- Alexis Conran explores gambling addiction, an affliction that ruined his estranged father, and seeks to understand how and why this compulsion destroys people's lives.
The Real Hustle is a British television series created by Objective Productions for BBC Three. The show demonstrates confidence and magic tricks, distraction scams and proposition bets performed on members of the public by Conran and Wilson with "sexy swindler" Jessica-Jane Clement. From series 10, entitled "New Recruits", Jazz Lintott and Polly Parsons joined the hustlers.
Several episodes of the series state that all marks have been genuinely hoodwinked, and that any money lost is returned to them after filming. The BBC's website states that "The marks featured in the show have no idea they are being scammed. They have either been set up by friends and family or think they are taking part in a different TV show."
Following the conclusion of series 11, presenter Alexis Conran tweeted that there were "no plans for season 12".
The show began as a spin-off of the BBC show Hustle, owing to the original show's popularity. However, the series is now considered completely separate and the relationship between the shows is rarely mentioned. The Real Hustle is a factual entertainment series produced by Objective Productions for BBC Three. It features a team of hustlers - Alexis Conran, Paul Wilson and Jessica-Jane Clement - as they try out some notorious scams on members of the public, filmed with hidden cameras. The aim is to reveal how scams work so that the viewer can avoid being ripped off by the same con. The participants featured in The Real Hustle are claimed to have been either set up by their family and friends or believe that they are participating in another television programme. After they have been "hustled for real" any money or property taken during the hustle are returned to them and their consent for the item to be broadcast is obtained.
Examples of scams
A deposit is taken on a car multiple times from different people who turn up to buy it.
A computer keyboard is replaced with one containing a key logger and bank details are obtained
A skimmer device is placed on a cashpoint with a pinhole camera inside it, recording the information on the user's cards magnetic strip along with their PIN; the data is then put on the magnetic strip of an e-top up card which is used to withdraw money from the victim's account
The black money scam at a market stall
A fake hollow cash point is installed on a busy street, in which one of the hustlers hides and records the information on the user's cards magnetic strip along with their PIN obtained from the user typing on the keypad.
In Series 8, for the first time in the show's history, a mark was not fooled by the initial scam. The scam was not pulled by the usual hustlers, but by model Caprice Bourret in a section that features celebrities performing the scams. The scam was to switch genuine twenty-pound notes with fake ones, and then exchange those fake ones for genuine tens with a shop assistant. When Caprice asked for tens and fives, the shop assistant spotted the partly hidden genuine twenties and recognized that the others were fake, so she refused to exchange them. Presenter Jess, who was nearby should anything go wrong, rushed out of the shop to alert Alex and Paul, who quickly came into the shop and confiscated the money by pretending to be police officers. - บันเทิง
As a gambling addict I can confirm that kicking this habit is so hard.. Been 5 years and still unable to stop! I started off at seaside arcade and it got out of control! Only gamblers can understand the struggle and being told just don't do it doesn't make you feel any better and it does not help.
Good luck to you, be strong
Respond anytime to chat, keep trying to stop
Kimmi Cassidy Is very easy just ask the casino to not take you in anymore, in the nethetlands we can do that. like every time you come there they say nooe you are not allowed to enter this casino. And if you do this at all casinos in town your actually safe =)
Anthony Conti thank you very much anthony x
+Kimmi Cassidy You have to understand risk... Gambling is all about math, calculated risk investments.. Once you understand that you can never beat a casino in the "long" run, maybe it will stop your addiction... So it's like this, both of us put in 50k in the middle, after playing 100 games for an hour, I take 52k and you take 48k... Thank you and goodbye.. You exponentially multiply this when you play a lot and of course, you will lose in the end no matter what... Card counters in blackjack could reverse this by betting big in a higher probability for us winning when "low bad" cards have appeared a lot of times.. But then, they found a solution to handle this and pretty much, our chance of winning is slim... FOR ALL GAMBLERS, REMEMBER THAT IT'S ALL ENTERTAINMENT NOT AN INVESTMENT
You won't understand the addiction unless you have the addiction.
very i true i have it and this documentary confirm it
Do you want to bet on that?
