How a gambling addict lost £2.1m
At just 28 years old, Graham Calvert has achieved a great deal. He built his reputation as a greyhound trainer and became one of the best in Britain.
It was a job which earned him up to £30,000 a month and he built up savings of nearly £700,000.
He was even chosen to train dogs for international competitions and his reputation should have ensured a prosperous future.
But it has all been ruined by his gambling habit which has cost him his career, family life and business.

The bloke's a complete chancer and what makes it worse is he's from my neck of the woods.
I wonder how much of those £700,000 savings he built up placing bets on dog racing?
