Serious advice needed

Question

For 2 months I have been living at my friends house who is married, paying rent. I sold my car to keep gambling, I won a bunch of money and gave most of it back, leaving me broke again. My Dad sent me some money, some of i which I owed my friend, so I payed him.

I currently have about 900$ to my name, I must leave this place in about a week, I have no car, no job, and my only income is 118$ a week (which may not even go through for sure, although it probably will).

I am nearing the end of the line. The last strings, if you will.

I have been gambling for 14 years and have finally begun to near homelessness. If I lose this remaining money, I will be broke with nowehere to go, literally. I don't feel I can really get a job because my job history is so patchy because I have spent years travelling/gambling.

I would be forced to go to a homeless shelter. Yet I am still considering depositing, I know Im capable of winning.

I cant talk to any friends or family about this for obivous reasons so I thought I would make a post and invite peoples opinions and advice. Plus you motherfukkers are alays funnier than shit and you are always good for a light hearted laugh so I thought maybe we could kill two birds with one stone. Would appreciate if I could get some vauable serious advice at some point in here though.

Good luck guys in your battles with your book. May prosperity and whatever we are after await us all.

All joking aside, I have way too much experience with needing to win desperate situations. It sure makes for a hell of a day when you have your livelyhood on a game

I would say if I was guessing that in your tough position your in or any desperate situation, gambling will pay off at best 3 out of 10 attempts. And those 7 other times will suck worse than anything else that has ever sucked

I still battle with making bad risky situations but I would say do the best you can do with that $900 and not bank on gambling. But truth is sometimes I cant even follow that advice.

Sold your car to keep gambling? I doubt anyone here can help you. Good luck getting your life on the right track, hope you succeed.

why can&#x27;t you tell your family? Maybe they can help you out by letting you move back in until you can get yourself straightened out. My best advice would be that you should be honest with your family. Start going to GA meetings and work on getting a job. Shits not worth the stress and you will probably lose and end up in a shelter wishing you had that 900 still anyway. Good luck

captjohn67 · Answer

tmstr929 · Answer

i&#x27;m not sure what the "obvious reasons" are for not being able to talk to family and friends, but your dad seems willing to help you out.there&#x27;s one game left on the board, and that&#x27;s LIFE, and you have one play left, and that&#x27;s YOU, my advice would be to GO ALL IN!!, bet on you!now i&#x27;ll place my bet, i&#x27;m betting if your situation gets to the point when you hit rock bottom, and you find yourself broke and homeless, your friends and family that for whatever reason you feel you can&#x27;t turn to, will say, WHY DIDN&#x27;T YOU COME TO US?

SirJohnDrake · Answer

1. Quit gambling right now because you&#x27;re not in a position where you can afford to gamble...you don&#x27;t have the money to support it. Gambling is for people who have a bankroll who can afford to take setbacks.&#xD;&#xA;2. See if you can move in with your Dad until you get back on your feet again. You tell him it&#x27;s just temporary. &#xD;&#xA;3. Go find a job, even if for now it&#x27;s minimum wage.

Gunners · Answer

can you really not get a minimum wage job? at mcdonalds? or cutting grass for a landscaper? nothing?

Is it possible for anyone in this country to spend a week looking for a minimum wage job and NOT find one?

hell, work two of them. cut grass from 6am to 2pm and wash dishes from 6pm to 1am and then do it all over. don't take the easy way out, get a fucking job or jobs and put in your time. sounds like you haven't worked a day in your life. time to fucking man up. get to work. and get to work double-time. you can see what being a freeloading unemployed gambler has done for you. MAN THE FUCK UP

dopalicous · Answer

Bet it all on Clubber Lang

Gunners · Answer

waaaa, i lost all my money, who can help? waaaaa

MAN THE FUCK UP. you know what you have to do. fuck man. everyone's a victim. get a fucking job. don't come back on covers.com until you do. don't do anything else until you do. do not gamble away your last dollars. get a job. shovel shit behind a horse in a parade. do anything. don't be picky, take the first thing you get and be a man and start your life over.

gamble04 · Answer

Gunners is correct you do need to get a job and you will still be able to gamble and you will feel a lot better also.

umgmu · Answer

the economy is getting somewhat better so even if it&#x27;s a low wage job .. find one no find 2 and man up..

Gunners · Answer

I went to subway for lunch today. I had to deal with 3 utter imbociles to get the correct order in and pay for it. I COULD NOT EVEN IMAGINE anyone being less qualified than these 3 idiots.

Therefore, if you're unemployed, I have no fucking sympathy for you. Because I just saw the 3 most worthless human beings on the planet making more money in a day than you will have to your name once you lose your next bet.

captaincredit · Answer

I have been working 2 jobs for over 2 years now since I quit gambling. It can be done. It&#x27;s a matter of self-discipline. &#xD;&#xA;Best of luck
