Hypothetical Scenario:
You loan a friend some money. They gamble with the money and win big...millions.
What does the friend owe you? Simply what they borrowed, or some of their winnings?

you can only collect what you loaned out unless you a) agreed that you will get x% of the winnings, or b) had an agreement that x amount of interest will be added onto the repayment

been there! I was mad as hell I wasn't entitled to the winnings, lol. In all fairness, this was in 9th grade and I let this girl borrow a quarter at Six Flags, with which she proceeded to win a coin toss on the first try.

I know (or at least I figured) that legally you wouldn't be entitled to anything unless it was agreed upon. But how would you FEEL? Would it affect your friendship if the person did not at least give you something?

Yep it would. If they did not have enough hmmmm what's the word(s) I want to use maybe common courtesy to offer to give me something for loaning they broke a$$ money in the 1st place then maybe that is not someone I need to be friends with.
Yeah it would definately make me re-think my friendship with them. Call it childish if you want but I am just being realistic. I know me. If I win the lottery off top my mom and close friends are getting broke off.

If I win the lottery off top my mom and close friends are getting broke off. I don't think that's fair. You loan with the expectation of getting back the loan...not getting anything more. I don't think you are being a good friend to WANT more. Accept the repayment with graciousness. If they decide to give you more, good, if not...oh well. Don't end your friendship if they decide to do otherwise. |

But one should not expect nothing more though |

I tend to expect people to treat me how I treat them so I would expect "something" other than the loan... something..
