Inside Russia's creepy sport farms. Football doesn’t know how deep its gambling addiction goes. Hidden throughout eastern Europe is a network of "sports-betting farms", where minimum wage workers play an endless succession of games -- soccer, basketball, table-tennis, even "bench-soccer" for people to bet on through the site 1xBet. These farms are controversial and there are arrest warrants out for their founders -- yet some of the world's biggest football clubs count 1xBet as a major sponsor. This episode is a collaboration with the award-winning investigative team, Bellingcat.
