Gambless, which was a finalist for the annual Ifrah Pitch Competition (named after Jeff) at last month’s EGR North America East Coast Briefing in New York City, aims to provide an array of therapeutic tools to people who need - or think they might need - help with a gambling problem.
“Today, in the age of the internet, there’s like an app for everything,” said Jeff Ifrah, a D.C.-based attorney who specializes in sports betting.īut while the sports betting industry at large features free apps galore, that’s not the case when it comes to responsible gambling resources - which is what makes Gambless such a surprisingly revolutionary concept. Stinky, of course, was referring to small plates of pre-meal food on his bar’s menu, but his message - “free apps!” - has since been co-opted for modern times. This line was first uttered by Stanley “Stinky” Womack, proprietor of the fictitious Johnson Inn in the 1996 coming-of-age (in one’s late twenties) film Beautiful Girls.
