'An electrifying account of gambling addiction ... compelling' The Times'Mesmerising, superbly written story of despair, decline and redemption ... should be in the hands of anyone who has eyed a bet' Daily Mail'An extraordinary story ... vital stuff' Adrian Chiles'Gripping and harrowing ... enough to make any gambling enthusiast think carefully' The Spectator'I don't think any book has gripped me like Might Bite' Chris Evans The unputdownable story of a life shattered by a secret gambling addiction - and an uplifting tale of recovery - with a foreword by Marcus Trescothick.For more than 12 years, Patrick Foster lived a double life. Turning 31, a popular and sociable young teacher and former professional cricketer, he had a lovely girlfriend and a supportive family. But he was hiding a secret and debilitating gambling addiction from even those closest to him.Huge bets had led to huge debts, thousands of lies, and consequences for his mental health that pushed him to the edge of the platform at Slough station, where he was moments from taking his own life in March 2018.That month Patrick had turned a £30 bet into £28,000, then lost £50,000 on a single horse, Might Bite, in the Cheltenham Gold Cup, watching the race in a silent classroom as his students undertook a mock exam in front of him. In his desperation, he had taken out every possible loan, and borrowed money from family, friends and even the parents of children he taught. Although his life was unravelling around him, he could not stop. You might think that this is just one man's story. But problem gambling affects 1 in 200 people in the UK alone. Hundreds lose their lives annually as a result. The industry is worth more than £14 billion.Might Bite is a shocking, cautionary tale of just how easy it is to fall victim to the insidious lure of 'winning big'. And of how recovery is possible from the depths of addiction, no matter how inescapable it seems. 'As a society, we are only just getting to grips with gambling addiction. Patrick Foster is a trailblazer. His work will help many' Marcus Trescothick

Introduction Gambling: The sure way of getting nothing from something. Gambling is something that happens all the time, but we don't think about it that way. We believe we are making choices rather than gambling — and we do not consider ourselves to be taking risks. We, on the other hand, are. Whether we are placing a “sure bet,” in which case we think the consequences of our choices are more likely than not to be (net) positive, taking both the upside and downside into consideration — particularly when compared to the alternatives — is critical. The common perception of people who gamble is that they are reckless or impoverished souls looking to earn a few more dollars; however, this is a narrowminded conclusion, and savvy punters demonstrate that this is not the case. According to objective observation, a significant percentage of intelligent and successful individuals also happen to be avid gamblers, even among the most ardent of enthusiasts. People with plenty of money and a luxurious lifestyle may be seen visiting casinos, sports betting facilities, and even participating in online games of chance to pass the time when they have nothing else to do in their free time, which is common in real life. That is diametrically opposed to the widely held notion that only those in danger of social exclusion are eager to win anything by putting their last pennies into casinos or sports betting. In recent years, I have begun to notice that even people who are wealthy, famous, and well-known often visit casinos, play poker, or place bets on sporting events. There are also those heartbreaking stories of individuals who have lost everything they own at a casino, which is made more heartbreaking by the fact that they are real. Nonetheless, the moment has come to begin overcoming the common stigma and recognizing the fact that even intelligent individuals may be a part of the gaming world. Here in this eBook, you will get a concise account of gambling

We are a nation of gamblers: pari-mutuel wagering at horse tracks; blackjack in Las Vegas; the NCAA basketball office pool; even day trading on the internet. Gambling is both our national pastime and our predominant cultural metaphor -- play the field; beat the odds; take a chance on love. Yet gambling poses serious risks to individuals and to society as a whole. Neil Isaacs -- sports historian, licensed clinical social worker, English professor, and a gambler himself for more than fifty years -- seeks to shatter the myths interfering with our understanding of gambling addiction, its causes, and its treatment. He begins by systematically debunking several commonly held beliefs, demonstrating that there is no such thing as the law of averages, that gambling is not inherently sinful, immoral, or criminal, and that money is not always the prime motivator for gamblers. Isaacs shows how habitual gambling can lead to compulsive gambling, but avoids oversimplifying this condition. Arguing against a undifferentiated interpretation of pathological gambling as a simple impulse control disorder, he draws examples from fiction, film, and his own practice to demonstrate additional ways gambling can be abused. A radical departure from established views, You Bet Your Life identifies the costs -- in dollars, people, families, and credit ratings -- of society's failure to address adequately the burdens of gambling.

Men, money, duelling and murder: welcome to the infamous Derby race of 1844 and the gambling mania that gripped early 19th century Britain. This is a tale of money, gambling and sporting obsession; of rogues and rascals, outrageous criminality, aristocratic complacency, and a gripping investigation to expose the most audacious sporting plot of the age. In the early 1840s, Britain was the gambling capital of Europe and the Epsom Derby was attracting countless spectators and many millions of pounds in wagers. It was a time of frenzied speculation, high stakes and low morals. But as the unprincipled Regency era gave way to the high-mindedness of the Victorian period, reformers decided it was time to challenge the murky world of illegal gambling and in 1844, launched the far-reaching Parliamentary Enquiry. When the Derby of the same year ended in chaos, with the two favourite horses doped, the Turf's most dedicated follower and greatest tyrant Lord George Bentinck, took it upon himself to uncover the truth of what happened that day, which led to one of the most sensational court cases of the 19th century. A compelling detective story peopled with low-life aristocrats and high-minded reformers, GENTLEMEN AND BLACKGUARDS paints a rich picture of early Victorian society, bringing to light an overlooked turning point in British history.
