Bodog are scum and Calvin Ayre has screwed people since the age of time. Believe me when I tell you that $4K isn't even a drop in the bucket compared to the amounts he's swindled from his time in Canada up until now.

I'm 99.99999999% of the time the first person to side with the book and fight theft, but considering the facts, and most importantly who you're dealing with, I have no problems whatsoever with you doing a ********** Nate. After you do the **********, you and your mother's name will almost certainly be blacklisted throughout most of the industry (which should be doing you a favor).

As a personal note, I've been around the casino/gaming industry my entire life, and have personally had three people commit suicide in the vicinity of me due to gambling (two in the same month in Vegas). You, my friend, are a compulsive gambler. It's not something that you'll ever just wash off, and every time you gamble you'll be in a worse situation than you are now. I'd suggest letting your family and friends know the depths of your problem, and enrolling in a G.A. (Gambler's Anonymous) program as soon as possible. PM me if you want to discuss further. Here's hoping you're able to salvage your life....
