I feel for bad though, to be honest. Money troubles are very tough and stressful. Gambling probably wasnt the best choice. To be honest, you had a better chance of just tripling up on 2 straight bets (500W450, = 950W875, = 1825) I always try to tell this to people who say I need money fast! 

1. Dont gamble then. Save it. That $500 could have went to the bill. Thats a lot of coin if that IRS $2000 payment was tough (25%!!!!!)

2. Just straight wager and double up! You want to hit a parley anyway, right? So you need 3 teams to win, right? Well then play straight wagers and double up if you want. Find games you love. Its rare you find 3 games the same night that you've truly capped well. 

As i showed you, 2 straight wager double ups would have had you almost there. Doubling up is never a good idea, but in your situation and desire to do it, that was the smartest route. 

I hope you get it all figured out tho man. I really do. Good luck!

*Meant doubling on 2, not tripling.

After you lose your $500, call the IRS and offer to pay them $100 per month until the debt is paid.  They will accept it.  They won't garnish your paycheck.  As long as you don't miss a payment they will be fine with it.

I chased my losses last year and ended up with a credit card with over 13,000 on it. Lesson learned. I'm probably better off not gambling at all, but I want to learn to be disciplined and stay within my bankroll and eventually make this a profitable experience. Icertainly couldnt do that betting parlays.

I appreciate all your guys opinions,thanks for the advice.Yeah I know using my credit card to fund this isn't the best option,but it was my only option in my opinion.I'll have to take a loan out to pay off the taxes I owe if this falls through which I didn't want to do in the first place so hopefully I can turn things around.I think if I can just get back to where I started then I might have a chance to turn things around.If I do another 3 team parlay then I'm going to punch myself in the face.

My top teaser of the night:

Creighton -6.5
Canisius pk
Spurs +9.5

Creighton
Canisisus 
Can over 123.5

Creighton
Canisius
Wright state +11.5


But what do I know?  I do know that playing EIGHT teams is a recipe for disaster, I do very well with 3 teams though.
