A gambler who turned to drug dealing after getting into debt could face prison.
Matthew Richards, of Anagh Coar Road in Douglas, appeared before magistrates at Douglas Courthouse.
The 33-year-old admitted three counts of supplying cocaine after he was snared by undercover police officers.
He sold them 0.6g of cocaine for £100 after meeting on Douglas promenade on July 14, before selling officers 3.2g of cocaine on August 25 and 0.6g on August 27.
The case was sent to the Court of General Gaol Delivery and has been adjourned for a social enquiry report until April 12.
He was bailed and must adhere to a 11pm-5am curfew.
