Laughable

Word got around that I had a decent win recently and so far I've had 2 phone calls and 1 person calling at my door to borrow money. One was family which I don't mind so much and I know they'll pay me back. The point is, I could just imagine the response I'd get if I went to the same three people and asked them for money because I did my conkers gambling. A few years ago I mentioned to a guy I was sub contracting for that I won 4k. Within an hour he asked me to lend him 1k because he was waiting on a payment from the job. I took me a while to get my money back but when he did repay me I packed up my tools there and then and walked off the job. 

I'm pretty sure others here have had a similar story to tell?
