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

I love how everyone is making the OP the asshole when her sister begged the money off her just to gamble it away like an idiot. They just got lucky and won. And a cut of the winnings would be paying back the money they were lent.

Pretty original

When they blow the money (which they will) and come crying to you for help again, just tell them to **** off. Oh. And demand you get your money back right now. And charge intrest.

If you give someone money an they use it to go to a casino and win money legally it's the persons money who went to the casino.

white16sox 19
148 yes, but OP gave them the money to pay debts, not to gamble. I believe OP should get a small cut + the $1000 OP lent to their sister.

You can only ask for the grand back - you aren't entitled to anything else... Even so, it would be nice if they "rewarded your generosity"...

Bull Shit#148, if the money was to pay bills, then it should never have gone to Vegas. If they agreed it was ok to gamble it, then yes it's the winners unless they agreed to give part, but they still owe the $1000.

but it was a loan so they are entitled the initial loan back

The OP won't win in court. If she lent her family $1000. then that is all she is going to get back, not the /cut/ she "thinks" she deserves. The OP wants extra. No judge is going to give it to her because that's not their contract/agreement.
Soloman212 28
We're not talking about any court of law; just basic family generosity. But of course, the OP has no right to ask for more than $1000.

learn to count cards, then gamble against them to win it back. or just kill them, that might be easier.

I'll go with the third one. Which is still not an option.

Kindly remind them that "you" gave them money for "debt"! Gambling in Vegas doesn't seem to be much of a debt! However, the next time they have debt, and they ask for money, kindly remind them that you don't give money for Vegas vacations!
22cute 17
This is stupid. If they had lost your money in Vagas you wouldn't expect part of the loss to be yours.
cptmorgan6 8
Haha 34, you're too dumb. Part of the loss would be OP's because it was OP's money. And the least they could do is give OP the original $1000 back.
starryxeyes 2
How do we know that OP's sister even asked for the money? Isn't it possible that OP knew they were in debt and just offered up the money and told them to pay it back whenever they could... considering what they used the money for, I think that scenario IS very possible.

You lent them the money. You didn't invest it. So how do you deserve a penny more than what you lent? No risk - No reward.
robertlovespi 3
Actually it was his/her money put at risk so in fact he/she deserves all the winnings. The sister and her husband put nothing at risk as it was not their money.
mario3584 0
Yes, lending means that they pay you back
Jirekianu2 19
Not to mention it was her money they put at risk. She gave it to them for responsible things. Sure, she isn't owed any of the winnings but she should get her ******* money back.
TheRealHouse 7
Technically ops money was not at risk as it was a loan with no mention to op of gambling therefor if they lost they would still have to pay op back, however they seem like the kind of people that wouldn't pay back the loan if they lost it.

20 - If you come back, read #107. Common sense isn't so common I guess.

I'm betting that if he sister had said to her "We're in debt. Can you lend me $1000 so I can go gambling in Vegas" then she probably would have declined, so it's a bit hypocritical to start asking for a cut now.
thaCODgod 4
she took a risk by giving them money
mack_the_knife 3
You didn't invest in their business, you lent them the money. They owe you the money they borrowed not part of the profit they made "investing it", no matter how stupid the investment was .
wtfcammelcheese 0
I think it's more 1 of those moral situations in which he was willing to give money right away and his sister will not giv him nything
poorjudgement 26
I disagree. She is greedy for asking for cut. Gee, she is greedy for even thinking about that. 1k is all that she is entitled to.
lmaoatall 6
If the winnings is over 1,100$, the casino files a tax form right there and the winner signs it. A copy is given to them and IRS. The goverment will already know before they file there taxes for the year. If they don't claim it when they file, IRS will go after them. Trust me, I know.
dadof2 4
they would never had won the money further more prob would not have been able to go anyway so yea pay a little extra
ImaginaryFoe 1
I agree. If they were in a lot of debt, they might have felt gambling was the only way to turn the $1,000 they were loaned into enough to cover their debt. If they pay OP back within the agreed upon timeframe, he/she has no legitimate complaint.
dadof2 4
tell them its unreported income subject to taxxes and they need to pay up or mabe the irs finds out ooooppppssss
