Cliff notes at bottom

Ok so im a 25$ NL Grinder, and have about 500$ online, and 5$ in my bank account, and i made probably the stupidest decision of my life.

About an hour ago, i played a ncaa 2008 football game for 20$, and won it, so this kid challenged me to flip a coin, win i get 40, lose were even. So i accept, and he wins the flip.

So being in the perfect mental state i was in, i decide to open flip him for 50$. Basically there are four of us hanging out drinking and playing PS2, and he starts talking [censored] to me and [censored], im drunk and want to prove him wrong.

So we flip it, i call heads and it lands tails. My group of friends break out basically screaming, and at this point im kind of angry and certainly drunk, i challenge him to double or nothing. I call heads again, and it lands tails AGAIN. At this point i probably should of just walked away, as 100$ is a [censored] lot of money to me, and i really dont even have the money in real life.

But no, i challenged him again. At this point, he thought i was joking and kind of laughed about it with my friends. But i was completely serious, and then he said something to me like, "You realize you ACTUALLY owe me 100$, and that if we flip and i win you seriously owe me 200$." I told him of course i know, and i am completely serious.

So we flipped again, i called heads, and once more it lands tails. Now the other people not involved in this have kind of gotten quiet, because i just lost a 200$ flip and this was getting really intense. At this point i challenged him to another flip, and now he started saying he actaully didnt want to flip any more, because he really just wanted the money. At this point my best friend there said that we have always done double or nothing if the loser requests it, and that this is teh same deal.

Well finally we agree, and i swear to [censored] god, i call heads again and that [censored] [censored] lands tails. At this point im 400$ in the hole and [censored] furious, but im not done yet. I say look, this is it, last one, i am going to pay you either way, but we have to have one LAST flip, for the end of this. If i lose i will pay you, win we are even.

Maybe it was the alcohol, maybe it was the amount of money at stake, maybe it was my drunken rage, but he agreed to one last flip.

So on this flip, i call tails, and to my [censored] worst fear, that [censored] comes up heads. I stormed out of the room and walked back to my suite at my university.

So Cliff Notes: I'm 800$ in the whole, there are witnesses, and i have no where near close to the money, ideas? (Im not really friends with the kid.)
