The Hidden Cost of the Betting Boom with Emily Washburn

Brian From is joined by Emily Washburn of The Daily Citizen to examine the rapid rise of online sports betting and prediction markets in the wake of the Super Bowl. The conversation explores how gambling platforms use data analytics to target vulnerable users, why young men are especially susceptible, and how “prediction markets” blur the line between investing and betting. Together they unpack the spiritual, cultural, and practical dangers of a gambling industry that profits when its customers lose—and challenge churches to address an issue that has quietly become mainstream.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
