People highly underestimate the number of 18-21 year olds sports gambling. At college it seems like slightly over 50% of the guys I meet do. Some just using pick 'ems but it's not uncommon for them to use their parents identity to get on real sport books. The somewhat "nerdy" ones also just use crypto. Some are terribly in the gutter, I told my friend that India was all but guaranteed to win the chess olympiad and he bet on it somehow...

One thing that's not often talked about is how heavily gendered gambling addiction is - with something like 2/3 of gamblers being male[1] and an even more skewed ratio for problem gambling.
