Sweetheart the thing is the only money that she is without is the £10 for the bet isn't she? as the team bet on did not win, but saying that her behaviour to you is appalling.
Are there any hobbies that you like that are sociable? pool or darts etc where you can meet people and are therefore not dependant on her?
I do agree with Suzi is this pain worth it, you have to put yourself and your health first.
If you can’t fly, then run, if you can’t run, then walk, if you can’t walk, then crawl, but by all means keep moving.

You can definitely have relationship counselling on your own - I went to Relate after my marriage broke up and it helped me immensely
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

On reflection and thinking about my sisters reaction to this ludicrous bet and the emotional consequences for me, I need to probably give her a wide birth. She won't change and it's not my job to do facilitate that. I'm considering therapy, for reactive depression, I can get some via a health insurer I have. I was also considering an increase in ADS but will hold fire for now.
In the end I paid her half the bet winnings sent an email explaining my reasoning and she said she read one line and deleted it.
Your contribution helped a lot. I hope the Samaritans office, face to face is open now as I think that may be the next port of call.
Cheers,
