/r/StudentLoans

5 years ago

My uncle offered me a bet. If I win he will pay off my student loans. Should I take it?

My uncle has a pretty big gambling problem. It got him into a bunch of trouble a few years ago, and now he lives with us and is not allowed to even watch the news when the lotto numbers are drawn.

The other day, in secret, he offered me the following bet: If I flip a coin 5 times and get heads at least 4 times, he will pay off my student debts. If I don’t get heads 4 times, I just have to buy him 2 cases of beer.

The stakes are really low for me and the upside is huge. But I know my parents wouldn’t be happy knowing I allowed him to gamble, and it could be a gateway to more gambling. What do you guys think?
