Lesson no 1: You don't go to a Casino to win money, you go to a Casino to lose money and have fun. Occasional winnings are rare and you just got super lucky. Similarly, you don't lend money to somebody in hopes of getting it back. You lend money, only if you think the other person really needs it and there's a fair chance that you will never see it back. If you get it back, you got super lucky.


Having said that, if you can move on. Move on. If not, then sue his ass off in a small claims court as suggested earlier. If every one of us start moving on, these people will never learn a lesson.
