What Do You Give?

one pull? half

sitting and slugging it out? $1k plus a hot dog and a handshake
 
$50 and pack of Now & Laters


or some number that we come up with that is not half of the winnings. I would not expect half that’s for sure

or if it’s my one friend, I would put a handsome down payment on a 2026 Cadillac Escalade V Series
 
This is why we set these expectations before any money is wagered
 
I would split what is left after taxes. I would be the one hit with the taxes. So, I would want to make sure that came out of the total first, then give them the half.

SImilar as above, after taxes and my bar tab, i would be happy to split what is left.
 
I take partner as my wife. I’d buy an unlocked GC3 and give the rest to her to do something “smarter” with. We both win and realistically I expect whatever amount of chips I buy to be a donation when I gamble. I’d expect to go home with $0 of that $50 so a $7-10k LM is gravy.
 
BTW, this happens a lot in the poker world. People get staked and if they lose its on the lender but winnings get split 50/50. I'm sure there are some that do smaller percentages but you here 50 a lot.

That is a totally different scenario though. The investor is there to pay the buy in so there is an already agreed upon split.

I’d probably do around 25k

If I was the one who gave the 50 though I wouldn’t necessarily expect anything other than hopefully that $50 I gave them

This is me
 
50/50
 
Totally depends on who it is and how it was won.

But for arguments sake, one pull on a machine or one roulette spin, if I gave a friend $50 and they won and offered me half, I’d turn it down. It’s their good fortune. I wouldn’t say no to drinks and a meal though. If they insisted on cash only, I think $5k is my max line on being comfortable.
 
10%
 
I would certainly offer to split since they gave me the buy in. Also... I would like to give @Deebo76 $50 and be the friend that gets that down payment.
 
This happened to a friend three years ago. Using borrowed/loaned money he placed a bet on a progressive poker table and hit a Royal. Didn't have a bet on the progressive button but still won almost 50k before taxes. He kept it all and the thought of sharing with the guy who loaned him the cash never came up.
 
Wife, I'll be generous and say she can have it all.

Best friend or good friends - 50/50 all the way.
 
Of the choices listed probably $1,000.
 
Hear me out..... What if we let it ride?

House always wins in the long run...

But, coming up with a sports bet together, letting it ride and watching together would be a good way to do it.
 
I am giving @snafu the 50k
 
Given the answers, I’d probably go $50k or the half equivalent after taxes. If I had literally zero to gamble with, I would have never won it in the first place. $1000 seems like too small a number and giving just the $50 back is practically an insult imo
 
1/2
 
The $50 and then half after taxes.
 
The only way it's real is if my wife gave me cash. I wouldn't take it from anyone else. Therefore it's both of ours anyway.

Good scenario since I would take the "loan" on a round. Probably not giving half but I would offer something...maybe 10%. I would expect them to turn it down and then pay for rounds and drinks for the rest of the year or so.
