Why do people come here to find out how to collect money from someone?? Its pretty obvious what needs to be done. Not as though you're gonna take him to court over your illegal activities. Even if you're not a violent person you should still have some self respect and not let some loser walk all over you. Seeing how you haven't taken that next step though makes it obvious you're just going to eat the $8800.....

I'm thankful for all the responses, it's made me think with a ton more rational and clearity. Today I went to the bookie bc I could not take it anymore. I told him I'm responsible for this shit, and will own up to it. We came to the decision to pay 5k and give him all this fucks info and he'd handle the rest. Sucks I learned a huge lesson and out 5k...

My apologies. That was a class act and the right thing to do by talking to your guy and taking responsibility. He obviously sees you being sincere and is going to help you out.

Give the bookie his address, Tell him your not paying and have the bookie to send over a few dudes to "speak with him" and see how it goes from there. Just the sight of the bookie might spawn something.
HE WAS IN JAIL BUT PAID YOU 5K???
He's not a thug then cause a thug wouldn't haven't given you 5k.
My advice is have the bookie visit him and explain they will work out a plan with him...even if it's $500 a week. whatever... Have the bookie explain to the scumbag the deal....it sounds to me that this guy is text tough.
DON'T PAY THE BOOKIE...... IF THE BOOKIE SEE'S YOUR NOT GONNA PAY HE WILL TRY AND GET HIS MONEY FROM THE SOURCE. GIVE THAT A SHOT 1ST BEFORE YOU COMMIT TO $8800.
You have a 15k limit so i'm assuming you and this bookie go way back. he will do this for you. let him know your jammed up and that's it. this isn't 1985 anymore...nobody is breaking any legs here.

Babooshki, I read this thread and registered because of how much I can relate to your predicament. I too was in a very similar situation. Don't bother with the idiots who are talking all that junk to you.
In my case, it was a very, very good friend whom I trusted very much. It goes without saying that gambling can bring out the very worst in people.
After months of putting in my buddy's action, I just gave him the pw to the site to avoid the hassle. Needless to say not long after that he went on a massive cold streak and chased all the way until he lost $10k (our credit limit). It was a few years back during NCAA hoops conference tourney week and he lost about $3k during the day and another $3k in the late afternoon. I didn't find out until I went to put in some night action in and couldn't put any bets in. He put the balance (about $4k on syracuse) and of course they lost.
He didn't answer his phone for days and called in sick to work even for a few days. (we worked together too). When he finally called me back, he was beyond sick (as was I). He felt awful and gave me what he could but it wasn't anywhere near $10k.
Anyway, I was sick to death for days over it and agonizing on how to handle it. I really almost went the route of trying to stiff the book, but these were not guys you wanted to fuck around with.
Bottom line I manned up, told the book what happened and paid off the rest of what I owed in installments over the next few months. I don't know about you, but I'm just a white kid from the suburbs, not a gangster. IMO, it's not worth stiffing shady bookmakers. I would have been looking over my shoulder forever worrying if or when they were going to "collect".
I was sick to my stomach for months. Ultimately it cost me a ton of my own hard earned cash and a very good friendship, but I learned the lesson of my life.
BOL with everything man, I've been in your shoes and know how bad it sucks.

This is just a jacked up situation. But man, I would never ever let my friend do that to me. Why didn't you just give your buddy your bookies info and let him get hooked up with him and just tell your bookie to expect a call from your buddy? Nonetheless thats messed up brother and i feel for ya dude.

Not saying you're wrong... but it says like you would be driven by hate and revenge . It's a hard situation, I think every one is different, some people would fuck him up, some would let it go and pay the money and some would confront him and convince him to pay the money then if he doesn't fuck him up or let it go.

Nah, but sooner or later some thing would come to mind as a way of payback.

B. Find a way to make him pay some, all, or part of it.
If you go with 2, that is a bit of an asshole move, especially if said bookie has been good to you and always paid you out in the past, but if that 8k is out of your price range and jeopardizes you paying your bills or taking care of your family, or otherwise really hurts you finacially longterm, then do what you gotta do.
