Journalist Danny Funt has obtained wild stories and stunning admissions from the people trying to transform our nation of sports fans into a nation of sports gambers,... This riveting narrative will captivate sports fans, concerned parents, and anyone intrigued by the intersection of money and morals. Everybody Loses is the crucial book for understaning why sports gambling is suddenly everywhere-- and why the odds are so great that the problems it's creating will soon spiral out of control."-- From dust jacket
