So many opportunities to sort himself out, so many chances but he never pulled his finger out and took any of them. Only so many chances you can be given before you have to say "you've made your bed", surely? |  | | |  |

Chopra on 13:58 - Sep 17 by blueasfook | Was in a casino with my boy on Saturday night. Junior and me were just playing for pocket money, £100 worth of chips each and see how we get along. If you lose it all, not a disastrous amount to lose. Anyways, while we're playing blackjack, a fella comes in, converts £5k to chips, and then proceeds to blow the lot in about 20 minutes. The casino by law have to make you fill out a form if you spend over a certain amount. This guy was obviously known to them and a regular gambler in there, and clearly had a gambling addiction. What they should have done is turned him away, but of course they're not gonna do that. |
Always reminds me of a time me and my dad were in the bookies. My dad at the time was £100 short for our session tickets so was hoping a little flutter might make it happen that day or worst case we would have waited the next month and hoped st were still available. Anyways. In came kieron dyer. Wacked a load of cash on the dogs. Lost and shrugged it off as a meh moment. Scary how easy it was for footballers to lose money and not give a care in the world. |  |

Chopra on 23:07 - Sep 17 with 452 views | ibbleobble | It’s an interesting debate: does rehabilitation (whatever the definition of that means - it’s a spectrum, so it’s a deeply flawed blanket term) have a ceiling? I support the right to free choice and rehabilitation to support excessive poor choice but the question always comes back to, “to what end?”, which typically becomes a socio-economic debate. |  | |  |
