I always lend money to other players when they need to,I to be very attentive when they call me to this end, or they send me messages, I like to help,but in many cases after receiving the money, they forget that it was only a loan
I consider helping, but I have many friends who ask me for help, I'm sure that those I have helped will return my money, I usually say that it's a chain, if I break a link in this chain, the flow will stop,Many tell me that money should not be lent when it will be used in games
Once, I had friends in my house, and we started playing poker, so one of them was out of money at the moment, but would like to participate, so i borrowed.
This friend ended up winning of everyone, including me, after this day I learned a lesson, we should not put another opponent on the table, when he will play with our own money
What do you think about these facts?

I usually have a book of notes
with these priorities

-he returned quickly
-took a while to return
-forgot and did not retur

after these notes follow these

- I can lend again, values up to 30us
- lend lower values up to 5us
- not allowed to loan to this player

the notes are Green, Blue and Red

Maybe I'm crazy, but it's a form of protection.:):):)

of course to help people is a good thing but there is a saying I do not do good do not get evil,many can simply use your kindness as weakness

Loan is a strange thing and can cause unpleasant situations. I would not mess with loans to avoid them.

I sure hope you know these people in real life and not just online. You are much braver than I. Now are these straight loans? or are you staking people with potential profit?

Are you charging interest on the loans?? It is not a good idea only if you are staking someone you know.

I've helped people I knew out in the past, but loaning money to poker players will eventually bite you.

If you aren't getting anything for doing it, you are essentially giving out negative freerolls which by definition cannot work out well for you.

Better off donating to charity or taking your friends out for a fun evening IMO.

now you've said everything, it's really the best thing to do, I'm no longer lending to anyone, the good ones are now paying for the bad, but that's life.
Today a friend asked me, but can you sell me some dollars?
I replied that I could not even do this from ... jejejejejethe result of me being a good person and believing in other people, 350 dollars ... if I do not receive anything, will not be needed, thanks to my God, so I did my part
I do not like to name those who acted in bad faith,but I should
so everyone would know who is who, and they would certainly care, I believe it's better this way, I know who owes me,, life goes on.:):):):):)

When I try to help someone , I don't consider it a loan , like if I want to help a friend to start with a small bankroll etc... I just send him without considering it a loan , because the person just started , so you have to give him a chance

hopefully they don`t scam other people here,,,i would `name` them as to `protect` other people,but i`m sure you have a good reason not too.

I never regret my actions, let it be very clear, what I wanted to put is the fact that people borrow you and do not honor the combination, would not be better to ask for a sponsorship without having to return the money ???
I would definitely do anything to help in the same way, after all it will not be some dollars that made me richer, or poorer:):):):)

gambling debts are specifically, legally, unenforceable in my state. For that reason, cash plays and there's no credit. Personal loans between players are discouraged. I am sure they happen, but they are high risk. I used to loan money to my step-brother, but I never got all of it back. That's a several hundred dollar lesson that I have no interest in repeating.

If someone really wants to borrow money in a game, they better have some collateral that I am interested in.

since it is a loan, do you have a lien on the ppl who borrows the money, in case if no return?

I do not loan to people as I have been burnt a couple of times pretty bad but I respect your reasons and thank you for helping others in our community.

I hear ya, but you do need to learn to say no. I personally don't mind giving money out especially if someone needs it. However I also don't give out a lot either for I am not a bank. You start asking for 100 or more, there had better be a "real" legit reason why. Then you better pay me back like you said or you'll never get another dime from me.
