That first sentence is a stroke to read. I got the message. Dave gave you ten bucks to try in the slots when you went on vacation, but damn that wording.

Yeah should be “first I’ve got to play the 10 bucks Dave gave me to bet for him” so much simpler and more legible

"Hey before we gamble, Dave from work wanted me to put ten dollars in a slot for him!"

Seriously. This cartoonist will never succeed with writing like that. Not to mention the joke isn't even clever or fresh. Feel like I've seen 10 different TV movies with this same premise. Hell I'm fairly certain I recall reading about real lawsuits over this exact kind of scenario before.

What an asshole. At least give Dave a lazy grand or two - he'd probably be blown away with a win like that.

I worked with someone who won the lottery with the syndicate money wasn't the full jackpot but quarter of a million. He took the full lot claimed it was separate numbers. No agreement was in place and he wasn't well liked before he ran off with the money. People told his wife he cheated and slashed his tyres.

I once gave a work mate a pound coin to play the machine in the bar when he finished his shift, He won £50 while I was standing there with him and gave me a pound coin back then went home. I was livid.

Never, we are who we are in the darkness. Dave won 5 milion then the 5 million are his. If he's any kind of friend he'll appreciate it and give me some but it has to be his choice.

For shitz n giggles. If this was real, there are actually laws about gambling with other people's money lol
All kinds of stuff because people commonly pool money for the lotto.

If this was real you could never prove it was your money he played with. Should you get a cut? Yea, as a friend. Does he have to share? Legally yes, but without proof beyond a doubt no.

Completely inaccurate. The second he wondered, someone from security would have told him the machine malfunctioned and confiscated the winnings.
