[curious]

because of the mavs beating the lakers i got almost all of my credit gone with my bookie, i have only 500 left in credit, i need to make 3500 to get even because i dont have any money left, it is either pay the bookie or pay the mortgage

i really need this because he has some history of going after players that dont pay,

PLEASE HELP

i have until sunday to get back to even with those 500!!

THANKS A LOT

So, get a gun and you go after the bookie and tell him to leave you alone or something bad is going to happen. Cry baby.

PM a guy named fightingwarrior....He'll know what to do.

Something is better than nothing. If you have to gamble play online.

[VegasInsider]

A) Payment plan with book

B) Call the mortgage company and ask for an extension on this month's payment. Might cost you a few percent

C) Hit something tonight for 500, then work with that 1K tomorrow with a full slate of games.

good luck bro...its like i tell my son.....if you cant accept the consequences whether good or bad...dont do the deed

[Mr KLC]

Its a shame you'll never make it to 50 posts.

[LChruscial85]

Nothin pisses a Book off more than to not say anything and let him think you will have the $3500 when its due...trust me. Just call ahead and make a payment arrangement....if you know he's gonna do somethin to you, you better try to resolve it instead of ignoring him or acting like nothing is wrong, and finally, I recommend you don't bet anymore until your squared away, you will never catch up chasin...but if your droppin this kind of cash all the time..you better think of a new hobby!

dont worry they will forget about it

[brxbmbers42]

He's not going to do anything to you. Set up a payment plan. Limbs don't get broken for anything under 10K.

Listen only a half-ass ignorant bookie resorts to violence for such a small amount. In fact, almost all bookies will not even threaten you. It is a bad business decision. It is one of the few ways that a bookie can get arrested. That is what they want to avoid.

Here is the situation. If you bet with a bookie it is only a matter of time until you will come up short. It happens to almost everyone that is betting for a considerable time. I know this for a fact. Even the best come up short. It is an economic principle called--unlimited wants and limited resources. It is nothing that he hasn't heard probably dozens of times, maybe hundreds. They attempt to make you believe you are the only guy that did this to him, that is pure bs. Unless he is a 100% ahole he won't hurt you. Make arrangements with him for payments and stop betting because you are a loser. Don't take that poorly because almost all players are losers. I would say about 98%, just a matter of time.

I have a hard time that this is a serious post. This is a great reason why you should quit gambling. If you can't, bet online. You only get credit for what you deposit.

[ebbearsfb1]

Agree a few things a)bet online b) panic change ur name to ron mexico c) jump his ass knock him out cold... id imagine he'd has lot of cash on him... then pay him with that money, then have some extra for next week... d) y the hell did u bet that line? Had square all over e) what's a number play for u? If u bet 500 is that fishy ?

[dfberger23]

This needs to be emphasized:

A lot of this scenario (how he will react, etc) depends on your history with this bookie? Are you a consistent square loser customer for him? Or has he paid you out the last couple times you guys met up? Because NOTHING pisses off a local more than a guy that has gotten paid out but then has no money when it's time to pay in. If that's the case, you've got 2 weekdays left to beg, borrow or steal that money to get the 3500 or as close to it as possible.

If, on the other hand, you're a consistent loser, then as others have said, you need to scrounge together everything you have and give it to him, and offer to pay at least that much or more every week from here on out. Some folks have said "take your last $500 and give it to him," but if I read your post correctly, that is $500 in credit, not $500 cash money you have in your pocket. So you really don't even 'have' that money per se, it's just available credit that you technically could use to try to dig out of the hole a little bit. Unfortunately, that's where most gamblers go wrong, because always remember: to get out of a hole, the first thing you have to do is stop digging. If you try to chase a -$3500 balance with $500 credit, you will NOT be successful.

Bottom line: most bookies, since they operate in a legal gray area, are actually more principled and old school than you think. They are very big on your/their word, honesty, and integrity, believe it or not. The absolute best thing you can do is scrape together absolutely every bit of cash you can, via selling things on craigslist, pawning them, cc advances, etc., over the next couple days, and then call the guy on Saturday and basically say, "hey man, wanted to give you a heads up that i got a bit carried away and blew some money i didn't have, thinking i'd win a few more games. Instead of trying to chase with the last $500 in credit and losing it too, i spent the last couple days pawning and craigslisting stuff and have $X.XX to pay you on Monday. I should be able to do about that much each week, more or less, until the 3500 is paid off. I'll make this right."

You will be AMAZED at the local's reaction, and i guarantee you that you'll instantly score 'integrity' points with him and he definitely won't do anything crazy or try to intimidate you. BUT...if you blow that last $500 trying to chase, it will be OBVIOUS that you never had that money nor did you have any intentions of paying it, and were simply taking advantage of him to try to claw your way back. That, my friend, is what really pisses locals off.

But again, all of this depends on whether or not he has paid you out or you have paid him (and how much) the last couple times you met. If you can answer that question, I can provide you with a more succinct answer.

[Housemoney]

This takes me back to when I first started gambling. Roughly around the same time of year. NFL playoffs are tough.

Met my bookie at H and R Block. Had to pay them for the cash on the spot option. Never saw any of my Federal return that year, and have never bet over my head since.

[RedSox88]

Guy, stop gambling

[yoteamo79]

Exactly! Just another fake "drama" post to drive SBR traffic. OP said he had enough to pay bookie $3000 he was down or pay his mortgage. So OP has around a $3000 mortgage? Where I live that's a $400,000 house. You don't put yourself in a position to own a home like that A) If you are a degenerate who bets what he doesnt have. B) Has no savings and has to pay one bill or the other. All of my friends that are responsible enough to have a house like this arent gamblers or are recreational gamblers at best. Just another BS post. What's funny is all the posters who put so much time into their answers and advice like this guy is telling a real story

Thought you had enough to pay the bookie or the mortgage? Now you only have $220 So your going to drop your life and flee to Mexico over a $3000 debt. Ya that sounds like someone who owns a home and has a mortgage. Take a hike loser, not buying your BS. Is this guy Taylor?

[southcoastmob]

thanks a lot for your good comments,
as OmgUrMom was the last post that i read, he is getting my points

good luck and god bless you all

The best thing that could happen to you, in the long term, is that your parlay does not hit.
If it does hit you will not have learned your lesson.

[ebbearsfb1]

Why don't people just stick to online books?

[Hoja Verdes]

Why don't people just stick to online books?

That's every local's ironic dilemma. Their customers are their customers because they don't have the money to post up...so essentially their customer base is made up of people that have a legit reason (been playing with locals forever, i.e. old, and aren't good with computers, or think **/** is sketchy), or young idiots with no money who are more likely to not have the ability to pay when they lose. That's why the key to being a successful local is not extending more than 1000 credit to ANYONE until they've earned it. This kid has $220 cash to his name and was extended $3500 in credit?? That's as much the local's fault as it is the stiff's. If I were booking, which I would definitely be doing if I hadn't gone the wife/family/white collar route in life, every single person would have to shake my hand, look me in the eye, and hand me a hundred dollar bill before they were extended a dime of credit.

parley the coyotes, wash over and Atlanta in the NHL tonight
