[b]Loaning $'s to Someone For Gambling?[/b]

Generally speaking not a good idea...

I have done so many times in the past and have some good stories and some bad stories, luckily not that huge... but hundreds of dollars, nonetheless...

Let's be positive, I will focus on a couple good stories:

[LIST=1]
[*]Loaned a buddy (who had an excellent credit rating with me) $100 at the racetrack.  I incorrectly assumed this would last him the rest of the evening, and I would buy the beers for the rest of the night.)  He immediately ran to the window and bet the $100 on a random 8-1 horse at a random track.  By some miracle, the 8-1 shot won, and 10 minutes later I had my $100 back plus $100 interest and he bought beers the rest of the night!
[*]An acquaintance of mine (no credit rating with me) was getting heavily harassed at the track by a Multimillionaire Guy for $100 that he had not paid back as promised from a week earlier.  I got so tired of listening to this abuse, that I paid the guy the $100 and told him to leave the guy alone.  A few weeks later, the guy that I had paid the debt for comes up and taps me on the shoulder, says "5 min to post, the 4 horse is 10-1 and cannot lose, here is your hundred, go put it on him to win!".  Being happy to get paid back, but skeptical of the "tip", I put $20 on the horse and it won easy.

Best of Luck at the Tables (and track if you dare),
