You could be playing cards and say that and have an entirely different meaning than the one I'm going to suggest, which is "out of money" or "broke."

"busted" is from the context below.(link: www2.oprah.com/foodhome/home/spaces/slide/200505/spaces_slide_20050525_118.jhtml)
"I am busted," Nate says. He has a TV in his bedroom—one of Oprah's biggest decorating pet peeves. "I rarely watch TV, Oprah, I swear, and it only gets two fuzzy channels, but it is in here. I am busted."

Ah. In that context, it means "I have been found out" or "You have discovered this secret I was trying to hide from you."
Another example would be that you are trying to hide your smoking from your mother - you told her you quit. But she finds you behind the garage with a lit cigarette. You are busted.
