He is NEVER going to stop. He is an addict. Gail can’t just say…you can never gamble again…it isn’t going to happen. He is an addict and needs rehab….big time.
It's the ease with lying that's so scary. All the explanations in the world- addiction, shame, everything else- doesn't change the fact that being dishonest is supposed to hurt. It's supposed to make people uncomfortable and afraid so they don't do it 😑
The one making the biggest gamble in this episode is Karla, by marrying this dude. Unless he actually got counseling to overcome his addiction, I really hope she didn't marry him. I don't doubt that he went back to his old ways once Gail was gone, but I hope I'm wrong, would love an update on them.
My father ruined my mom's credit by filling out credit card applications in her name, my mom had to file for bankruptcy to get out of it. Marrying people like this will ruin your life.
I love how Greg tried to call karla out for her spending and what she bought just for her to be like well all my things I purchased are paid for haha 😄 the first thing she said was she had no debt and that she pays everything with cash he still ends up humiliating and embarrassing himself smh
"She bought this!" "That's paid for completely." "Well... she bought this!" "That's also paid for completely." Atta girl, Karla! This man is not it, better off alone than with a man child! Hope Karla has found someone better if Greg didn't wise up!
Gambling addicts are like drug addicts. The addiction will ALWAYS win out over relationships and the needs of the family. Until they come to terms with the addiction, you can never trust the addict.
I'm surprised Karla was still with Greg. Dude has a gambling addiction and he seems not willing to really tackle it. $33,000 in gambling debt and Greg's thinking he should be able to pay LESS towards his creditors. No, sir. That's not how this works.
Too many women can’t cut bait when their guy proves what he is. Then they are stuck with a pitiful spouse and their life becomes a series of disappointments.
I’m the grandchild of a gambling addict. Dump him. A gambling addict will continue to gamble behind your back as long as they think they can do so without getting caught. After my grandpa became disabled from strokes, my grandma resumed gambling and lost their retirement. Now she’s living off social security after my grandpa passed away a few months after she was forced to retire due to disability.
Gail was usually smarter than this. She fell for his ploy. Nothing would keep him from getting back into gambling debt immediately. Hope his fiance moved out the next day.
I'm very surprised that Gail gave the approval for Greg to work part time as a poker dealer. Karla voiced the obvious concern exactly: He'd clearly really rather be playing. Would Gail advise an alcoholic to get a part time job as a bartender?
Some alcoholics can work as Barkeeps, depends on their spiritual condition and length of sobriety. Gale make the mistake that working as a part time poker dealer might helphim see the error of gambling. I bet like the Alcoholic, dealing poker makes him crave gambling !
Plenty of recovering alcoholics/addicts work as bartenders. It’s a rampant problem in our industry. The key word to success for those people is to be RECOVERING. Greg is still in his gambling addiction, so he in no way, shape or form should be near a poker table right now. Not until he has a least a year off gambling.
Greg shows duping delight in every interaction. That's a covert smirk from being pleased about tricking the person he is talking to. Pause the video to freeze his face and you can see it. In other words, every interaction is another gamble for him - will he get away with his lies or not? - that's what gives him a thrill. It's just like when he bet against Gail without the cards to back it up. This guy's brain is 100% conditioned to look for the next gamble, not to figure out a way to care for his wife and future child. HOWEVER. At core, he likes to WIN. That's why he excelled at the baby challenge. It was a game to him and he was willing to throw everything he had at it. If that aspect of his mind could be redirected, he could become a guy who excels at everything in his life.
I would love to know what happened to him. I wouldn't be surprised if he did get that debt paid off for the sake of the win. It's possible that they could make the marriage work IF she remembers how to motivate him. Personally, I wouldn't have been with him.
I hate to say this but anyone who has to stop and start the video to confirm “duping delight” (I hate that term) is very out of touch with their personal intuition.
Unfortunately the money in this episode was the symptom of a MUCH larger problem. This one was too big for Gail and I’m pretty sure things didn’t work out for these two.
Never ever marry someone with a spending problem. While getting divorced I got to pay half of debts that my ex-wife took on without my knowledge. In an other instance this is known as fraud.
The day my ex bf asked me to marry him, we talked about finances. It turned out he had a large consumer debt and he thought I also have debt since this is how he lived, by overspending. I never had any debt so throughout our whole relationship I thought he doesn’t have any neither. That was very eye opening, we parted our ways that day.
Mine tried very hard to do that too. Luckily I’d had enough sense not to sign into any of it. The only ones I couldn’t get out of were the ones that he forged & I couldn’t prove it. £10k is a lot to lose when someone else has spent it & you had no knowledge of any of it!!
This is an extremely immature young man this nice woman should run for the hills and never ever marry him gambling is a terrible addiction he'll never get better
He will NEVER stop gambling. He is an addict and needs rehab. Gail needs to address that issue here. That woman needs to RUN….NOW. he will never change unless he gets professional help.
I wish therapy was built into budgets somewhere. A lot of these individuals have addictions like gambling, smoking, drinking and shopping and dismal communication skills and parent/child dynamics as couples. Gail is amazing but sometimes you need someone specialized in these issues.
Completely agree! Add an addiction to poor financial choices and it's a one way ride to ruin! I guess the worry is affording it and whether the couple in questiom actually wants to change for Gail? 🤔
@@legzfalloffgirl5148Amen! Dear God, doesn't he realize that Gambling is very dangerous. He should go to Gamblers Anomyous. Also when they were dating, they did very "expensive" things. I would leave his backside in a heartbeat. I knew someone who was so irresponsible with his Finances, he almost got evicted and the Bailiff almost came along to evict him and throw his stuff into the street. Fortunately on a wing on a prayer, he got help from Fam but he defintely learned his lesson. His Family spoiled him who are both dead but it was the hardest kick in the backside he ever had. He realizes how much he has to change and he promised to go to a Debt Counselling Person to get his act together.

