Sports Betting
Overview
Online sports betting is more accessible than ever, and that’s part of the problem. With 24/7 apps, in-game betting, and quick payouts, it’s easy to blur the line between entertainment and obsession. Many men feel like they have a “system” or special insight, but the truth is, the odds are rarely in your favor.
Warning Signs:
- Betting on games you don’t follow
- Chasing losses after a bad streak
- Feeling anxious when you’re not betting
Coaching Insight:
A controlled gambling coach can help you set limits, identify risky patterns, and bring sports betting back into balance with your life.

- Gambling alone regularly
- Numb or zoned out when betting
