Présentation Might Bite de Patrick Foster Format Broché
- Livre Littérature Générale
Résumé : 'An electrifying account of gambling addiction ... compelling' The Times
'Mesmerising, superbly written story of despair, decline and redemption ... should be in the hands of anyone who has eyed a bet' Daily Mail
'An extraordinary story ... vital stuff' Adrian Chiles
'Gripping and harrowing ... enough to make any gambling enthusiast think carefully' The Spectator
'I don't think any book has gripped me like Might Bite' Chris Evans
The unputdownable story of a life shattered by a secret gambling addiction - and an uplifting tale of recovery - with a foreword by Marcus Trescothick.
For more than 12 years, Patrick Foster lived a double life. Turning 31, a popular and sociable young teacher and former professional cricketer, he had a lovely girlfriend and a supportive family. But he was hiding a secret and debilitating gambling addiction from even those closest to him.
Huge bets had led to huge debts, thousands of lies, and consequences for his mental health that pushed him to the edge of the platform at Slough station, where he was moments from taking his own life in March 2018.
That month Patrick had turned a ?30 bet into ?28,000, then lost ?50,000 on a single horse, Might Bite, in the Cheltenham Gold Cup, watching the race in a silent classroom as his students undertook a mock exam in front of him. In his desperation, he had taken out every possible loan, and borrowed money from family, friends and even the parents of children he taught. Although his life was unravelling around him, he could not stop.
You might think that this is just one man's story. But problem gambling affects 1 in 200 people in the UK alone. Hundreds lose their lives annually as a result. The industry is worth more than ?14 billion.
Might Bite is a shocking, cautionary tale of just how easy it is to fall victim to the insidious lure of 'winning big'. And of how recovery is possible from the depths of addiction, no matter how inescapable it seems.
'As a society, we are only just getting to grips with gambling addiction. Patrick Foster is a trailblazer. His work will help many' Marcus Trescothick
Biographie: Patrick Foster is a former professional cricketer, insurance broker and school teacher whose life was shattered by a pathological gambling addiction.

Will Macpherson is a sports journalist. He is the Daily Telegraph's cricket news correspondent. Before joining the Telegraph, he worked for the Evening Standard, the Guardian and the Times.