Greg, no disrespect to you. But you're a risk. Someone marrying you with that debt and addiction would have such a negative impact on their mental, emotional, and financial status.
I agree. I believe that Greg needs treatment for his ADDICTION. GA may work or regular psychotherapy but he needs help. A wife and children do not need to be added to his self destructive ride.
The stresses of marriage and children will absolutely increase the risk of addiction behavior. If he is refusing to give up his vices when the waters of life are pretty still, there is no way he will maintain sobriety during a storm.
"That's exactly the girl I was looking for" "I want someone to take care of me" as with the gambling, dude is all about gratification. The good thing is gambling debts can be paid not just with money 😬
I had a dearly loved uncle that was a poker addict. Always looking for loans when he was on a losing streak and the most generous man in the world when he was winning. I'll always remember one time when I was about 19 years old... he asked me for a loan and when I didn't have anything to give he asked my best friend. He was in his fifties. Very sad he came to a couple of kids looking for money. A great guy, but an addict till the day he died.
It’s all fake for this dude. He just excelled in these situations because it was a “challenge”. He reminds me of all the alcoholics I have known, sociopaths! Don’t marry him, girl!
One month does not cure an addiction!!! He needs professional help like a gamblers anonymous meeting. Don't trust him yet I'd put off that wedding for another 3 or 5 years see what happens!!!
I really want to see where they are in a year. I know a man who went home and told his wife to pack everything up, he had lost the house in a poker game. He did this twice! (Died in a single car accident driving fast as he could on a winding country road). Gambling is an addiction. He needs help.
This guy really bugs the hell out of me. He is a freaking man child who is using her like she’s his mommy and is going to take care of everything so he can play games all day. He pisses away his money and wants to move on to pissing hers away too. The dupers delight smirks gets are so transparent! He has no intentions of quitting gambling he’s salivating at the $5000 he can go gamble away
My neighbor has gambling issue. Ran up several credit cards. Many times spent house payment and utilities money. Parents kept bailing her out till they passed. Sons said they’d help but she couldn’t gamble anymore. So they took over accounts and her check. And we’re paying off her debts. But they didn’t know she wstarted cleaning houses so she could go gamble. I told her that wasn’t right she should give that money to kids. But she was dumb and posted a pic of herself at casino gambling on Facebook. They seen it and cut her off. Now she can’t over gamble
@@carojames6776 see but he is an adult, I would just never get married she still has her partner can even have his kids but the money has to be separate and should not help him with his debt. He dug that hole
@@juditharsenault2131 I don’t think he is, what I think he does do it adapt, a gambling addiction is to serious for me to accept good behavior as genuine. He is a poker player… poker face in my mind. However the way he took care of the doll shows he does want the same things she wants and it willing to work but he has to stop gambling. I think even dealing is slippery slop…. Maybe I’m just too suspicious
Gail is out of her depth with a lot of these people. Shopping addictions, cigarettes and booze, gambling - sometimes years of therapy are needed to solve these. In this case, where are clear addiction issues, she should not be in any way encouraging Karla to think that there is a quick fix for Greg. He needs years of a 12 step program and even then he is likely to relapse. I hope Karla found someone else.
Blinded by the guy’s clean shaven good looks. But an addiction is still an addiction. He will always have this devil to fight on the daily. With online gambling, it’s a hard battle. I hope she didn’t marry this guy. He is exactly opposite of him.
She has at least set up this woman's escape route from being permanently tied to this guy and his Gambling addiction/dependency. Obviously if he cannot keep this up in the year before the wedding, it is off. He has a clear set of goals to reach and if he cannot pull it off when the stakes are so clear, she is well rid of him.
Karla,this man is a joke,I wouldn’t wipe my shoes with him!once a gambler always a gambler,get rid my good lady!!! You will never have trust in him ever!!!
I really feel for Karla who is genuinely invested in their future but that dude has a real addiction problem which he needs therapy for..Karla is taking a huge risk in even considering marrying this man child..she should run 🏃♀️ for the hills and safeguard her own money 🙏 if you can’t control his impulses or if she can’t trust him, she needs to dispatch this dude..otherwise she’s going to have a life of struggle..which will be a lot worse if she has his kids as well 😮 he will bleed her dry..if you don’t have trust in a relationship, there is no relationship, period 👍😊
Why? He makes her happy or is she kidnapped or held against her will? Get it¿ what makes you happy isn't the same for others. Learn that and you'll be better handling situations you don't understand:)
While his behaviour in the show was surprising and encouraging, that single-minded focus on the baby is a character trait... that kind of focus can as easily apply to gambling again, if there isn't a sustained huge daily change. So I wish them luck.
Agreed, this happens all the time. Denial, plain and simple. Any incompatibilities you have with the other person are just going to get worse after marriage. That is common knowledge, but people have a tendency to think they're the one exception.
Letting a gambling addict be a dealer is like letting an alcoholic bartend,………maybe after rehab or counseling….but it’s just too enticing to an addict. Gail dropped the ball here.
My ex would spend money like water. We paid off credit card andcwithin 6 months he got another line of credit. He sent 300 dollars to a stipper and got mad at me when l got upset 😡 few months later l left. Im in my 60s and ill health the stress was killing me. Today he has more credit cards again and complains about it. I polished my budget recently and as savvy as l am a had a family friend do the once over for adjustments. Good advice 😊
Being single is better than marrying the wrong man. If Karla marries him, she'll be learning this lesson the hard way.
He is NEVER going to stop. He is an addict. Gail can’t just say…you can never gamble again…it isn’t going to happen. He is an addict and needs rehab….big time.
Run run very fast Karla

