This jaw-dropping book pulls back the curtain on the alluring yet perilous world of American sports gambling. Built around explosive interviews with the power players of the betting boom at FanDuel, DraftKings, and beyond, it reveals the troubling methods that are being used to bleed gamblers dry.
Everybody Loses is the first major investigation into America's sports gambling industry. Journalist Danny Funt has obtained wild stories and stunning admissions from the people trying to transform our nation of sports fans into a nation of sports gamblers, including:

• Former sportsbook executives who cop to misleading customers, with one admitting they're "selling that you can win, but you can't."
  • VIP "hosts" at the gambling companies who divulge the extravagant perks they offer their biggest losers to keep them hooked.
  • Insiders who recall secret meetings where NBA, NFL, NHL, and MLB executives learned how much money their leagues stood to make if they abandoned their opposition to gambling.
  • Lobbyists who detail how they converted skeptical politicians into gambling industry cheerleaders.

    This riveting narrative will captivate sports fans, concerned parents, and anyone intrigued by the intersection of money and morals. Everybody Loses is the crucial book for understanding why sports gambling is suddenly everywhere—and why the odds are so great that the problems it's creating will soon spiral out of control.
