    Take out a loan to place wagers?

    I know it's kinda stupid to even think of but I wonder if anyone has ever gotten an actual loan and paid it back over time with winnings.

    Taking out a loan is not such a bad idea if you are getting a bonus that's larger than the interest.

    Loans??????????????????

    In my lifetime probably had like 30-50 from banks all different amounts

    I always take extra too..like if I owed local bookie $700 I got $1200.......$400 to play with and a fukkin cushion

    It helps to know loan managers too to get loans approved and kick them back like $100 CASH outside facility

    at anyone who has said they have taken out loans or advances and it's been positive in the long run.

    Simply put, if you're losing in the first place more money isn't going to change things.

    Simple advice, never use money that isn't yours to bet or gamble.

    Your break even rate will be ridiculous once you factor in vig, payout fees and interest. Also consider you're likely making -ev plays.

    Not worth it

    The Cardinal Rule of gambling: Never risk what you can't afford to lose.

    Breaking that rule will get you into trouble faster than bad money management or bad handicapping.
