he wins 3 sets, $20 a set. Player B wants to play one more set for $80, but A will only play for $60. B calls A a nit.
if he can't afford to risk losing 20 for a chance of winning 140, maybe he shouldn't be gambling to begin withhe wins 3 sets, $20 a set. Player B wants to play one more set for $80, but A will only play for $60. B calls A a nit.

it has no bearing whether you are up or down if a proposed bet is a positive one for you you should take it. unless you can steer him into a better one for yourself. that is smart gambling to give yourself the highest expected win rate.
Your math is strange to me? If I have $60 winnings IN MY POCKET, and I gamble someone for $80- I risk losing all $80 for an additional $80 IN MY POCKET- so my gamble is now $80 for $80 not $20 for $140! Somehow you consider money won as NOT real money in your pocket? No wonder some gamblers are always broke!
You owe the guy nothing- but to offer someone an opportunity to win back money lost in 3 matches all in one match is a very fair offer. Any confident person would accept that offer if they wanted to get back to even- at their own risk of losing an additional $60.
Now we get into someone in a pool room making personal remarks to another person's face, see, all of this kind of stuff is why we are sitting here online instead of playing in big beautiful 40 table rooms spread out across the entire USA. Most people have no tolerance for so many of the idiots who inhabit the world of pool.
Calling their opponent a nit is the last resort of many a losing player.
If you are playing sets for $20, that isn't gambling to begin with.
What's the time limit on nitness? If he kept his winnings and they met again next day, a week later, a year later, would he still be a nit if he didn't play for $80?Spoken like a true nit!
