ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Greg takes a closer look at a surprising mud term referendum in which Nebraska voters rejected online sports betting despite more than $20 million in spending by gambling interests. In addition voters in Indiana and Virginia turned down proposals for additional casino operations.
Greg explains why these victories matter for Alabama as discussions continue about legalizing sports betting and a state lottery. He examines the financial tactics of DraftKings and FanDuel, the economic consequences of predatory gambling, the disproportionate impact of lotteries on lower-income families, and the threats online sports betting poses to college athletics and student-athletes.
With Alabama potentially facing another major gambling debate, Greg makes the case for continued vigilance and wonders if Alabama influential sport figures, including Tommy Tuberville and Nick Saban, will speak out against the expansion of predatory online sports gambling like legendary coach Tom Osborne did in Nebraska
