00:00I don't know anything about gambling.
00:03So I'm travelling around Australia to find out why on earth we are the biggest gamblers
00:09on earth.
00:09You have access to every racing track in Australia at the moment.
00:13We spend more per year on punting than alcohol.
00:16It's just saturated, like it's everywhere.
00:18We've gone from the occasional flutter to a tsunami of betting.
00:22We lose 25 billion dollars per year.
00:26Blackjack.
00:27Yes, gambling can bring us together.
00:29Bingo.
00:31But it can also tear our lives apart.
00:34Totally crippled my life.
00:36Is gambling something we can control?
00:38We have an industry that is just running riot.
00:40Last win, last win.
00:41Come on, come on, come on.
00:42Or are the odds already stacked against the next generation?
00:46I'll place my first bets in 40 years.
00:48My God, that seems like such a lot of money.
00:50And ask, are we really the lucky country?
00:53Yay!
00:54What the hell?
01:08You
