    Have you ever...
    ...intentionally overdrawn your bank account/debit card to fund your gambling habits?

    I have funds at hand, but not in my account, and the impatient degen in me sees some lovely rugby and tennis lines that will be off the board before I can make it to the bank.

    No, doesnt sound like a good thing, unless you go straight to th ebank when its available. How can you overdraw it if its empty?

            Not empty - there's quite a bit in there tied up with some pending transactions that haven't been taken out yet. So, I could, and I could very well pass it off as me being unaware...oh morals, morals...

            You're not helping, MD!

              Well those transactions would still be pending Tuesday morning I guess, so you reach the bank in good time before it goes into minus.

                  Alot of banks have overdraft protection. If you only have $50 in the bank and a check you wrote 2 days ago gos through, the bank covers it for you so you dont look like a degenerate broke fuk to the electric co. or your landlord. But you are that much in the hole with them now plus a $30 fee.

                  If you have this feature at your bank, say $100 overdraft protection, you can go to the ATM & withdraw $100 that you don't really have, but it will cost you $130, or whatever the fee is.

                  I've never done it before to feed a gambling habit. One time I was stuck in Matamarros, Mexico with little cash & my money hadn't went into my account like it was supposed to, so I overdrew $100 from an ATM & it shit me out 2 duffel bags worth of pesos

                      I spent that $100 in a whorehouse/stripclub/bar/donkeyshow theater/pharmacy/tienda in about 4 hours!

                      What I love about Mexico is the convenient one stop shopping!

                        what tennis line on today's board could look lovely to you, there is not a single match that looks appealing IMO

                          At first glance, there were a few that looked nice (Granollers, Istomin, Kudryavtseva), but I think I can be patient and wait, if I play any of them at all.

                                Good voice is telling me to wait. Fortunately, bed's a-calling, and I'm a-leaving. It's just a couple of missed bets, so nothing major. I think I'm better for passing on it, as well as the Penrith pick would've played out.

                                    I tried to do that and got raped with fees, even though I had the money in my account 3 or 4 hours later. Totally raped with fees by pinny, instadebit and my own bank. Not only that, I can't even play at pinny anymore. It's unreal.

                                      Yeah, that's what I was thinking about. Wouldn't want to put myself in a bad position with a book I like to play at. Got the funds now though, so I'm good.

                                        No because your just going to lose, if you do this you have a massive gambling problem that needs to be dealt with professionally.
