As legal gambling surges, some states want to teach teens about the risks
By WAYNE PARRY
Associated Press
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP)
— As a high school senior,
Nick was blessed with a
deadly accurate jump
shot from the three-point
range — something he was
quick to monetize.
He and his gym classmates
not far from the Jersey
Shore would compete to
see who could make the
most baskets, at $5 or $10
a pop.
“It gave a different dy-
namic to the day, a cer-
tain level of excitement,”
Nick said. “Little did I know
how far it would continue
to go.” Before long, he
was gambling staggering
sums of money on sports,
costing him over $700,000
in the past decade. He hit
rock bottom last year when
he stole $35,000 from his
workplace and gambled it
away on international ten-
nis and soccer matches –
sports he admittedly knew
nothing about.
