Gambler Debt Soaring to Crazy Heights and Climbing. Blamed on a Hopeless Economy.

In Wisconsin a gambling addiction hotline has seen a substantial increase in the amount of debt gamblers are carrying.

The average reported gambling debt in 2011 was more than $157,000, a huge increase over the average debt in 2010.

The Executive of the Wisconsin Council on Problem Gambling said that more people are maxing-out credit cards, getting short-term loans, or siphoning money off of family and friends to fuel this gambling habit. Anyone really surprised over that?

A down economy fuels gambling debt as more people feel frustrated, desperate, or hoping for a financial miracle. What the heck, put it all on red. We’ve got nothing to lose.

Sincerely,


You are not alone. I'm here to help. There is no need to suffer in silence. We can get through this. Tomorrow can be better than today. Don't give up.
