he cant sue you unless he wants to go to jail for gambling

No, he can't sue you. But there are about a million things he -can- do that will make you beg him to please accept the five grand plus interest with your sincerest apologies. Things generally start like most collection agencies, a polite phone inquiry, then a not-so-polite inquiry, then a discussion of how to 'work it out'. If he starts to think you aren't taking him seriously, maybe he politely 'reminds' you of your obligation by throwing a brick at your car, or arranging for someone to come to your workplace and loudly discuss your gambling problems with you in front of your co-workers, and obviously your family will be called and notified of your delinquency by those same people. From there, if you still don't pay, he can start to 'suggest' that you pay him by having someone randomly fire a shotgun into your living room window in the middle of the night. Or he can cut your brake cables for you. Or he can have someone 'accidentally' hit you with a half-ton truck in your work's parking lot. Let's just say that he wouldn't be in business if he didn't know how to 'persuade' his gamblers to cough up what they owe. And there are myriad means of persuasion available to him. Do yourself a favor. Pay the man.

If its illegal then he's not too bothered about the law right? So whats to stop him coming round and breaking your knees? Or did you think he'd crawl weeping into a corner?

# 1.Dude..a lawsuit is the least of your worries.
#2 Booking ISN'T illegal. It's not paying taxes on the money earned this is and that's what gets them busted usually.

I'd rather be sued rather than what he will probably have done to you. Remember, he operates outside the law.


WBrian_28
No...but that won't stop him from killing you.

I would suggest paying this person pronto. Then I would suggest distancing myself from gambling. These types of people do not take kindly to people that does not pay their gambling debts.Your family and freinds plus yourself are at a high risk of being hurt. Consider the worst imaginable things that one human can do to another then consider paying your gambling debt.


The Captain
Much worse things than sueing :S

No, he can't, but he can break your legs or make sure you're sleeping with the fishes.

He cans sue you but if it is a guy willing to let you bet 5 k he is obviously enough of a business mn and could have someone rough you up. I doubt they will kill you but they will try to intimidate paymnent out of you.


coonrapper
First your family disappears!!


Mark G
no..but beating the hell out of you is probably the next step..


elizabeth j
SUE, AND YOU THINK THAT IS ALL HE'S GONNA DO TO YOU.what ever possessed you to bet that kind of money if you did not have it. pray you git away with your life.


MIKE B
no but he could kill you


theskullknows
they quit breaking legs a long time ago.......... now a pretty woman gives you a hug, drops a few crack rocks in your pocket, and calls the police......... you end up in prison for selling crack
