According to this article, the Dutch Gambling Authority have awarded 4000€ to students for two Gambling Related thesis.


I think in the paper there were few points that were really interesting, most of the times physicians do categorize the gambling addiction into mental disorder but some might accidentally compare it to the OCD. Whereas it claimed how the gamblers who are addicted are 'too uncertain' therefore should be treated seperate from the OCD patients. Apparently the mentality lied in being sensitive to rewards, overconfidence, overestimation as well.

I think it's a wise article and should be taken as a reference when any medical help is being provided to gamblers and at the same time gamblers should also take a note and understand the psychology better.

Would you ever consider doing your research in Gambling?  https://www.gamblinginsider.com/news/16389/ksa-awards-4000-to-students-for-gambling-theses (https://www.gamblinginsider.com/news/16389/ksa-awards-4000-to-students-for-gambling-theses)

Hahahaha.

For me, it looks like one real paper with really complex and interesting material received "Thank you", and two papers with obviously less usefulness (one is completely garbage - reasoning about ethics) received cash prizes.

If I were doing research in gambling, it would rather be research in mathematics (including AI) or something similar (tangible), but not this empty demagogy about ethics.

Eh. 2500 euros for reasoning about ethics  ::) Of course, I would like to do such "research" if I received such payment on a regular basis  ;D
It's funny that the issue with loot boxes has long been resolved in many countries from a legal point of view (they are recognized as gambling), but for some reason there is a discussion about ethics.

We don't know anymore what standard they have in the academic community, maybe, it depends on how they sell the topic to the audience. Thus, receiving cash prize for maybe simple topics discussed. We can't blame the students, because it depends on the judging group here. We don't know their reasons why they feel they need to give cash rewards for these topics. Maybe, there's no better topics in the competition.  :P

Does even AI works in gambling ? AI may work on sports betting where you have some date to analysis but in casino gambling, even an AI and/or a robot will fail to come up with any meaningful results.
By the way, i never heard of thesis on Gambling , although thesis on AI video games is a completely different thing.

Of course we know  ;D All these "standards of the academic community" are complete bullshit and hypocrisy. The one who pays the money can get any desired result from the "scientists" as we have seen even in very serious topics. Now science is inseparable from politics, and therefore has little value if it is treated from the point of view of common sense.

It would be quite interesting and I am sure there must be already a number of scientific studies around gambling. I am sure the casinos have requested and financed this type of works, just like McDonalds has perfect knowledge of the views of its clients and has carefully designed all the products. I think the field is certainly still open with the gambling on-line to economic, psicological or other studies.

If ever we create a topic or a thesis about gambling, it has to be something that has not been discussed yet. Like something that can actually contribute knowledge to the gambling industry/sphere since there are already lots of studies with regard to gambling, in general.

Like what you also mentioned, creating a thesis about gambling requires time, effort, and resources on your end. It has to be something worthwhile- something that will bring benefit to the public as it will definitely outweigh your personal needs for them.

If you’re a curious one and finding for the answer, you can really have this kind of topic but of course you must be on a legal age so you can get datas that you may needed in order for you to accomplish this topic. This is an interesting one, you just need to know the scope of your study to lessen the respondents. Doing your Thesis is one of the big challenges in your student career, if the University acknowledge it and even give you a reward, most probably you really down a great job.

Oh, there are a ton of them.

A lot of smart people are looking at arbitrage betting, expected value, etc.

But most of them are highly technical and not going to make sense for the average Joe for them to take advantage of. And certainly someone without a rigorous mathematical background would not be able to come up with these theorems in the first place.

^ Definitely right, I remember before when I was in college solving a thesis is really hard, it needs your full time and focuses on it so that you can defend your thesis and I think it is very hard if it is a thesis in gambling. You must know the fundamentals to the technical function of the gambling casino and it should be there is a lot of research that you must do. The 2500 euro seems quite big and probably that will push me to finish the thesis earlier than the expected date.

Its a wide scope honestly when you do touch up the topic or subject of gambling but i did see back into those college days about this thesis where they had successfully defended it.
If you are really that having determination in terms of researching in every corner or aspect of gambling then i dont see for it to be that hard but of course it would
really be still needing that effort which it do really requires just same as usual when it comes to thesis which all of us  would be experiencing.

I’ve heard one as well but it only tackles a little portion about gambling. I believe its good to have topic on specific games in gambling, by this you can give more information about it especially the pros and cons. Its good to see students getting more interested in gambling but of course to learn first before trying. If you’re into gambling, reading this thesis can be a big help.

Why not?

However, I'm old enough to take a shot about it.

Gambling is a good subject for a thesis, however, we can't just choose random topics for a future thesis. At least here in our country, a thesis should be based on and related to the college course we take.

Games, metaverse games, gambling games - seem a good idea to pick up.

I think the article lacks important details for further understanding the awarded thesis. Why aren't loot boxes ethical? Maybe because some people win legendary prizes, while others win common, uncommon rewards? Well, people know the odds and still want to play by the rules. What is wrong with that? It's up to each person to decide to play or not. There is nothing moral or immoral on that, since there isn't cheating.

Not every cases of gambling addiction are the same. The addiction can be a symptom of obsessive compulsive disorder or not. There are gamblers who are constantly uncertain and fearful, with no confidence when playing, but they just keep clicking the 'roll' button, because they can't avoid doing this due to compulsiveness.

The thesis has a point, but shouldn't be concluded as a generalization of gambling addiction theme.

If the gambling is applicable with my course, why not? But it seems that it is most likely for psychology students who are doing their undergrad or post-grad papers since the gambling or gambling addiction is more connected to mental health issue. It is just a surprise that he gets money from his research.