its true win 30k off 5k and it changes you ive won 30-50k in a night and lost 20k so it goes both ways
Kimmis right. I've won and lost millions in all forms of gambling. I play poker for a living and have for years and make good income, but everything I did escalated to other forms of gambling when I was caught up in being a huge degenerate and the things I've done are mind boggling, the stories I have are so sick and twisted its just sad. I've walked out of casinos with 100k+ profit in cash and I've also had days where I've lost that kind of $. There are so many little intangibles and sick twisted mind games and highs and lows and feelings and reasons why you do certain things or think certain ways and NO ONE understands it unless you actually go through it all on a deep level. Sure, most people who see gambling or know or heard stories they know that it can ruin you and crush you in so many ways, but they don't actually know what goes into it all the emotions, how it fucks you physically, mentally, emotionally. People will say differently, like they understand but they actually don't. You have to experience it all. It all comes down to CONTROL, BRM, managing and valuing $ and knowing when to be a good loser and quit and most people cant who gamble and you once you win a lot or hit certain peaks, those peaks become your GET-TO point and you always want more and anytime you lose an amount of $ a lot of people can't quit until they get exactly back to the exact amount they were at whether they are $200 short or not and the cycle continues and continues and than you lose more and more. You can make huge runs if you have the $ to gamble with, but if you have no purpose and you're doing it on an everyday basis you will end up bust always. Poker is the only form that is successful if you are good, slots are -EV, everything else is an up and down swing. You do go through variance in poker too but its different AND most people who gamble excessively they are numb to everything and the money they win or lose is just numbers, its like play $ in there mind. You can win 30k and if you've done it before, like you just don't put into perspective of what 30k can actually do in the reality of the world, most people look at it like oh 30k nice I can use this to gamble more and most people are severely addicted and glued to certain slots and games and it just takes over your life completely, you lose friends, everything else in life becomes a 5/100 excitement level where gambling is your niche and its 100/100. It's such a bad lifestyle, the highs are so high and the lows are so low. If you gamble and enjoy it do it conservatively and don't expect to win, go for the excitement have a few beers with friends and if you make a little bit be happy and if you lose a 100 or a few hundred bucks and you can afford it than that be it, but once you really get involved with it all on so many levels you'll do everything to gamble and everything escalates bigger, your mind thinks bigger, you'll even borrow and manipulate friends for $ and shit... balance your life and find other things that you can do, don't sit in a casino like a degen everyday seeing the same people with the same lonely down faces everyday, isn't a life.
I act on my addiction but when Ritalin came in, I stopped
I just want to talk about how lovely the presenter was, giving people getting emotional a reassuring touch or an "it's okay", just being gentle with them in such an authentic way. It is truly such a joy to watch someone treat others like people.
There should be some kind of regulation of the number of bookies in areas of high unemployment/low income
I stopped gambling 2 years ago when my son was brought into the world if I hadn’t of had my son I would still be gambling he inspired me to sort myself out
Gambling addiction is the worst addiction there is. If you have a gambling problem there is hope! There are ways to control and suppress the urges and having a solid support system from friends and family is key. I hope anyone reading this finds the help they need to quit once and for all. This is the first day of the rest of your life!!!
I don't think you can be so sure man, you will never know if you never were a gambling addict. Unless of course you are.
Hotsauce is Lethal I had a little problem, then I moved to Texas 0 gambling period in the whole state, I miss gambling it took me away from my personal problems, but horrible bad on your bank account, casinos always gets your money, it’s hard not seeing any casinos in Texas, but it saves your life, I still have problems but ideal with them in a more better way.
Excellent documentary; UK and especially Australia, as I've witnessed firsthand in the latter country, have made gambling shockingly easy. Hope all the people featured get the help they need.
