Sitting Out
So my roommates and I play poker pretty much every night, so we decided to just keep a running tally of each of our balances on a whiteboard. We realized things were starting to go wrong when out scores did not add up to zero! At this point we have 40 dollars more than we should....
I have told them already that we need a new system so that we don't make any more mistakes. I've been trying to get everyone to write all buy-ins/cash outs for the whole night, then in the morning we can check and confirm that it all adds up properly. Problem is they are not always doing that, and even when we tried, the whiteboard gets messy fast. They are all so confident to just update their total without anyone else confirming or anything, and we all have marker privileges soooo.... long story short its mayhem and we havent come up a solution, and we also haven't come up with a way to deal with the extra 40 dollars that now exists out of thin air.
PLEASE if anyone has any solutions I would really appreciate it. And especially something that doesnt involve me being a dick. I'm not accusing anyone in particular, any one of us could have messed up and I understand that, but them not so much. Some of them are convinced they never mess up counting but clearly they do... so yeah. Idk what to do.
