Mooches at the casino

Now if I am with someone and they run out of money, I will gladly share but I hate it when someone you barely know or don't know at all comes up asking for money.  I was nice to a lady and did it once, she asked again today and I just walked away.  I was winning and could have done it, but it is just the idea behind it. 

I remember years ago my mother was approached by an older gentleman, he kept wandering around begging. I am wondering why security didn't pitch him out, or maybe nobody complained.

I cannot comprehend people doing that frankly. I can understand doing it by the roadside, but to be in a casino begging and you very well know where that money is going, makes them seem quite addicted or even hopeless.

I can't believe someone had the nerve to ask you for cash at the casino. I have never experienced this before. Don't feel bad. I wouldn't be giving out my winnings to strangers either.

Once I had to give $20 to a guy who just wouldn't leave my side.
He sat next to me and kept talking saying he was so frustrated by how I was playing, told me what machine to play, how much to bet..I got tired of his talking so gave him money to go away.
I don't blame you for walking away,wmmeden...
I never understand people like that...

I never had it happen in a casino but last summer I was going into a store and this lady was standing outside.The way that she looked,I'd say she was homeless or on a lost week-end. Well soft hearted me gave her a couple of bucks because she said she needed money to catch a bus to get home. I'd say not more than 10 seconds had passed when she asked if I could spare more...I just rolled my eyes (even tho I wanted to snatch the money back) and told her to have a good day.

my family does it when we go to the casino and its harder to say no to them i usually say im broke and sit on the penny machine until its time to go then i can come home with some money