I'm proud of you. I'm the daughter of a gambler. Same life as you. Only daddy left at six but was around for the grandkids till his gambling git worse. Stole from a local club ran over to state lines but eventually died. He said he was sorry in the end. He told me he was running from being molested by a family member from 3 to 9. Horrible. Yes the brain changes because to cover any kind of horror pain whether drugs gambling food hoarding the list is endless. Your dad left to protect u and your mom from himself. He didn'tean to hurt you. Believe me he loved you so much. But we are stronger than our dads because we hate the gambling but it was their escape from their horrible pain. No doubt your dad hid a horrible secret and used gambling to cover it up. Just forgive and stay strong. It would be what he wanted all his life. For you.
fascinating documentary! As somebody who completed 14 weeks in Rehab via a charity called The Gordon Moody association in the UK, I know all too well of the problems a gambling addiction can cause in every aspect of your life. Last time I gambled was 16/07/16, I started rehab 18/07/16 its no coincidence, it changed my life for the better and i write this in the hope somebody will also seek help, it is out there you just have to pick up the phone - which can be so difficult! I massively relate to how they say problem gamblers have a bigger buzz from the near misses, this was the case for me, the buzz of a near miss bet was noticeably more intense than a win. I wasn't satisfied until I Iost all my money in a way, its a very distorted way of thinking! Addiction is a mental illness i'm glad people are taking gambling addiction more seriously
I feel for you brother. My dad was a problem gambler and he died alone. He was put in potters field he had no funeral. We didn't know he died. I am his only child and i inherited his illness. Even tho i have it i am aware of it. I will always have it in me. The 20 questions that you answered i answered 19 out of 20 correct. I never got married or had any children because i was afraid that they would have this disease.
On the surface this episode is about gambling and addiction awareness, but on a more subcutaneous level it's about a sons relationship with his dad.
I like that lads mum. Great, very caring, lady.
gambling is an addiction. i used to work for a sports bookie. i saw someone win $180,000 on a monday and lose it all and owe the bookie $40,000 by sunday. I've seen some sick swings. my team used to cheat at poker games and win thousands in a night. I'm not about that life anymore but dont gamble. the house always wins. the big casinos and bookies were built with the suckers money.
You cannot beat horse races unless you are somehow fixing the races.
kurtilein3 what about if the horse plays Wii sports?
Once you meet an addict you realize that they are out of control. They know it is wrong, and where it ends, but can't stop.
I guess that is the definition of an addict.
what an honest and fantastic doc ...............thank you hope all included have found help and peace of mind .. my heart goes out to the mum xxxxx what a lovely lady god bless xxxx
love gambling but i hate losing money
I can identify with Garreth's feeling about the "fix"...10 years ago, I wasn't satisfied until I got that fix...10-12 hours in the casino. From 2005-2006, I racked up $60,000 of debt because of gambling and strung that debt along for 3 years...then bit the bullet and took 5 years to pay it off...I was lucky. I never stole or failed to pay a bill because of gambling, BUT, my savings/retirement is probably $150K lighter than it should be. Now...I go once a month and that's it...I save up for the month to go...anything outside my budget I use at the casino. Finally started saving/retirement accounts...again, I was lucky.
I had a gambling addiction I had no choice but get a exclusion done on myself from my city’s casino. So far I have taking one day at the time....
Alex ur so real and honest for telling ur story about ur dad and I thank u for doing this even though I dont gamble it is so fascinating to hear a person reveal so much realism about life and its struggles I say struggles but really its life threatening and no help is there to set u free
I lost busineses over gambling, lost inheritences over gambling, held up banks over gambling. Defrauded $1000's upon $1000's over gambling, served years in the pen over the bank robberies, blew 2 marriages over gambling, on the verge of blowing another relationship with an amazing girl and still can't quit. Lost gambling friends to suicide over the huge losses they took,. The bigger the bet the bigger the rush. I quit for a few years, had manage to save up over a 100k when not gambling, but lost my dad 4 years ago and went right back to it the day after my dads death. I have no explination, perhaps my parents being huge gamblers made it this way , while other kids were reading books at school, i was studying the horse racing form as young as 6 years old . And i am actually a very nice person believe it or not lol.
Never had a gambling addiction myself but I bet it's the same hard habit to get rid off when I play my favourite video game every morning and right after school/work. :/
I bet it is.
l enjoy this so much.been suffering 16 long years. awful greetings from usa
Good documentary, appreciated
well made... good luck with your future work
£10,000 win on 3 minuets on a fixed odds betting machine dont think so mate that will never happen.
