All Bets Are Off

S2 EP11: Gambling Harm Among The Armed Forces & Veterans Community

12 Nov 2020

Description

The penultimate episode of season two of the All Bets Are Off podcast focuses on the armed forces and veteran community.  On today's show we're joined by three army veterans: Drew Crainie and Nick Phillips, formerly of the British Army, and from across the pond we have Dave Yeager, who served in the US Military.  Although research is limited, like many of the communities that we feature on the podcast, armed forces personnel and veterans are disproportionately affected by gambling harms in comparison to the general population. In fact, armed forces veterans are more than eight times more likely than non-veterans to exhibit problem gambling. During the episode we explore each of the veterans' personal stories, and discuss whether or not the environment, stress and trauma's of army life had an impact on their gambling behaviours.
