Bentley, speaking on Setanta Sports' Football Matters show, said: "In our business football, you hear tips all the time. "It is so easy, I could have 50 to 100 bets a day no problem. I was betting on anything. "It starts off from pounds, then it's a hundred, then it's thousands. It's never about the money. You start off wanting to win £100 and then it's £100,000. "It was when I started earning money that I started to get really heavily into it. I was addicted to betting on everything. I would wake up and the first thing I would think about would be to have a bet rather than play football. All I wanted was to have a bet. "It started out as a day at the races and it got out of hand. My girlfriend said I had to stop. It was the hardest thing ever."
