Jordan Holt's story highlights the growing concern of sports gambling addiction, which surged after the legalization of sports betting in the U.S. Holt's personal experience reveals how quickly gambling can spiral from fun to obsession, as he became consumed by the desire to recover his losses. The American Gaming Association anticipates record betting amounts during events like the Super Bowl, which reflects a broader trend of increasing gambling risks. Experts warn that the convenience of mobile betting greatly contributes to this issue, as it becomes easier to gamble uncontrollably.
I literally couldn't stop. It was an obsession at that point. It was all I could think about. I couldn't focus on anything, but winning back the money I lost.
If you become preoccupied with your gambling, start to lose control over the amount and time spent betting, that's a clear red flag.
