Gambling Your Way Out of Debt Against the Odds

Posted on February 1, 2009 by Jill Michaux, Topeka Consumer Bankruptcy Attorney

You can’t gamble your way out of debt problems.  The odds are against you.   You might win a jackpot or two but the casino wins in the long run.  We can tell you from years of experience that gambling causes many bankruptcy filings.

Compulsive gambling is an addiction, an illness that can be treated like other illnesses.   In fact, gambling to “solve” financial problems is one of 20 signs of problem gambling according to Gamblers Anonymous, a 12-step recovery program for people who are compulsive gamblers.

Help is available for problem gambling.
