Testimonials

My son is only 17 years old, and is online with his computer hours and hours a day. I recently found out he was borrowing money and playing video poker online and lost his 1000's of dollars he had put away for college. I scoured the Internet to find some kind of help, and I came across your youtube videos. I begged my son to watch, and now he and I call you our 'friend and saviour'. Thanks for saving my son...

My wife used to tell me she was volunteering twice a week at a local church. She would come home in every kind of mood possible. After 2 months I followed her and she was in fact going to a bar which had VLT machines. She was hooked. I confronted her and she asked for help. She went to local GA meetings, saw our family doctor, but nothing really helped. She continued to gamble now, with my knowledge. One night I was playing on the computer and found your Winning Hand site and radio shows. I asked my wife to watch...and somehow...like magic, she has stopped cold turkey. She and I watch all your videos over and over.. Keep up the amazing work.
