- Thank you
I just found your podcast a couple days ago and am working it into my morning routine, starting from the beginning. I have been a compulsive gambler for 18 years and have dabbled in all forms. But the thing that really brought me down in the end was a combination of the legalization of sports betting and DFS. My last bet was 08/21/21. From what I can tell after only the first few episodes, our stories are very similar. Thanks so much for the podcast.
