Sucker

My year as a degenerate gambler

On a Thursday evening in September, I excused myself from the family dinner table and slipped into my bedroom. I didn’t want my kids to see what I was about to do.

With the door locked behind me, I pulled out my phone and downloaded the DraftKings betting app. I felt a certain thrill as I typed in my debit-card information and deposited $500. The first game of the NFL season was a few minutes away. Anything seemed possible. …By McKay Coppins

COMMENTARY MAGAZINE: The latest issue features ‘IRANAMOK’ – ISRAEL HAS BEEN PREPARING FOR THIS FOR A GENERATION.

by Jonathan Schanzer

America and Israel are at war with Iran, a fact that should be neither shocking nor surprising. Both countries have been targeted by the Islamic Republic since its inception in 1979.
