LOL&#xD;&#xA;College Student tells me one thing.&#xD;&#xA;YOU DONT KNOW JACK ABOUT GAMBLING SON.&#xD;&#xA;Youre too young to have the experience necessary to do this for money. Ive been where you are 30 some odd yrs ago and I was told...................&#xD;&#xA;STOP BEFORE YOU DIE. &#xD;&#xA; I did and got some experience that wasn&#x27;t life threatening or financial threatening. Now I win more than I lose but ONLY CUZ OF THE LESSONS LIKE THE ONE YOU WILL LEARN FROM THIS&#xD;&#xA;GL MAN

Hi BettingNBA210, I used to be like you. You should be greedy when you&#x27;re losing. Otherwise, you will lose even more.  if you get a loan, wait until you have a good chance to win big.

Villemure30 · Answer

5k for what kind of debt?If gambling, you are better off just "manning up" and telling your man he needs to take payments.This will hopefully do  things1) teach you humility2) keep you from getting buried furtherIf it is a gambling debt...it shows you have no self control ( not judging...ive been there in the past- many have )...With no self control. ..if u get the loan you will:1) pay the man2) continue to bet3) press4) lose5) end up buried deeper than 5k......And be in a worse spot than now  Please get help5k is a number you can deal with......If this is stressing you....dont let it get to 10-15-20kYou will sufferSchoolwork will sufferYour family will sufferAgain:I HAVE BEEN THERE....I WISH I HAD ALL THE MONEY IVE LOST GAMBLING SINCE I WAS A 20 SOMETHING

the thrill of gambling, is a wager in itself. the amount is irrelevant. wager within your limits, (recreational) this advice comes to late, but future thoughts, hope you aren't my son, ducking his calls now

rangerz2478 · Answer

Well said. 5k isn&#x27;t a life changing amount, you can pay that off if you quit now until you are in a better financial position. The absolute worst thing you could do is chase and that 5k could easily turn into 25k before you know it.

Thesicilian0ne · Answer

Hey man listen ive been where you have before. Dont listen to these haters on here making jokes, I know exactly how you feel. My advice would be to ask your parents or close friends for either a lump sum or payments so you can pay the guy off. Tell him your situation and tell him your sorry, not a jerk off taking a shot at him &amp; usually he won&#39;t charge a juice. I know the feeling u start losing get down 3k then try and hit miracle parlays to break even &amp; &quot;get out&quot; next thing u know your down 5k. Pay it off then stop gambling for a while. Enjoy your college years without the stress it&#39;s not worth it honestly. I got myself in same situation in school. Used to throw parties at a bar and made 400-500$ a night and then next day pay off my bookie. Now I realize how much $ I wasted I could have spent balllling out in college with that much $. Trust me man I know you want to win &amp; leave the game a winner &amp; on top but walking away is not a bad thing. If u going to bet limit yourself to 3-500 a week that way when u make and chase the following week u dont hang yourself like this again. We have all been there man I&#39;m sorry for your situation best of luck in he futurt hope 2014 is a better year for u

Thesicilian0ne · Answer

I wasted $, lost a great girl &amp; had to deal with bookies calling my phone with threats while studying for finals. It WILL interfere with your life no matter how you try to hide it, subconsciously it will change you. Dont squander the best time of your life on this bullshyt sports
