About this episode
This episode discusses the shift of gambling from casinos to mobile platforms and explores the implications of risk-taking versus gambling.
Gambling has moved from casinos to our phones. FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM, ESPN Bet, Kalshi, and day-trading platforms have made “action” available every minute of the day.
