Was just reading an article about former cricketers who have fallen on hard times, sad to see a former umpire joining the list. Apparently sports people are significantly overrepresented in gambling addiction.

Professional footballers and cricketers are three times more likely to have gambling problems than other young men, according to research.

A study conducted for the Professional Players' Federation shows 6.1% of sportsmen would be classed as problem gamblers compared with 1.9% in the general population of young men.

Excess testosterone leads to more manly bodies and risk taking. Not surprised at the study.
