what people do and the fact that people are willing to give you a second chance.
Not sure they'd be willing to give me a third one.
And again, that's sort of motivation for keep going.
Yeah, to an extent, because a lot of it is unaccounted for because it was in casinos, betting shops all around the world.
But obviously when I was going through everything, which was a pretty painful experience, I looked at it and I transacted two million or just under two million pounds worth of bets online.

I had 76 different active online accounts opened up in 63 different people's names.
I'd taken out 23 different bank and payday loans.
As I said, I borrowed money off loan sharks, gangsters, drug dealers, and ultimately turned to 113 different individuals.
During the Cheltenham Festival week that I alluded to, I placed something like 27,000 different bets.
