This week’s podcast is an eye-popping discussion of sports betting apps with Saagar Enjeti. Saagar is the co-host of Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar and also the Realignment podcast. He’s a fierce critic of sports betting apps, and you may remember his monologue on the subject that I previously featured. After watching that, I just had to get him on the podcast.
Saagar describes how following the 2018 Supreme Court decision that opened the floodgates, sports gambling has become a predatory industry, hooking millions with sophisticated algorithms, addictive apps, and aggressive marketing. He breaks down the public policy failures, the devastating impact on problem gamblers, and the complicity of sports leagues and states in this growing crisis. From skyrocketing bankruptcies to increased domestic violence, the societal costs are staggering.
