Summary: The story behind the sports betting boom

This article is an interview between Dave Davies, an NPR reporter, and Eric Lipton, a New York Times reporter investigating sports betting in America. The source starts with a description of how sports betting got legalized. It was a long term push from a lot of gambling stakeholders, including an incredible amount of lobbying and corruption. One specific example includes a legislator from Kansas being bribed with fine whiskey and cigars. Even when it was legalized, lots of things are a write-off so the government doesn’t even get much out of it. They advertise to kids in college, which is very dubious, morally. The biggest issue with the apps is how easily accessible they are. The ability to gamble on sports anywhere, anytime, opens up so many doors and makes it very insidious.
