I'm pretty much broke right now and owe 3 Grand to a bookie, it was 3500 last night but won 500 tonight so cut it down a little. Was actually in the same situation 2 weeks ago but luckily won 3500 over a couple day span to get even. Gonna try again but dunno if lightning can strike twice. What you think this guy will do if I don't win it back and can't pay? I've paid out over 30 Grand to him the past year so hoping he'll be understanding that I'm wiped out and will pay him when I can. I'd rather just get shot and killed than have my legs broken, plus I can't pay him when I'm dead nor can I go to work to earn the money to pay him back if I'm in a wheelchair. What you think he'd do?

You have a gambling problem sir. Trying to solve your problems with the reason for your problems in the first place is an awful idea. I'd put together as much cash as possible and tell him you are having money issues but you expect to have more soon. Pay it down until you pay it off and get some help before it ends badly.

Thirty grand over the past year? This is coming from a man that enjoys gambling...you have a problem sir. It might be time to take a good hard look at how you got here and fix your life before it's too late.

Don't know anything bookies or about the gambling world but it cant be like it is on tv/movies, it has to be exaggerated.

yeah, if this is legit, yikes.
My rule, don't gamble with money you don't have, especially personal bets. At least with going to a casino and playing the tables or slots, you can't bet hypothetical money like you do with Bookies. In fact, many bookies actually *like* it when you do hat, because now he/she/they get to harrass you, plus pay huge amounts of money on top of what you owe them.
Again, if this is true, try and pay him/her back ASAP and enroll yourself in a Gamblers Anonymous program

Don't know anything bookies or about the gambling world but it cant be like it is on tv/movies, it has to be exaggerated. Likely depends on just who that bookie is, and who he/she associates with. Since in many states, being a bookie is an illegal form of gambling, you'll have bookies closely associated with career criminals(including, but not limited to the Italian, Irish, and Russian mafias). However, in areas where Sportsbooks are less illegal, you're more likely to find a more "legit" bookie.

Hope you aren't a business owner. You might get "busted out".
Just for kicks, what exactly are you betting on? Not college football, I hope.
My advice is to stop gambling like a buffoon, and invest your money into something a little less volatile.

I've seen enough TV movies to know that you will acquire the cash by some miracle and learn the true meaning of Christmas. Plus get the girl to love you for who you are.
