I was the pp who provided the definition. I had to google it. Never heard of it before in my life and I'm 60.

I don’t know how common it is among “normal” people, but pro athletes sometimes do this and get stuck with bills in the tens of thousands.

It's very possible to exceed your credit limit by 4500

The bigger question for OP is why are you so uninvolved with finances?

Most credit cards have limits if $2-10k so to allegedly go over that by $4.5k for an imaginary game at someone’s house is BS.

Unless you have $hitty credit most credit cards have much higher limits. $10k is nothing

This game is only for single, newly graduated consultants. Everyone else is too smart for this (I thought).

I thought that was an odd comment too. Mine are 25k and 30k, but some can go much higher than that.

It was already explained earlier in the thread.

Not only was it already explained, but why did it need to be explained in the first place? Have people lost the ability to think entirely? I had not heard of it either and yet with the context of OP's story I could imagine exactly what it was. I'd say people have lost the ability to think critically, but it's not as if figuring this one out took any critical thinking.

I know what it is, it's just a very dangerous game to play.

It may be a real post, but there are a lot of bored kids off school. They are trolling on numerous posts today.

Everyone puts a credit or debit card out and the waiter picks one to pay the whole check.

Only a fool would agree to do this! I am a great believer in asking for a separate checks. I never go along with splitting the bill because there's always a heavy drinker and I don't drink alcohol. Also, some people order lobster and champagne and I am not paying for their indulgence.

That's what I was thinking.
