Addicts need to be helped as you would help someone with a mental illness
Exactly, it’s an illness in the same way as it is with drink and drugs and eating disorders.

The worst thing for someone like him is to be stuck in a strange country and cooped up all day unable to do the thing he’s good at.

It makes him more likely to do the thing he’s in trouble for even more and maybe take his own life.

I still want someone to explain how there’s a problem in betting on matches that don’t involve his team?

If he was wasting £50k a week on the horses nobody would blink an eye.

Betting on a horse is no different to him betting on Accrington Stanley v Wrexham, it’s irrelevant.
