sounds like he said, "here, i'm not going to use this" ... in that case, give him 2 benjis and call it a day ... don't think you need to split it 50/50, whatever you do ...

I've given my card out to people to use the free play money. . . it expires, so if I have no intention of using it before it does, I am not losing anything.

I usually hand them the card and pin # and tell them if they win big, double my contribution and they can keep the rest. Now, it's never happened that they have won (or at least I never heard about it!), but had they been in a situation such as yours, there is no way I would take $550 from my friend . . . hell, I would be content with just turning the $25 free play into $25 in cash!

I highly doubt your friend will be expecting half of your winnings. Sure, talk to him about it and see what he thinks- even give him half if that is what you decide. But I would be very surprised if he takes it.

How long did you play? If you played for awhile, dont split it right down the middle because he gets the points. Give him $500 and keep $600 and buy him lunch. That way ypu both still come out way ahead. Nobody should complain.



Good answer.

so you used someone else's money and hit the jackpot on that draw or over time and you used more money.

if you hit it on his money, pay the man or you are a dishonest person.

if you hit the jackpot over time and his 25 was a percentage of what you played pay him the percentage in winnings or you are a dishonest person.

Split it down the middle.

And when I say "split" it, I mean give him half of the "100 bucks" you won.

This a test by the gambling gods to see if you do the right thing, if you split it with him you're going to get some good karma kick back the next time you gamble.

Your luck won the money. I would give him like 250 bucks, he should be cool with that since if he would have played the money he might not have won anything. But if he disagrees than you can negotiate up split it in half. He shouldn't get more than half of the winnings though.

Just split it dude, its only 500 dollars, not a million. You'll still be up 500 anyway. Or try doubling it and give him a thousand.

Friend > 500 dollars.

Unless he's a dick. But I doubt it cause he gave you his free play

He may find out about it ,if the rewards card tracks such things, and be pissed if you don't even mention it.

How did you get this free $25 from him? Was it something he would have otherwise used?

Split it. Dont be a douche bag for 500.00. You'll have 500 bucks worth of problems (or more) if you dont.

besides you will feel bad and ask the TD about that too. Dont start shitty threads.
