Call Gamblers' Anonymous and talk to loved ones.

No sense in throwing everything away for money.

You know dude, money isn't everything but it can take it away if you let it.

I'm not trying to be a smartass here but you need to learn money management. If you're taking out loans to gamble, you should not be doing it the first place.
 
How do you pay back your bookies and loans? Can't help you there buddy. Maybe others similar to your situation may be able to help you out.

work out a payment plan with your bookie.. or get  cash adavance from cc which one of my friend does but he stop gambling after he got into so much debt with cc. he working just to pay off his debt from gambling..sometime he play once in a while to get money but i cap him at 2 dollar each week since i don't want him to get in more debt.
 
only way is get payment plan with your bookie or go find those close friend and ask them to spot you. (this is when you know who is your real buddy =))

Easier said than done. It's like quitting an addiction like sex or smoking.

Seriously ...   Step back and take a deep breath.    It is only money... 

First step -- Stop gambling and get things organized.  Write all your thoughts on a piece of paper....

Talk to your neighborhood priest or clergy man.  Even if your not a religious person, it is someone to talk to and push you into the right direction.  

Remember you can only pay what you have ...  Write all your bills on a piece of paper from most important on the top.   And just set-up payment programs.  Check things off as you pay them off.  

Liquidate anything of value you have that is not important to you to start paying loans off....   T.V. laptop etc....

Always remember food and shelter come first though ...

Seriously, I know what you are going through and it sucks ass, but before you know it you will get through it...  You will learn a lot from this experience.   Last thing ... No matter what situation your in always keep throwing punches, never give up....

stay away from the computer so you can't look up info on the games. a newspaper is not going to give you that much info. good luck.

hey there buddy, i ws in the same shoe last year, ask your bookie for a payment play, he will give it to you, just ask. after that get a job asap, don't sit at home and look up in the sky and ask why is this happening, its happened. action is the best way, work and pay it off. i know ur gonna want to bet, if u are, play small, i went from 200-300 size bets to 50-150. its a tough road but we all been through it, and yes its just money, u can make your money back, make sure ur bookie knows ur not running. gl to you and im in debt myself today, but im working and paying it off.

Great advice:  Seriously call gambler's anonymous  or the website  If you don't have 5 G's to gamble you should stay the hell away.  Sell your extra stuff and don't gamble anymore for your health.   It will be difficult especially during March Madness but YOU DON"T HAVE THE MONEY  remember that..

get a hold of your life. stop gambling , seek professional help. it's the time of the year when your friends will desert you. need to hold on to your sanity and take it slow. don't even think of games and odds for tom's games.
 
goodluck
