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!
THIS IS THE BEST ADVICE ON THIS BOARD!!!! YOU ARE A GREAT GREAT MAN BRO.
Remember this kid, bookies dont actually bet peoples legs in real life. That shit is not worth it to them. They may scare you a little bit but thats all it will come to.
If you tell the guy the truth, he will let it go and take the payment plan. (Trust me, i know real bookies, they dont fuck with 17 year old kids especially knowing that the kid will probably run crying to mommy and daddy and in comes the police and before you know it his whole operation is busted over a measly 1k! (5 years in jail or more aint worth 1k to bookies)
KIDS...NEVER EVER BET ON CREDIT!!! EVER!!! POST UP AT BOOK AND LET IT GO!!
Ps..BTW kid your biggest problem isnt the bookie or the lost 1k..Your biggest problem now is the fact that you gamble at all. Give it up now, give it up immediately! you are 17 years old...Fuck bro!!!! 1k should be spent on jay z concerts, your girlfriend, a spring break fucking trip, a baggy or weed, may be an ipod, stereo for your car or some shit!!!
NOT FUCKING GAMBLED ON FOOTBALL!!!!!!by the way.. fuck all you telling him to bet a "lock"...Goes to prove how true it is that misery loves company!
