You bet your life : the burdens of gambling

"In You Bet Your Life, Neil Isaacs, himself a lifelong gambler, a licensed therapist specializing in the treatment of pathological gamblers, and a writer and scholar of gambling literature, methodically debunks several prominent gambling myths." "Dozens of examples, from fiction and film as well as case histories, show the different ways in which gambling can be abused and misunderstood. Isaacs argues that pathological gambling is not just a simple impulse control disorder, making this a valuable book for anyone who knows a gambler."--Jacket.
