At least you're honest about your impulsive gambling problems.

[Brock Landers]

Haha this thread is great. I have MANY MANY degen stories to add here but I'm at work and don't want to do all these from my phone. I'll add to this when I have time from home. I am right there with Brock I think. Not as bad but not far behind.

sounds interesting!!

Kerry aka pickwinner did chargebacks to stay in the game... think I already said that but just pointing that out again cause people who do chargebacks are scumbags

[bigjah15]

Went to casino lost 500, took out another 500 lost, overdraft bank account got up to 2k , put the money back into account through ATM and bank didn't realize I over drafter because I did this all within a night. Didn't get charged the fee

oh i've done some wild shit when it comes to banks...

it all went back to when N eteller was around and i had a 10 dime instacash limit. I used to instacash money to Pinnacle regardless of the fact if i had the money in my bank account. So i knew it would take like 2 days for the instacash request to hit my bank and i'd write checks from ************ i had gotten, you know those balance transfer checks, and deposit those to cover the bank from being in overdraft. I just wanted to make sure no ********** happened to N etller, and it never did, cause i wasn't about to lose that 10K limit.

Had many an overdraft situation at a couple different banks LOL But they are pretty easy to deal with, EXCEPT when they mention shit like "this needs to be resolved by 3 PM or we are calling the authorities", had that happen a couple of times too LOL

[eyeball]

A sick one
I took out 5K from my 9 year old daughters bank account she had for college. I lost it all and never replaced it. But later on I got divorced and had to pay child support, plus her college

[BigDeem5]

This is a sick story, but its on my buddies... Big Gambler versus a Big Gambler. One bets sports, we'll call him Harry.. the other is a big gambler, but doesn't bet sports until college football, call him joshua. We're on the golf course playing some ******* big time money. Joshua hits a ball on the 18th about 285 right down the middle, 3 wood. Guy is sick. Let me tell you Harrison was down $220 and this was a press. Josh was giving 1.5 shots on 18. Harry hits a good drive about 250 and is still looking good. Fker picks up Joshs ball and hides it, making Josh drop and get the + stroke. Harry won the hole and saved himself $440 probably. He then proceeded to bet $400 on a 'lock play' that night and lost. So instead of losing the $400 to a buddy, he lost it to a bookie. F'ed up

My cash advances in the casino world have been pretty legendary. Gave me some lucky money for comebacks on many occasions.

I also cashed a $3000 check once at a check cashing store when the banks were closed. Think I paid almost $100 in fees and then sent the cash offshore to get down on games that night.

I also did lots of W---U--- transfers at all hours years ago. Had my CC on file and would just call up to send the cash. Got banned by W---U--- eventually for all of it.

Win if you can...lose if you must...but keep reload-ing, reload-ing, and reloading!

i got blacklisted too, back in 2007 i think it was. funny thing is, after years of not sending W U's in my name, i just started getting payouts from Heritage via W U in my name, so maybe i am off the list now?!

Great thread!!!!

[jjgold]

Brock probably left out the bad stuff

This guy has robbed to stay in game or pay bookies

I can assure you if he is pressing for money and he sees you alone in a dark alley something is going down

He will not think twice to get your money

I know this guy better than anyone maybe except for Cougar Bait

[tatommack]

I'm surprised I'm not blacklisted from w u I have enough gold points to get a 100 gift card. They save the names I've used and the tellers are always like omg there's a hundred names on here. I loved it when you could use those pre paid cards. Books need to go debt cards that you can send and recieve money off of.

Do you think people do worse things for drugs or gambling?

[Ralphie1412]

Nothing new......Brock is the wort person to ever walk the earth.

[RyanLeafOfBets]

I've been EXTREMELY fortunate. I haven't let gambling take over my life to date. I got pretty desperate back in January after the Packers lost to the Giants. Dropped about $1500 in 2 days, but then made back that the next week thankfully.

When I dropped $1500, only had like 3K in my bank account, so got to the point where I was very close to gambling with rent money. Scary feeling.

[RyanLeafOfBets]

Do you think people do worse things for drugs or gambling?

I'd say drugs... just because there are most likely a lot more druggies than degens.

i used paypal like my personal money machine too.

I'd have a BkofAma card registered there, and my co-worker sitting in the cube next to me, well i would send him like 5 dimes at once, but as a purchase, or as if i was buying an item he sold on ebay, whatever, he would get the cash instantly from paypal in his account, then withdraw it to his bank and give me the cash 2 days later, PERFECT way to avoid ridiculous cash advace fees. i did this MANY times, but have since been banned by Paypal for stiffing them over a bank account payment that i sent to a friend, but then closed the bank account out LOL So i guess i can get paypal back if i paid them the 800 i owe em, maybe some day

[billyloco]

[Ez Money 77]

Haha this thread is great. I have MANY MANY degen stories to add here but I'm at work and don't want to do all these from my phone. I'll add to this when I have time from home. I am right there with Brock I think. Not as bad but not far behind.

Okay I am going to try to list what I can remember, trust me when I say there is a good chance I leave some stuff out. Okay well I am 34 years old right now so these are things that basically I have done because of gambling in the last 16 or so years.

