Earlier this year in the spring (I found out just recently) I believe my son (he's 24) did a credit card deposit at Bodog which he lost immediately and then declared fraud charges to the bank so they block it. So I have just found out the other day that (I was trying to deposit by E-check at Diamond) that my name has been put on fraud list and now I am getting blocked from some deposits. First I like to ring my stupid-ass son neck for this. We are totally separate accounts with Bodog but I guess because of last name and he does use my address for mail that my name got included. Having a hell of time trying to get my name off that lists and as I have always been in good standings with all books on deposits. I know I should probally pay the amount of the fraud he did ($700 I think). Just curious on some opinions and maybe also a warning to others who have family member betting. Thanks

THERES ONLY ONE GUY WHO CAN HELP YOU OUT ON THIS MATTER ASK PATRICK MCIRISH I BELIEVE HE HAD A NEPHEW WHO LOST 50 GRAND ON HIS ACCOUNT THAT HE WASNT AWARE OF.JUST TELL THEM ITS NOT YOU THAT TOOK THE MONEY FROM YOUR SON'S CREDIT CARD BECAUSE YOU ARE A DESPERATE GAMBLER I AM SURE THEY ARE PRETTY UNDERSTANDING PEOPLE.:lol:
first of all, even if it's your son, get him to pay back the debt and teach him that's what a man is about, honoring your debts. You should note that it was a pussy thing he did and that nobody likes a rat in this world. Tell him the next time he wants to think big, he better have the funds to cover his ass.
Give him a good smack for playing at Bodog too.

Make your son pay the debt plain and simple.
My dad first allowed me to bet my first game when I was 12 years old on my Birthday. He gave me $150 betting account. He told me one lesson in gambling. You never bet with money you don't have and you always pay your losses. He told me as long as I followed rule #1, then rule #2 will be easy to follow.
In college I got deep into a bookie. Some may remember me starting a thread about how I was $1500-2000 in the hole to this bookie.
I remember calling my dad, I was in tears about the money I had lost.
He said, "remember when you were 12 and I told you those two rules?"
Of course I did and he said now that you have broken the 1st rule of gambling that I told you, you are stuck with rule #2 now you better figure out a way to pay your debt.
I worked 40 hours a week and took classes full time for 2 months to pay off that debt. As a college student let me tell you that was a lesson that was hard to learn.
Moral of the story I am a better person for that and thanks to the values that my dad has taught me I am a better person and I thank my dad everyday for that. Please do the same and teach your son some values.

Now is this the real situation, or did you either A) Get drunk and do somthing you shouldnt have, or B) Have a problem and dont want to pay debt? Any parent with common sense would make their kid pay the debt if that was the case, I mean i'm only 23 and I could tell you that plain and simple.... Are you or "your son" one of them guys i laugh at on creditwagering????
This is a great story to share.
The last time I bet on credit was with a local in Dallas the year the Giants beat Buffalo in the Super Bowl.
I remember distinctly because I got about $400 down to this guy betting NBA and NFL and then he cut me off. Over the month of January I worked overtime hours to pay him back $100 a week.
He was very cool about it and even had me and my wife over as guests for a Super Bowl party. He offered to let me continue with PostUp balance, but I declined and didnt' make another sports bet until I could post up online in 1999.
