So, I too would like to see this movie again - to save myself from myself. Does anyone from Lifetime ever answer the inquiries?

A powerful movie and is a must see for anyone who gambles or knows someone who does. This can happen and it does happen all the time. I work in a casino and I see it.

My father has a gambling addiction so I know what it feels liketo be around a person that will do anything to get there hands on any cash they can find to gamble with. When I saw this movies, I was like "Finally something about gambling addictions!" I agree that they need to put this on DVD.