The real Mike that rustled my jimmies
No it's possible, he would win £10 from that £2 then use that 10 quid to win £500 then £5000 and so fourth
I played online Roulette once, £10 funded, not a lot, just to give it a go.
Drew red 14 CONSECUTIVE TIMES....
The odds of drawing Red out of Red or Black is 1 in 2, of 50%.
The odds of drawing Red 15 times (just for instance) is 0.0020%......
Therefore the odds of drawing it 14 times is only slightly higher.... at that point I stopped.
It's amazing whenever there's a very remote chance (say 0.2%) of you winning big, it never happens, but when there's a chance of you losing 14 times in a row (0.0020% chance - much smaller) it happens!
Best i've had recently was I took £4,500 from a £10 bet.
The final horse to win would have won me around £11k, the final game after that was Manchester united to beat LA Galaxy at odds of 1/3, which they did, had the final horse won and I not cashed out I would have taken over £15,500 from £10.
The offer was from Betfair who are notoriously shit with cash out offers, they offered me £4,500 when in reality it should have been closer to £7k according to an online calculator.
Moments before the final race went in play I cashed out £4.5k, the horse lost easily, making it a good call.
Just recently over the last few days i've gotten incredibly unlucky, had an 11/8, 15/8 win, 6/1 and then a 14/1 just lost (came easily second but couldn't close the gap on the leader who won at 5/1).
Had that won one I'd have taken another £1.5k or so.
About 2 weeks ago I was let down by a single horse for £2,300.
2 days ago I had 2 accas, 1 let me down for £800 (and of course, stupidly it was one of the horses at the shorter price that lost, 11/8), the other acca also had 1 that let me down for £2,100, also by a shorter price horse at about 5/4.
I've seen £500 win 5 spins in a row, guy out £40 in with max on 3 and 13. Spins went 3,3,13,3,13 left with a couple grand in minutes
Being a gambling addict its so hard to stop I live in Australia and there are clubs everywhere my addiction is to pokies, sportsbetting, dogs, horses, card games the biggest issue for me is I will start betting on sports and then it always ends up on the pokies
And I usually 9 times out of 10 walk out defeated it’s a miserable feeling best way to stop is by going to Gamblers Annonymous and get some support be open minded and honest.
I have had time up and my life is much simpler without it gambling is chaotic and it will make you extremely anxious and stressful and depressed best way is DO NOT placing that 1st bet
I have been addicted from last 5 years but can't quite. ... I losted so far £25000 for no reason seriously
This is one of the saddest videos I've ever seen. I love to gamble also and go to Vegas at least 3 times a year, but my bills get paid first
Gambling is not about winning ....
Agree, it's really about chasing the loss.
Illusion of getting rich for most
Wow! Kids can gamble with a jackpot of up to $5 in the UK, that is completely irresponsible of their government! 7:08 I personally play poker for a living in Canada, my dad has a bad gambling habit with slots machines that our family has just became aware of in the last 5 years. It's especially tough for me in the sense that my success from poker is hard to share with him regarding my day to day stories and successes, cause I feel my good fortune at the poker tables will only further inflame his want to gamble...I personally have zero desire to play any games outside of poker, the idea of putting money into a machine or table game that is only meant to take it completely turns me off, but obviously for others there is a genetic dysfunction going on somewhere along the line...best of luck to all those out there fighting these demons!
Very sad, but missing one key point... These people could not accept a random outcome... The reason why gambling hurts so much is because of that fact... ACCEPT a random outcome. If you can't accept something, it will eat you up inside because... sense you haven't accepted what has happened (accept meaning where you stop thinking about it and are content with it) you create this lie that you begin to live. The problem, if you consider it being one, is that every machine (ESPECIALLY THE MACHINES) card game, or GAME.... have a dynamic and diverse set of outcomes. You are the one that places the emotion behind gambling, the more money it is, the more emotional you will become... depending on how much you value a dollar or 10 dollars or maybe a 100 dollars, everybody values money differently and places a different emotional value per dollar amounts, other than that, the machine is just metal and a bunch of button and lights. Gambling is 100% a psych game... you need to be smart, educated and consider each and every move you make. ALL these people lacked risk management and self control. This idea of control is another whole problem. This reason is because most games lack the controls you need to do some serious damage.
