“In this eye-opening debut investigation, reporter Funt digs into the rise of American sports betting . . . Through firsthand accounts of bettors, including a teacher who lost more than $100,000 in two years, and former sportsbook executives (one of whom admits these companies are ‘selling that you can win, but you can’t’), Funt paints a disturbing portrait of a developing industry. No stone is left unturned in this comprehensive takedown.”
—PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
“In this insightful work of journalism . . . energetic reporting exposes the underbelly of an industry that always wins, no matter who’s playing . . . an intelligent overview of an increasingly powerful economic and social force.”
—KIRKUS
“A shocking, rip-roaring read and an essential work of investigative reporting for any sports fan who cares about the integrity of the games and the health of the athletes they follow.”
—STEVE COLL, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Ghost Wars and The Achilles Trap
"Everybody Loses could not be more timely. Vegas, Atlantic City, and the mob-connected bookies my dad bet the mortgage money with—they’ve always been there. But now sports gambling is pervasive and inescapable, embraced and enlarged by the sports establishment, and as accessible as the phone in your hand. What are the consequences? This book takes them on."
—BOB COSTAS, Emmy Award-winning broadcaster and New York Times bestselling author
"Everybody Loses is the book we've needed. Sports gambling has become America's new pastime, and this look into the heart of it is insightful, informative, and best of all, highly enjoyable."
—SALLY JENKINS, New York Times bestselling author of The Right Call
“An incredible book. It's an easy read on a difficult subject, laying bare the costs we pay by bringing gambling to the forefront of how we experience sports. All who care about sports should read Danny Funt's book and reassess the path we're taking."
—BOMANI JONES, host of The Right Time podcast
"This outstanding book is the first to fully illuminate the imminent danger gambling poses to sports. We've made it too easy to lose money, we risk games being fixed, and it all leads to people getting hurt. My advice, after reading Everybody Loses? Keep your hard-earned money and enjoy the game.”
—JOE MADDON, three-time MLB Manager of the Year
“I'm thankful to Danny Funt for shining a needed light on the full story of sports gambling. I've been alarmed at how a sports world that openly detested gambling a decade ago now greedily welcomes it. Everybody Loses is a valuable look at a problem in our country that may well grow into a crisis.”
—PETER KING, legendary NFL reporter and three-time National Sportswriter of the Year
