Re: Beat: ESPN piece on gambling
OP is exaggerating. The show was not that bad. College kids racking up cc debt or blowing through their parents' money gambling is a bad thing, whether you want it to be or not. They mostly focused on sportsbetting, and they never said that all gambling is problem gambling.
It would be better if they were more explicit about the fact that some people can gamble with an edge and that other people can lose responsibly, but that they didn't doesn't make the story "[censored] horrible."
