SUMMARY:Akron Roundtable Forum Looks at the Impact of Sports Gambling
DESCRIPTION:\nThu 10/16 @ noon\nThe explosion of sports gambling\, and its 
 accessibility in a way gambling has previously not been\, is disturbing. P
 reviously\, you’d have to go to a casino to gamble away your paycheck\, 
 or go to a store to buy a lottery ticket. Now you can gamble at home\, or 
 anywhere actually\, including on an app your phone. And while most people 
 know deep down that winning the lottery or casino gambling is a game of ch
 ance\, many sports fans are of the mindset that they have knowledge that c
 an give them an edge in gambling on games.\nIn 2018 the Supreme Court stru
 ck down the federal prohibition on sports gambling\, and states\, includin
 g Ohio\, quickly legalized it\, smelling a new source of revenue that woul
 dn’t require raising taxes. Now\, we’re blanketed with advertising for
  sports betting and all the different aspects of sports you can bet on. No
 w there are indications that there could be steep social and personal cost
 s as the ease of sports betting leads to more problem betting and gambling
  addiction.\nAlex Shephard\, senior editor of The New Republic\, will addr
 ess the scope of the issue when he speakers at the Akron Roundtable about 
 “Gambling Is Everyone’s Problem Now.” The event takes place at Quake
 r Station on the University of Akron campus. Go here for tickets.\nakronro
