Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 'An electrifying account of gambling addiction . compelling' - The Times 'Searingly honest . should be in the hands of anyone who has eyed a bet' - Daily Mail 'A remarkable piece of work' - The Cricketer 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 mans story. But problem gambling affects one 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. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Artikel-Nr. GOR011987376