If you will be able to come up with any kind of topics that is related with gambling such as games, platforms and just like for this one which the psychological aspects of gambling then, you might be able to apply on your course. That is, if you are that dedicated to it that you will came up for a topic about it.
In this case, without having the knowledge with the whole thesis, I think that they are not really directly discussing about gambling as they've mentioned loot boxes on games which may have similarities with gambling.
As we know loot boxes or gatcha in games has their own risk since you will most likely to buy it with real money or even grind for it to gain rare items. The chances of these things are limited and with these rare and limited rewards, people are addicted to buying with having any certainty that they'll receive the items they like.
As for the prize award, probably they have defended their thesis too well against other thesis projects which might be reason they've received that award

That would take a lot of thoughts on what could you research for a gambling thesis and more often than not, your professor would even let you repeat for just the title. There are a lot in mind but it wouldn't be that easy just because anyone is thinking about it, furthermore, there might be similarities on other past thesis.

Metaverse Gambling, NFTs, Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain Technology, Decentralization - sounds like a start for a new scam ICO project. Someone should write a thesis on that!
 :D

The research paper focus on Poker when he applies technology. The majority of poker table nowadays has built-in calculator about winning chance rate base on the players hand card and the open card in the table. It's really possible to apply AI technology to this kind of game since there's a fixed numbers of cards in the deck while the number of ways can be determined using math calculations. This AI technology can apply on other games that has same methodology of poker like Blackjack.

We have no rights to question the thesis content since we don't have full knowledge on the main purpose of that research and what's the needs of the countries that awards grant on it. We have different preference so we should respect others research and stop saying garbage on others work. This is an insensitive remarks tbh.

Maybe if gambling was allowed in my country and not a taboo subject to research.
I think it would be an interesting thesis to research very many things that we can research around gambling ranging from gambling addiction, the amount of money used, the time to gamble and so on.
Maybe gambling addiction will be an interesting topic to research because this problem has become a serious problem in some countries.
But maybe we will find it difficult to find a correspondent with whom we will interview because we have to visit a casino and maybe play for a while to be able to find the right person to interview.

I think that will be a very rigorous thesis to do to and it will cost alot of money.  To do that it must take alot of hard work that will judiciously put in the research because gambling is a very wide area. Gambling is all about sports and habit put together not taking away the gambling houses like the casinos. Therefore, it will mean a whole lot of sound research talking about different games, attitude of players, game houses, role of blockchain in gambling , scam etc to mention few areas and a whole lot of what you can think of.

Sure there are huge data of topics to select from in doing a gambling thesis

And the new side of it is gambling with cryptocurrency and it effect or defects if any.

For € 2,500 why not? I think it could be a good help also for people who are studying gambling addiction, however it is not my field and this thesis is way more different from what I have in the University where I graduated (since it is a different field). The study might probably have uses for them that's why they rewarded him.

Doing a thesis in gambling to find out that loot boxes are unethical?  :D I think every sane person would agree with that. I encountered many times of loot boxes in online games and none of them were worth their money. Back in the days you would pay 50$ for a game and that be it, you had a full game and didn't need anything else. Maybe after 1-2 years there would be an add on coming out but that is it, no need to spend anymore money. In todays world there are so many alternative pricing methods which is really sad. I know guys who justify spending 500-1000 USD in a single game per year to get some different cosmetics and skins. All of them are hidden behind loot boxes with a drop chance of 1-5%. You need to buy so many of those boxes to get what u actually want it's really sad. And the addiction behind is more OCD than gambling addiction because its about to get all the rare things in a game. It's like being a perfectionist for skins in a computer game.

In addition to betting, there is also poker. As far as I know, the AI already plays better there than humans almost everywhere except for no-limit hold'em (although I have not been interested in current news for a long time, so maybe the AI is already better in every discipline). Probably all counting games (poker, blackjack, etc.) are good for AI, but such as dice or roulette are meaningless, since nothing depends on the player. But even in these types of gambling - sports betting, poker and other things, the work of AI is very interesting, since this is not the usual calculation of moves like in chess, but work with probabilities.

It's not easy to take a thesis, especially in gambling if you don't have knowledge about gamblers and gambling you have to talk to and interview a lot of gamblers and their environment whether they are playing online or offline, but with that huge amount it's worth it, students are good in creating thesis even if it's not their subject of interest because they know how to study any fields as they are students, they have the time and aggressive in finding the cause and effect.

Casinos want more people to gamble and spend more time in gambling for obvious reasons. A lot of research has already done on gambling and there is a concent world wide that its an addiction and should only be done by moderators and that too in moderation. Just dont spend too much on gambling, most take it fun but end up in anxiety.

As long as we regard loot box buyers as healthy adults who decide how they spend their money, loot boxes are completely ethical. Is not it? I know people who spent about three monthly salaries on games (on a mobile phone) (I say this to understand the scale, since prices are different in different countries) and this was without any loot boxes. I think if they are happy with the purchase, then why not? It is their right to make such spending and the right of developers to come up with different ways to monetize.

Dont know on why people do really love to blame up things which the things had been happening can really be blamed towards their actions.If they do really spend up their money on that way then its not really

our business but there are really people who are really that mindful towards other actions and things that had been done without even trying to realize that its their god damn right on how
they would really be using their money.Its none of our business if they would really be messing out their lives because of it.

Studies shows the same result all over again and yet many are still addicted in gambling. Most probably, this studies either can give a warning to some gamblers and can encourage someone to gamble, hoping that the purpose of this study is to fully educate the people and give the real situation of gambling because if its not, then I think this is a useless studies which only side in favor of the casinos.

