Have you ever taken out a personal loan

[SBR Lou]

How much was it for, and please tell me it wasn't for gambling purposes?

[gordon gekko]

Nope.

[flyingillini]

Yes, no it wasn't for gambling purposes more of a business one.

[JBC77]

Nope. I can't imagine taking a loan to gamble. Thats a level of degeneracy not often easily achieved.

Credit is tight right now. Go down to Bank of America and tell them you want a 2K personal loan to hit up the casino or sportsbook. They would put a boot in your a$$ as they laughed you out the front door.

What about those loans where Gary Coleman endorses... HaHa wow, have you seen the details about those.. I know a guy who did that 2 years ago and it was 99.9% interest. Talk about getting screwed...

I was took out a loan 6 or 7 years ago to get some upgrades made to the homestead. It was paid in full in 2 years. The value of the homestead has increased more than the loan. This makes me happy.

I have taken advance on My CC for gambling, but only for the first 6 months when interest was free. Also the only reason I did that was to get world points on the money being used as well. O and by the way paid it off in full the next day , lol at BOA!

That would be pretty funny, I'd imagine though most gamblers would just lie and say it's for some other kind of expense. If it's not an obscene amount they're asking for and they have good credit, sad thing is they'd probably get it.

I think I would pay(to see) some high roller poker/sports bettor, walk into like BOA, WAMU, ect. Than say I need like 200-300k, than try to explain how the world series or the super bowl is coming up lol. Most people's credit out in the gambling world is either 10 times worse or better than at any bank. I wonder if getting a loan in the state of Nevada is more difficult than in other states?

[Deuce]

5k 3 years ago. Was 4.8%.

[durito]

Yes I've used leverage to finance my investment activities.

Pre credit crisis, you could get 6 figures a year easy at 0% from credit card companies with a decent credit score.

No, Nevada is a great state. Today personal loans aren't worth it. Banks will charge you 12% on a $10k personal loan, and you have to explain what it's for. Plus it's always nice to have a real employer when applying for a loan like that.

Took a loan from Prosper.com