I feel the source of this problem is derived from the emotion created by the "Envy of the life of wealth". I believe that is what drives you to the machine, but if you don't know what the hell you are doing, you are screwed! Gambling is an addiction ,yes...but you are terminallly ill until you clock out. If you learn a little more about addiction, however, people do things to cope with things in their life... which can sometimes be a good thing... All and all, it boils down to mental prowless and just be smart about the decisions you make. Also understand that LIFE is a gamble filled with even more random outcomes!!! Instead of risking money, you are risking your life. You start riding your bike to work, you are accepting the random outcome that someone could actually run you over... the chance of that happening is very slim, but that outcome could happen... but the biker on the road has accepted it, if he didn't, he probably wouldnt ride his bike to work. This biker would also probably laugh at the idea of being run over, cause he is such a good biker. Like a world series bowler who accidentally droped the bowling ball and shattered his toe... anything can happen. LIFE is a gamble, the question is... what is at stake?
This documentary has helped me understand 1 thing deeply...
There is a big difference between what is defined as a Habit. A Habit being something you have control over .vs. an Addiction. Addiction being the thing that you have almost zero control of.
Amazing documentary, just adding my 2 cents, thanks for posting!
I have personally only remember buying a lottery ticket once in my 39 years of living 5 dollars that I lost about 12 years ago but can discribe the scenario like it was yesterday but for some strange reason I have been intrigued with gambling for as long as I can remember,I'm not sure what it is about being around it I like so much but I am so serious when I say I'm ABSOLUTELY terrified by the thought of me gambling
Very interesting despite how old it is - I would love to take the tests to see if I am or am not a person susceptible to problem gambling.
Prayers for all the gamblers out there and their families. And so it is 🙌 🙏🏼 GODSPEED, including myself ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My rule is- I only gamble when I go on vacation, I never go to the local casino, I've never gone even once because one time I go that's it I'll go again. I leave my wallets and credit cards locked in my hotel room. I bring my limit in cash to gamble with, if I bring 500$, I expect the to lose it if I'm gonna gamble it. I never stay in hotels with casinos downstairs, I make sure it's a drive away. Because even a person who is not a gambling addict can get that bug. I don't do online gambling tables or slots because they're even more rigged. But, if it's a big game I'll do online game betting every now and then.
Really good documentary, as a young problem gambler with 2 kids and a family make me think very hard about what im doing to myself and my family.
TestedModz I really shouldn't.. I make sure I pay the bills and all that but gambling is such a selfish thing. hopefully I can kick it but it's been a habit since I was 12. easier said than done!
TestedModz nice chanel by the way !
TestedModz Yeah man I really shouldn't but it's hard gambling is such a selfish act! I always pay the bills and they don't go with out but it could easily spiral out of controll.
easier said than done when I have been doing it since I was 12
Man that "near winning" theory on @43:00 is a really tough one, as slot designers are programming such features to make certain slots even more addicting. These people should be hanged lol for doing such things that would create a new breed of addicts day by day.
That hasn't stopped the absolute lowest of the low from playing two machines at a time.
KronosSlots if you put a pound in a roulette machine it will often land in the number next door so perhaps programmed that way
This is an honest question. For those who struggle with this: If an "artificial" casino was set up where you were given chips (real chips that you'd buy for 1 cent each) and you got to play the games, play the slots, feel the rush, but not really have any money invested, would that not work? Do you need to have the danger, the risk of destroying your life for it to actually feed the habit? Honestly wondering about that part.
Yes, gamblers need to feel that sting for it to have any real meaning. Hence during the near miss segment, if you had wagered only 1c on it a near miss doesn't have anywhere near the same effect that betting $100 on it would. Watch 2 for the money, theres a scene where al pacino admits he actually prefers the sting from losing over the sting from winning.
It's about the real money. No real money, no real rush.
The reason I was wondering is because during the test with the gambler with his brain being monitored, he was still showing the "rush" from the near miss, just as if he was at a real slot machine. That surprised me for that reason....it wasn't even real.
