    My 15yo neighbor wants me to put in bets for him...
    No joke here. I talk to the kid all the time, he knows I bet daily. He wants to give me $20 to put in bets for him online. He told me he will make $5 bets and he thinks he can turn it into $100 in a week. He thinks he is sharp in NBA.

    Bad idea, right?

    He will not turn $5 into $100 in a week...don't be silly.... just book his bets yourself...when he loses his $20 its your choice to give back or not...maybe let him learn a lesson...and wait for his next $20...

        The kid gets $30-$50 per week from allowance + mowing neighbor's lawns. I really should take him for what he has, no way he wins. I dunno if I can do that though. Thinking I might feel bad if he loses. Dunno why though.

        G, you might make a good point though, take his bets and dont make them and collect. I would feel shady though.

          I won 80 bucks doing this when I was 16 just betting NFL Games. Its possible he can win, but probably not a good idea for you to condone his gambling at such an early age.

            If his parents find out your dead...could get yourself into a legal mess...

            if you suck at betting the kid might know his shit though and make you some cash.

                      I agree, I doubt this kid's chump change is worth the risk.

                              There are no picks yet. I havent told him yes yet. I like his parents, they are cool neighbors, so I dont know if I should do it or not. The little fukker is pushy though, claims he knows everything about sports. Maybe we should do paper bets first to see if he knows his shit. Who knows, it could be an sbr money maker if I post his picks.... fade or play.

                                Just do it with your 20 and if he wins give it to him. If he loses, lesson learned for the lad.

                                  I love fading the young guns, mostly they are chaser and 99% loser. We all loses on our rookie year.

                                    Better to learn money early while you have nothing to lose than later in life.

                                      Your asking for trouble...last thing you need is for the kids parents asking for their sons allowance back.

                                        Have to agree with the majority. Tell him to wait till he's 18.

                                          He says he bets with friends at school and wins all the time.

                                          Think about this though, how many SBR posters are not of age??????? A lot I am guessing.

                                          I read through these threads, no way all SBR posters are 18-21. Not with the shit I read... no way.

                                          Dunno what I will do yet. Maybe just tell him to fukkk off and mow my lawn. Nah - just kidding he does not mow my lawn.... YET! lol

                                                        If he told you he smoked cigarettes with his buddies and drank whiskey would you go buy him a pack and a bottle with his cash?

                                                        Don't do it. Too many reasons why this is a bad idea.

                                                            It's such a small amount of money that it's just not a big deal. You're not gonna get in trouble unless his *parents* decide to go Nazi on you. Even then the worst that happens is you get threatened and bitched at. However, since you know his parents and said they are cool, why not just talk to his dad about it? His dad may be ok with it as a "lesson" or something.

                                                                  I dunno though.

                                                                  If I decide to do it, I will definitely post his plays here.

                                                                  He was over here tonight because his parents came over for cocktails and he took me to my back room to "play pool" and told me he might want to give me $100 and do more than $5 bets. This fukker is getting cocky!!!

                                                                  But who knows, he may know his shit? Maybe these young boys who acutally look up to these superstars know more than us? I dunno. I know he collects sports cards, he spends all his money on sports cards like I used to do when I was a kid. Man, I knew a lot of shit about every player when I was doing that, so you never know, right? Maybe this is a money maker???? Or it's a bad idea. lol

                                                                  Seriously, the only thing holding me back from doing this is... what if the kid wins. I dont want to get him hooked.