I have my own thesis on gambling, and I share it here from time to time! Everything is gambling! Chances for something to happen or not to happen float around all the time! We all do things to gain something, we invest ourselves and what we have in everything around us, from relationships of any kind to jobs of any kind! We all give and receive! And can we say that we received more or less than we gave? Or is it vice-versa? It's always gambling, I see chances everywhere around... We just gamble, because we never know the outcome! And sometimes we win in life and love, sometimes we don't! Just like in gambling with dice!

After all, gambling is math! Just numbers, a lot of numbers, and calculations! Once you start thinking like that you see chances and odds everywhere around! And you know what?! The result is always hard to predict, simply we face so many surprises through life, it's when low odds fall and high odds pass!

The theory of probability is a valid study dating back hundreds of years.   Its a totally valid part of modern maths so I dont find their research award too controversial.  Gambling is a normal activity not just for sport or fun but every industry has unknown risk factors they must address to improve known outcomes.      Its more incorrect to define the wider world as known and certain.

For familiarization and awareness, these subjects are good to pick for the thesis.

If you did your thesis before, your subject should cover all the stuff be it positive or negative. That's how you work for your thesis, a complete one discussing the pros and cons. Because of that, the scam part will also be discussed.

In that way, people won't be much that hyped about these new trends in gambling thinking the new innovation means an easy profit and winnings.

Gambling was running with the gambling addiction,huge players of gambling was getting addiction. Mataverse is seems to the scam gambling site. Gambling needs more and more skills for the investment of the traders. Gamblers play over the Metaversa had a positive opinion. But now their option to win vigorously. Many need huge funds to do thesis on gambling, but for me it's enough to do with 1000$ for this.

Psychology students are finding your location LOL. Gambling is an "activity" and therefore there can be tons of fields of studies that can use this as a research topic. These includes gamblers' mentality, addiction, or even the gambling system itself. Psychology research are indeed tough since you are more onto Qualitative approach that relies more on behavioral study or case studies while the mathematical approach can be done even without observing people for countless of hours just for a single line of proof. Moreover, case studies/ behavioral studies doesn't always conclude to an answer, but rather a data to be used for a future reference, hence never been a garbage.

If I were to create one, despite of my knowledge in programming and math, I'd rather be focusing on the gamblers' behavior as such findings are way more helpful than creating a gambling system that already had been made by tons of people.

Because you are going to spend years doing the thesis and if you count the total hours you spend on it, the average would not be even €1 per hour. If you include expenses that you necessarily have to make, financially it is a ruin.

Doing a doctoral thesis only makes sense nowadays if you plan to be a university professor. Before it also made sense to show that you know a lot in a field that you are passionate about, but nowadays with everyone having internet on their cell phones it is much more worthwhile to set up a Youtube channel or something like that where apart from sharing your knowledge about what you are passionate about you can earn money, instead of spending money from your pocket as you would do with a doctoral thesis, just so you can tell people that you are a PhD when you go to a dinner even though you are not a university professor and never will be.

This is a wise thought by OP - but the ^^ above message states good fact too. Even if you do a research and quit gambling - its not an easy thing to do.
It is like a chain smoker who wants to quit smoking or an addicted alcohol drinker who wants to quit drinking. In our society there is a quote which says - excess of everything is bad. And it is! 

Loot boxes aren't ethical? ;D
I don't need to write a thesis,in order to come to the conclusion that loot boxes aren't ethical.
Loot boxes aren't fair to begin with.They are just great for hooking up the players and manipulating their minds into producing more dopamin.
Gambling games and video games aren't supposed to be ethical and fair.They are supposed to manipulate your brain and make you think that you are having some fun,while wasting your time(and money).There's nothing necessarily wrong with that.All the bad habits and guilty pleasures are like that.
Anyway,I don't think writing a thesis about gambling should be financially rewarded.The companies in the gambling business could spend those money for advertising or for building better online casinos.

I think the whole subject of gambling in general is quite an interesting topic to do some research, and there are many topics that would be great to explore.

Other than the usual psychological themes you could also explore what are some of the best investments of gambling profits. A famous Australian professional gambler, David Walsh, ended up opening an amazing Museum of Old and New Art(MONA) in Hobart, Tasmania with what he earned gambling using his system.

I'm interested to read this man's thesis. It must not be a simple thesis of arguing that loot boxes are not ethical as per Immanuel Kant. There must be more than this which made it approved as a valid thesis and even made the judges choose it as deserving of the award.

But I don't know if this application of Immanuel Kant's categorical imperative ethics is the kind of practicality that we would want. After all, even gambling itself in general might end up unethical through the lens of Kant.

But, overall, philosophy applied to loot boxes is indeed amusing.

If you are a gambler you will not suggest of not spending time in gambling because some people uses gambling as hobby and feed on daily gambling, do you know that some of crypto investment is gambling and look well for trading. Why some of the casino gamblers wants to not listen to any body for cryptocurrency or casino gamble is because of the profit involve, some of us play gamble as game of pleasure and some play as do and die affairs

The amount of information gathered on this thesis subject will be gold to new and old gambling running sites. They could boost the players count and even make initiatives on people to gamble, I've never knew such thesis exist and got paid, maybe they were funded by gambling tycoon sites or if not by the government to lessen the gambling addicts in their society. However the government is earning money from gambling sites, just in our country the government is getting millions of dollars out of cockfighting online, just how big the money is really.

Maybe there's a new thing added on his research that can be helpful in science, they will not give him a money for nothing. I believe that gambling addiction is one of the cases related to Psychological problems it like spending too much and being reckless. It becomes the result of us wanting something that we cannot get and we got severely frustrated and sometimes people gamble to ease their mind.

If maybe this course is related to gambling or psychology then yes you might be doing a thesis related to gambling but other than that, no because it's going to be an off-topic but i think having an ocd still relates to mental disorder and the people who are addicted to gambling might have an ocd because they keep on doing the same thing again and again so therefore the treatment for them can also be the same.

