Did I do the wrong thing...?
This account is a throwaway for me. I was at a bar in Minnesota, and usually I will throw $20-40 at pull tabs... Tonight i got $50 roll back, but rolled it back in to the "5 dollar box". A guy came up to me and offered to go in with me and i didn't think much of it. I do this with my friends all of the time. I thought to myself that an extra 10 tix would be great espeicallyt if we hit big and could split. well as gambling goes we didn't win.. Next think I know this guy comes up to me with 20 more tickets promising to splits -50 bucks. I thought cool, he had an extra 100 to throw at it. Well i mean its gambling and we didn't win crap. All that to say was this just kept going on thru the bar closing. He probably spend over 2k on pull tabs and the most he got was a $100 tab to roll back... I feel like a shitty human because he kept promising me a split I knew i probably would never see, but I didn't stop him. I feel awful becaue his wife kept calling him to come home, he kept on going to the ATM... I mean I dont know. Did i enable a problem gambler? I just thought it wasn't my problem but the guilt is killing me at this point about the whole night knowing this guy couldn't even have $20 out of his account anymore... I wanted to just stop but the idea that I could take home what I put in (my original 20 bucks) was like, cool... what should i do? Should i Feel guilty?
