No way!!! How would you like it if your girlfriend did the same thing??? I cannot believe that you would risk your home or relationship for the gee-gees!!! I just hope that you don't have any kids, you selfish so-and-so!!!!

go for the horse "nothing to loose" or "second to none"

and then explain to you g/f that  you to dont have a  house any more.

Answer 7

Put it on your mortgage.  You are more likely to lose, than you are to win.  I'm not being negative, I'm being realistic.

Bet half of it.....maybe you can negotiate by paying half of your mortgage if you lose!!!!

Answer 22

Horse-Racing is the defenition of bad gambling. You'd be better playing poker with the money if you have to gamble. At least with poker you've got a chance and with skill can win more than you loose.

Personally, I wouldn't risk my mortgage on a horse, or poker. It's important, too important for you to risk it like that.

Well, the bookies will be happy to take your money off you I expect. You know people make a living out of dopes like you don't you? It's like drug-dealing, only legal.

Answer 23

Only if you can stand the wrath of the g/f when she finds out you lost

Answer 24

YOU NEVER SEE ANY OUT OF WORK JOCKEYS DO YA......

Answer 25

buy your girlfriend a pair of handcuffs to stop you chucking your money away dumbo.

Answer 26

IF is a mighty big word! Do you normally pay your bills on time? Are you addicted to gambling or is this a once in a while thing? Will you have the money to pay your mortgage on time if you do spend it now? If you can still come up with the money to pay it before it is late (if you lose) then go for it! If you win all the better! But if you are going to pay late fees its costing you a lot more in the end and its not worth the fun. You should always pay the bills then play but if you are responsible and this is just a spontaneous urge that is rare! and you are still going to pay your bills! and not make a habit of this then have fun! But don't do it if you if think you might get addicted to it or want to try this again! Once is ok but not always! Good Luck, I hope you win! Better Luck that you are not addicted and can do this!!

Answer 27

Double your money!

-- and slip it right back into your pocket.

Answer 28

Go for it, just make sure you're not there when your girl friend comes home and discovers you lost all the money.

Answer 29

only if you know what horse to take. i won 10,000 dollars off the preakness stakes with curlin.

Answer 30

How about you spend 1 euro and "pretend" it was you mortgage.

In the film "Lucky Number Slevin" a married man borrows from a loan shark.  Presented with the fact and warning that the money belonged to people "you don't want to owe money to"

He apparently lost and he had a tip of a sure thing (juiced horse).  What did he lose?  His wife, his son and of course the last few hours of his existence before succumbing to tape and a plastic bag.

Maybe that's how you should perceive this itch and the end result if you go through with it.  Remember your home is an extension of happiness.  So if you think you're unhappy now...homeless status sure sucks.
