Sports betting is becoming a prominent part of sports culture and fandom.
If you watch sports, you'll know that there is no avoiding the glaring presence of sports betting and its ads.
With changes in technology, gambling ads pervade not only our TV screens and on-field advertising but also our podcasts, YouTube videos and social media feed.
In this episode, we look at how technology and advertising have led to the ubiquity of sports betting. How sports gambling is changing our relationship with sports. And how sporting codes, the media, and governments are complicit in this sports betting boom.
In this episode of Think: Business Futures, presenter Stefan Posthuma is joined by Dr Adam Cohen, Lecturer for Sport Management at the UTS Business School, and David Rowe, Emeritus Professor of Cultural Research at the Institute for Culture and Society at Western Sydney University.
