F*cked up big tonite, what should I do?

[BBB+]

Long story short-

I book at one offshore, have for 6 years. Havent had to re-load for last 3 years. I regularly withdraw $250 a month to pay bills from this book. I make about $275-$300 a month, have for about 2 years now, and withdraw each month or 6 weeks whenever I reach $1000. Current balance is around $600.

Today I see a bonus offer. I sign up at the book and send $1500 via firepay. Have no idea what i was thinking, but put it all on Ga +2, idiot me loses.

What should i do? Withdraw the $600, and pay the $1500 debt I owe, or keep playing my system, making $250-$300/mos methodically and pay off the debt that way?

I dont have the $1500 that the firepay came out of, $$$ went to an emergency today after I signed up and funded that book.

Any advice appreciated. I figure this book will put a blackmark on me, but i know if i keep to my system I can make this back in about 5-6 months. Will this book find me at my other book and cut me off?

I dont want to stiff anyone, ill pay, just gonna take a little time and trying to figure out the best way to go about this.

PAY your DEBT first..its simple....take the 600 and pay it towards your debt its NO brainer...but itseems like you are looking for people to tell you its OK to stiff for a little bit

well it just sucks knowing with the $600 I can turn it into $1500 sooner than working it off physically with another job. thanks for the input.

Oh and for those saying get another job, Im an OTR truck driver. Yes, I learned from my mistakes, just need to move forward the best way possible.

Definitely pay your debt first and learn from the experience.

Also, with all due respect, nobody should rely on a steady monthly income from this.

I know, but it is has paid a few bills for me over the past 2 years.

A $2000 bet on a system rolling $200/month is quite a big bet.

I don't bet on credit, so I would say pay the debt...

Kwalder?

I make more per day doing this than I used to make in a month working... I sure count on it to pay the bills, but I make sure to put away 2 months expenses every month... (Out of my bankroll)

I call bullshit.

 

[sean1]

hey thats fine, believe as you wish, this is the internet, no reason to hide anything. If i was looking to hide id have used the infamous, "My friend" excuse-but to each his own.

Im just trying to be straight up about this. Take $600 I have, and try and come up with it elsewhere, or take $200 a month profit and pay it off over 7 mos.

No, I know what happens, hence why im not "going that route."

Firepay=Chexsystems=collection agencies=you know the rest.

Not an idiot or a newb, know the fire I played with, just looking for the best way to resolve.

The honest truth - if you have $600 to your name and the bank does not offer you $2000 in overdraft, you should do nothing.

If your net worth is $600, no one can advise you that paying a $2000 debt is in your best interest - your best moral interest yes, but your best interest - no way.

it's a $1500 debt.

ive got more to my name, but that is allotted to child support, to which I will most assuredly pay.

 

[sean1]

Your best option might be to get on a payment plan with firepay...

Sean

If i do that, should I start with the $600 I have in the other account, or should I keep to my system and just say set up a plan where I pay $200/mos (my winnings) to firepay each month? That's what id like to do, since I know I can make it back, just didnt know if the book would put me on some list and my current (regular) book would find out and cut me off. Do they work like that?

edit-Just sent firepay an email explaining my situation and asking for a payment plan.

 

[sean1]

Dude - seriously. If you owe child support, have bills, and are making $200/month gambling, you should quit and spend more time working.

This is not a rude post. Just counting on $200/month from a $0 bankroll is insane.

BBB, Roll with it baby! You sound like your put together rather well, I say you send it in. Bet the Lions +6.5 and call me later. Serious don't let any of these losers talk you out of popping this game

 

[Salain]

Take out a loan from another institution or acquaintance, I wouldn't recommend telling them it's for paying a gambling debt, just say you need it for whatever emergency you actually spent the $1500 on. This way you will be in debt to someone that expects to be paid in installments and you manage to keep the bankroll intact. If you lose 1/3 of that bankroll, though, cut yourself off and put the rest towards the debt.

Good luck.
