  • The Wager Game

    And then, there's another game you can play. I stumbled across this one completely by chance. I won't tell you where I discovered it, you'll just have to take my word. Suffice to say through a bit of digging I found a card game that you can play with a spirit. The game doesn't really have a name, though I referred to as “The Wager Game”.Original story - A Deck of Cards | Creepypasta Wiki | Fandomwww.facebook.com/beyondyournightmareswww.twitter.com/beyondyournightMusic by Myuu Hosted on Acast.

Joel Soper joins the show to discuss the motivation behind writing a person account of his struggles with gambling.  We learn how Joel first got started betting at an early age, what he hopes to accomplish by sharing his story, the uniqueness of sports betting and why he believes it has mass appeal to a wide audience.  Joel is candid about his recovery journey and realizes it is a “work in progress” that requires vigilance each day.
