This is a significant worry I have as a father of three young boys.

I have very little interest in gambling on sports outside of a small stakes wager with friends who might cheer for another team, and I tend to mentally tune out the references to these gambling sites when I watch a game. I don't know if my young boys will be able to do the same and what will the consequences of that be for them once they turn 18 and are able to legally make wagers of their own?
