Senior Year Gambles
My friends and I created monsters of our fellow classmates by getting dice and poker games started at lunch. Soon people were throwing dice in the hall and calling hop bets before class. My best friend and I kept a sheet of those who owed money to the “house”.
Someone’s mom called the principal and complained that her son owed some other students 50 dollars and he keeps spending all his money. We would still throw dice for a while in the back stairwells or the outdoor area at lunch time.
We collected about half of the money we were owed, which was around $350. After that we turned to selling candy bars and soda from our lockers. That got banned too, but we finished selling our stash. It was a profitable senior year. Story credit: Reddit / Philrickelson
