    I have a problem here
    OK guys i have never been nervous to make a bet until the last 3 days. im a 20 year old student had an awful weekend. I owe the local bookie 1200 which i have i just told him i would pay 400 a week so i could still have a little spending money. I can still bet but am kinda nervous if i would have i would have been 3-0 and probally back to even. Would you make a few big bets and try to get back to even or lower your limits??

    chasing is never a good idea. stick to whatever system you use. i might suggest lowering your allocated % of bankroll per bet, as one bad weekend should not leave you in desperate times

        you should try to look for more capital ( $ ) from your friends, family members... so that you can overcome the bad time, then lower your bet amount, be patience.... you will bounce back

          Lay 2400 on your favorite play, if it misses then drop out of school and run. If it hits you are 1200 up.


















          No dont do that, think about it if you go into more money you are gonna be praying that you were back at the original 1200. 400 a week means you are done in 3 weeks. You will be much happier with yourself. If you think you are talented put 100 bucks in an internet account and try and make some money to make your payments.

              Wow. That is brutal on the parlays. Hopefully you learned something from this weekend though sir. I think it would be wise to just pay up your debt and get that taken care of first. Just my opinion. Good luck though

                  Stop gambling son. Find something productive to do with your time, else you are going to end up in a really big hole. I'd love to be wrong, but you aren't the first and you won't be the last.

                    1200 dollars in parlays? jeebus! That will always be a losing situation for you. Imagine if you laid 100 on 12 straight bets

                                I would pay it and keep betting. Isnt that what you are supposed to do. Obviously get some better money management, but I would never owe anyone a dollar if i didnt have to.

                                      do whatever works for you, i personally would pay him at least 800-1,000. That gives you 200-400 till payday and doesnt leave your friend holding his dick.

                                        If you insist on gambling your way back...

                                        take the week off. pay some debt off. clear your head. relieve yourself of some stress. try again in two weeks. Don't do teasers. Don't do parlays.

                                          The worst thing that can happen is that you lose it all. True. Unless you have to borrow to gamble, then you can lose it all plus some. My personal stance is dont bet what you dont have. just my two cents.

                                            and lay off the teasers and parlays, as blazer advises. theyre a rush play, not a sharp wager. stay sharp, grind, profit. youre not in a spot to thrill play, bud. BOL

                                              I would pay his ass before I ever made another bet , if you win he will want his before he deducts what you have won ,
                                              sounds like you wen out of your means , and betting isnt for you n e more

                                                      It sounds like you already made your mind up. I don't even know why you started this thread.

                                                          I say do what Ralphie says. I believe in flipping idle money. But you have to be smart and not do dumb shit like play parlays. Get an internet account and put half of what you got in and do straight bets @ 50 to 100. Keep the other half to at least make a payment and u still have a couple hundred in the stash. Look in the forum and find the picks that most of us are on. U generally will come of with some good picks. Here is a start. Tulsa and Central Michigan. Catch Tulsa b4 the line gets to high. I think you are still safe @ 8 or 8.5. Good luck and practice discipline and money management.
