Episode 9: Framing the Gambler

Episode 9: Framing the Gambler

Michael Lewis gets a glimpse of sports gambling's future by talking with writers in Great Britain and Australia, where the industry is even more entrenched.

Especially when powerful industry advocates are able to pay scientists to sow doubt and delay the day of reckoning.
