Betting against my family and my friends

BBC Radio Ulster - Sunday Sequence, Betting against my family and my friends

'I lied to my family, I stole £1.3 million from my company', a gambler's road to ruin. 

At one time, Andy May's only brush with the law was a speeding ticket until gambling led him to prison after stealing more than £1 million.

Andy May appeared to be living a comfortable life with his partner and two children in a rural English village when he received a knock on the door. He worked as a finance manager and his only previous brush with the law had been a solitary speeding ticket.

But police officers had come to question him. The 47-year-old had stolen £1.3m from his employer to fund a gambling addiction and he was later sentenced to four years in prison.

He tells presenter Audrey Carville how gambling took his job and ultimately his freedom.
