I worked out a deal with a friend of mine. I would stake her, but she would eventually have to pay back what she lost in make-up if she never got out of make-up. She agreed. She ended up down 700 in make-up. She was paid me back 300 and said she was sorry it was taking so long to pay me back. Recently when I asked her for the rest of the money, she claimed to not owe me anything and that I was just letting her freeroll on me. I know she knows she is lying, which makes me very mad. Now she deals at the casino I play at every day. When I see her face I want to punch it. What should I do?

I know the right answer is to forget about it. But I hate that people assume she is a good person, when she is a selfish, lying thief. What are my options here? And in general what can I do when I hate a dealer? Maybe everything is my fault and I need to learn to avoid tilt at all costs, even when Satan is pitching cards to me.

Please don't say "just get over it" unless you have some jedi mind trick I can use to get over it... I know I should let go of the 400 dollars... But do I have to pretend to be friends with her when she says hi at the casino? Does being rude to her do anything but make me look like a dick?

thanks in advance for your responses.

Are there any other casinos available in your area?

You don't have to be friendly, but in front of others you probably shouldn't be rude. Witnesses would very likely just feel sorry for her and think you were a prick.

get over it lolol

His question is underlined. YW.

Not sure I understand your staking arrangement. If she wins you get a piece and if she loses she has to pay you back everything you staked?

Is that really how these arrangements work?

As for your question, let it go. Do not gamble with money you can not afford to lose. Staking is gambling.

what happens at your casino if you dont tip the dealer? does the dealer get their tips or do they go into a pool

if it happened to be the case where the dealer at the table gets the tips for that table then its fun to think that the following would work..... take a paper and pen and write $400 at the top next time you go, everytime you win a pot she deals, count out what you'd tip, then subtract it from the current number on the page and say out like "$360 to go"...of course that wont end well but its a fun revenge idea............or just get over it or dont play where she deals (but then she wins)

also this another example of why lending money to friends isnt a good idea

Don't do that. First off.

#2 Stop giving girls money unless you're getting laid. What are you stupid or somethin!

Lol. This is the best advice itt.

Don't tip her when you're playing at her table.

There's no law forcing you to tip dealers and if anyone asks why you're not tipping, just tell them she owes you a bunch of money.

After a while of doing that, depending on how often you play there, you'll have made your money back, at which point you still shouldn't tip her.

I agree with this poster. I don't understand how that was really a stake at all. If anything you should have just "loaned" her money at a certain APR. I realize how frustrating it is to have someone not pay you money back that they promised they would, but if she went busto did you really expect her to somehow come up with the money to pay you back. If she could she probably would have just saved it up in the first place to play with her own cash.

If her name is Worm, you could get in good with her again and have the cards dealt in your favor

Exactly this. When "loaning" money to friends you can not consider it a loan. If you are going to make sure it is a small enough amount that you can consider a gift. If you happen to get it back great. Many times when loaning to friends you either get stuck sucking up the loss or you lose a friendship in the recovery process. Either way sucks.

Bottom line: Dont "loan" money to friends with the absolute expectation of getting it back, especially in a timely fashion.

That's bull****. I don't know what your friends are like, but you have the friends you choose to associate with given your own values.
It's a question of integrity.
It doesn't matter what amount of money it is.
If I tell one of my friends it's a "loan", I'm implying that the money means enough to me that I'll need it back.
And I will get it back and have always gotten it back 100% of the time.
If the money is inconsequential to me, neither of us will even mention it and nothing happened.
People who don't understand that and exploit their "friend" image to get away with not giving you your money back have no integrity whatsoever and are obviously not your friends.

I truly feel sorry for you, since this is obviously your experience of friendship.
