just to see how honest people are really. Mine is pretty tame:

A mate got me to order something for them online using my PC and credit card (as they have neither) for £35. They gave me the me cash, i ordered the item and gave it to them once it was delivered. All above board ......... apart from the company never charged my card and this was about a year ago. I said nothing! :o

I took £300 from my flatmate's room and gambled with it.

Meh.

Ouch, that's pretty damn awful. :mad:

I've never ripped anyone off, but I have lent a friend £200 because he was in such a dire situation and needed £200 toward paying off past rent and getting himself back on his feet. I think he's getting somewhere now, and has a new job too. He would've ended up on the street if it weren't for me, so I like to think I did something honest and good.
 
Nice going mame. I'd have done the same, he didn't get ripped off, and you got a sort of card "rental" charge.

I've not really had the opportunity to rip off any of my friends, so I haven't. I would if it was the same case as yours, but not something that's actually harsh on them.

No. Any gamber who says they've won "overall" is lying.

I paid most of it back. I think I still owe him about £50. He was very nice about it when he should have bounced me off the walls.

Or lucky. :p

Overall in poker I've won about #40 more than I've lost.

Edit: I've only played it for money like 3 times, too.

When you have a gambling problem you're in a different place mentally. You think you can win everything back and the 'next go' will settle everything. It's really poor. Thankfully I haven't done it for years now.

You're not totally wrong there.
 
not getting charged for it isnt ripping off your mate. It's a clerical error by the company in your favour.

Can't say i've ever ripped off a mate, but i've been pretty cruel to my enemies

:D

I like your style. But you do need to get some better mates.
 
nope, I've charged them interest on lending them money but i wouldn't really call it ripping them off, more like helping them out in a tight spot and they offered to repay the favour
 
never ripped off a mate but i sold a work collegue a broken phone for 20 quid before :) oh and i also sold students in our town centre some mud pretending it was something illegal when i was about 12 (wrapped it up tight in clingfilm lol)
 
I have about 6 friends who I am 100% sure would never screw me over and visa versa. I don't understand how mates can screw other mates over really... I suppose I'll learn the hard way eventually. :(
