If this is real and this bookie isn't the legit sort, you're gonna get f***ed up. If the bookie is the legit sort, you'll probably get sued. Which is at least better than getting f***ed up.

Quit gambling, pretty obvious you have an addiction, plus given your losses doesn't sound like your picks are good enough to support a big habit. I'd figure something out in terms of paying enough of your debt to keep from getting a beating.

If LA is his real location, I don't know how much of a leg he'd have to stand on, if he bet with a local bookie, as I believe betting with a bookie is illegal in the state of California www.library.ca.gov/crb/97/03/Chapt1.htmlNot saying that authorities wouldn't do anything, but it would be self-incriminating to say the least.

^^Shame we can't really discuss them but I find American gambling laws pretty interesting from an outsiders perspective. Is there any similar links that explain why bookies are illegal but casinos are fine.

^^Shame we can't really discuss them but I find American gambling laws pretty interesting from an outsiders perspective. Is there any similar links that explain why bookies are illegal but casinos are fine. It's usually determined by the states, in Nevada it's legal, in other states it's generally not. As far as casino's... it's a lot more complicated. Where i live, all casinos are on Indian territory, which is technically sovereign, so they can have casinos. For casinos that are on stat lands, I don't know the reasoning why bookies are illegal. It may be related to the fact that cities large enough tend to have pro sports teams, and the sports leagues really look down on gambling, which is why there isn't one in Nevada.

They just legalized resort style gambling in Massachusetts. Bad idea IMO. Most states have legalized lottery and keno. The difference is it's state run. The money goes directly to the state. When you have bookies calling the shots the money is transacting without taxes being paid and it's taking money away from state gambling.

Gambling is illegal in America?
In England, gambling is promoted by Ray Winstone's giant floating head.

Like stated above, tribal casinos can exist in most states, as tribal law differs than non-tribal law. Most states(save Jersey, Nevada, and a couple others) can skirt the issue by having things such as card rooms and OTB(off-track horse betting) and state-ran endeavors such as the lottery, as that money goes back into the state's coffers.

For 20k, a 10k savings, I will spend the upcoming year following you around and backhanding you whenever you try to make a bet.
If you find you're missing the experience, for only an additional 200 dollars I will break two fingers and throw in the thumb for free.

This is the same guy who started a thread a couple weeks ago claiming he ran into ODB and her butt smelled so bad, he felt the need to come on this board and post about it. I call BS on the ODB story and on this story too. The guy's a troll..... The ODB's Butt Stinks Thread spawned 5 pages of hilarity and if you took anything in it seriously you need help too. This is a serious thread and yes I have a gambling problem. It's a thrill for me to be so invested watching a game that I can't stop. Anyways, I've cut it down to 1500 this week, I can swing paying that but still trying to get even so will be sweating my ass off on the NFL this weekend.

If you sweat your ass off you'll have ODB worthy butt stench. And if you are being serious then you need help today. You trying to pay off your gambling debt with the cause of your gambling debt in the first place is akin to an alcoholic getting hammered in the morning so he'll pass out and wont drink with his friends at night
