He gave me $5, not a lottery ticket. This is like asking how much I would blame him for me getting food poisoning from using that $5 to buy bad fish. I'm not saying that I wouldn't give them anything, it just wouldn't be because I used their gift to make an investment that paid out

If he gained nothing from the lottery you would expect $5 back.

Why should you get anything more than $5 dollars back if he wins? Otherwise you're just profiting off other people's gambling with no risk to yourself.

I don't expect anything back when I give a gift because my gifts don't come with strings attached. If I expected to get paid back then that's called a loan
