It's a four-figure sum that he's lost over the last two years and it's higher than a (1)

I've been able to put bets on since I was 15

But yeah, on the day of the grand national I bet on about 10 different horses, only a few pound on each one but I wish I wouldn't/

I think if you had won it would have been worse.

That's the trouble with gambling. When you win, the next time round you lose and you keep losing until you win again and that is a long and winding road into oblivion imo.

One of the reasons why I stay away from that.

If you gamble a lot, then you are not in control of it.

My bf gambles a lot! But I dont.. I always choose the wrong things.