I’d run away
@@Imbatmn57 She didn't want to file fraud charges?
@@Imbatmn57 - That's so sad. Your poor mom!
I think he’s gotten through life using his smile and charm rather that hard work and self discipline. It never ends well with these guys.
The husband just wanted the 5k. No way he kicked his addiction in one episode.
I sadly agree.
The problem with any addict is the complusive lying.
And he will have gambled it away in hours
I love how Greg tried to call karla out for her spending and what she bought just for her to be like well all my things I purchased are paid for haha 😄 the first thing she said was she had no debt and that she pays everything with cash he still ends up humiliating and embarrassing himself smh
"She bought this!"

What funny is when your together your child is “her child” but the second they leave it’s “oh I’m stuck with his child”
Him hoping Gail would be on his side at the beginning was hilarious. There is no universe where she would agree with him.
This. It's right in the opener... he sees her as "mom".... easy to hear the unsaid next part of that sentence
I think he only did it to make some quick cash!!!
Word! I can’t believe HE applied to the show😂
This guy is a full on man child he literally said I like someone to take care of me just wow im flabbergasted
I really hope that Karla didn't go through with the wedding.
Oh noooo. Don't marry this man. Just don't. He's an addict, and he's barely scratched the surface of dealing with his addiction.
Gambling addicts are like drug addicts. The addiction will ALWAYS win out over relationships and the needs of the family. Until they come to terms with the addiction, you can never trust the addict.
There are so many red flags here.

