We Legalized Sports Gambling. Now We're Paying for It — ft. Jonathan D. Cohen
Episode 396
Published 5 months, 1 week ago
Description
Jonathan D. Cohen, gambling policy expert at the American Institute for Boys and Men and author of Losing Big: America's Reckless Bet on Sports Gambling, joins Scott to discuss how the 2018 Supreme Court decision unleashed a $150 billion industry — and what it's costing young men.
They discuss why frictionless mobile betting is uniquely dangerous, how states were sold on legalization for tax revenue that rarely materializes, and why gambling has the highest suicide rate of any addiction.
