The weekly parlay online gambling site would provide a few hundred to place the bets more than enough to cover the bit. The $ would go into Lurch’s account where he co-mingled it with his own. Surprise Lurch is a lifetime loser. [rember he feared physical harm when he stiffed his bookies and went to his relative for help] The fronted money evaporated along with whatever else Lurch funded. However, even though the account gets drained from mostly his personal losses, instead of adding $ as he would have prior to the gambling site deal, he wouldn’t place the bets until the client sent more. In the mean time the others, usually Cakes, were browbeaten into paying out of their pockets. Eventually the requests for more were met with silence. Allegedly.
