of course, a big part of Scott Kashket's mitigation to his gambling charges was that he had not received any education on it whilst at Orient. It was taken into account in his punishment, I recall.
I thought the biggest mitigating factor for Kashket was that he genuinely didn't believe he was going to play another minute as a pro footballer again.
Indeed, thank you @ryan_w_kirkby2, I recognise much of what you said though I have never had an interest in gambling but have had a lifelong battle with alcohol, though have managed to stay dry for coming up 32 years now, having said that I have to always remember that one is too many & two is never enough; so I studiously avoid the first one these days.
First you have a drink. Then the drink has a drink, Then the drink has you.
