anybody else use this idea at home games?

[nbfb42]

i recently started playing at a home game, and an iteresting thing occured, when one player was all in and lost, the person who beat him gave him a "rebate" an amount of money factored in by how much the person lost, and depending on the person. So its basically optional...but a courtesy thing in which u can give the guy a chance to win some money back without reloading.
Does anybody else do this...because my friend is claiming that he invented teh idea. lol .
