Pay up! Don't Gamble again!

Yep.

If you aren't willing to do it, don't say it.

 

Is "the price to pay" a monetary one or a sexual one?

 

Don't bet something you can't afford to lose, even if it's a no-lose bet.

 

Care to divulge any other details of the story?

At first it sounded like you didn't agree to the bet...but then it sounds like you committed with your little cherry on top.

If it were me I would pay.

Nothing wrong with gamling, but don't EVER put something on the line you can't/won't follow through on.

Besides, it should be painful to lose. If you can't feel it, you're not betting enough.

 

No matter how much money you have or how high you go, there are only two things you ever really own. These are:

1. Your education.
2. Your integrity.

No matter what happens to you. If you are beaten, threatened, tortured, hurt beyond your fears. These belong to you. If you give them up, you are lost. Keep them!






QUOTE=62 250 GTO;136621439]My problem is I lost and as all hard core gamblers know, there are bets that come along where you KNOW you can't lose. Well I lost and now being the gambler I am, I have a price to pay. I've always paid up and on time but this one is almost stupid.

Story:

A friend who I usually gamble with offered me a bet and I thought he was kidding, so I laughed and told him why, I thought it was a weak bet for him. It turned out he was serious and now I had to back pedal just to keep him interested in the bet He brought to ME. Well damn, he was ready to back out and I added on a little something that I shouldn't have added... and lost the damn bet.

Is begging /weaseling out of a bet a pride killer for life?[/QUOTE]

 

Nothing says it better than the following gem from "Guys and Dolls":

One of these days in your travels, a guy is going to show you a brand-new deck of cards on which the seal is not yet broken. Then this guy is going to offer to bet you that he can make the jack of spades jump out of this brand-new deck of cards and squirt cider in your ear. But, son, do not accept this bet, because as sure as you stand there, you're going to wind up with an ear full of cider.

That's a tough pill to swallow, man, but chalk it up to a learning experience and move on. Before you have to learn another lesson the hard way, here's another piece of advice - don't "chase" your money.

In "Confessions of a Winning Poker Player," Jack King said, "Few players recall big pots they have won, strange as it seems, but every player can remember with remarkable accuracy the outstanding tough beats of his career." It seems true to me, cause walking in here, I can hardly remember how I built my bankroll, but I can't stop thinking about the way I lost it. - Rounders

 

Pay 'em.

Learn the life lesson and move on.

What was the bet anyway? Sounds like it wasn't such a sure thing afterall.... Except in the case of a metaphysical certitude, wagering things you can't afford to lose isn't a smart policy.

pay up and drive the car with pride. when people see you in it they'll know you're a honorable man who keeps his word and pays his debts. they'll be laughing with you and your pal may let you off early when he sees you're not welching.

 

Try double or nothing with a pink VW Beetle convertable... and sweeten the pot with one of your testicles! I think you could still win this thing!

 

Whoooaaa a card game??? A "sure thing"??? You really are weird I was expecting the bet to be something like he was trying to tell you that the Empire State building is the tallest structure in the world or something. I'm almost afraid to know what the card game was.............

i would only pay if i had the means to do so. if its going to interfere with financial decisions i'd tell my "friend" that the time is unfavorable to pay up.

if the tables were turned i would have no problems brushing something like that off. a retarded bet should mean nothing to real life circumstances

 

Wait... so all you have to do is put more miles on the odometer than any other car you own individually, or combined?

Just drive it around town for about 20-30 miles, then walk/bus it to wherever you need to go for the rest of the year... hehehe.

On second thought... thats a bad idea...

but do it if your friend insists on you doing so.

 

Pay Up!

And then get a custom plate that reads... "LOSTABET"
