I would have paid him off, not said anything else. Next time you see him and he wants to play, say "we are playing even now, you beat me last we played, its even from now on and we play for at least $10 a game now".
How would you resolve bet no bet issue?

For me anyways, no post, NO BET! Friends or not......
Nothing can destroy a friendship more than money woes, except maybe for sleeping with their significant other which a "true friend" wouldn't/shouldn't commit either. Just as in boxing or any other challenge sport, once posted and the game starts, the friendship on the table ceases to exist until the match is over. Now once the match is over and all bets are settled, 99% of the time the friendship resumes as normal, unless they're completely on tilt over it for an extended period of time.
Dopc. No post, NO BET!

Yeah the level of faggotry here is impressive.
I'd suggest he pull the 10 dollars from my cold dead hand...no bet.
Or just pay him off and rob him next time. If he is good action, its hard to find.
It sounds way more like a misunderstanding to me than him trying to "pull" anything.
It's ten dollars. Laugh it off, let him know you didn't think you were playing for anything, but offer him double or quits on his ten.
Some of the reactions in this thread are way over the top, in my opinion. Ten dollars.
There's always 3 sides to every story, so hearing only one side gets you a one sided answer that most likely isn't accurate.
Regardless, the real point, IMO is YOU NEVER GAMBLE WITH FRIENDS, PERIOD.
Why? The outcome in the long run, more times than not, is someone ends up into someone for just enough that someone suggests upping the bet a little. At that point the cancer begins to grow to either an argument at some time , loss of a friend, or at the very least loss of a pool playing partner, and it all starts with a "little friendly 5 dollar bet" In this case, it seems the symptoms of this cancer are beginning to manifest themselves.
What's the point in risking any of that for a small 5 dollar bet?

This is what I was trying to say in my previous post.
Friends don't gamble, you just don't.
Buddies, acquaintances, etc. ya they gamble, because you are each trying to take the other off.
The $5 turns into someone being stuck, and raising it to $10 and then a set for $20, a race for $100 and then you'll test the meddle of your friendship real quick.
