Ditto.
Never, ever, had to sweat a single cent I've lost.
It's still a pisser to lose - but the mortgage is always paid, there's food on the table and in the kids' college funds.

I could have borrowed to bet, i had people who trusted me and whatnut, but i didnt want to put myself in a position to have to tell someone "sorry i just cant pay you". I couldnt ever be 100 pct sure that i could pay them back, so i just never borrowed....keeping them as friends was important, and if you borrow and don't pay back, you could lose a good friend.
I've also never lent anyone money that i knew was going to be bet. I had a friend many years ago ask me for a loan and i was like "i cant give you a loan, you're just going to lose it at the track" and the "Friend" got all upset and was like "if you lend me the money i can do whatever i want with it". He got agitated that i was essentially saying that i would lend him the money only if he didnt bet it on the races. Of course, i was like "you've got to be kidding me, im not lending you money so you can blow it at the races"

Anyone that has ever placed a wager through a bookie or other non-ADW has technically bet with borrowed money.

Getting cash advances with a credit card in order to gamble is, also, a bad situation most of the time.
Way too tempting to run up a tab, and end up screwed.

my old saying is, that the only people that gamble are those that can't afford too.
i have borrowed money plenty of times from credit cards to gamble on new issue mutual bank and insurance stocks and did very well doing it. i still buy those issues today, but i don't need to use credit cards any longer.

Borrowed 20 bucks to fill out a bunch of bets. Gave the money right back after the race. Of course I hit it. Otherwise, I would have been tapped out.
That was the first and only time I ever borrowed.

I knew an OTB manager that bet with the houses money. It did not end up well for her.

My feeling is the thrill of the sport is gone if you are going over
your head and out of control .
