In this episode Nick shares his gambling addiction story for the first time.
Nick has overcome two relapses and so I wanted to find out more.
- Was football the gateway into gambling? ⚽
- What was his experience of betting in the bookies? 🤔
- What advice and tips does he have for others wanting to overcome a gambling addiction? ✅
Nick is a brilliant guy. He ran a successful FIFA YouTube Channel Ingoodnick before setting up the YouTube Channel ‘The Sheff Utd Way’, that has over 12,000 subscribers and garnered over 3 million views! 👏
In the Podcast Nick covers a range of topics, from the roulette machine in bookies, to online betting on football and tennis, the use of pay day loans, FIFA loot boxes, and how useful Step Change (a government approved debt help) has been. 📈
It’s the first time Nick has shared his story, and I hope you will join me in welcoming his share.
It’s a little rough round the edges, (me, not him!), and it’s more of a conversation as opposed to a strict interview.
I’m hugely excited to share it with you!
Alex 😌
