She obviously has a good heart and I like to help her all I can but the greatest help she can receive now is not of the material type. I've given her hundreds of dollars worth of tools as she is refurbishing one of the kids rooms. I know that sounds real generous but I actually get the tools for free so it really isn't. Anyway I'm sure you all have certain people you come accross you could do more for but it's not always possible
how does she do her betting? does she do it online?

if she does it online then perhaps in a jokey sort of way 'bet' her that she couldn't disable her account for a whole month and not place any bets at all, tell her to keep tabs on how much money she saves just for a single month, it could be the wake up call she needs.

kind of like how smokers don't actually realise how much money they spend on fags.

Most online bookies have an option to disable your account for a week/month or an amount of time chosen by the user
