Do you smoke or drink? He doesn't gamble constantly it's his only vice so if you smoke or drink you probably spend more time doing that than he does gambling, but he is definitely addicted.

And I find it very entertaining. I know that if I spend enough time reading up, looking at racecards and trying to find different angles on things I will win over the long term. Between the old betting thread and the new one I reckon I've posted about 30-35 horses over the last five years and 20-25 of them have won... at half-decent odds as well. If winning money watching a horse that hasn't been bet into favourite win isn't entertaining, then it's just not for you I suppose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a difficult one for me, as iam a gambling addict myself, have been to GA , and haven't placed a bet in 15 months. I understand why you say it's selfish and I agree, because that's how I felt doing it and knowing the amounts I was chucking away could have helped the household. But you convince yourself that you are doing it to win more money to give the household a better living. I do believe it is an illness,because its something that's a battle every day,even the compulsion to just put a quid or two on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creampuff 22,628 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I remember having a little eye roll at his "I don't have a gambling problem" two pager in his last season at Rangers.

Jimfanciesthedude 24,540 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 12 hours ago, Terry Hurlock Loyal said: I recall his gambling problems being given an expose in the Sunday Mail at the time he was with us - huge casino debts being run up which was causing problems with his relationship with his girlfriend at the time. Im sure the big rumour was that he was in debt to some "not so nice people" over his gambling and he desperately wanted away from us to run from his problems, still doesn't stop him being an absolute wank of a man Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
