Toronto friends, I need your help.

Discussion

Guys I'm in a bad place and I need a little help. Like most people, the last few years have been tough. Barely holding things together. This has tumbled down the road and unraveled. Now I'm in one of those positions that many of us find ourselves in. I'm cringing at myself for writing this, really! I'm not sure if this will just get taken down. Fair enough if it does.

The bottom line is I'm in need of cash. But NOT a handout, I can do better than that. A month ago I lost my job. The company went bust, nothing any of us could really do about it. But now im 40 years old and have no relevant skills for any of the new growing industries. It's utterly depressing.

One of my friends works in iGaming. He helped me set up a website with some I guess betting offers on it. It's apparently all licensed and legit. Now if I can get some people to come and sign up and play then I can earn some money. Really im just trying to cover the rent so I have another month without having to tell my wife how screwed up things are.

Now, I'm not wanting people who don't ever sign up to those things to just do me a solid here. I'm looking for people who were going to place a bet on the olympics or the Super Bowl anyway. So it doesn't affect them at all.

So you guys who are planning on putting up a bet this Sunday. Could you do me a massive favour and send me a DM and I'll give you some offers. I don't want to start sharing links on here or anything publicly because I don't want to get lots of people gambling. I just want to cover my rent for one more month. That's all.

If you're going to be betting anyway, please find it in your heart to give me a message. I'll honestly be forever grateful.

Thanks for reading my essay.
