credit card roulette?

This is why you should never pay anyone else's tab. NEVER.

Ask yourself why anyone would ever suggest some kind of scheme where people take turns buying things. They suggest that because they benefit from it. They benefit from screwing you. They would never suggest taking turns if they knew it would mean they subsidize your meals.

if you had real friends this would never be an issue because your real friends would realize "hey, joe is getting hosed every week. this week i should pick up this expensive tab to even things out"

who plays this when going out with friends?

I understand this to be like an I-Banker thing, but it seems I have too many friends who know I-Bankers or work in finance or accounting or consulting, but it seems like all those type-A personality people who work hard and play hard love playing this.

I guess I'm just ranting because I've lost 3 out of the last 5 games, and I'm the guy who's quit work to go back to school, so I'm the guy digging into savings to play this game. Damn. It's times like these I get jealous of my friends still making money while I'm slaving to try to get out of school ASAP so I can keep up with their spending.

Anyway, if you keep playing in the long run you should even out anyway right? As long as you're playing with the same people, which is usually hte case.

I used to go out for dinner with a group of guys, and we always did this. But in our situation, we all worked, we were all single and we could all afford to play.

Once I moved away from Toronto, and this group, it was something I have rarely if ever played again.
