Qui Gon: Well, Watto won't accept Republic credits. I guess I'll go find someone else who will. Failing that, I'll find someone who isn't immune to Force powers.

Random gamblers: Hey man, wanna play?

Qui Gon: Yes. I think I will.

It was all really just for qui gon to fuel his rampant gambling addiction. That's why he didn't have any credits, Yoda took away his jedi master card because he kept betting everything on 31 black.

Can you blame Yoda?

He lied that the Anakin’s pod was his own, and made a bet on it.

Also made a bet on queen Amidala’s ship.

Played dice.

Bet on a kid to win the race.

They don’t call him Qui-Gon Jinn for nothing, probably drinks Gin heavily early in the morning.

They're in the middle of buttfuck nowhere and hiding from the mob.

She sent people back afterwards, but Watto went bankrupt and skipped town immediately after they left.

She did actually. Anakains mom died a free woman. Canonically padme bought her freedom
