Summary
6.6 million Americans struggle with gambling addiction, and a growing number are betting on sports.
What happened?
The floodgates opened in 2018 when the Supreme Court cut down a 1992 federal law that limited sports betting primarily to Nevada.
Now, gambling is in the office, it's in our cars, it's in our homes, it's in our bedrooms.
Does this have to be the unfortunate next addiction? How prevalent is it? What traps should we be aware of?
Visiting the studio was a dynamic duo.
First up: Rabbi Joey Haber, an insightful, energetic Rabbi who inspires and teaches thousands within his Brooklyn and Deal communities and across the web and world on TorahAnytime. We also spoke with Dovid Kohn, a therapist with a specialty in addiction and helps people and their families deal with those challenges, including gambling behaviors, compulsive spending, overgiving - yes that's a thing - and more.