Addicted gamblers are not uncertain but they certain or predictable in other words. The students must have wrote an exceptional thesis and that is why they are being rewarded by cash. It's a win-win situation for them because they likely get a good grades too.

I'm done doing with research papers.

I'm into reading them if they are truly interesting. But I don't think that I can make one just like that. Maybe just for short researches when I'm curious into something that I'm in need to know as quick as it can be.

Well, many researches that I've read is always having the same description about an addicted person in gambling as it relates to mental health. And having that reward as you make your final requirement through a research, well, who doesn't like that.

A recognize is more than enough and with a monetary prize is a bonus.

I am sure people have done quite a number of reserch papers on the topic, from a socio perspective, a psychology perspective, math...there are so many angles to approach this, this is a great topic and would be great for anyone that wants to do a deeper dive. Actually, it would be even interesting to read all those papers.

At one time, Blaise Pascal, studying gambling with dice, discovered the laws of the mathematical theory of probability.  

Since Blaise Pascal had phenomenal mathematical abilities, friends constantly consulted with him - which combination of dice falls out more often and which less often.  

Pascal became interested in this issue and created the mathematical theory of probability.  I am also thinking about writing a dissertation on the theory of gambling.  But I'm not interested in the ethical issues of the game.  Although I am well acquainted with the philosophical works of Immanuel Kant.  

I want to explore the relationship between mathematical probability theory and modern quantum physics (in relation to gambling).

I like this variation the most: The buyer is happy with the purchase, but some outside clown insists that the purchase is bad and the buyer has suffered  ;D I wonder where these people come from who know better than other people what is good and bad for them and "how to live"? It looks like a real mental disorder.

Spending years? OMG that's too long. I think it is only possible if you are lazy and if you are not smart at all. Things will work slower for you but if you love what you are doing you wouldn't mind the time and the effort that you have spent.

It is still better to work passionately and with full interest in the job because you will not rush things as you are going to make sure that what you write are good quality, unlike to those who will try to create a thesis only because there is a reward waiting for them. They will try to rush things because they are too excited to grab the money but in the end, their work wont still be acceptable by the judges because they write it poorly.

If you have experience in doing a thesis and you already created a good thesis in the past, (I guess we all are ) you will not even spend years doing that, and because there's a prize attached to it you will see to it that it's a good one by and you will ask a source or someone who already become a judge if your thesis is good enough to pass the criteria, if the prize is that high you should see to it that it pass the criteria of the judges.

Doing thesis isnt something simple that you could just make out some simple research and drawn conclusions to that because you would really be needing to back up those claims and conclusions which to
think that you would need to defend it.

If you are that confident and believe that you do know all about the subject or making yourself fully prepared then i dont see something wrong with this.It all matters indeed with the
criteria and jurisdiction of panels about on the said topic.

Wow, if there is a good prize waiting for it, why not? But let's admit that making a thesis and gathering all the valuable information related to that is definitely not an easy task to do. You can't just simply put them into wring without doing some vivid research from all those reliable resources. And we should always be specific and create a clear details on it, so that the mentors that will be judging the contents of the thesis will approve it. And lastly, as there have been a lot of studies in gambling before, then we should always come up with the latest principles and facts about gambling that made our studies look original and unique as compared to the previous thesis in gambling.

Even if an OP does a thesis - that is not going to make any difference only maybe people reading it and making good references to support from their thesis.
Those who are gambling addicted might not leave gambling at any cost. And those who do not want to get themselves indulged in gambling would not want to do it at any cost. Gambling is a trouble if not done with wisdom.

Every research makes a difference. It might not be immediate but as long as it is thorough and adds to the body of knowledge it makes a difference. To buttress my point, the op's research findings may even bring out a unique perspective on the issue of gambling that may never have been discovered.


The summary of the research findings is not to make gambling addicts quit at any cost rather it is to help policy makers formulate policies, make laws that will bring about regulation, creation of new facilities to help folks quit and generally ensure that gambling addition doesn't become an epidemic.

Excellent data that can be used in any way, but it does not give any real answer. Yep, not trash. To be honest, I don’t care about the opinion of students (and even professors) of psychologists, since you probably already guessed how I evaluate the value of their “activities”. If we take two psychology students and try to get an answer from them, we will get three opinions, hahahaha.

4000€ is such a huge amount those students must be that good to get the nod of the judges and be awarded this huge prize
I would consider doing a thesis in gambling because

1. I'm a player myself
2. I have friends who used to be hooked on gambling to interview
3. I am active in the gambling section of Bitcointalk
4. The prize is such a huge motivation that I can go an extra mile just to get the prize.

The gambling thesis involves a lot of information and should cover everything from the industry to players and mental health.

My college days are sadly long over but if I were still I school I would certainly consider doing a research paper on gambling as there’s so many different aspects that you can look at such as OCD, addiction, etc. I guess of course it also depends on what type of class you’re taking and doing the paper in. Say you’re doing it in a psychology class I think there’s so many cool angles you could study it.

I am not sure if someone does a thesis - how much it will be effective.
Those who want to gamble would not listen to anyone unless they learn the lesson hard way. For those gambling is prohibited they would not gamble - so there are two extremes. Both very intense on their stance.

I'll go for it if there is an amount involved even close to that 4000 Euro, it's not easy work but we have a lot of resources available like Google, gamblers, doctors, professionals, and thesis reviewers, but if it's a competition on thesis about gambling with that huge prize your chances is 50/50, thesis is not like an article, you have explored everything and it should be

A good thesis should have all the best elements as stated on this article

Developing a Strong, Clear Thesis Statement (https://courses.lumenlearning.com/suny-ccc-engl-1010-1/chapter/developing-a-strong-clear-thesis-statement/)

The science of gambling addiction might be summarized by Gollum diving into a volcano after the one ring (his precious) in LOTR. Emotions associated with material gain and greed. Override rational cognition.

