Are you a sports fan? Did you know that in the U.S., sports betting is legal, and revenue amounted to $113.9 billion sports betting wagered and gross revenue (operator win) of $11.07 billion (Covers.com). Around 1 in 5 U.S. adults reported they have personally bet on sports in some way (Pew Research Center, October 2025). Sports betting is perceived as harmless but we have youth, adults, student athletes, and professional athletes who are at risk. Attend this session and learn prevention strategies to help people be part of a winning team without suffering losses.
