With gambling in the palm of everyone’s hand, it’s not just a huge business, it’s changing the world of sports and introducing speculative gaming into all aspects of our lives. It also ignores the harms that come along the way. Danny Funt is a journalist and the author of a new book, Everybody Loses: The Tumultuous Rise of American Sports Gambling. He talks to host Amanda Lang about the dark side of sports betting, why sports embraced it and why the public can’t get enough.
