Anthony's gambling addiction began with poker and sports betting when he was only 12 or 13 years old. Within a few years, he was betting with bookies, gambling on credit, chasing losses, lying to his family and eventually accumulating multiple six figures of debt. Anthony shares how sports betting took over his life, why winning never solved his gambling problem, the family ultimatum that finally forced him to confront his addiction, and how Gamblers Anonymous helped him begin rebuilding his life.
