Listen "136: Gambling: Time-Tested Destruction"
Episode Synopsis
This week is opening day for the 2024 MLB season. We ought to be talking about the prospects for each team or how the LA Dodgers committed $1 billion this winter to are agents trying to buy a World Series, but instead we are talking about one player: Shohei Ohtani, arguably the best baseball player on the planet. But we aren’t talking about him because he’s a talented ball player. We’re talking about him because he’s at the center of potentially the biggest gambling scandal in sports in a generation. How should we think about sports betting as Believers?
