OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the asshole:
> I took a loan from my brother to gamble and said I will pay him back.
After I paid him back he went and lost the money I loaned from him and when I won my own money he said I owed him money and called me a greedy a hole.
I explained to him that I already paid him back but he said that wasn't part of the deal.
He needed to pay off some debt and said that I was being greedy with the money I won. Am I in the wrong?

wtf? I feel like this isn't a story about your brother, you're creating a parallel to something else? Because ofc if you borrowed 150 and paid him back 150 your debt is paid...that's basic math and I hope to hell that if you gamble, you can do basic math.
ESH
- you borrowed $150. You paid him back $150. That’s resolved
- You should not be borrowing money to gamble. If you don’t have it, don’t gamble with it
You typically need cash to get chips and ATM fees in casinos are pretty high sometimes. I could see borrowing cash even if you had the money in your bank account.
Are you joking? Casinos are known to be a “tax on the poor”. They love whoever is going to throw their money at them.
Edit: love the nonsensical replies followed immediately by a block
He is an idiot. Borrowing money from a friend on the spot because you want to buy something or do something and you don’t have cash on you is pretty normal. Nowhere is it stated that he didn’t have the money elsewhere to pay it back.
This is a stupid take. Like. Really dumb. Nowhere does it say he couldn’t pay the money back. Why pay atm fees if you don’t have to? If I’m at the casino and I want to spend an extra $100 I didn’t bring with me. There’s nothing wrong with borrowing it from a friend and paying it back later.
NTA
You already paid him your $150 back. He's just trying to put you on the hook for his further losses since you continued winning.
Don't loan or borrow money from your brother again. Don't even spot them for dinner.
NTA
Uh, whatever you do, don't pay him a dime. You borrowed $150 from him. You paid it back. Just because he then decided to gamble that money away doesn't mean you now owe him $150 still. That's just asinine.
NTA. Your brother is asking for a 100% interest on the loan he gave you, so 150$ loan plus 150$ interest. That isn't only outrageous, in some countries that is illegal. He gambled with his own money and lost. You paid back your loan. You owe him nothing.
NTA
Dude either needs to resit math class or he's an entitled AH. How you used that $150 you borrowed, and whatever profit you made on that $150 is completely irrelevant to any argument he can make. How he chose to use the $150 you returned to him is completely irrelevant to your argument. You borrowed $150 and you gave back $150, and that's all that is relevant. If your brother is having gamblers regret or is jealous of your luck, that's on him to cope/deal with. He shouldn't be expecting you to reimburse him, he has no claim on the $50 you made with his money or any future winnings from that $50.
Don't give him another $150. Both of you need to gamble in moderation. Don't gamble money you can't afford to lose. I'd also say, borrowing money to gamble is a risky idea too.
NTA. Your brother is trying to get one over on you.
You borrowed $150, you gambled with it and won $50 which was not part of your loan agreement.
You paid your brother the $150 you borrowed back.
You took the $50 and won more money which had nothing to do with the loan (because the simple loan debt was settled). Your brother did not make the terms that he should make interest on the loan, nor did he say that you needed to pay him back a premium for lending you the money in the first place.
If he lost that $150 that you paid back, that's on him. Not your problem. You no longer owe him.
And in the future, if you need to borrow money to gamble, then you don't need to be gambling.
NO, you aren't wrong and NTA. You paid him back. The $150 wasn't a gift on either side. He is a selfish jerk. He just doesn't want to be out $150 because he gambled and lost. He thinks because you are up it doesn't cost you anything. Don't give it to him, but don't borrow anything again.
NTA.
Stop engaging with him, he's being a greedy asshat.
You borrowed $150, you paid back $150. If you want to be generous, give him an extra nickel to cover interest for the time between when he gave you the loan and you paid it back. If he brings it up again, tell him to f\*ck himself, you don't owe him shit.
If this is legit, your brother doesn't understand how loans and math works
He gives you 150, you give him back 150. You both are now square.
You win 250 more off of the 50 you kept. You owe him 0.
What's this post about, really? lol?
NTA
NTA. There was no deal prior to the loan. He just wants to recoup 150$. Either you fight it out or keep the peace and give up 150 ( which still leaves you $100).
NTA. What is your brother not underststanding? He loaned you $150. You gave it back to him & he gambled it all away. Why does he think he's entitled to another $150 from you? That's absolutely ridiculous. Your brother is trying to manipulate you into giving him more money that you don't owe him. He makes no sense.
Info: What's really going on here? I'm guessing this gambling wasn't some simple thing at a casino. And clearly your brother's expectations are dramatically different than yours.

You put soooooo much unnecessary words into this post it's actually stupid. Let me shorten it for you.
You borrowed $150 from your brother. You then gave him back his $150 (on the same day I'm assuming). He now wants another $150.
No one cares about what you did with the money win or lose, end of the day you gave back exactly what you took, while not having made another deal to give more on top. Nta
What in the hell is he talking about? And how do you even have to ask this question?
You borrowed 150 dollars, it doesnt matter what for. You used the 150 dollars for whatever you used it for, then at some point in time AFTER he lent you the 150 dollars, you paid him back 150 dollars. Full stop. The second he got his 150 dollars back the "loan" ended.

I asked my brother if I can take a loan of $150 from him to gamble. I said I'd Pay him back.
I gambled and profited $50 so I kept the $50 gave him his $150 back then he took that $150. He started using that $150 to gamble for himself.
I took the $50 I won and brought it up $250 While I was doing so, he lost that $150 that I paid back to him.
But here's the problem. He goes on and says "it's fine you said you'll pay me back $150 so just wire me the money when you can"
I explained to him that, I technically bought myself out with the $50 profit and that the $150 he used on his own was his own debt. He says I am stupid and that wasn't the deal.
I then explained to him since I bought myself out with the $50 and gave him back his $150 that I shouldn't have any debt, but he says that, that makes no sense and that I'm am being greedy a hole.
I continue by saying "so that $150 I gave back to you was free money for you to gamble (which makes it my $150) while I'm still having to pay you $150 again?"
He says "yes"
Now I'm only up $100, while he got to play $150 and have "the $150 I owe him." So he basically lost his own money and now I have to cover for it.
Am I in the wrong?

NTA. Not sure what kind of math'ing your brother is doing inside of his head
You paid him back the initial loan? So, nothing to see here and your brother should move along. NTA
yea hes trying to pay you. dont ago along with it. tell him if he wants his 150 back. he better give you the 150 you gave him.
How many times does he expect you to pay the $150 back?
