Gambling ethical question, sort of....

I would say in your situation to give a small share(10% maybe) as long as you are still up in terms of cash input vs cash output(profit) but she is definitly not entitled to anything.
But in general, who ever "instructs" the bet should be entitled to it all.
If you gave her money and said please play this machine for me, and she played the machine next to you and won, you would be entitled to the money.
If you have get the money and said go spend/play but didnt say for yourself, and she won, then she is entitled to it. (In fairness she should at least give you your money back).

A 60/40 split in this situation is unfair I think. They should be entitled to nothing.

Long term it does not matter as you will on average lose. Gambling is kind of a tax on people that are bad at math, so what happens in the middle for the odd win is immaterial. The correct answer is don't hand over your cash to a casino.

Nah, I think he did it the right way. They went for a night out, kept a budget in mind, even though she lost hers and started playing with his, as long as they stick to the agreed loss amount, they're good.
 
It's devil money so spend that **** as soon as possible
 
The other way to think of the money split is what happens later that night if you are generous? Like I assume you gamble as some form of entertainment? Getting some brownie points for the main show later is a valid strategy man.

I love gambling, well the games. If you play for fun and not money you can't go wrong. I usually play R200, sometimes last 5 minutes, sometimes last 3 hours. I always try to spend all money but sometimes when you don't wanna win you do and end up playing for hours :laugh:

I must be gambling in the wrong places :unsure:

Thats why I only play blackjack and poker every now and then.
 
SO and I don't share in terms of money. My money is our money and his money is our money.
We've ever had any issues to date :cool:

The only craps table left in the country, as far as I know, is at Monte. There used have at ex Caesars, but they took them out, I actually asked someone from their management the other day why they took it out, the answer was some mumble.

Waste of space.
 
I'm so confused.

Is it the wife...is it the ex...is it the side chick? What the **** is going on?

Why call them a family member instead of just who they are?
