Ep. 275: All bets are off: How sports gambling has conquered the world

Amira, Brenda, and Lindsay review how sports betting has seeped into politics and provided the stuff of fantasies for people in dire economic need. Women represent the final frontier for exploitative betting companies, and BIAD asks how we can save women’s sports from such scourge. The hosts consider ways to regulate the industry in order to save sports. They also have plenty to burn (looking at you, Sophie Cunningham) and honor the torchbearers giving them hope. Support Burn It All Down and access bonus content by becoming a Patron: http://patreon.com/burnitalldownpodBIAD website: https://www.burnitalldownpod.com/ Get in touch: https://www.burnitalldownpod.com/contact Show notes:North Carolina Health News: Wagering on women.
