The author, Chris Stringman, gambled and lost nearly 130,000 GBP - mostly through online spread-betting. This is the story of how he managed to escape his addiction before he lost everything. He explores the gambling industry and looks at high-street betting shops, casinos, fruit machines and poker, before looking at how and why we gamble. The author gives practical guidance on how to escape the clutches of gambling and how to spot the signs in others. |
