His conscience has probably been worn down over the years of degeneracy and I doubt he'll lose much sleep over walking from the debts, but unless he actually did kill that bookie (or has done things that I'm not aware of) I don't think psychopath is appropriate.
Looks to me like a run of the mill life donk who just obviously can't be trusted.

Sympathy is all relative.
He definitely doesn't deserve anything he has in life, but the life he's lead isn't nearly as good as it could have been if he wasn't such an idiot degen. He's lead a glamorous life, but considering all of the stress and guilt he has to deal with - he would have been much better off if he could find happiness in a simple existence. I think people who become fixated on highs (either through drugs, gambling, whatever) do so because their baseline happiness is otherwise lacking.