It is the same as any addiction , it does not end well.
It is the most expensive addiction because you will lose EVERYTHING.
It fucks your emotions up and you become a secretive loner.
Brenda R wouldn't b fun
53:30 I respect the man's advice. don't see him. write to him. perfect. I'm sure his dad has hurt inside for so long.
μπραβο Αλεξη.
God the casinos are so underwhelming over there. Just looking at it would stop me from going in. Looks like a Payless Shoe store
Because of my cerebral palsy I take baclofen to help my muscle spasms however one of the side affects is stopping addiction.
I'm here to better understand gambling addiction as I strongly suspect...no, make that KNOW, that a friend of mine has a gambling problem AND I am here studying this for my required continuing education for my RN license...To me, it's simply another substance...another behavior to medicate us for what hurts and makes us feel good for a few moments. For myself, I turn to shopping...which causes problems to...all depend on endorphine like chemicals to get that little or big rush to make us feel like winners! Yet afterwards...it is destructive and makes us feel like shit.
36:33 I really feel for her. That story must be being repeated a million times. The guys kids will suffer too when they come into inheritance and there's nothing left
To the Gareth dude in this documentary, i found researching quantum physics soothed my need for gambling, and if your like rain man with numbers you might enjoy it.
That wife is a no no. Why would you call it ‘protecting his family’ when he hasn’t contacted his own father for years. I get that his dad wasn’t innocent but what harm can it do to just chat with your own father.
The State and Federal government's greed for tax money that is making most of the people gamblers.
You can start gambling at 12 ... Wake up common man. It's first step to gambling addiction.
I have always noticed that they always put a lot of bookies in poor areas I wonder why
gambling addiction increases as life values decreases..appreciate life..not the money
41 30 whats that song!?!?!?! please tell me.
The homeless guy in the video is what scares me as well not to gamble anymore the reality is you are going to lose pretty much all the time its stupid thinking you can beat them there designed for fun and they don’t even do that anymore.
hello, my name is Jan M. Joson 38 yrs old single dad to 2 lil boys. I am from NYC. i empathize with the gambling addiction. great film enjoyed it very much because my mom furiously kept me away from gambling activities surrounding my family. even the sight of friendly card games for kids was bad for my mom, as she didnt want me to learn. we all gamble and that is both fact and truth. if you dont think so, open your senses. im sorry about your dad Alexis it is indeed a tragedy. as an adult i had an experience in Vegas i chased the chances of winning therefore the machine let me win then quickly lost 200 bucks. i said fuck! im outta here. keep up the great work to help others and the world see.
I used to go into arcades when I was young playing all the fruit machines when 16 I got a job it paid 12 pound a day and 25 pound for Saturday an Sunday I used to get paid on Thursday that evening I spent? 4 hours in the arcade and spent the lot I went home gutted but when trying to sleep I herd that fruit machines tunes in my head it was a warning I stayed away after that but always been a gambler I now play poker online I don't play for much 50 p 1 pound games I implemented a bank roll management into my game I've been a constant winner not all the time but over a coarse of a year I'm a winner I still get my fix and nearly play every day but never would I put my life's money on it or put others in jeapordy through my addiction it's the game I want to beat and having a game that relies on skill with the occasional run of good cards every one who's a addict I feel for you but maybe a small fee tourney online for 50 pence is the way forward for you stay away from bookies they the only winners
Let's face it gambling is a result of having a emptiness inside of us. Some may call it a disease but it all out manipulation of peoples emotions. We feel low when we lose and have an amazing high when things are going good. That is normal to feel that way. It's hard to let go of those feelings. We all want to win, success and defeat our losses. It's not a game of chance or else the casinos would suffer equally. Does it look like the odds are against them? No, imho. They seem to do amazingly well and they will continue to do well as long as they can get you to believe your a winner, champion. The free this or that doesn't come from them winning on luck. It is rigged and you hope that your the lucky winner that day, which may not be the best thing that could happen to you. It's a lore back so that can rape you for the next customer who is now the winner. Most of the machines are chipped and able to be controlled by someone. Not fair gaming. I'm learning that if you have the urge realize they're there to make a profit off of YOU! Like a carrot dangling infront of a donkey.
well said Leta
I think you have no clue of what you are talking about ,
manny mo I live 20 minutes from one of three tribal casinos and I know the estatic feeling of winning, and gut wrenching feeling of losing. I've learn my lessons.
