My whole body was like shaking, like I was having some kind of fit, you know?
And it was just really weird.
I got back to the hotel room and I called my mum, Collect, in New Zealand.
And I just said, I just did this.
She goes, oh, darling, something I've never told you, but your great-grandfather was a professional gambler.
And at one point in time, he gambled his house away.
He had to go and get his daughters, wake them up, get his wife and tell them this is where they no longer live.
And that one act kept that family in relative terms poor for another two generations.
That one impulsive act to gamble his house.
So I don't go anywhere near it.
Once a year, there's a horse race in Australia called the Melbourne Cup.
And I will focus on that.
And if I happen to be at home and I have the day off kind of thing, I'll put a bit of money on that.
Everything else that I do in my life is gambling.
