About this audiobook

The sportsbook is no longer somewhere people go. It is something they carry. Sports betting has moved into the phone, the group chat, the bank account, and the quiet moments around every game. In The Bet Never Sleeps, Conrad Ames explains how betting apps changed modern fandom, why sports knowledge can create false confidence, how small bets can cast large shadows, and why secrecy is often the first real loss. Written for sports fans, partners, parents, and families, this is not a book against sports, a betting strategy guide, or a moral lecture. It is a calm, humane guide to app-based gambling, private money behavior, and the lines worth drawing before the line moves again. The game is still worth protecting. So are the people in the room.
