Gambling Addiction Concerns Unaddressed

WIN SOME, LOSE PLENTY –

Jan. 13, 2022 – It wasn’t long ago when sports gambling discussions were limited to Saturday morning sports talk radio shows. My, how times have changed. Turn on your local sports radio station, segue over to ESPN or hop on an internet discussion forum and you’ll find these mediums are now saturated with sports gambling information. Though wagering on sports certainly provides an opportunity to make some quick cash, it can also spur a debilitating addiction if left unchecked.

With online sports betting officially making its debut in New York over the weekend, concerns continue to mount about the potential societal dangers of the industry. While this billion dollar industry has many legislators seeing dollar signs, others feel that stricter measures must be put into place to help detect, limit, and prevent the spread of problem gambling.
