Ep 7: Bet the Over if you Want Both Teams to Have Fun
Tuesday Nov 28, 2023
Tuesday Nov 28, 2023
You just heard your boyfriend (or cousin, or brother, or father, or other person in your life) utter the phrase, "If Jefferson makes one more catch and the Vikings cover, my parlay hits and I make $125". No, they did not just get possessed and begin speaking in tongues. No, they are not negotiating a peace treaty among warring factions (that's a parley, not a parlay). They're just talking about sports betting! Tune in to this episode, where your hosts, Maddie and Hayley, give a crash course on common terms and examples in sports gambling.
NOTE: Gambling can be extremely addictive. Be very careful if you choose to place bets of any kind. Only bet what you are willing to lose. If you or a loved one have a gambling problem, call 1-800-GAMBLER, or visit https://www.ncpgambling.org/
