All Bets Are Off: Losers, Liars, and Recovery from Gambling Addiction   === OUT Nov11 th
Written by Steve Jacobson AND Arnie Wexler
 

Arnie Wexler's compulsive gambling spiraled out of control . . . now after forty-plus years in recovery he is a nationally known expert on gambling addiction and helps others to "quit the bet." All Bets Are Off chronicles Wexler's life as a gambler that began on the streets of Brooklyn, New York, flipping cards, shooting marbles, and playing pinball machines.

At age fourteen he found the racetrack, a bookie to take his bets, and started playing the stock market. His preoccupation with gambling accelerated until a fateful day in 1968 when it all came crashing down. Wexler's gripping narrative leads us through the dungeon of a compulsive gambler's world—chasing the big win and coming up with empty pockets—and how his addiction drove him and his wife, Sheila, to the edge of life. With help, they managed to escape, and together they have devoted themselves to helping others with the problem they know so well