Too many women can’t cut bait when their guy proves what he is. Then they are stuck with a pitiful spouse and their life becomes a series of disappointments.
Why would she throw her life away on this loser? She needs counseling

In short, he's a bit of a psychopath.
Unfortunately the money in this episode was the symptom of a MUCH larger problem. This one was too big for Gail and I’m pretty sure things didn’t work out for these two.
I'm hoping they split. I seriously doubt he quit gambling. He hid his addiction once, he will do it again.
I hope it didn’t; she needs to run from that guy!
Agree. This is an addiction problem, not poor money habits. Learning them to budget will cure nothing as long as he is gambling

Excellent episode. Gail at the poker table was priceless.
Gambling is as bad as any other addiction
I would address that before saying "I do"!
Run and Run Fast! This a disaster waiting to happen. Yikes 😱
The fact that he said he wants Gail to come in and let him continue his gambling. 😂 He needs some professional help for his gambling addiction.
The delusion with this one is palpable!!
At 1:48, he referred to his gambling as his "slot machine gambling career". 😂Yes, career. 😐He's not done with gambling.
I don’t like the fact that he made extra money by being a gambler dealer so his life is still involving gambling
And I believe it would be illegal!

Karla, you're the real high stakes gambler in this casino of life! Greg is chump change compared to the wager you're placing!
Would LOVE to see a follow up with so many of these couples.
Karla,this man is a joke,I wouldn’t wipe my shoes with him!once a gambler always a gambler,get rid my good lady!!! You will never have trust in him ever!!!
I really feel for Karla who is genuinely invested in their future but that dude has a real addiction problem which he needs therapy for..Karla is taking a huge risk in even considering marrying this man child..she should run 🏃♀️ for the hills and safeguard her own money 🙏 if you can’t control his impulses or if she can’t trust him, she needs to dispatch this dude..otherwise she’s going to have a life of struggle..which will be a lot worse if she has his kids as well 😮 he will bleed her dry..if you don’t have trust in a relationship, there is no relationship, period 👍😊
"My slot machine gambling career" says it all. He needs professional help.
Drop him like a hot potato or you’ll always be in debt.
Loved her, but hated him. I hope he either completely changed or that they are no longer together.
Seeing these videos make me so very happy that I'm single 😁
Love these so much! Thank you for uploading!
RUN! RUN FASTER!
Money doesn't solve money problems. He's addicted to gambling, so it's more important than her or his family.
Run girl!! I can’t imagine anyone being with him🤬
Why? He makes her happy or is she kidnapped or held against her will? Get it¿ what makes you happy isn't the same for others. Learn that and you'll be better handling situations you don't understand:)
Love Gail! Love Gail’s “Prince$$” and “Til Debt Do Us Part!”
She also hosts Money Morron
@@verolly31 gotta look that up now
he lives like he's single
While his behaviour in the show was surprising and encouraging, that single-minded focus on the baby is a character trait... that kind of focus can as easily apply to gambling again, if there isn't a sustained huge daily change. So I wish them luck.
By hosting a poker game, he's pulling his friends into debt. Great way to pay off your debts. Jerk.
I think this is why divorces come about. A couple who know they have unworkable problems planning on marrying.
Agreed, this happens all the time. Denial, plain and simple. Any incompatibilities you have with the other person are just going to get worse after marriage. That is common knowledge, but people have a tendency to think they're the one exception.
This show was 15-20 years ago. Imagine what kind of debt they would be in now in todays high inflation !
Letting a gambling addict be a dealer is like letting an alcoholic bartend,………maybe after rehab or counseling….but it’s just too enticing to an addict. Gail dropped the ball here.
No, she didnt. Shes testing him. She is proving that his entire mindset revolves around gambling; which equals an addiction.
@@derinaries sorry….I disagree…..I’m allowed to have an opinion…it just so happens that it’s not the same as yours.
@@mrs.b.5864 I agree. I was stating MY opinion which disagrees with YOURS. 😊
Really? The guy is an addict. He doesn’t need an extra $5000 to gamble he needs therapy and Karla needs to run for the hills.
Beautiful red hair
Run girl , run !!!
A gambler? ..hell no!
Gambling is a real addiction, I don't trust that he stay away from it. Don't trust addicts.
They did not look comfortable at the end when Gail mentioned they can use money after their debt is paid off towards having a baby
My ex would spend money like water. We paid off credit card andcwithin 6 months he got another line of credit. He sent 300 dollars to a stipper and got mad at me when l got upset 😡 few months later l left. Im in my 60s and ill health the stress was killing me. Today he has more credit cards again and complains about it. I polished my budget recently and as savvy as l am a had a family friend do the once over for adjustments. Good advice 😊
Not all junkies have missing teeth and scarred veins, and he’s one of them. I hope she didn’t marry him.
Gambler's Anonymous can help Greg if he wants the help. His problems run much deeper than the money.