I agree with manny, it's very clear from what you wrote that you have no idea what you're talking about.
So you think I made this up to ruin someones hopes?
Now the question is....Did he really con that lady at 2:16 because she is obviously not an actress partaking in the documentary.
No. It was a show he did previously where he demonstrates cons. But the people always get their money back afterwards
I'm a sports handicapper with a record of 59% over 700 games, I strictly only bet my own picks and bet daily, current profit is at +80 units. I'm a winning bettor. Does that mean I have an addiction? Don't think so
He sounds abit like loui theroux.
his father is geraldo rivera
Omg I feel just like them. I’m hooked to those claw machines spending 4~5$ a week. Help!!!
4 million holy sh*t
that was a sad reality shock.
& that's his dad. lots of hurt inside his dad to run from all =/
I think, people define things as an addiction once you just keep doing the same thing..... Its only an addiction when it has negative results.... SO when you go to work everyday is this addicted to work....or washing your body etc.... Is it only what society has deemed good/bad addiction vs acceptation.... IDK....What if you where good at gambling and brought home and extra 1500 a week is this then an addiction,.,,,, NEVER stealing anything , bills always paid.... etc.....?
I don't think you understand what an addiction is, at all.
Really, Been on Oxy for 10 years.....and I seem to be able to NOT OD, and lean on it as an excuse for society to accept me because I am " POWERLESS" its ADDICTIVE trap. Sorry my friend. But by all means educate in your onw WISDOM what addiction is. ITS A CRUTCH word for the WEAK!
Lol, If you have been on Oxy for 10 years, you are an addict! Regardless if you can pay your bills or not. You are just trying to justify your own habit.
Try to stop taking Oxy. If you can and never resume it, then you are not an addict. If you start taking it again, you are addicted.

you my friend are a fool! no knees and no ankle ... hmmm i guess im justfing a habit lolol!
It is a simple as you walk away, I was gambling since age of 16 till age of 24 and I had enough made a loss of over 50 grand, just walk away is the best option
That's like someone who's addicted to drugs to "just say no", but gambling is a drug. Some can, because they are not wholly "hooked".
I have known people on other addictions, like meth, some gambling, and you wonder why they just can't "walk away" some need professional help
I knew someone who worked in the same building in another company who was broke paycheck to paycheck always borrowing 5 or 10, "til next check". He always paid, but would be right back the day after payday borrowing again. One day he didn't show, I asked his co-worker what had happened to him. Oh, you didn't hear? He won top prize on a scratch off ticket and went to collect. Whoa. Great. Next day, I saw him, congratulations! He says, hey, can I borrow 5 til payday. What?? I thought you won. He says, I did, but stopped on the casino that night and put it all back in! How much? $5000. Lol.
I wear my sunglasses in the flood tunnel.

It's not a near miss we are chasing ie. Being beaten in a photo finish...
It's a near WIN we are chasing ie. Winning a photo finish on the line..
If you can't recognise when the bookie or machine has a edge you have a problem.
If you understand that edge you will stop gambling. Learn percentages
I started at ten.
This might be hard to believe but being on heroin is better than being a gambler with drugs u spend 10 pound ur done, if u gamble u put a 100 pound bet on press 1 button u lose all ur money
I gamble, but I don't do it for the trill or fix, I do it for the money. For me Gambling should be boring and methodical.
@29:04 Host to guest: "Would you consider yourself a problem gambler?" Guest:"No not really. You just have to keep on going..."THE MAN IS LIVING IN A TUNNEL IN A DESERT WITH NO RUNNING WATER, ELECTRICITY, HEATING OR COOLING AND KEEPS HIS BELONGINGS IN A SHOPPING CART. YEAH, NO PROBLEMS THERE DUKE, LMAO.