The high profit potential of gambling being only a click away can have a powerful negative influence on rational thought. It meshes with the instant gratification culture of short term gains which many today subscribe to.

A person could conceivably earn $50,000+ through gambling. By simply clicking on an interface. That idea has a lot of gravity to it. Especially to those who lack belief in themselves earning success through other means.

You've missed reading the first post and they've done it and rewarded with their thesis.

There's nothing wrong if you decide to gamble. But just take yourself accountable for any result that you'll get. It's the hardest part for being a gambler when you don't accept results and you're removing yourself accountable for bad results.

This is enough to make me pensive and chuckle. The thesis is quite important, and the request for a new gambling arrangement I met. The Netherlands is quite a different country from my country. But I appreciate the prize received and the time this master took to the composition of the thesis. Maybe in other developed countries gambling can help and add value. moreover from the effects it produces, addiction, self-confidence, ambition and curiosity may be commonplace for those mentioned in the results of the thesis. positive things that can be What I take is that the faculty/student can analyze (thesis work) although maybe in some countries gambling is not legal. But the persistence of that person in completing his thesis I appreciate even though it is themed (gambling)

Well, gambling has been a part of many studies for decades due to its effects not only on individuals afflicted with addiction but also on the society wherein the addicts belong to. If my field is in psychology and I'm looking to stress how emotions override rational thinking, gambling is the perfect example for that. That urge to win the jackpot albeit not having enough money to go by for the next day is what most gamblers often experience, and studying it is often easy because it gives the researchers a huge sample to work with.

If the man wins than most of his stresses are revealed - but if he loose, he is in double stress.
The community we live in - we don't gamble. We are prohibited to. Even if we do. We always have the idea of commiting a sin at the back of our mind.

I have seen a couple of scientific articles based on gambling, and it probably would make a lot of good references since it has come out only this year.

This article^{[1] (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0747563222000917)} is based on Australia and gambling problems. The focus of the study is as follows

• Land-based only gambling problems
• Online-based only gambling problems
• Mixed mode gambling problems

I think it will answer why people would opt-in to gamble in land-based casinos or online, or a mix of both. It is quite an exciting approach and how it affects the health problems that people may face with it.

Another article^{[2] (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0306460322000843)} that might interest you guys is that the gambling problems that occur with games. Video gamers would affect their gambling decisions, like the effects of the loot boxes and non-loot boxes.

The last thing a gambler does is quitting.
That what I got an idea, because at some stage you either start feeling you are going deep down in to the well of gambling from where there is not retrive.

Thesis’s was followed by the traders and gamblers. In strategy two thing are important, While following the thesis ,the project will forced or failed by the Friend. People who lived his life very sadly, will loss with out the guiding of the new gambling size. The game was begin with the money involvement and end with money profit or leaving the table for the next step of game.

I wonder: is there anything they've written good about gambling? I doubt it has, so they just took sides and weren't impartial and didn't rely on the good side of gambling for that reason they won this award. In short: they said what most people want to hear and not what needed to be said even though it hurts a lot of people. anyway, I wouldn't do a thesis on gambling because it's a complex topic that might not please even the professor himself and to avoid unnecessary problems I would choose another topic


in general, if you make statistics on how many people play Vs how many people are addicted, we will see that the number of addicts is much lower than the number of people who are playing and who are not addicted

I don't know what you are talking about and you don't make any sense. I don't get why you quoting me without making any sense of what you are trying to say. I don't know where you got the idea that gamblers quit or something with my post. Can you elaborate more on that? Don't make a post just for the sake of posting.

Then maybe gambling won't exist in your community. But maybe somewhere else, some people already made the thesis and it will search for gamblers as samples for its thesis.

I don't know, but gambling will be related to a person's psychology, as @dothebeats said, and will affect a person's emotional factor, whether he wins or loses. Gambling is a case that can be used as material for a thesis, but finding its sources may require further research, especially to find the gamblers.

Gambling could be a very good topic for doing a research paper since the word alone has already a lot of concrete examples, and so you won't be completing the thesis the hard way. And the good thing about is, everyone can relate since gambling has been here even in the ancient period, no wonder why gamblers have been spread now all over the world. However, the only consequence that the researchers may focus is that when gamblers fall into addiction, then everything in it will fall apart. That's how gambling seems to be very powerful, it can create an instant billionaire and become the richest of all the riches, and it can drag a person down living into poverty and misery for the rest of his life.

I've never done this kind of research, but I'm interested in reading it. The authors of such studies look at gambling from completely different angles, but they all agree that gambling can lead to addiction. That is why I think that such articles are useful to read, especially for the younger generation.

I believe those who have gambling mindset. They won't stop unless they feel like quitting it. But for those who always have learnt that the gambling is prohibited - they won't get into gambling. So there are two extremes. Doing a research is a good idea. If people are interested in reading it.

That's correct a reading material but it stops there. How many thesis can be made about gambling? Is it that broad to be kept on check like different guidelines on how to gamble well or right or straight?
So the question of OP is have we ever thought of making a thesis about gambling? Never crossed my mind. Because there is really not much to talk or write about it. Some people have done the research and findings so I guess that should be enough. Making more could just be a repeat of the 1st or the 2nd one, just jumbled.

My understanding of two gambling/gaming scientific papers, made by Dutch students, received special attention from the gambling authorities in the Netherlands, two students from the two universities.

