Opening the article by talking about match-throwing by a pro athlete seems like a misstep--the real problem with legalized gambling, as the article eventually gets to, is the fact that modern sports gambling is a seriously regressive wealth transfer from low-income people with gambling addictions to tech-savvy software companies.

DraftKings ads on busses, billboards, and podcasts should be just as unacceptable as Marlboro ads.
