Über diesen Titel

Gambling's a thrill. A win feels incredible. But gambling also has a dark side. Finances are ruined, families are torn apart and people become trapped in ways that are almost impossible to understand unless you’ve been there yourself.


The Bet is honest stories, real journeys. Each story is of someone's life in their own words, and reveals how gambling almost destroyed them – and how they found a way out.

She tells the story of how a casual $20 bet escalated into secretly depositing thousands from her life savings while lying next to her partner in the middle of the night.
