People are losing their life savings, their marriages, and years of their lives to sports betting and casino gambling, and it's happening faster than ever. In this video, I walk through real stories from people who lived it: a man who cried through a whole church service after losing everything, a wife who found out her savings were drained and the household was $120,000 in debt, a guy who bet his entire $33,000 savings on the Super Bowl, and a bettor who turned a few thousand dollars into $580,000 and lost it all in two days.
We break down how betting apps keep you hooked, why "almost winning" and even winning big can make things worse, how easy credit fuels the chase, and what recovery actually looks like. We also hear from Victor Wembanyama on why he refuses to promote betting.
If you can't afford to lose it, you can't afford to bet it.
If you or someone you love is struggling with gambling, call or text 1-800-GAMBLER. It's free and available 24/7.