That son and mother very sad. says he is like "Rain Man with numbers". Well do something simple
. LEARN PERCENTAGES
Wow that ending almost had me crying. In the grand scheme of things it was probably for the better. If you had your dad in your life he would only go on to try and steal and extort you/from you. But very sad and touching ending
I work near blackpool I wish I saw Alex there I wud shake his hand
it is impossible to win 10grand in three mins on the fobt's, you would have to have 21 winning numbers in a row which even if it did happen would exeed three mins anyway the bum
Yeah he said he walked in with 2 quid. I doubt he put it all on one number but say he did that's only 72 quid. say he then put 25 on two numbers and 22 on another. if a 25 hits that's 900, say he puts 100 on 9 numbers that's 3.6k that's a lot to happen just to get to over 3k so yeah Highley unlikely he made 10k in 3 minutes off 2 quid lol.
They have progressive jackpots on most machines, he may have hit one of them
Thats on one bet, you can win 500 quid as many times as you like. I know I couldn't get paid out on a horse racing bet at my local bookies once because they had to pay some bloke £3500 he won from playing a FOBT. The guy in the video is obviously exaggerating but it probably only felt like three minutes to him...
Jamie Most disgusting show on television. Hustle type shows.
Teaching people how to rip people off. Brilliant.
I really enjoyed this show. If it helps one problem gambler you have done some good.
and why the fuck a group of people win on bettings dogs , football , tennis - why not letting them gambling for ever if they WON ?
3:19 ummm repeat that?
That's why gambling is Haram (sinful or forbidden) in Islam. It's destroy the peoples life.

It sounds counterintuitive but losing to problem gamblers gives them the same dopamine rush they get from winning, so that masochistic losing is a big part of why gamblers keep going. theconversation.com/designed-to-deceive-how-gambling-distorts-reality-and-hooks-your-brain-91052

Guys give your life to Jesus Christ. I was addicted to gambling for 10 years its a horrible vice but Jesus can help you overcome this demonic bondage
jesus cant do shit. the only person that is going to help you is you. Man up and sort yourself out.
1 corinthians1.18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but unto us which are saved is the power of God........repent and get saved.
2timothy3.2 For men shall be lovers of themselves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy.
Galatians 6.7 do not be deceived God cannot be mocked........you reap what you sow
yes He can! he saved me from this addiction when I could not seem to stop. I got on my knees and cried my eyes out to help me stop and now I rarely even think about gambling which is a miracle as I was hooked for years......peace
Jesus isn't going to do anything lol. Sell your soul to the devil like I have and wealth will come your way and help you quit gambling :)
correct.. but I would disagree about demonic bondage... we have to master ourselves... The good lord will only help us through faith but we need to take responsibility
i just cant stop gambling it will eventually kill me
Aaron Holt gambling is in your head. Trying to cover pain. Write down what happened to you at age one two three etc. Something horrible happened to you. Write it down. You will see it and can start to recover. Any kind of crutch ppl use (gambling food hoarding etc drug etc) ppl use to cover a deep pain. Like I said try this and let me know what you find. Stop running from yourself. U will find your answer. When u do you can find the strength to heal. And quit gambling forever. (I was molested by my dad mom said it didn't happen so I ate and ate) now I'm happy and unfat as I finally told my dad how I felt. Before he died he finally said he was sorry. But I already forgave him
Take care friend
That's exactly why it's forbidden in the great religion of Islam!
And that's the reason bro.. LOL
GREY E CAT It doesn't have to explain the 3-5 percent thing.. it just tells you what's bad for you and if you follow it you will be safe. God bless you :)
GREY E CAT You're right.. it's not called life if you don't have any problems. Islam is perfect but not all Muslims follow everything it says, including me. That's where problems start.
Lemar Hashimi fuck off u mug
Mad addict bro?
Wow, I never knew that there were so many weak-minded people with no willpower out there.
Addiction; the politically correct word in the medical professional for being weak. Sheesh.
Don't play a game you can't win! If you're not going to learn how to bet/gamble professionally and figure out a way to increase your win ratio, balance your budget, risk only 5% maximum of your budget per bet and learn to become emotionally detached from the outcome then don't bet/gamble at all.
Never gamble nothing works 💪 quitting is best.
