The guy who was my high school back-up was a great guy. He had a lot of friends. Way more than me. He seemed so easy going unless you really knew him. Home life was a mess. He went to a Kutztown where they wanted him to run track but he decided not to. He went heavy into sports betting starting in college. A couple of decades later the guys he owes money to threaten his kids. He killed himself. The funeral parlor was filled with people that he could have asked for help but didn't.
My nephew went to Lehigh. One night he a few friends are going for food. One of the friends asked to stop at the bank on the way. What my nephew and other friends didn't know was that this kid was so far down a whole that he thought robbing the bank and casually jumping in his friend's car was the best solution. The police were waiting at the apartment when they came back.
From Jordan to Ohtani, gambling causes some bad decisions. I really fear that online gaming is taking the pain and hiding it out of sight. Now that college sports is a money grab, it is only going to get worse from here. Sorry to say.
