Gambling's a thrill. A win feels incredible. But gambling also has a dark side. Finances are ruined, families are torn apart and people become trapped in ways that are almost impossible to understand unless you’ve been there yourself.The Bet is honest stories, real journeys. Each story is of someone's life in their own words, and reveals how gambling almost destroyed them – and how they found a way out.Produced for PGF Services by Te Pūrongo Productions. Hosted on Acast.

episode Episode 6: Ivan cover

Episode 6: Ivan

Ivan describes a childhood spent constantly on the move, hiding in the dark from landlords and living in the unpredictable wake of his father’s actions. One moment his father was a superhero who would gift him a musical instrument, the next he was a destructive "tornado" who would sell it to pay off a gambling debt. This is a compelling story about the instability of growing up with a parent’s gambling harm and the search for solid ground.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
