Gambling and Addiction: How Harmful is Sports Betting to Society?
From The Soccernomics Podcast · 00:39:37
Show by Simon Kuper, Stefan Szymanski, Ashish Malhotra
Ashish is better, and we're back with a new episode! We take our first member audio question from Rishi Iyengar, who is also in first place in our Fantasy Premier League. Stefan answers, giving his view on whether the Ballon d'Or is the best way to assess the world's best player. But today's episode is also our first one to be Executive Produced by a listener, on the topic of sports betting, and the extent to which it is harmful to society. As is often the case, Stefan's view is somewhat against the grain of a lot of mainstream discourse. What do you think?
