Make one person hold the money and be responsible, he makes sure everyone pays at the beginning, he makes sure everyone gets paid at the end. If it's short, he covers.

When we play, we usually put the money in the empty box that housed the playing cards we were using then put that box in the chip case and kept it at the feet of whoever is responsible.

They are responsible for the chips on the table and the cash in the case.

Pretty simple.

What I've always done. Best way to do it, honestly.

I know a little more about the situation than J posted because he and I discussed it... and I think the point here is that some people value money more than friendship. If I was friends with the host and this happened, as long as I knew for sure he wasn't the one that took the money, I would let it go... why lose a friend over $100?

The guy that won and expected the payout is obviously not the friend he was thought to be...

fwiw, I don't think the host is responsible, as long as there was no agreement made at the time the money was found missing that the host would be responsible. This is no different than some dude coming in a robbing everyone... the host wouldn't be responsible in that case either.

The argument is that the players gave teh host their money, its at his house, he is responsible for paying out. He is the one that left it out. It is an understanding that he takes the buyins and he is the one who handles the payouts, nothing has ever been discussed. Its his house..

Normally the money is kept wiht the unused chips, out of sight. This was a last minute game, only 8 people...

Was it Amature Hour?......only 8 people? HTF did someone make out with part of the kitty and not all of it $270 in 10's and 20's is like a 1/2-1" tall. Why take part if nobody is looking? That could just sit on the table until the game is over. Was it hidden on the bathroom counter or in the fridge on the beer shelf for whoever passed through or got knocked first? Just sayin'.

Not amateur hour, a home game. We usually have 2 tables, but again, this was last minute...

The $100 that was left was a single bill that was on the outside. Whoever took it removed the bills inside & under the Benjamin. I assume they left the $100 because if someone just glanced over to check on the money, they would see the $100 still there and no think twice about the rest of it...

The money was left out because, except for the 2 guys, we all have known each other and played together for years. Normally it is kept out of sight, but I was a little lax being it was a last minute thing...

I hosted the game, I left the loot out. I have never before had to worry about that kind of thing in my house. This absolutely changes how things are done now, sucks that I trusted people and got burned. It is what it is.. (can say that now that Fox's gone) I have already got a little lockbox and the money will go in there from here on...

I really appreciate everybody's input, I didnt want to say my part because I was wanted to get unbiased answers (see PanthaSan :dita:).

If it was at my house, and some new guy came in and we were short money at the end of the night, I couldn't in my right mind let him leave until I was sure he didn't take the money. You had to have discovered this when everyone was there. Like you said, you play with these dudes all the time and some new fellas come in and mysteriously you're missing some money. Sounds like someones a petty thief and someones a pussy.

      Edge Rushers

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Super raw, not sure he is worth a top 10 pick.  Primary a pass rusher.  A bit like Burns, very fast athletic but doesnt always follow the play.  His highlights look good but when you watch him play you can see he is just raw and needs to develop

      Personally, I am not sold on Bryce yet--and I do not think anyone is saying they are, but I don't think Ward is on table when we draft anyway.  Not even sure if I would rather have him than one of the later QBs.  I see a lot of potential in Allar, Nussmeire, Rourke, and even Hamilton from Ohio State--Milroe is intriguing, but I am not sure he is an NFL QB.  Ewers is that sleeper who falls and becomes a solid starter. I think that we sign a veteran who has played and we draft one of these project QBs. To your point:  With that in mind, I think you have to take QB off the table in round 1, and if Bryce can string 4-5 games like KC together, we still need to draft a QB in round three or so---I really think Rourke is a great fit for this offense--he is accurate and gets the ball out quickly---he impressed me vs OSU.   Reason?  I think we may have a tough decision to make about Bryce in 2 years--will he be worth $60m?  That decision is a lot easier if you have been grooming a backup for 2 years who can play. In round 1: I am hoping for PSU's edge Abdul Carter In round 2:  I would like to see us grab a DT who can rush the passer.  Walter Nolen of Ole Miss is versatile and a bit raw. I think he could be an excellent complement to Brown. In round 3:  I would love ILB Danny Stutsman from Oklahoma.  He is a beast. With 11 picks, I would package our 4th rounders to move up into the third round and take a QB.  At the moment, I think Rourke is trending upward and he has the skills Canales seems to want in a QB.  Quick processor, quick release. I would use the fifth rounders on OL.  I know that I left out WR--however, we are getting Thielen back, XL will be improved, Coker will be improved, and Moore has been surprisingly good.  Sanders (TE) has been more than expected in the passing game.  I think we need D more than WR, and maybe we can get a veteran WR to sign or find a hidden gem late.

      Wouldn't be surprised if he starts a couple Jets games this year with the way the Rodgers thing is going. Giants fans are pissed they didn't keep him lol. He might actually have a little bit of a market.
