The NBA, The Mob & My Gambling Brain

from I've Got A Problem · host Forrest Shaw

Forrest breaks down the wild world of sports gambling — from NBA prop-bet scandals to Chauncey Billups' alleged mob-run poker games — through the lens of someone who lived it. As a former gambling addict, he explains why these scandals make sense, how betting apps are wrecking people, and why celebrities pushing sportsbooks is doing real damage. It's fast, honest, and funny: addiction, prop bets, betting apps, money issues, chasing losses, and the dark side of gambling culture — all in one solo episode. 🎧 If gambling, sports betting, or addiction has touched your life, this episode hits hard. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly episodes on addiction, mental health, recovery, and real-life chaos.
