Injun giving

Joking aside Glenn I think this is a real borderline case. Your mate wants to do something nice but can't quite commit to a full, no strings job, while you on the other hand don't want to be forced to give away half the prize pool of a relatively small comp.

If it were a bigger comp, says £500 or something it would be a different matter, but as it is I think your best option is to politely refuse.

So are we saying a "thanks" from a mate has to be a worth while thanks to be accepted!?

Extreme example, if i read the situ correctly, you chuck in 20p into a homeless person bowl and he rolls his eyes and tuts- you'd could feel abit offended that he didnt accept it graciously!?

Well that depends. Were there any conditions attached to the 20p that was chucked into the bowl?

lol poker players, it's just 1 comp, accept it in the spirit it's intended and move on with life.

Calling Glenn a "poker player" is artistic licence, imo. For starters, he's old.

The average age in those Downtown Mixed things was around 70, & well over half were female. And almost all of them were seriously grumpy.

Old people generally are, I find.

I know you jest, but really nothing could be further from the truth. old people generally just smile and get on with things, young people whine all the time.. "I hate everything. Wheres all the stuff the world owes me?"

OK. I'm off out. My work here is done.

[tikay]

Lol, I've started him off now......

The actual comparison would be chucking 20p in a bowl for a homeless person but saying "oh by the way, if you decide to buy a sandwich with it I want half of it".

The friend might think he's doing a favour but he really isn't. Glen can afford to play this comp himself so what the friend is doing is actually giving him £75 (very generous not to be sniffed at) and staking him for £75 (pretty shit when you really don't want to be staked.

Politely refuse would be my opinion saying that you don't like to play with other people's money.

If he really wants to treat you then a night out with a £150 budget between you would be far more appropriate.
