Steven states that, in addition to having a sexual addiction, he was also addicted to gambling. “I would bet 15-20 thousand weekly on sports. I did it to be a big shot. I would win 70 thousand during the football and basketball seasons and lose 100 thousand during the baseball season.” When his bookie insisted that he not bet anymore because of his betting patterns, Steven switched to the Massachusetts state lottery. He bet $500-$600 weekly to start, then 3-4 thousand weekly until his DEA arrest.
