What's really going on
The scene understands that the money is never really about money. Mike calls his two hundred dollars 'blood money' because he cannot afford to lose it, and he freezes at the table in a way that echoes everything else in his life; the blackjack hand becomes a test of nerve he keeps failing. Trent, meanwhile, is doing what friends do: he keeps the mood up with a running commentary, and when the losses are added up, he refuses to let Mike sit in it. 'You're money,' he tells him, then turns it into a question — 'Who's the big winner here tonight at the casino?' — until Mike says his own name. The pep talk is a bit absurd, and Mike knows it, but the scene plays it straight, because the point is not the money or the cards; it is having someone in your corner when you feel like a loser.

このシーンについての質問
Why does Mike call the money "blood money"?
Because he cannot afford to lose it. It is the two hundred dollars he brought to gamble, and after his breakup he is already fragile, so the bet feels like more than a bet.
What is Trent's advice at the table?
He tells Mike to double down whenever he has an 11, insisting that is the rule. Mike is too anxious to follow it and keeps losing, which only deepens the argument between them.
What does "you're money" mean?
It is slang for being desirable, valuable, or on top — the opposite of a loser. Trent uses it as pure encouragement when Mike is at his lowest at the tables.
Why does Trent keep insisting Mike is the big winner?
Because Mike only sees the money he lost, and Trent is trying to change what winning means — not the chips, but the friend who pulled him out of the apartment and into the night.
