I’m an entertainment-based bettor. $100 a quarter chasing $5 10-leg parlays on the weekend. If I lose, fine.
Legalization hasn’t gone far enough. Certain apps are legal in NY, but not NJ, CT or FL and vice versa. Forcing me to have 3 apps to bet across state lines is the real problem/addiction.
I continue to be struck by the nature and tone of advertising, which seems to try to make gambling seem "investment like" and data driven, with "analytics" broadcasts guiding the punters deeper into the abyss. In Australia, by contrast, the ads all include a statement to the effect of losses are by far the most likely outcome.
Nice summary. One thing lurking behind the data - there are lots of 16 y.o. boys with illegal online betting accounts (presumably in a parent's name). I expect that generation to be even more involved with betting as they move into working world/ adulthood.

Always love the topics you cover. Thanks!
