Gambling Addiction

[EZB]

There's a fairly large subset of gambling addicts who (are unaware they) get a bigger rush when they lose. Sportsbook parlays, trifectas for the last race on the card, etc are designed to take advantage of this science.

A close friend of mine went through something similar, cleared bank accounts, constant stress, and promises to stop that never really happened. They finally sought out therapy and support groups like Gamblers Anonymous, but it was a long road. It really comes down to whether your spouse is willing to fight for recovery or not. If they’re serious about getting help, there may be hope.

If boredom is part of the problem, maybe suggest earning rewards through things like surveys or small online tasks instead. Sites like https://cashyeah.com/ let you make money online in a structured way without the risk of losing everything.
