I Can't Pay My Local Bookie!!!

 

the responses from Criswell are spot on.

I used to run a book, and there is nothing worse than guys dodging you, that will get you in trouble. Like Criswell mentions, call him tomorrow and discuss it. He'll probably work out a  payment plan with you and not too much more. He may be a little salty, but he'll be happy you did it. Let him know you want to work with him, and you got a little carried away. Like was mentioned, when you run a book you see guys like this all the time. A guy who wants to work with you and has a payment plan, is often welcomed. Seriously though, call him tomorrow and let him know.

tell him to fuck off and he will never see his money.  What can he do?  Gambling is illegal and he stands to lose alot more should u turn out to be a bitch and rat the guy out.  If you get the feds involved he is gonna wish you stiffed him for a lousy 2k.  As he is bent over in fed pen being someones bitch!  Other than that pay the guy.

Pack your shit and move.  Also i think its probably a good idea not to gamble anymore.  Not much you can do here, you got yourself into this

Has he ever been late paying you out? If you own a car, get a title loan or something and never gamble again.
