Gambling's a thrill. A win feels incredible. But gambling also has a dark side. Finances are ruined, families are torn apart and people become trapped in ways that are almost impossible to understand unless you’ve been there yourself.The Bet is five stories, five journeys. Each story is of someone's life in their own words, and reveals how gambling almost destroyed them – and how they found a way out.Produced for PGF Services by Te Pūrongo Productions.
