Overcoming Problem Gambling: Advice for the gambler and the gamblers family and friends: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Overcoming Problem Gambling: Advice for the gambler and the gamblers family and friends" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Problem gambling is a significant issue in the UK where the number of gambling addicts is estimated to be around 250,000, according to the Gambling Commissions British Gambling Prevalence Survey 2007. It affects a wide range of people from teenagers and students to housewives and retired people, with increasing numbers of people gambling online. Numbers can easily be doubled considering that for each compulsive gambler there is at least one concerned significant other. Numbers are rising annually, particularly in the UK, due to the softening of gambling advertising laws, an increase in casinos, and the popularity of internet gambling. In the USA, many industry insiders predict a return to internet gambling (stopped in 06 by banning deposits to internet casinos). The recession may also make some people more willing to take risks with their finances. This book analyses how and why people - from those with high incomes to the ordinary housewife or struggling student - gamble compulsively, and looks at how to stop.

Overcoming Gambling Phil Mawer was born the youngest of three sons of an RAF - photo 1

Overcoming Gambling

Phil Mawer was born the youngest of three sons of an RAF officer, in Banbury, Oxfordshire in 1962. He attended Queens College, Taunton, Somerset where he showed greater prowess on the sports field than in the classroom. On leaving school, he took a succession of low-skilled jobs in order to concentrate on his rugby. He then worked for a French seismic surveying company throughout the UK, Ireland and Europe for nearly five years.

At the age of 24 he attended Bournemouth University studying Hospitality Management and on graduating began working on oil rigs in the North Sea. The rotational nature of offshore work, coupled with relatively high pay, saw Phils first forays into betting shops and onto race courses and were the start of his problem gambling. Having finished working offshore in order to start up a North American ski chalet business, Phil then took a number of restaurant jobs around London before beginning his remote site management career in Yemen, Ethiopia and Eritrea. Despite the higher pay and longer leave periods his gambling remained sporadic.

After seven years and a civil war in Yemen, he moved to Cyprus and set up a trading company. Three years later he was lured back to remote site management, taking a senior position in Algeria. Although successful in business, it was during this period that he fell into the internet gambling that so devastated his life. Despite being well paid and finding fulfilment in his work, he gambled himself into significant debt. In an attempt to restart his life he received a transfer to Western Australia but simply replaced the previous internet gambling with bookmakers and casinos. Having ruined such a great opportunity, he changed jobs again and worked in Afghanistan while living back in Cyprus. Again, the power of internet gambling overtook him and he ran his finances into the ground, while still performing adequately at his job.
