What would you do in this situation?

**HoleWrecker** · 01-24-25, 02:54 PM

Whats wrong with Iowa ML? Seems safe enough, if I go all-in I have some more ammunitition to try to recover for the weekend. Im not talking about doing a parlay.

This thread can't be real. Who talks about a Sports-bet as if one is Financing a construction operation?

This is the same guy who was done gambling a few months back.

**HoleWrecker** · 01-24-25, 03:20 PM

It cant be real? It seems hard to believe someone could be down money they dont have due to unforeseen circumstances?

I wish it wasn't real but it is 100% as I stated.

**HoleWrecker** · 01-24-25, 03:20 PM

Betting on credit is always a bad idea.

**relaaxx** · 01-24-25, 03:32 PM

figure out how much($500 lets say)and what teams you want to place the bet on. then don't bet. see what happens., check results. I'd bet you will feel like you won $500.

**HoleWrecker** · 01-24-25, 03:34 PM

I dont see how that would be productive in any way. Winning air is not a priority at the moment.

You are a guy that always learns the hard way so here you go pal:

3 team parlay
Knights/Stars Over 5.5 -128
Milwaukee ML (NCAAB)
UCLA ML (NCAAB)

Set up a payment plan that works, even if it's $150/week, most legit books will agree to it. Then if you come into some extra money (ex: tax return upcoming), you can pay it off earlier. After paid off you can start betting again. If you are upfront and honest with most books, they will work with you. Good Luck!

I don't know about that.

Maybe you can learn a little from Richie & Fonzie ...

I made similar comments to Woj. There are really one two ways to approach gambling:

1) Approach it as a Business. So that you're very serious about it.
2) Treat it as a Recreation. Fun-Money, if you win great. If you lose, it's an Entertainment expense.

If you're not sure where you are, you're in category #2.

are legal shops open in your state? If so no reason not to access those. Putting the money up front will save you a bunch long term most likely. Promos, options and the easier ability to stay grounded will do you a world of good IMO. GL

**Eddy Munny** · 01-24-25, 04:16 PM

Chucky doesn't even know the difference between "juice" and interest.

I don't know which is worse, OP's local referring to his "mafia boss" or Chucky casually whipping out a "running the juice" colloquialism that doesn't even exist.

Exactly. The same plays that were “safe” are what got him in this mess. There’s no such thing as a “safe play”

I loved the “mafia boss” line myself.

Unofrtunately not. Otherwise I wouldnt have to penetrate with this joke of a shop. Bunch of goons with horrifying lines.

It may be time to mob to another state.

OK HW sorry to read. Once you see what legal shops have to offer you will never use a local again. There is no comparison with the competition for the gambling dollar so intense. And like we both wrote betting on credit is a major mistake. I know from first hand experience some 25 years ago.

**HoleWrecker** · 01-24-25, 06:36 PM

Yea I have seen what the legal shops offer. Everything you could possibly want and more, with cash out opportunities.

And here I am still betting like a caveman while looking up at the sky.

Exactly. Some 80 year old fukk or meatball greaseball like Tony Soprano. A penetrating Mafia Boss isn’t using any platform either. It’s “here’s my number, I want xx on xx game”

Check with the mob boss! Maybe Big Tony will match the legal shop offers!

**HoleWrecker** · 01-24-25, 06:48 PM

I disagree. Im sure some connected organizations who run operations use sites these days.

Ive already complained about the options. Thats when the guy I talked to who setup my account said "the mafia boss guy" when referring to his guy. He also said he has 300 players and Im the first one to complain about the live betting options.

Its just commercial live, theres no continuous live options throughout the game.

You have to wait for a penetrating commercial. And then you have like 30 seconds to place a bet. Its a steaming pool of dogshit.

It sounds like it’s saving you some losses.

Let’s find out. Don’t pay and report back, if you aren’t eating through a tube. Maybe they just bust ya up a little. Connected guys don’t talk like your guy. I promise.

Seems like it would be a lot easier for you to just call the guy. Tell him the situation and just set up a payment plan until it is paid off. Then you don't end up owing him 3k, and I guarantee that will be the case, if you continue to chase the losses.
