Hmmmm, quite a dilemma indeed. Would be helpful to know more details about what led to this downturn in your life and if there are other players still in your life.

In a nutshell, I am guessing that blowing a couple grand at the track isn't the answer to your problems. Win or lose you will eventually run out of your original stake and the only thing you will have accomplished is having $2000 less for the judge to divide between you and the ex-wife or soon to be ex-wife. (I am guessing there is an ex-wife or soon to be ex-wife because no wife would give her hubby the ok to play the horses for a living after losing his job.)

Invest the money in finding a new job. As boring as this sounds everyone knows it is the smart thing to do.

(Or buy 2000 Powerball tickets. The jackpot is $150 million. If you win....remember who gave you the advice that changed your life.....)
