Gambling Addiction PODCAST #15: 'Football, Roulette, & Gamtalk' - Paul Pettigrew

Gambling Addiction PODCAST #15: 'Football, Roulette, & Gamtalk' - Paul Pettigrew

I’m delighted to announce that the second guest in Series 3 of The Invisible Addiction Podcast is Gamtalk founder Paul Pettigrew.

In the Podcast Paul shares his gambling addiction story.

I wanted to explore the relationship between football and gambling. (Paul used to play for Greenock Morton FC).

Did being released as a footballer lead him to gamble?

What impact did his addiction have on his life?

What advice and tips does he have for people experiencing gambling problems?

Paul has a harrowing story, one of despair, but also one of hope and inspiration.

It’s an amazing journey to hear, and it’s a Podcast I’ve been hugely excited to share with you!

Here's a rough breakdown of the conversation:

00:00 Introductions and learning more about Paul’s footballing journey

13:50 How did he start gambling?

23:10 How did his gambling progress into an addiction?

29:40 How bad were his gambling debts?

46:44 How did Paul get help for his gambling?

55:45 How did Gamtalk come about?

***

As mentioned in the Podcast, the BBC Three documentary about homelessness in Manchester is called 'Britain's Forgotten Men'. Well worth a watch on YouTube!
