Follow the show: Against the Rules with Michael Lewis
Michael Lewis heads to Las Vegas to explore the way sports betting used to work, up until the day it was rapidly legalized by states around the country.

But the new online casino differs from the old ones in an important way: It doesn’t take all bets.
