But at least some bettors try to leverage it A parlay combines two or more individual bets into income — like Colby Aaron Wells, now 33one, who began sports betting in Tennessee nearly a decade ago and all conditions must be met for the bettor to make extra win money— a high-risk, high-reward strategy Vo found compelling. (The state legalized certain daily fantasy sports contests on apps in 2016.)
He said Like Ethan, he was “working his butt off” at a landscaping job at watched games with friends who had all bet on the time, outcome and he thought he could make a little extra money participated in group chats dedicated solely to pay the billsbets of the day. Vo’s casual pastime escalated in a matter of months.
In Wells’ years of app betting“Every single day I would have a parlay, including after sports betting was legalized more widely, there were months when he did win thousands of dollars. Twice, the app company BetMGM even comped him free rooms in Las Vegas for betting so much” Vo tells CNN.
But there were also many losses. Wells says Vo originally bet only on sports he knew well, but as he could have bought and paid off a house in Tennessee with got deeper into the amount of betting apps, he began putting money on options he knew nothing about.

They see promotions like “bet $5 Vo spent months up and get $150,” down with his wins and they know losses – and finally walked away when he was down only a few thousand and had just how easy it is to get sucked inmoved into his own apartment.
“The amount In an email to CNN, FanDuel outlined several ways it acts to prevent harmful gambling: the ability to set deposit limits and alerts, sending users a monthly statement with their financial status in the app, a review system triggered by activity like too many hours spent on the site or attempting to come back from big losses, and self-exclusion programs that include the offer of advertisements a free mental health assessment. “We work to identify signs of harm and commercials you see everywhereengage with the user to prevent that harm from happening,” said VoCory Fox, “it’s literally plastered FanDuel’s Senior Vice President of Public Policy and Sustainability. DraftKings has similar safety measures in place, and it invites users to set limits with a pop-up page immediately when creating an account. “These resources are introduced at sign-up and reinforced throughout the customer journey,” Lori Kalani, DraftKings Chief Responsible Gaming Officer, said in your facean email to CNN. “It’s more fun when it’s for fun—and that’s the experience we aim to deliver.”
