Gambling Ever Got You In A Fight?
Most of the fights I've been in have centered around pool or cards. Going back 20 years for this though. I'm much too mature and old now to get in a fight over $20. In the same note, I had a guy start swinging at me because his brother owed me money.

Yes and I got my ass handed to me. All I did was smile at the guy after beating him at a game of pool. Needless to say I will never smile at that guy again.

Yeah, I got these 3 dudes that I make bets with every year. Long story short, they show me their passing grades and end up taking me for more than the original bet!

One of the reasons I stopped playing pool. Guys thought I was hustling then for money. One night I was so drunk taking on guys and after I win I said "next". Eventuall one guy kept playing me and losing as I was getting hammered. He decided to bring his boys around the table to make things difficult. My buddies convinced me to give up the table to them. Didn't go at it cause I was stumbling. Funny thing is, I hate pool and prefer snooker. Haven't played pool since (snooker either)

Didn't get in a fight over it, but thought we'd get shot one time.

Used to play a lot of pool, and always been a minority as a white guy. Was playing pool at a black bar deep in an all-black neighborhood with a black friend. We owned the table for a couple games and the next team up on us was a known pimp and one of his boys. This guy was a straight-up stereotype, with the floor-length leather duster and wide-brimmed hat. He had a gun in his waistband and his boy was packin', too. Despite that, my partner literally pocketed a couple of our balls when they were distracted....was walking around the table as if to set up his shot, and as soon as they got distracted by some other crazy guy, he took two of our balls and hand-dropped them into the pockets right before taking his shot. I thought there was no way they wouldn't notice that, but they didn't. Was scared to death the rest of the game....we won....nothing was ever said.

A win is a win, but I would of poop myself if a buddy had done that with me.

Poker is another one. A lot of wanna be tough guys on the poker scene. As soon as shit gets serious though they're looking for security or the floor manager.

Oops. Your at a home game.
