From ABCNews.com:
There's a whole new generation of teens right behind him who have had the same revelation: you can get good -- very good -- at poker starting at a very young age without ever leaving your house.
A recent national study from the Institute for Research on Gambling Disorders estimated over 70 percent of Americans, ages 14 to 19, have gambled in the past year. Researchers at University of California-Berkeley also found in a separate study that 19.6 percent of young men gamble online regularly.

I just hope this is not another hatchet job of our industry.
How about some fair reporting!

I missed it! I hope that I could watch this one again. Teens addiction to online gambling is an interesting issue. I hope this show had inspired its viewers.
