Gambling Addiction and Me

[trips]

Gambling Addicition and Me. 1 Hour doccumentry on BBC3 tonight at 9 pm. repeated at 1am ,Alexis Conran from Real Hustle meets gambling addicts to try and understand what makes gambling for some. Alex says I met a gambling addict who looked me in eyes and said that he found it easier to give up heroin and crack than to give up gambling. I am sure most of us have watched programmes on this subject but they always seem to be hosted by someone who is not a gambler or has no real understanding of gambling, Alex hopefully will make this very interesting.

Re: Gambling Addiction and Me I hope the program discusses the subject sensibly - they very rarely do. They are a major reason that, 'gambling' is seen as a mugs game rather than a Leisure pursuit, a profitable sideline or a legitimate way to make a living... Suspect it will focus around fruit machines.... I really do not understand this addiction but my deepest sympathies to those that suffer with it. Wouldn't even spend a pound on these wretched things...
