Episode: The rise of online sports betting culture and addiction
Description: The Supreme Court lifted a ban on sports betting in 2018. Since then, the industry has boomed, and much of that growth has come from online sports betting.
Nearly half of American men under the age of 50 have an account with at least one online sports book.
You can hardly watch a game, sports show or listen to a sports podcast today without hearing about overs, unders, props and other topics of sports betting culture.
On Midday Edition, we discuss the rise of online sports betting culture and addiction, and the health risks that come with it.
