"At first, we bet 10 and 20 cents. Then the stakes rose to $1, $5 and $10. Soon, it was $50 to show a hand. Eventually, it hit $100," said Zac.
He ended up losing "quite often", but never thought of stopping.
"I was just desperate to win back what I had lost and clear my debt."
His losses snowballed and hit $1,300 last June.
Then his classmate started pressing him for payment.
Zac said: "He would call me every half an hour to ask when I was returning the money."
Once, the classmate even confronted him near the school hall and grabbed him by the throat.
"He told me not to mess around with him as he knew gangsters," he recalled.
Worried, Zac started avoiding his classmate, skipping school and even missing his Sec 5 Maths preliminary examination "because other classmates said he was looking for me, and I couldn't pay up".Hounded to honour the loss, he then signed an IOU with the classmate in June.
He also agreed to the interest and other terms - $7 for every day he was unable to pay off the amount, in addition to $45 for every fortnight that the sum was outstanding.
Last July, Zac claimed the classmate told him to sign up for a mobile plan and pay the expenses. He did as he was told.
To settle his debts, he also borrowed money from friends and began juggling two part-time jobs - pulling the early shift at a factory and working till 2am as a hotel banquet waiter.
Zac estimated that he has handed over $5,000 to the classmate so far.
Now, his family, in an attempt to get the money back, has made a police report against that classmate.Content used in this blog remain the property of their respective owners.

Incredibly though, the score remained goalless.
Javier Hernandez just could not find the target as his shots flew wide of the Schalke goal, while on other occasions Neuer was in the way.
But in a three-minute second-half spell, Ryan Giggs and the outstanding Wayne Rooney finally scored United's goals.Content used in this blog remain the property of their respective owners.
It is a fine time for Tony Pulis' side, who also have an FA Cup final at Wembley to look forward to for the first time on May 14 against Manchester City.
Kenwyne Jones opened the scoring in the 16th minute, Ryan Shawcross extended their lead on the stroke of half-time and Jermaine Pennant added a third in the 51st minute leaving Wolves rooted in the bottom three after their 13th defeat in 17 away league games.
Once Stoke made the breakthrough they never looked back against their local rivals.
Jones headed in his 11th goal of the season following a cross from Pennant after getting between Richard Stearman and Jody Craddock.
Although goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey got a hand to the ball he could not prevent it going into the net.
Stoke were not content to sit on their lead and Walters skipped away from Stearman in the 48th minute only to drag his effort wide of the post.
However Wolves suffered another blow three minutes later when the home side made it 3-0 following good work by Jones and Walters.
Walters delivered the ball into the middle and Pennant got an excellent first touch to find the target with Hennessey again wrong-footed by a deflection.
Stoke surely secured their Premier League status with this emphatic win over relegation battlers Wolves.

Many deals sites have a social component. For instance, if you get three friends to buy a LivingSocial voucher, yours is free. Groupon's offers become valid only after a certain number of people purchase them.
But the deals are circulated to users through email, and the community aspect is secondary.
Facebook is hoping to change that.
"We're building a product that is social from the ground up," says Emily White, director of local for Facebook. "All of these deals are things you want to do with friends, so no teeth whitening, but yes to river rafting."
Starting Tuesday, when Facebook users in the five test markets: San Diego, San Francisco, Atlanta, Dallas and Austin, Texas log into the site, they will see a deals insignia at the bottom of the page.
Clicking on it brings up a list of currently available offers. A user can buy one, click the "like" button to recommend it to others or share the offer with friends through Facebook's private messaging system. When users purchase or "like" a deal, it shows up in their friends' news feed.Content used in this blog remain the property of their respective owners.
