Well....

Welcome to the world of gambling on borrowed money. You got yourself in a tough spot. You're talking about an a mount of money that I would NEVER borrow from a friend, especially for gambling, so it's hard to relate to your quandry.

Trying to put myself inyour shoes, I guess I would ask myself one question: Is it at all possible that this marker is legit? It seems to me that it would be more likely that he'd have several markers that added up to $260 than 1 marker for the full amount. I'm not familliar with your game's customs, but it sure seems like an odd amount.

If it's at all posible that it's legit, then you pretty much have to honor it - unless you guys have an agreed upon statute of limitations fo recovery of debts. I know that I would readily remember such a debt occurring. I suppose you could ask some of the other players if they remember such a transaction, but I guess that's pretty much irrelevent.

I hope you've learned your lesson.
