Sure Bet Three - The sports betting culture seems to be taking over traditional sports viewing & fandom in the US and globally at a very fast rate. Every game, in every sport viewed on the major US networks are now promoting sports betting venues at every opportunity, while in-game sporting apps are being introduced by the dozens. How can we treat individuals with such an onslaught of technology and options that now inhabit the sports viewing space; and in a country that has historically promoted sports viewing/participation as a healthy & productive lifestyle? This workshop will explore and focus on the individual approaches to those experiencing problem sports betting issues and the dilemma of sports viewing, being a fan and successful treatment.