In fact, each country has its own law to give prizes or awards to outstanding students, who have completed a bachelor's degree with their latest work, if this happens in the netherlands it's something extraordinary, but if the work is made by students where the state prohibits gambling, maybe students will get nothing.

For that I can take from the article, the Netherlands still upholds gambling in its country, the proof is €4000 given by the authorities, for two talented students about gambling scientific work, I'm sure in the future there will be 2-4 more students who have prizes from the gambling authorities there, based on this incident.

And they won't just feel it but will have to have any reason to feel like that way. It's like that they should be able to get tired of losing money to feel that they have to quit then or, it's no longer healthy for them to keep doing it and that's why they're feeling like quitting is needed to happen.
A gambler doesn't have to do it but someone who studies about the ins and outs of gambling and the result of it per se to anyone that's addicted to it.

There are pros and cons of everything.Likewise it is of gambling too.
So the research or the thesis is good for those who are at the edge either they want to start gambling or they want to quit gambling. So in either case it is to begin or to end.

The prize is good enough for such a reasonable thesis. People who fall into gambling addiction couldn't handle its pros and cons right that it becomes a mental illness. As we enter gambling, we should first have the proper mindset and we shouldn't let our world revolve in it. We should always have the ability to control our emotions.

I'm not sure if this will be possible, I have been thinking if there could be the right way to have access to users visits to all gambling platforms that are been advertised in the forum, not necessary it must be doing a signature campaign, just the ones here in Bitcointalk. I have been searching for the right way to do it since the gambling platforms don't show this.
I'm looking for how data are been scrapped from website without having access to the database, just like the way exchanges traffic are been given out and number of registered users. I think this will give gamblers confidence in which of the platform they would want to play and enjoy other benefits without depending on fake reviews.
I'm open to suggestions. Thanks.

Well if I had a course that somehow studies the mentality or something, then yea sure why not. Just that my mentality on what is ethical and not ethical is kind of straightforward and is pretty much based on what I believe it is to be, so I don't think there's going to be any deep diving that could go on there. Not to mention that I think it was simply awarded because of the idea behind it, and that is an avid prevention to loot boxes, which is imo, can almost be called gambling (meaning I don't consider it as one, but it's right at the border imo).

No matter how many studies they'll make about gambling, to help addicted players, it's just nonsense to an addicted gambler who doesn't want to be help by others, or to be corrected by the society around them. Most of them are full of pride, that won't listen to anyone but themselves. It's hard to preach to people who doesn't accept that himself should be corrected because he's doing something wrong.

Addicted gamblers will never understand their situation unless they lower their pride and accept help from a professional.

With the current situation of the gambler, they will feel different emotions and it affects the game itself and also their decision making that's why most of the study is related of addiction into the psychological things of a person, having tons of research and study makes more the information reliable because many researchers outcome in their data gathering have the same results.

Research says - excess of everything is bad. Be it habit or need.
So everything looks good in limit. I have read about 7 deadly sins - one of which is Lust and greed. When you have greed and lust for money - you loose emotional control

As per the OP, the thesis on Gambling is a ridiculous thing as gambling is never included in our curriculum.  :)

Yes, we can do physical training on how to control greed and emotions but that is not only for gambling. It is general training and it will help you in all fields of life.

You could gamble every day and it'd be fine.   The only relevant point that tips the balance is money management which is a subject they sometimes teach in schools, master that and you can avoid all kinds of costs from excess spending like just normal credit cards or bad finance costs.  Just study of maths also I find is relevant though not everyone will agree, depends on the games played I guess

It's not going to get that huge rewards if it's not a worthy article, and since its rewarded for a very rich article is should be made reference provided it passed the medical board for reference to curing gambling addiction


It's not easy to create a thesis much more on a very broad subject like gambling, you have to explore everything to come out with a good perception of gambling and the mentality of gamblers, yeah I would try its worth taking because of the price it's financially changing for me if I win it.

Those who want to gamble - they enter into the whirlpool of gambling because they have their own reason. They might not be interested.
However - there is another class for whom gambling is a sin and they do not want to gamble at all. For both the class thesis wont be helpful.

I think it is supposed to be for beginners that are trying to venture that path but not for the existing gamblers because they already know the negative effects but still they keep doing it and now their situation got worse because they are now addicted to it but still they are welcome to read it and get information on how to cure their conditions but they must be sincere because if not then they are only fooling themselves and they are only wasting time and money.

Creating a thesis like this is only for students in order for them to pass their studies but it's nice that by doing a research, they are aware of the risks in gambling and they won't try to become one.

Addicted ones wont completely stop until they would really be messing out their entire lives when it comes to finances.Its not surprising nor very that common that addicted gamblers are someone who

doesnt really tend to listen to anyone.Speaking about thesis on gambling? This would really a very broad kind of topic to be discussed with and would really be that complicated whenever it touches on how
to resolve addiction which is something that will really blow up your mind on how you would really be able to defend yourself with those argumentations which would included out this scope.
So better be prepared i would say if you do intend to dive in with this thesis.

Curious students can have their thesis about gambling, as long as it remain logical and remains as their own study only and not to the extent of trying to gamble just to have a good thesis result because most probably, you might lose the money and this might be the start of your addiction. Gambling everyday is quiet risky for me and not advisable, better to gamble once you have free money and don’t make gambling as your main source of income.

Sure. I'd write a gambling thesis. It's a very interesting topic for a number of fields of science like psychology of a gambler, the way games are built to attract us with images and sounds, the way we are lured in by free games, deposit bonuses and such, the way lotteries attract people with high prizes while hiding the real math behind them...
One thing I wouldn't write about is exactly what that student from OP got paid for, which is ethics. I don't think that we can call a game ethical or not, especially if it's a player's choice to participate.

