I am 17 years old and am a senior in high school.  I recently started betting with a bookie, that was shown to me by one of my friends.  I have had a job for 3 months now and have saved up a good $1,000.  Last week i lost $85 wich was no big deal and i paid up right away.  This week i started out great and it all went downhill from there.  I am now down $1,025, and payday is tuesday.  I have no clue what to do at this point and i need some advice.  I am thinking about just making 2 $500 bets tommorow in hopes of breaking even before payday.  If i lose, I will just confess that I cant pay up.  If my parents find out that I lost all the money i worked over 3 months for, I cant imagine what theyll feel like.  I believe the bookie i am betting with is in his early 20's, and i dont know what hell do if i dont pay.  Please give me some advice on what to do...I just cant give up all $1,000 i have worked hundreds of hours for, just becuase of one bad week and irresponsible week of betting.  Please help!

I was in this same exact position when I was 17 and if you listen to me everything will be ok. OK????
Now this is not what I did because I didn't know any better but perhaps you will learn from my mistakes.

1st) DO NOT TELL YOUR PARENTS!
If you do you be labeled a gambler and they will be up your ass asking 5 million questions,
2) DO NOT BET MORE!
This is a must. Do not chase. This will only bring more problems even if you should get lucky and win.

What your going to do is...be honest with the guy. Tell him you got jammed up. Tell him your gonna give him HALF. Pay him $500 asap.....Then tell him you'll give him $50 a week or $100 a week until its paid off...whatever you can afford.
He won't say a thing. Let him know that you didn't wanna give him a million stories but you just wanted to be honest  with him.
He will respect that and will NOT give you a hard time.

Now....
If you feel the urge to play sports or whatever...find a way to fund an online account for $100 and play a little. Learn what the fuck goes on instead of just putting bets in with your heart.

If you should listen to me I will promise you that this will be the CHEAPEST lesson you will ever learn,

Good Luck!

Its just so hard parting with all the money i have worked hundreds of hours for.  What you think will happen if i make 2 bets tommorow and if i lose, just tell the guy i cant pay up.

babs i think u gave the best advice outa anyone, and i appreciate it.  Its just so hard givin some guy i dont even kno all this money, when it is much easier to say "sorry i cant pay" and see what he does.  I think i am just going to make 1 bet 2mro for 500 and if i win that..bet anotha game 2mro for 500 and if i win both ill be even.  You gotta tell me what plays you like 2mro.  I trust you babs lol...il be tailing you w,e...i cant pick a game for shit right now.  Had colts -1.5 tonight, and got a text from my bookie right after saying "ruff game".  Doesnt get much worse than that!

i'll tell u what happened to me back then..

i was down $5,000 and two days left before payday. i bet on a team $5,000 the next day and i lost so the last day before payday, i bet $10,000 and i won. there's a very low chance to lose two straight days with just one play

Dude STOP while you're somewhat ahead.  LIke the other guy said pay half  and tell him you'll get the rest ASAP.  Owing him over $2000 will only make it worse.
