All you guys saying jump are ASSHOLES. This guy may or may not be serious but suicide is not a joke in situations like this. Please, STFU. 

Guy, even though you LOST everything, you're still WAY ahead of the game - here's why - you're not in much different of a position than guys your age - Except you have the smarts and skills (through business etc) to rebuild and know it's possible to get ahead through hard work. 

Don't jump. And don't think too much about what you lost, but what you have. Also, if you can't stop gambling, just restrict yourself to the Kelly system and you can't go broke. Basically betting small amounts of what you have. If you're good, it will build up before you know it.

    Get a job on a cruise ship,and then apply for a job in the cage at the casino,and then on the last night of the casino being open,take all of money,put it in waterproof duffle bags,jump overboard,then work your way back to vegas,use your comps,and party up,with multilpe chicks,and all the other vegas trimmings,and opps before i forget,come back on covers,and invite us to vegas to celebrate you coming back!

Sorry, don't jump. We see SO many of these threads, it's hard to take them serious and give a serious response.  Might as well try to find a way to Vegas and use your comps.  What else do you have to lose, plus it sounds like you're due.

And if that doesn't work, you can always get a job at Taco Bell and start back betting 5$-10$ a game and maybe you can get hot.

Suicide is never the answer and very selfish. Think of what it would do to your family and the little one that's on the way.

Stop betting. Stay away from the tv and computer. I know it would be hard to do, but man up. You will gradually bounce back but it wont be as good as it used to be. GL

pain will convince you to not bet.

the pain will be so great that you'll either blow your brains out or stop and see the light.

maybe you need more pain ... ie go to vegas

maybe you blow your brains out.

maybe you'll see the light and live a good life.

How is this not a fucking joke dude?  Your saying you lost all your shit that was obviously given to you being that your 24 and so called had all this shit.  Then you come to a sports betting website to ask for advice?  My suggestion is the mental instatuion.  Seriously this is either a fucking joke/prank or its time to man the fuck up!  I dont feel bad for you one bit my man.  If this story is true you come from a rich family and were given opportunies that most of us could never imagine being giving and you fuck it all  up BIGTIME!!!  Sorry my man yeah go to navy, go work at mcdonalds, do something like the rest of us.  Ive worked for every penny and thing I own and I dont feel bad for people who look to take the easy way out of everything.  Man the fuck up get a job and start over your 24 years fucking old.  You fucked up take it like a man and start over and quit depending on other people to bail you out.  Do something for yourself you fucking box!  Sorry but people like you irritate the shit out of me.  Should I gamble, go get comps and pan handle, man shut the fuck up and get a J.O.B.!!!  Like the rest of us!

Look up 29 Bryant St NW Washington, Dc and you will see I am the sap that quick sold my uncle's house I inherited for $400k and it was worth over 700k. The guy I sold it to invested another $20k and sold it 3 months later for $650. I pawned all my cars. Maxed out all my credit cards, gambled away all my money. Now i am 24, broke, living with my girlfriend who is pregnant and the baby might not be mine. I have stories and experiences like once my tire went flat midnight on my way to a casino 40 miles away and I was only a mile from town and I had my car towed to the casino. I then lost all my money and had to borrow money to get my car towed back home. I still have comps in Las Vegas at all of the major hotels and resorts. 2 years ago I lost $100k in one night. I have lost it all now my family will not even help me. My grandfather still has over $500k but claims he is broke. I have lost it all and even considered suicide but thats the coward way out! I can't find nothing but minimal wage jobs and my lease is up in June and don't have the money to renew. I was offered a chance to tell Dr.Phil my story but had to decline due to my mom not being able to make the trip! I have lost it all. 
Before gambling I was in college, great business, happy but now I am 24 broke without a cell phone or hope. I haven't had more than $1000 in my bank account in a year.To make things worse I owe a bookie $15k and he is looking for me.  I can get back into business but would need $10,000 but I have no way of getting it. My question for you guys is what would you do or recommended? I have listed some my options below.

-My last $28 that in my pocket into my betjamaica account and go for in tomorrow. 
-Try to get back to Las Vegas and get all my comps and try to get lucky. If I lose then make a career from panhandling on the streets.
-Go to Navy
-Jump out of a window from at least 30 stories

Help me and give me suggestions. I have been told I could try and sell my story but how? If you take anything from my story DON'T GAMBLE.
I was up $50k when I first started sports betting but since then I lose!

YO!

DUDE  YOU LIVE IN THE DMV? SO DO I!  YOU SHOULD GO TO THE NAVY! OR YOU NEED TO GO TO THE NEAREST GA MEETING IN OUR AREA . OR YOU CAN KEEP GINDING IT OUT AND DO SMALLER BETS UNTIL YOU GET OUT OF THE HOLE YOU IN! THE BOOKIE YOU RUNNING FROM IS HE ASIAN OR AMERICAN? WAS HE A FRIEND OR JUST A BOOK?

I had been there before but not at your level. Stop gamble. Start your life again with a decent job. It's not the end of the world.

Suicide is no joke, but if you're dumb enough to do it then go for it... It's your life, you can do whatever you want with it...

My advice is that you please post all your picks for the next year so atleast we can make some money fading all your picks.

Thanks in advance.

well that was a little harsh....Im not usually like that. Im sorry... Dont jump, Only weak men kill themselves. Go to the Navy for real though. My brothers are both in the Navy and love it. They have a good amount of money saved up from being at sea/another country for 6+ monthes at a time. Hell when you come out you will have a lot of connections and good friends, Money, Training for a good job. Its a win-win in the navy, All you can do is lose if you stick around sobbing and gambling. 
O and you may get a sign on bonus of up to 10,000 dollars! (if you opt for a 6 year term in the Navy)

you were handed way to much way to soon, once you learn the value of a dollar you might be a more responsible gambler , sounds to me like a reality check is exactly what you needed.

Dont gamble on every game,  Pick 1 or 2 games that you like the most and put your money on those games. Manage your money well and you'll be fine. You been gambling with emotion and not base on facts. Also at the casino dont play any other game but blackjack. You dont need to know how to count cards u play enough and if you are smart you'll see patterns and what not. GOOD LUCK MY FRIEND, DENEVER LOOKS LIKE A WINNER TONIGHT by the way
