Thought he did pretty well, for something so confronting. Important for a lot of people to hear that stuff I reckon.

The David Schwarz book is a pretty interesting read on the subject too.

A quality read, this.

Especially when he opens up about seeing his old man get popped.

Not making excuses for the bloke, but I see why he chose the path he chose.

Imagine witnessing that.

I watched the recent Ward episode. Thought it was interesting but it certainly wasnt as detailed as I had thought it may have been.

Reckon his point about all the advertising from the online agencies "normalising" it for kids, is probably something I hadn't thought of before, and a fair shout.

Completely agreed with that before I noodled off
Ladbrokes, 365, Crown, Sportsbet, Ubet, Tom Watershithouse, Odds boost, in game multi bet, weekly special. There are that many adds that seep into your sub conscience. I must see between 10-50 a day depending on how much sport I'm watching and I now have accounts with nearly all agencies. clearly the message is always there, it's made very easy to do and you are provided incentives to do it.
Never stopped to consider the market saturation but he was spot on

I will give the bloke credit. He didn't try and talk up and sensationalise any big wins and make it an exciting interview but painted a very grim picture of the social cancer that gambling can become

I watched the Daniel Ward episode this morning, he has a very confronting story to tell.

I also watched the Anthony Koutoufides and Gary Buckenara episodes from this year during the week on YouTube aswell as a couple of older episodes, Todd Viney and Chris Lewis.

It is so evident, I recall my son a few of years ago being in my works footy tips and he was stuck on one game and then says "I'll have to go Port as they are only $1.40" he was about 7 or 8 at the time.

This week I watched Glenn Archer, Tony Modra, Chris Grant and Steven Kernahan. The episodes just keep coming up in my recommended videos list on YouTube so I continue to watch them!

Enjoyed the Nick Dal Santo episode. I think he summed up his career pretty well at the start and the perception supporters held of him. Far too much time was spent on the photo ‘incident’ though. WGAF..

Was watching on youtube and replayed the 'Milne Bounce' half a dozen times. I'm a masochist. :?

I watched the Dal Santo episode on Wednesday night. He speaks well and seems like a honest, respectful fella that tells it like it is. I've liked listening to him in the media.

he is certainly refreshing in the media - a bit like jonothan brown was, though he has had all of those rough edges smoothed over too and just sounds like the rest of them now too. so im sure it will happen to dal santo too
