    Anyone ever take out a loan to make one big bet? Does Vegas take 25k action?

    Hey guys,

    I was wondering if anyone had experience with Discovers unsecured personal loans?

    My credit score is mid-high 700's. The thing that got me was as long as you pay it back in 30 days of the loan than you dont have to pay any interest?!?!?! The loan amount is up to 25k

    here are the details:

    I dont know about you guys but it sounds like you can borrow up to 25k interest free for a month....I wonder if anyone can think of something fun to do with 25k for a month?

    What? Vegas takes any bet as long as its OKed by the GM. High Rollers make 500k plays on sporting events everyday.

    never ends up well

    even if you win you will do again and end up losing and being in debt

    I have tried a few times with credit books..not good
