Joseph Baer likes to gamble ; He’s been rolling the dice quite a bit lately, but it’s only a matter of time before his luck runs out, authorities say.

Baer, 39, robbed a Northeast Philadelphia Citizens Bank yesterday, the third heist he’s pulled since escaping from a federal halfway house on April 13, the FBI said.

Investigators believe that Baer, a known gambler, has been taking the loot and heading straight for casinos in Chester or Atlantic City, said Special Agent Bastian Freund, a bank-robbery coordinator for the FBI’s Philadelphia division.

“He’s an addict like anybody else,” Freund said. “His addiction isn’t drugs or alcohol. It’s gambling.”
