In the hole really big. . . What do I do

Chadaroni · Nov 8, 2004

Kruser,

Very glad you came to that conclusion!! I was in the same boat exactly 2 years ago, except i was in for 5 grand, i sucked it up and borrowed the money from my dad , told him everything (which was very hard to do!!) about betting with a bookie and swallowed my pride, i felt pretty low and never thought i would get out of it, but i am glad to say that after paying this debt off (as off this month) at 250.00/month along with interest, i feel relieved that it is over!!!!! I since have not placed a bet with my former bookie, but choose to only play online as many have said before me.. "you can't lose what you don't have" i have learned a lot since this incident about myself, my gambling, and most importantly RESPONSIBILITY good luck to you in the future mt friend!!

Chadaroni,

If You Bet A Parlay You Deserve To Lose And Should Also Have The S*it Kicked Out Of You. You Can't Win 1 Game Now You Would Parlay. Do Not Listen To These People. Bet Under 57.5 To Win 2,220. Congrats If You Do This. If You Do Not Remember To Bang Your Head Against A Wall.

I have been where you are. Seems like a LONG time ago, but only 15 years ago. Yes, I said ONLY 15 years. That seems like a long time when you are 26 and looking ahead, but not so long when you are 41 and looking back. I'm guessing you are young (in your 20's?). The best thing you can do is quit NOW. Listen to the all the guys that say quit and talk to the man about a payment plan. Scrape up all you can for a "down payment". Pay as much as you can NOW, so much that it hurts. This will accomplish two things.
First, it will let the man know you have good intentions and he probably won't be quite as pissed. Be honest, tell him you screwed up but you will get him payed off. Then do it. This will help you tremendously in the future, believe me.
Second, it will hurt enough so that you remember the mistake you made and won't repeat it.

Take some time off from betting (you'll be surprised how easy it is after only a week or two) and start putting some money aside for a bankroll. There will still be games to bet next year and the year after that. I Once you have a bankroll (I suggest you bet 2% of your bankroll on any 1 game, some bet more but this is the more conservitive way), document your wins and losses each day and stay faithful to it. I bought one of those small appointment calendars and documented each day how much I won or lost and what my total bankroll was. The reason for doing this is to help avoid chasing during losing streaks or getting over confident during winning streaks. At the end of the year you will be surprised at the ups and downs. I could tell you a lot more but I feel i've been a little long winded here. email me Jim_Brooklyn_2000@yahoo.com if you would like some more info.

Excellent advice.

Advice If You Want To Pay Someone 2000+. What If You Bet Under Than You Can Pay Nothing. Your Choose Lose Thousands Or Nothing. After The Game If You Do Not Bet It Bang That Head Against The Wall. These 100 Plays Are Useless. You Can't Make Up Money Betting Like That. I Can't Believe Everyone Thinks If He Bets He Will Lose. He Can Get His Money Back.

Who are you guys kidding?

Sure the right thing is to talk to the man but Kruser wont. He knows it and I know it. He will make a bet to get even, no doubt. I was in a similiar situation years ago and won. I was lucky and I'll never forget it.

Kruser, good luck man....I feel your pain.

This is an interesting thread...keep it up

GO OVER TONIGHT

Mr. Negative · Nov 8, 2004

Play The Under Kruser Get Out Of Your Whole Your In. Let Us Know Though Before The Game What You Did.

Mr. Negative · Nov 8, 2004

Pefbear You Know Where Hell Is Get Lost With That Over S*it. Don't Confuse This Person I Am Trying To Help Him.

OccamsRazor · Nov 8, 2004

Kruser I would suggest you forgo the Indy pick. Manning is TO prone and so is Culpeper. Indy defense sucks and asking them to cover the spread is suicidal. Your odds of going 2-0 are the following

WW-Winner
LL-Loser
LW-Pay juice
WT-Loser

Games are at the same time so I believe you have to parlay them. If you bet them separate you will be ahead by knocking out that WT loser in parlays. Still as you can see you only have a 1 in 3 chance to win (WW) not good.

Bet Utah in the NBA straight up only!!! They are winning by 20+ points this season all games and just beat Denver in Denver by 24.