As in the OP, this article can be added as a reference while providing treatment to the gambling addicts. I've come across people submitting thesis on different titles, but the core will be having very minor changes from one another. Upon this I expect more people to do their thesis on gambling, but when asked whether this benefits anyone. Yes, it benefits the person who does thesis on gambling as he can add the respective article as reference. A thesis from a complete addict will be good, but that looks like a story.

The thesis is made to study and analyzes the problem there are a lot of people who would like to do this to support other studies and see if the outcome is the same base on their survey and data, also of course thesis benefits the proponents because its additional credit to them to those study at the same time can be use their study for another support to the future proponents. Also to make sure that the people are aware that there's an effect of playing gambling.

I would definitely like to do it. Gambling has always intrigued me. Even if i don't play it myself, i like to watch it too. It would definitely be a lot of fun to do something like this and if I'm being paid to do it, I wouldn't miss this opportunity. I can understand the psychological states people have when gambling, although not so much. I believe that i will write a good thesis by doing more research on this.

Actually, a lot of topics can be studied from the gambling industry and I've done some research about company profitability back in the day. However, I think the "funding for research" is biased towards negativity or problem gamblers. It might be suitable for MD, psychology, and major related to human behavior. Meanwhile, there's a lack of research about Economic IRR (EIRR), financial benefit, and city/country development because of gambling. Of course to study the human behavior is easier than to get economics data because you can always gather x people to fill a likert survey, or whatever.

Many people can help you regarding this matter, do some surveys but I think it will be hard to find impulsive or addictive gambler that they are aware to themselves , if I will be one of the thesis researcher I would rather focus to the topic of how does addiction affects the mental health of a person, how it actually begins, what are the stimulants etc. I know that there are already some papers for this even it is with payment or without I hope we can get some updated papers for some underlying causes.

It would be a great pleasure to carryout a thesis on gambling. Such academic work is very rare in my country yet my homeland have the highest number of gamblers in the continent. It would be very pleasing to tackle issues like gambling addictions, behavior of gamblers, the management of gambling firms and behavior of top management of gambling firms. If I can secure a grant from any of the gambling firm I would gladly put my intellectual resources in that direction. And it would be very easy to carryout the research work because the respondents are available and accessible.   

It seems very interesting to me, because it could make it possible to program a bot that can beat some type of system or that a bot can make it save all the moves made by the player to later determine which one is the best, in this it could have take into account the patterns, randomness system, but still I think it would be very difficult and guarantee a success rate I think it would not exceed 50%, because if such a thing were successful then all the bookmakers would have a total decline, I think It would be a good topic to analyze, but something impossible to guarantee. If I would, it would be like this, otherwise it wouldn't make sense to me.

I share this opinion too, research about the nature of gambling addiction, AI, mathematics and other fields is something quite interesting and it should be encouraged, but the one that received the biggest award according to the article seems to be nothing more but useless research that colleges produce all the time and which do not produce anything of value, the one that received the honorable mention was without a doubt the best, as it is quite difficult for a computer to play poker at a human level as it requires the understanding of human nature in order to do so.

If you are curious, it can make you come back the next day and of course, it will cost you more money. If we were paid to do that thesis, I think it would interest many people to make it because they don't have to use their own money to play the games to get data from gambling. But in the end, it will make us use our money, especially if our curiosity becomes bigger. If the thesis could provide more data that could be of use to the public, it would help them be aware of what to prepare before gambling.

In my country if you do a thesis on gambling all the other students of your class will be astonished for the bad and not the good,no matter how good you did the thesis.That is the general opinion here that they don't like any person who makes some paper on gambling even if that paper just emphasizes the problems of our society.The only place where such thesis would be allowed here is if you are a student or post graduate of psychology and you write such thesis,if you do it in any other place not only you will not get any money but you will get a bad opinion for yourself overall from all the audience you present it.

On the other side it is great to see countries such as the Netherlands giving money to people who make thesis to solve society problems as gambling is a problem although us gamblers will never acknowledge this.

Perhaps it's has also a good side, as written in the article. Of course any society will think that gambling is bad not just in your country. It's the stigma that brings with it. However, if you are doing thesis like post graduate studies, then I doubt that other students will think of it. All of you are now professional and maybe it's time that someone really understand what gambling addictions is, thus more study is needed to categorized them so that proper treatment could be given.

In order for your thesis to be more realistic and effective, then you should experience it yourself how to gamble so you can provide real life experiences that would convince the readers. However, knowing most of those who create thesis are those minor students, i guess providing real life experiences is not possible. But if they can make a good interview on gamblers on different fields, that will serve justification on what you wrote on your thesis. I think creating thesis on gambling would be more fun and informative too as its based more on facts and experiences of the gamblers, and not just on speculations alone.

So a student could put in months or maybe years of his time into an "academic gambling" effort for a chance to win an award for best gambling related thesis? Sounds like a great gambling opportunity  ::)

Personally I come from a physics background so I guess I could take a look at the mathmatical aspect for a thesis in gambling but I am sure a mathematician write it 2x faster than me.

But the mental disorder paper does sound somewhat interesting.  

If I ever gets a chance to do a gambling thesis - I will do it on the side effects of gambling.
Because I have read so much about the destruction made by the gambling. People gets into the gambling but like a muddy puddle they keep pushing themselves in the puddle and its hard to come out of it clean. That's my 2 cents of suggestion

It is a question of mentality, I guess. It depends mainly from it, and from the country which you livin it.

If you would do this in Italy, I guess that you should be mocked from the other students and also from the teachers because you're speaking of an argument that isn't socially accepted, here.

That is one advantage of doing thesis in gambling because all the resources are widely available and you can even trace easily the problems and solutions to gambling behaviors. Unlike other topics in thesis, you need more proven evidences to make your thesis reliable but when it comes to gambling, its easy for you to provide reliable proofs because majority of the people around are born with passion in gambling.

