About this audiobook
BAD BET: How Online Gambling Is Destroying America exposes one of the fastest-growing and most overlooked addiction crises in the U.S.
Once confined to casinos, gambling is now available 24/7 on phones, tablets, and computers. As online sports betting expands, millions—especially young men—are drawn into a system designed to keep them playing, often at devastating cost.
Jack Alan Levine, a recovering addict, shares a powerful personal account of how gambling takes hold and disrupts lives. Veteran journalist John Rabe provides a broader perspective on how sports, media, and technology have fueled its rise.
Together, they reveal the industry’s tactics, the psychological pull of constant access, and the real-world consequences affecting individuals, families, and communities.
BAD BET is both a warning and a wake-up call—challenging readers to recognize the risks before it’s too late.