I'll begin with when I was like 18/19 years olds and I was still living with my mom. At this point I was already going to the Indian casino's and played blackjack. You only had to be 18 years old to go there. After about a year of being hooked to gambling I was like $2300 behind on my car I owned and one night while I was sleeping I woke up and it was gone. Well not to drag this out, I borrowed the money from my uncle. Problem is I went to the casino that night instead of getting it back. Thing is I didn't lose it all. I was down to $100 and then proceeded to get it back swearing to god as I was thanking him, I won't come back. Well the next night I went to another casino and lost it all. Made up a lie to my mom about meeting some girl off the internet who spent the night and while I was sleeping she went in my drawer and stole my money. The next day my mom felt so bad that she went and bought a new car so I could have her second car, a truck. She didn't have the money to get my car back. She just recently found out the truth about this story actually.

Okay when I was about 22 I got a bookie now BAD IDEA. After doing okay for a few weeks, meeting this bookie every week and paying up or collecting money I had a bad week. I now owed like $1500 and at the time this was big time money. What do I do? Nothing. I don't contact the bookie and I don't think we had cell phones at the time so I just ignored his beeps on my beeper.After a litte while I stopped getting beeps so I never had to pay it back.

Now I am 27 and just recently married. I again have a bookie, BAD IDEA. I was doing real well actaully had cashed for 3 weeks in a row for close to $5,000 total. The wife knows about the bookie and everything since we hadn't been married long or even together very long. During the nice run we went out and lived life, partied it up and paid some bills. Then the next week I had the weekend from hell. I was playing all straight plays in NFL and went on to lose like 13 straight games, including trying to double up for like a $5000 bet on the Sunday night game. After losing all these games and the $5000 I just made the last few weeks (which I don't have anymore). I didn't know what I was going to do. I didn't tell my wife anything that was happening. Well I decide I am going to try to double or nothing on Monday night. I didn't like the MNF game or my luck on football so I went with a NBA game. I did so much research and found to go $5000 on an over of an NBA game. Well at the end of the game I was like 5 points away and the team that was down 3 points got fouled at the buzzer on a three point attempt to try to tie the game. OMG I had a chance. Yeah fat chance. Guy misses the 2nd free throw and I end up losing. Now I was down like $11,000. Had to tell the wife. Told her that night, almost got a divorce. We had to borrow money from friends and family and got a payment plan with the bookie for the remaining. I promised the wife that I would never bet on sports again.

About a year passes and I am playing online poker almost everyday. The wife know and I am secretly depositing/withdrawing money that she doesn't know about so she doesn't know how Im doing exactly. I go to a site that has a sports book and I had a good balance going so I say **** it I'm just gonna bet a game or two. Well I end up getting right back into it. This goes on for about a year and she has no idea. I too am floating checks on NetTeller and then it gets real bad. I now have a bookie through my dad "for a friend" is what I said. Everything is done online and I am the middle man for my "friend" and my dad. I was losing here and there and needed some cash. This is when I really got bad. My credit is bad and I couldn't get a CC for more then $300 from anyone. I decided to get 2 cards in my wife's name. They both came and had lines of like $2500 or so. I even had to call in and sound like a chick so they would activate them. Well I ended up maxing those out and my wife had no idea about them. One morning I woke up to my wife hold my cell phone asking me "what is this?" Acting like I had no idea what she was referring to when I was looking at a mobile web site for betting. I JUST downloaded this site a week ago for my phone. I told her that was old. She went on to say she knew I was lying that she saw these teams just played yesterday blah blah blah. I ended up just confessing and then went on to tell her all the stuff I was doing for the last 18 months including the card I got in her name. We almost broke up again "she should have" but I promised not to ever gamble again, again.

Now I owed some money to one of friends and had for a while. We were in the process of selling our second car which we did one day. We got like $3500 for it. Problem was after I sold it I just held the money in my pocket the next day and while I was supposed to be at work I ended up sitting at the blackjack table at another casino. I was only gonna play like $200, that was the plan. All of a sudden after losing that $200, chased. Chased big time now I was down $2500 of the $3500 I had. I said **** it and went all in on one hand for the $1000 and of course I lost. I didn't know what to do. My wife was sure to leave me is what I was thinking. When she was at work I sent her a text the next night saying that our friend called me and said he really really needed the money we owed him, which was like $4000 so I told her I figured she would be okay with finally paying him since we had the money. She had no idea it was a lie. She didn't find out for a long time when I ****** up from something and came out with it.

Just a side note I stopped gambling after this time and was doing really well. I didn't bet a game for over two years. Then one day last year my wife came home and talked to me about some "5Dimes.com" that has a live blackjack dealer that one of her friends told her about , I guess the guy won a lot of money. Told her I would help her set it up so she could play. Well she put $100 in and just watching her I wanted to play so bad. The next day I opened up my own account to play bj. Well couldn't do it because we had another account in the same house. I didn't know till after I put in the $100. What do I do? They have sports I decide to play a little. HOOKED AGAIN. I never put in too much money 100-200 or so. Few months pass and the wife and I have a talk because I have like 4 pay day loans out and also tell her about the dimes account. Told her I am going to do what I want to do and she can leave if she wants. We were having many many other problems that this wasn't the problem at the time.

The one thing I have learned from all my **** ups is that I will never have a bookie again. At least when I lose money it is only money I can get my hands on and not some imaginary number that I have no way of obtaining if I lose.

I know for sure there are more of these I just can't remember them all. I know I am a MAJOR degenerate though I have gotten much better then how I was.

[MC PICKS]

[robmpink]

Guy, how didn't you have any overdrafts at Neteller if I've read numerous posts from you stating you stiffed them for a bunch? Get your stories straight.
