    S12, Chapter 1: The App on the Phone

    Everyone remembers their first win. I remember mine. The chief of police of New Haven, Connecticut surely remembered his.  And in the twelve months that followed, he wagered $4.4 million on sports betting apps from the phone in his pocket. This is the story of Karl Jacobson's fall, told alongside my own 10-day descent into the same apps.  Come and see what Karl felt from the inside, and the devastating lesson I learned with him: the most dangerous part of gambling isn't losing.  It's winning. The App on the Phone is the new season from Tapes from the Darkside. For the first time, you can download/stream this episode as a lossless WAV file, the exact uncompressed quality I master it in. https://www.patreon.com/tapesfromthedarkside If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling, the National Problem Gambling Helpline is available 24/7 — call or text 1-800-522-4700.

    S12, Chapter 2: The Winning Phase

    Nine apps. Ten days. Hundreds of bets. In Chapter 2, I open my bank statements and walk you through what a gambling spiral actually looks like from the inside of a checking account. From a $5 DraftKings minimum to a $2k Underdog deposit, all in a single weekend. Along the way... the promos that feel like free money, the $314 million machine that put them in front of me, and the illusion of control that turned a ten day experiment into something that almost destroyed me. Karl Jacobson's origin also comes into focus. A boy in a household with alcoholism and abuse, who felt safe when the police arrived, who spent 29 years becoming the person who makes others feel safe too. And the disease that lived in his childhood home found him anyway. Not through a bottle, but through a screen. The App on the Phone is the new season from Tapes from the Darkside. ___________ Resources If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling, the National Problem Gambling Helpline is available 24/7 — call or text 1-800-522-4700.
