MONEY MORAL DILEMMA: Should Tyrone take Jack's car?

nej

No he shouldn't keep the car. It's his best mate for crying out loud. We don't know what the stakes were until the car keys hit the pot. Higher and higher could mean anything. They might normally play for pennies, and maybe the stakes went to £50 or £100. That would be Ok, but keeping a car would ruin the friendship.

lol. You can tell Jenny doesn't play poker. You can only play with cash that's already on the table. None of this I'll raise you a house/car crap. That stuff only happens on only fools and horses etc.

No, he should not keep the car. While it is unrealistic and would not happen in real life ("I raise you my car") it was a 'friendly flutter', so no.

robpw2

yes he should take the car as a bet is a bet ..

Keep the car for a week or even a day to rub his nose in the stupid bet, worry him and put an end to future stupid bets. Next time, set a reasonable table limit.

He should keep the car for a few days. Then return the car and give Jack some friendly advice about his gambling, other people might not be so charitable next time.

Anyhow, Jack needs the car to get to Vera's funeral

it depends would he have returned his money had he won ( i think not)

also what does the table normally go up to if they play regularly

as a mate i would say no dont keep the car but if in the past the games have reached 1k before and Tyrone has lost a few times its just the game evening up
they should have kept a recorded of winnings and loses to see how things are evening up as we dont know whether or not jack walks away each week winning £500 in which case keep the car

I wd take the motor off the stupid man - he staked it - & let him have it back after a coupla weeks,on condition that we change the rules to playing for pennies only!;) Serious gambling is seriously stupid.

Exactly my thoughts. The man only just lost his wife!

Kidding. I think he should give him the advice definately - people shouldn't gamble with friends - play for quality street chocolates or something - make it FUN not fraught. And stop drinking so much, eejit.

Didn't know Jack had a car!
