Zanella, who says he avoids his once beloved alpine hiking trails during the summer months, supports the landowners charging admission to cross their property.

Ethan, who declined to share his last name out of fear of losing his job, bet “the spread’” on a Hurricanes-Flames hockey game.

“Once upon a time, those who came up to the mountains were prepared, dressed for the mountains, and came for hiking. Especially the Germans, who had maps and knew where to go. The Italians, on the other hand, set off, go, and take a cable car,” he says in a statement shared with CNN. “Now I’ve seen people go up to Seceda with sun umbrellas and flip-flops and get stuck because the cable car closed and they hadn’t checked the lift schedules (…) This isn’t what the mountains should be,” he says.

The local tourism body has petitioned authorities to close the turnstiles, insisting the issue is being overblown.

Still, across the Aosta Valley, parking lots have popped up to stop people from driving up the mountainside, and hikers are required to take the paid shuttle bus to Monte Rosa. At the Pian del Re peat bog in Piedmont, only 150 cars are allowed to park in the closest parking area to discourage visitors. Some regions, including Lake Braies, now charge 40 euros a car to access the area to try to deter people from coming in to take pictures.

The hobby that’s costing young men tens of thousands of dollars трипскан вход

When Ethan lost $11,000 on a single hockey game this past March, it was the last straw.

Ethan, who declined to share his last name out of fear of losing his job, bet “the spread’” on a Hurricanes-Flames hockey game. That means a team doesn’t just need to win – they must win by more than a certain number of points. The Hurricanes did come out on top – but by only one point, not the two-plus Ethan needed.

Ethan, 27, broke down and cried in front of his girlfriend. He couldn’t do it anymore.

What started as a casual hobby in college with his fraternity brothers had somehow escalated into a severe, years-long gambling addiction. And Ethan wanted out.

Although his story is extreme, Ethan is an example of an increasingly concerning trend.

A recent national survey of registered voters in the US conducted by Fairleigh Dickinson University found a quarter of men under 30 bet on sports online — and 10% of men ages 18-30 have a gambling problem, compared to just 3% of the overall population.

In that survey, 68% of people who bet on sports online reported at least one gambling behavior that’s considered harmful, such as borrowing money to gamble or saying the gambling has caused financial or emotional problems.
