    That is a good story, one that can be written about many people in every city in America. And of course:

    For the next year, Holt was bombarded with enticements. Radio ads. Billboards. News media promotions. (The Athletic has a partnership with BetMGM).

    There's no untangling all this.

    I can't imagine being a player, coach or ref on social media, and read the shit people throw at you for your performance on a game.

    I would find an app to block social media from my phone like the guy in that story did with the betting sites.

    For any form of gambling, the responsible thing is to look at it as a form of entertainment, decide how much you are willing to pay to be entertained and then don’t spend any more than that. When you start chasing losses with money you didn’t intend to spend, the brakes have gone out on the downhill semi.
