    Guys please read this, I really need some serious suggestions/advice

    Ok I have about 1200$ and I am leaving my house because my wife is cheating on me. I am so ashamed and embarrassed about this that I have turned to strangers on a forum rather than turn to real life friends out of shame. I have read this forum for months and don't post here much but I hope someone can offer me some kind of advice here.

    I am going to Reno. I will pack up some necessities and just go. I have not made any room reservations because I want to perhaps sleep in my SUV and save as much money as possible.

    What is a good way to make some money in Reno gambling? Sure methods of earning little bits of cash here and there to pay for food/rooms, whatever. Any input would be much appreciated.

    ANy really absurdly cheap hotels? Like less than 30 dollars a night? I want to use my bankroll to make money. I am considering using a martingale system to make a little bit of money on a daily basis while I figure things out.

    And please keep in mind I am not restricted to Reno. If anyone knows of one of those degen cities where I can gamble and live for insanely cheap, I am all ears. Please dont flame me for this post, I am seriously throwing up a hail mary pass in the hope that someone can give me some worthwhile advice.

    My situation is very serious. I literally have like 12-1300 dollars to my name and no source of income. If I lose my bankroll I am toast and have no idea what I will do.

    Apply for unemployment first off, try to get a steady income. No shame, No ego friend, it's all about making making it. Cut you monthly bills to nil. You need to not gamble a penny, fukk making money off your money BR, you'll be broke in a night, guaranteed. You need to hoard that cash and find a job. What skill set do you have? Prior employment?

    I have job skills but no place of residence where I am going. How will someone hire me? In my opinion I need to build my bankroll, move into a place, then seek work.

    If I could just find a way to win 50$ a day, that would be enough to sustain me. Surely someone knows of a sure way to make this happen. This is the best gamblers forum on the planet. Lots of genius gamblers here.

    NBA
    bet the mavericks ML
    jump on the knicks when undervalued
    put a little on whatever crazy plus money ML a team is getting against the magic

    And the best advice, DO NOT GO TO THE CASINO.
    Really, you shouldn't be gambling money at all in the spot you're in. You should only gamble money you can afford to lose, and you can't afford to lose a single dollar. But if you're going to, just bet sports and don't go near a casino game. You will lose that money quick.

    My advice would be to take 500$, and break your day up into several short sessions.

    As soon as you win 10$ in a session, you are done. You take a break. Go fill out a job application or inquire about the city you are in. Get information.

    The next session you do it again. Do this 5 times a day. Thats 50$ a day, enough for a hotel room and food.

    Don't get greedy, use this system, place a few sports bets here and there that are solid, and find a job.

    Good Luck

    What type of job skills do you have? Do not gamble your last 1300 away. Thats a lot of money and you can last a while off of it if you get creative. You can NOT afford to gamble right now. Apply for unemployment

    I don't understand why you are leaving your current house? Is your wife throwing you out, or are you just being a pussy and won't put your foot down? Give us some more details if you want real advice.

    Also, a good way to make $50 a day is to get a job. Once you have a job and have built your bankroll. Then you can think about living off it.

    Stay where you're at and just have a few affairs yourself.

    Not trying to be ignorant but if you have no income and only 1200 bucks to your name, maybe you need her more than she needs you. Maybe she cheated for a reason.

    $1300 is not a bankroll if it is your only income source.
    Martingaling, chasing or betting chalk will end in tears within two or three weeks.

    If you are intent on moving out, you need to speak to family or friends and see if they can give you a bed temporarily and then find work.

    if u are going to gamble, try playing any game that is close to 50-50, start with betting $2, if u lose, bet $4, then $8, $16, $32, etc(you covering your losses plus adding $2, for every bet)...with 50-50 chance game, you are going to win one of your bets...As soon as u do, go right back to $2 bets again, and start over......you can actually make pretty decent for 8hrs of gambling...JUST DONT GET CUTE AND START BETTING BIG CHUNKS, STAY DISCIPLINED...bol

    In Australia you would just walk into a Centrelink (social security) office, fill in some forms and get around $250.00 a week from the government to spend on alcohol, drugs and gambling.

