Dunno if anyone watched the 7:30 Report last night. It was about the Senate Inquiry coming up that Sen X has introduced, and ScoMo's going to oversee.

One bloke started with a $5k betting bank and the bookies kept letting him bet, shouting hospitality venues, the lot....until he lost $980,000, and his wife and kids walked out! There is an argument for tighter control IMHO....some of these people can't save themselves. Trouble is these types ruin it for the pros. They profile as losers, the bookies luv em, and when you here about the big bets landing, ...YEP...there goes another one more than likely?

Another young bloke had to sell his house after losing the lot in 4 bets!
