As a blackjack dealer I have watched compulsive gamblers for most of my career. I have always said, “It’s hard to walk away from a winning streak, even harder to leave the table when you’re on a losing one.” A familiar tale that sums up the life of Brian Malony. He became hooked on the glitz and glamour of Caesars in Atlantic City. Most people will play until they lose all their money. Brian did that and then embezzled more money from his employer a major Canadian bank. A must-read story that tracks the progression of his addiction.
From Cara's list on true stories set in the casino industry.
