Two for the Money

Warning: Reading this could spoil the film.

0:17 Toni says "anonymous meetings" hold Walter together.
0:32 Walter takes Brandon, his protege, to what appears to be a Gamblers Anonymous meeting where he talks about how everyone there, including him, is defective and gets high from losing rather than winning. Then he appears to invite the attendees to gamble through his sports gambling business.
1:13 We see something of the strength of recovery: Toni identifies herself as a junkie and talks about wondering every day whether she will relapse.
Walter talks about the experience of a high he experiences before he knows whether he will win.
Does Walter relapse with gambling or just pretend? or does he gamble with something new as Toni suggests?

Look for the intensity in Brandon's connection to Walter and to sports as growing out of his desire to please his alcoholic father as a child.