    I don't know the exact amount they give you, but they paid me about that much when I was studying (presumably to encourage me to work hard at uni - I just got a very, very part time job to supplement centrelink, barely went to class and had a good time). This was a while ago, so it may even be more now!

    I doubt that helps you much... I agree though - start looking for a job. $1300 will get you through a few weeks...

    I know you want to keep gambling, but it is something for those that can afford to lose - you obviously can't right now. Get your life in order and then enjoy the fun of gambling, not the other way around.

    uild a bankroll?..never fuken happen..the gambling sure as hell wont be fun..cause its life or death

    if you must go to Reno..and all you got is 1200 bucks..apply for jobs all over the place as soon as you hit town..a cell phone will be essential..even 30 a day motels are unaffordable..you must find some little old lady or a person renting a room in their house for 3-400 bucks max..until then find a safe place to sleep in your car..maybe bet 10-20 bucks on a few games to see if you can get lucky but its hard work that will make or break you..stay the fuk away from any form of gambling except a few sports bets..since you have nothing going for you you can even work two jobs.if you have to sleep in your car at least work so much you'll be tired..if your not tired your mind will wander and you wont be able to sleep..once you land a gig or two other doors will open..get as much out of your job as you can meaning like if you work at a food joint fill your stomach each day..maybe pray a little if its in you

    If you happen to be in Miami shoot me an email..I may have a little shack in the backyard for a few bucks that is better than nothing but could not promise you anything without a complete background and interview with you..I dont know if your a psychopath or just some creep who will crawl in my bedroom window during the day when I am away

    apparently there is a hot homeless chick in Vegas. Find her and you two can buddy up in a hotel room a couple nights a week to shower.

    If she is cheating on you then make sure she eats at his place so you won't have to buy her food. But don't gamble your last $1200. Go get a job and try to get back on your feet and get a divorce so you don't have to spend money on your whore.

    I'm sure there's a few different ways a young, runaway male with no place to live could make $50 in Reno.

    Good luck with ALL THAT!!!

    There was a nice thread @ SBR about a year ago on all the underground tunnels of Vegas where the homeless live

    I think somebody started a joke about that CaspersWaits are some dude that was living there

    Do you have any naked photos of your wife to post to get back at her??? Lets start there...

    Vegas is probably cheaper. Before you leave, smash everything and then piss and shit on everything else.

    This won't make you any money but will make you feel better:

    . Go for a long run and get good and sweaty-don't shower afterwards

    go eat a bunch of pickled eggs and hot peppers and wash Down with some beers

    take a few steamy shits

    then scrub your dirty stinky ass with her tooth brush

    Another good one is Jack off and jizz in her favorite stuff- especially stuff she eats or drinks

    I think this guy is probably driving to Reno right now


    Im just not really sure if this was a wise course of action

    Guy ends up broke, homeless, and begging for money (+130)
    Guy goes to Reno, and finds job and place to live (-145)
    Guy gets in car accident on the way to Reno (+6000)
    Guy never even had any intention of going to Reno and fabricated the whole story in a desperate search for attention (+135)

    I'm no sure this will help in the United States but lets try mate...
    In Scotland it would be stay in the house if shes cheatin let the bitch move out because you get
    possession of the house until the divorce case so dont move!!
    Dont spend a penny on her (nae petrol money, nae meals, nothin)
    Invite a hooker round to yours but with that bankroll only a $300 hooker the first night,
    $250 hooker the second night $200 next night (remember its all money about money management)
    and if she's no walked by then at least ya enjoyed yourself a few times!!

    Disclaimer: Bringing a hooker to house might hurt your cause in court at divorce case!!

    Good luck