Kruser6 · Nov 8, 2004

Mr. Negative. .. .I know you feel very strongly about me betting the under tonight, but it is a lot easier to tell someone to bet then actually pull the trigger yourself. If I lost tonight I would be down 4,200 and be in a situation much harder to get out of then the one I am currently in. Then you are going to tell me to double on it then it is going to be even harder to bet 4,400 that i dont have. . . I am not a rich man and Iam not going to take a chancethat I could really screw things up in mylife all over somedumb gambling. Please understand. I really hope you win but as many have said. . . goodoffense vs horrid defense= chance for an over. If minny gets down Culpepper does know how to throw TDS and this could easily put the game over.

Kruser6 · Nov 8, 2004

Occams razor. . .you do make a really strong point on this tonight. I really should change mybets. As far as that Utah game itis my favorite game in the NBA yet this season. Anthoney is going to be guarded by a very good defender tonight and Utah is really putting up some points. T

Rotties · Nov 8, 2004

Good Luck and good decision not to try and double out of it. I tried that years ago and lost my arse but managed to pay it and owed a loan for 3 years. Learned back than that you set aside a bankroll and play what you got. Others said it all just wishing you luck.

Under Tonight?

scores have been getting higher every week, only 3 games under this weekend so far, many injuries on def all over the league, and umps calling the hell out of pass int. even the lowest over with the poorest teams ended at 39. nothing worse that watching the two best off in pro ball with a cork in your ass hole and trying to get an under.

no idea what i'm betting tonight, but i'm sure it wont be the under!

bornluuz'r · Nov 8, 2004

Right or wrong, you are F'n hi larry us!!! :biggrinin

ElIguana · Nov 8, 2004

Kruser, most of us have been there, Bro. Keep this in mind--you might put 2 dimes on tonight's game and bail yourself out this time, but what lesson does that teach you? Seriously, it becomes easier and easier to "double or nothing" larger and larger amounts....I'm guessing that's how you got into this jam.

A hard lesson for any capper to learn after a losing week is you just have to take your lumps and pay the man, not to bail yourself out by betting more than you can pay. GL

NEWPORT · Nov 8, 2004

2 grand is two grand. Just do not let it get worse then 2500. Because 2500 is the same as 2 grand when you are down. So wager 500 dollars tonight in parlay format.

I would bet 5 "6 team parlays" for 50 a peice. Mixing and matching NBA and NFL tonight. If he does not take 6 teamers, then reduce down to 4 teamers.

I also would defintely try and align yourself with 2 three team parlays as well for 125 a peice. at 6 to 1 and maybe more with a ml and true odds payouts. One 3 teamer at 125 and you are looking at 750 in reduction of your debt. You can hit a six teamer tonight. NEWPORT SAYS out of MINNY in NFL, WARRIORS, NUGGS, and PACERS....two of these will win outright. anyways

I know I would wager no more 500 bucks tonight and I would do it in parlays. If you try and dime up on your boy, and you miss. YOU WILL PAY DEARLY for 1 not having the money, and 2 FOR TAKING A SHOT

gl NEWPORT PROFESIONAL GAMBLER!!!!!

you bet 2 grand on the under tonight, and your see the astraturf flaming wiht points. YOU WILL WANT JUMP big time. Also, you bet 2 dimes on one play, when it took you 10plays to lose that much. Even if you hit, your local will have your number. Take your lumps....Bet 500 more tonight on parlays, and see how you do. YOU LOSE then you will not be playing until the MAN IS PAID. Your will NOT BE PLAYING until the man is paid if you lose at all tongiht. SO DO not make that much worse 500 more, and parlay it baby.

natenewton · Nov 8, 2004

by no means bet 2 dimes...if you win you are only even..."sack up" and drop 3-5 dimes on one of the four choices tonight.....REMEMBER "the less you bet the more you lose when you win"....see you at the window pimp!!!!

WharfRat+ · Nov 8, 2004

man, i'm glad i only bet online so i never have to deal with this mess.

Also, i was liking the under, but now i'll be Rooting for the over just for mr. negativity.
