In two weeks, legalized sports betting will be a reality in Ohio.

Before you rush to the ticket window, you should know the dangers associated with gambling.

"Once you do it as an ordinary habit, you know the way you reach for a cup of coffee in the morning, then you know that it's not a good sign," said Richard Boyatzis, organizational behavior professor at Case Western Reserve University

JACK Entertainment Senior Vice President of Sports and Digital Gaming Adam Suliman told 3News the betJACK Sportsbook will have a dedicated team to help customers understand sports betting.

"We certainly expect customers are going to have questions," said Suliman.

The 'customer ambassadors' will assist with understanding the rules of the game they choose to place a wager on and there are pamphlets scattered across to sportsbook for more information.

JACK Entertainment also launched a betJACK Training Camp app to provide practice for sports betting for their customers. The app uses fake tokens, but will switch to real money for the new year.
