Why do fans bet against their own teams — and why does it feel good when they win either way? Dr. Andrew Kim, psychology professor and gambling expert, joins Shane Hewitt to unpack the emotional and behavioral patterns driving modern sports betting. From the World Series to the Super Bowl, they explore how “emotional hedging” shapes fan behavior and how betting can quietly cross into addiction. The conversation turns to government oversight and the rapid expansion of private betting markets, questioning whether safeguards are keeping up with demand.
