An avid Leeds gambler has spoken about how his friends have been sectioned for the life destroying addiction.
Harehills man David Jeffers, 77, spends "about 30 per cent" of his pension on gambling and sometimes four hours a day at his local William Hill bookies shop in Roundhay Road. He gambles on horses and admits he mostly loses.
But for some of his friends down the bookies, there have been devastating consequences ultimately leading to residency in St James' Hospital, according to the former factory worker.
