What I took away from this experience is how the mentality of gamblers can change after a win. The thrill of success often leaves us wanting more and in this case it seemed like my friend was caught in that cycle, as I was feeling before too and he was unable to honor his word probably because he wanted to keep increasing his gains and bet more. It's a reminder that the brain is never truly satisfied when gambling, there's always the desire for more. I believe that friend deserves an advice, but I don’t want to embarrass him myself, is there a good way to talk to him without making him feel that Im indirectly asking him for the money he promised me?
There's no other way. You have to tell him directly, like to honor his promise about giving you 10% of his winning, but if its ok for you and he did not honor it, then you also have to directly tell him, because if you do not and he loses all the money he won, he will end up blaming you for not reminding him about your shares that he promised.
I experienced that myself and was blamed for not reminding the guy of what was promised to me. Gamblers have twisted minds when winning and losing it afterwards. Cheesy
It would really be just that a waste of friendship if ever this one wont really be that clarified out specially if OP isnt really that going after for the money but his friend do really trying out to avoid just because he dont wanna give that amount as he promised but well since OP isnt really that asking nor its just fine on not to get his share at least then its a good sign that he's really that not into money but rather on the friendship and relationship that he has with his friend on which i could say that this is more valuable rather than with that 10% amount. Its really just that sad that there are indeed people who are really that
ready on exchanging anything for the sake of money and doesnt really give out at least some importance about on things on which it do end up on having that kind of break of relationship.
