes you to charity and call it even.

Next time see if it's legit before handing out so much money. The second one I seen today. Learn to check before giving that much money away people!

I would expect to be paid back immediately but not to get a cut. Its a bit greedy to expect a cut of the winnings. That's like giving a bum a dollar and he buys a lotto ticket and you expect a cut.

That sucks op! Did they atleast pay your $1000 back?? It would be nice of them to give you a little more just like it was nice of you to lend them money in the first place
