Bad Muscle 0 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 What the F? How does this even happen? Who is your bank holding the cash? Link to post Share on other sites
SlapStick 0 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Everyone pays up a little to cover it.Banker accepts responsibility and takes the losses and wins.Everyone pays the banker 5 BBs at the start of every session and he takes responsibility for wins or losses.Cash out Early.Biggest winner helps out.Depends on the people, these are all things I encountered playing illegally in Israeli bars and backrooms Link to post Share on other sites
bull62 0 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 We generally take the guy holding the money out back and wrap him around a tree. Link to post Share on other sites
koolromeo 0 Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 i have started cashing out early to avoid this problem. i cashed out early tonight and went to the diner. a few others came later including the guy that was last to cashout. they were short $100 and not one guy offered to chip in. they just stuck the guy who was last to cashout. lucky the guy is a teddybear because he is a very big man. i was super p issed when i found out about it. he wouldn't even let me buy him breakfast, instead he paid for the whole table. i wish i had his temperment.

SlapStick 0 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 get a super secret spy computer if you can't do basic math.... thats not the problem. People buying in and cashing out over and over, then people leave, then you're down to 3 playing short handed, eventually you sort it out and theres been mistakes. It happens a lot.Im a big fan of the pay the banker when you buy in and then he can accept all responsibility. I liked it because I never knew the people too well so trust is not an issue and if I was banker ,I never messed up and made a small bit extra Link to post Share on other sites
wwmoon85 0 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Whoever handles the cashouts needs to learn how to count. Either that or he's scamming you all. Confront him and ask if he is retarded. If he says no then beat the shit outta him and get a new guy to handle the money. Problem solved. Link to post Share on other sites

It happens a lot.i get that, but maybe my table stakes are lower with usually just 40-100 bucks being thrown in for chips and all the chips = 1 buck.could change that up? play for cheaps!!

JaNnN 0 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 If it's a homegame with friends, everybody takes a little loss. If it's a homegame with strangers, cash out early. Link to post Share on other sites
koolromeo 0 Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 you can't make the banker finacially responsible or no one would be banker. i think a lot of the problems are actually "extra chips" being put into to play whether it's on purpose or not. i've been banker a few times and what happens alot is that someone busts and wants to rebuy. while the banker is getting the chips a another player or two says while your there give me another $200, give me $100. all of a sudden your doing 3 different transactions for 3 different amounts and they dealt a hand and say it's on you.

And everyone pays $5 when buying in and thats it. You think there won't be at least 5 people who will want the money because "theres no way I will mess it up so I may aswell take the money" attitude. Theres always someone willing to be banker for this because of they don't think they would ever make a mistake Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Do the initial buy of chips, then have everyone rebuy from the table. Cash plays. Link to post Share on other sites

MJINK3 0 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Only one person is the "Bank" and handles the money and when he/she takes in money and gives out chips it needs to be in plain sight on the table so if mistakes are being made maybe someone else will see it happen and correct it. I've seen home games where more than one person handles the money and chips, this is the wrong way to do it. Oh and the bank must be able to count to 20 without taking their shoes off.

Problem solved.This is the only correct way of doing it. Also, that person being the Banker accepts responsibility if it is short or over.Most of the time if it is off by 10 or 20 bucks, either the big winner will ignore it, or a couple of the winners will take a few bucks less.If its off say $100 or more, something is wrong, and you need to re-evaluate your homegame.
