Sports betting has become increasingly popular over the past few years and can cause meaningful harm, similar to other types of gambling. However, sports bettors are a unique group of gamblers with specialized needs. This clinical-based training will dive into the distinctive risk factors that can impact sports bettors at the individual, interpersonal, and environmental levels. Following this overview, we will outline concrete treatment interventions that can be used to address these risk factors in your own practice. Participants will be given the opportunity to demonstrate their understanding of the treatment strategies by engaging in a small group activity.
