With it came the compulsive gambler.
Then the whole world seemed to stop with the onset of the Covid-19 Pandemic. But the world of the compulsive gambler simply moved on to other forms of seeking “action” - via the internet. By the time sports resumed, a new breed of addicted gamblers was anxiously waiting. now ready, willing and extremely more able to utilize electronic devices as their preferred gambling format.
