What are people's experiences with gambling? Has anyone ever been addicted?

My own father was(I believe)a gambling addict.He used to bet on the horses every day,went to the dogtrack every weekend,owned greyhounds and played chemin de fer, for serious money .At one time in his life(just after the war) he was a professional gambler,apparently.
I can still remember a bookie coming round to our house,a day or so after his funeral,trying to collect on some unpaid gambling debts.
That was all the aversion therapy I've ever needed.Never been much of a gambler at all,apart from the occasional fun bet on football.
