I'm on verge of being homeless, Augusts rent is right around the corner and I simply won't be able to pay the bills.  I got 500 smackers in an off shore account... I need to turn it into 2500 in the next 7 days in order to pay the bills and get the money in time to do so. 
 
I already quit smoking weed cause expenses are too high.  Desperation has struck and I'm laying whatever I have on the line because there is no other alternative.  Went to a pawn shop and sold whatever jewelery I had to fund this account.
 
I hope you'll help find some sharp picks and help me get this money.
 
Any input would be greatly appreciated.  Good luck fellas.

1. Stop making picks laying big juice. How about the under here? Screw the "wind"
 
2. Think before throwing the money around. Break it up a bit first then go for the kill after you win a couple of games. For example, 175/175/150.
 
3. Good luck. I've been busted before. It isn't fun. Remember what it feels like now and do whatever it takes to avoid these situations in the future.

Or, go to your landlord, tell him what you have, and discuss payment options.

Dude, stop capping and go find another job.  Even if you have to work at McDonalds, get a job while you still have an address.

As for the bet, I wish you the best, but putting all your money on Jason Marquis is quite risky.

Take all your money, all your landlords money, and all your furniture, give it to the book, take the CUBS,  collect
 
Then get out
 
Or kick yourself in the nuts
 
Either one

Do not count on gambling to pay the bills. If you hit this take the money and run. Good luck

Your landlord doesn't want a month of no rent........Prorated over a year + what it takes to get your place ready for the next weed smoking gambler, it would take him probably him charging $750$100 more a month to the next guy just to make up for it.........(just a fiscal analogy of course)

How old are you? If still young enough to work in a decent restaurant (no shame in that) good tips, etc.... go get a job there while looking for something more similar to what you had just lost.....

Chaucer is right........but perhaps first,go grab a quick job, and discuss what happened....I'd leave your plans on betting your way out of it though......

 

(I played under 11 in that Cubs game, but hardly relevant to your situation....I don't like Jason Marquis today........)

 

Good luck to you..........

 The landlord will work with you. No landlord will evict you if this is your 1st problem. Like Dennis said the amount of money he will spend to fill your apartment and try to make you pay for breaking your lease is not worth it. Also 2500 in bills? Maybe you should have gotten a 1000 dollar apartment and saved some money for when shit hit the fan.

I understand what you're saying fellas but gambling didn't get me in this position though, actually i'm barely staying afloat the last 6 weeks because of it but expenses are tight these days. 
 
I appreciate all the advice, everyone gave great imput and alot of different options. 
 
Talking to my landlord is an excellent option but I tried that 6 weeks ago when i lost my job and he sympathized but said he couldn't cut me a break.
 
I got a job working the over night shift unloading trucks fro department store but the hours are slim and I'll never meet my expenses.
 
I'm gonna have to do it the gambling way.  There's simply no other option.
