Cafferty and his gambling addiction were getting out of hand. He'd bet on all sorts of things: sports, the Hunger Games, reality TV shows. It didn't matter what it was. If someone suggested that maybe, just maybe it would be a good idea to bet on it, he'd go for it. It caused him to lose a lot of money, which although with his wealth wasn't much of an actual problem, still managed to piss him off quite a bit.

Before the first day of the Hunger Games one year, he bet on exactly how many tributes he thought were going to die each day, and ended up with a payout of about two million dollars. So, he tried to repeat it the next year, and instead lost about three hundred thousand dollars. Needless to say, he wasn't happy and ended up taking it out on someone else at the bar he was sitting in when he found out he'd lost. He managed to get himself banned from that bar, and set up somewhat of a bad reputation for himself during the "Games season" time of year.

When it comes to what Cafferty does when he's not gambling, he is in quite a solid line of business. He's in the entertainment industry as a talent agent. If an actor or other form of talent in the Capitol is looking for work, he can help find them something. He also, however, will help with casting calls for different things. A new show is looking for people to cast? Cafferty helps them find who they're looking for.

Between that, his wife's job and a sufficient source of family money, Cafferty is able to keep ahead of his gambling problem and stay on his feet financially. Although his wife isn't too fond of how much of their money goes toward Cafferty's addiction, she does a minimal amount of complaining about it, since she doesn't think it's worth the hassle if it's what makes him happy. His family does run a casino, after all, so one might expect that at least one person in the family was going to end up hooked on that sort of thing.

Growing up, Cafferty was exposed to the idea of gambling a lot as a kid. His father bet on the Hunger Games every year, so it was a common point of conversation. He, his mother and his sisters spent a lot of time helping his dad figure out what to bet on, too, so it really became a family effort.

Cafferty sometimes uses the excuse of "like father, like son" to explain his love for betting on things. That's not the only thing he has in common with his father, though. The two of them look a lot alike with their relatively basic sense of style and well-kept brown hair atop their heads. They both had three kids (two girls and one boy), and both got married to their wives two years after meeting them.

Cafferty and his wife, Pristilla, met at the casino that Cafferty's sister owns. They hit it off when they were chatting at a bar there and kept it touch. Two years later, they got married and shortly thereafter started having kids. They now have two daughters, named Lia and Raine, as well as a son named Trixton. All three of their kids are grown now, but when they were younger, Pristilla spent most of her time at home with them while Cafferty worked.

Nowadays, Trixton keeps in touch with Cafferty and Pristilla more than their other two kids do. He keeps them updated on what's going on in his life and the three of them will often go out to get food together, such as for dinner. As for Lia and Raine: they're a bit more busy in life and have a harder time keeping in touch. They still do reach out from time to time though, and the whole family does their best to spend the bigger holidays together.

Now, Cafferty's main goal in life (other than to be really successful in his gambling) is to keep his life in order. By that, meaning he wants to make sure that his family can comfortably live off of his income, that his wife, kids and pets are happy and healthy, and that he can have fun doing the things that he enjoys without worry. Other than gambling, that would be things like going on dates with his wife, watching TV shows and movies, going to see plays and performances, and playing golf with his friends from work despite actually understanding very little about golf.

So, he lives his life the way he wants to and strives to enjoy himself. Surely there can't be too much harm in that, right?
