Obligatory inflation calculator comment that 30 bucks in 1911 is at least $930 today, and 36 dollars is over $1100.
I could see an office pool for the Superb Owl or NCAA March madness having a pot of a thousand dollars, but a casual Venmo of 900 dollars to a friend seems like it would need to be a very good friend indeed.
(I’ll also say in my wayward yute days, at the more recent turn of the century, being up or down a thousand bucks in one night at Mohegan Sun had precedent, but also I was only living in the area for a few months, so I felt I would be moving before things could potentially get out of hand)Report
