Chris Stringman gambled, and lost, 130,000, destroying his savings, losing his car and almost his house, but he managed to escape his addiction just before he fell over the precipice. This is not a book about how to win, rather a book about how not to lose - essentially a self-help book for the delusional gambler. The author explores the gambling industry in a way that hasn't been done before. His personal demon was spread-betting and much of the book is focused on that industry. He explains how it operates, how it sucks gamblers in and keeps them there. He goes on to look at high-street...