Well in that case I would recommend going into psychology or a similar but neurobiological field so you can actually see what exactly is happening to the head of a gambling addict. I bet that whatever it is, it has something to do with a dopamine receptor malfunction.

Same as with drug addicts, really.

It's not good if it happens to someone but everyone has the right to make their own choices.

Did you know - in some counties there are very stricts restrictions on the gambling, people practice it with respect and keep themselves gambling free. While coming towards west some communities cannot think of their life without gambling, I some culture parent would give a very tough time to their kids if they find out they are gambling.

if i was a psychiatrist student I would probably be very interested in studying about gambler for my thesis. I am happy with anything related to psychology, especially if I can cure a gambler from his addiction then I have saved other people and also his future

unfortunately in my country gambling is illegal so there are no psychiatrists who make about gambling as their thesis (maybe there are but only a handful of people)

There is advantage as well as disadvantages. Make the thesis along with the success and failure stories. This means make a comparison chart to indicate which stands high among the users. Without that just mentioning the side effects like mental stress, financial burst out etc. You could've read more destruction that have happened out of gambling. Same time there is more success stories that have happened out of gambling.

I guess you are right. If you were to think about it a bit more deeply, you could perhaps find the correct statistics on profit and loss of gamblers, especially those of gambling addicts.

If I were to guess, then I would say 99% are losses, over a long term analysis of their gambling behaviors.

If you go even deeper into the statical nature, you could write a mathematical thesis paper on gambling.

Without a doubt that is a problem, different societies have different considerations about the topics they consider to be taboo, and in some societies to talk about gambling is one of those topics, something which is a shame as there are a significant amount of angles you can take about a subject which is so deep, like why some people get addicted to it while some others do not, the long term effects of gambling addictions, the amount of people which actually can beat gambling addiction long term and so on.

Valid point. Someone who is interested in making a thesis about gambling can do this. Perhaps this could give a wider perception and viewpoint to the readers of the research. This could open the eyes of the people as to why people decide to gamble despite the risks it possess. A comparative study together with explanation of the good and bad side of gambling can be a good match.

Although take everyone's opinion about it with a grain of salt because as you know, gambling has a very bad reputation in the mainstream media. And we can't really blame for what people think of it based on what they frequently see or hear. What we can do is just prove it otherwise.

There are people of different communities living in society and i am amazed to see - some communities - do not gamble at all.
For them gambling is forbidden in their culture and religion. If we further ask them - they give valid reason - some are really good one.

It's actually a rather interesting topic to get into and there are so many different topics to cover, it'd be an excellent field of study where you could write lots of content. There are so many different emotions involved, habit forming triggers, along with chemical and physical changes in the body that seeks to continue a gambling habit. Any study into the behavior of addiction could lead to new cures or ways to prevent it from taking over peoples lives, hopefully the authors go on to prevent or help many others who are suffering under this affliction which can be very wasteful at the extreme end. Hardcore addicts really do end up throwing their lives away when they could be contributing so much more to society.

But prepare yourself whenever the defend day or due date would happen.Gambling is a broad kind of topic where you should really make yourself ready on answering in regards or in related with
gambling which is something usual on a thesis.Some might think that this scope is just easy but in overall this wont really be that something that could be easily defend with.
So its up to someone whether they would be choosing this topic or subject or not.

Maybe it's because they see gambling does not provide benefits for them that they decide not to gamble at all. It is a great example for the rest of society so that they too can follow suit and start staying away from gambling.

In some cultures and religions, gambling is prohibited and cannot be played and it has become the rule in their place. But if it's for a thesis, I think people can ask for permission to continue the thesis to get data that may be useful for other people.

I have some friends that hates to gamble eversince , we even encouraged and let them play in the past but in the end? they still cannot manage to like gambling so lets respect their beliefs and vies in life.
Yups. I believe that Muslims really prohibit their followers and believers to gamble and this is how religion makes people to decide for their own good.

I got encountered here in my country related to the gambling is all about psychological issues i read some of them and told that it mostly changes and affects the emotions and mental state of the player such as they are getting angry easily short-tempered and etc because of the pressure and stress given by the game itself instead of they will play of entertainment stress they got.

It would be necessary to see in which studies you can do your thesis on gambling. Mathematics or sociology come to mind, maybe economics too. And you have to find a thesis supervisor who is interested in directing you in that subject.

In my case I wouldn't do it, but I understand that there may be lines of research in these disciplines that could be interesting for a doctoral thesis.

I think gambling will be connected with the study of sociology, economics, and law because each study will explore the discussion of the thesis. But it all depends on what topic the thesis writer will use and if you use too many topics, the problem of discussing the thesis can become more and more.

Not many people want to be thesis supervisors, especially if gambling is prohibited in that country. It will take some time to find the thesis supervisor and I think collecting data for the thesis can take too long.

Same to me, I don't like to drink alcohol ever since and most of my friends encourage me because they are drinkers but in the end I still didn't end up like them. Not all people are the same and you can't just forced them to be like you because if they get annoyed they may not talk with you anymore.

When it comes to thesis indeed that it is important to ask your teachers first if a subject like this will be allowed or not so that you won't waste your time and effort writing in case it is not allowed. Religion on the other hand is so powerful. One must follow what has been said to you with your religion because if not then you will go to hell.

The most universally relevant subject to study would be the probability branch of mathematics and in this its highly applicable for the pure numbers side to a game even minus a person you can 'autopilot' out the trajectory of most games.    Sociology or psychology I think would be more relevant there as to what motivates people in terms of playing vs knowing it is a business with a cost to it.  You could theorize the flight fight response and how this raises adrenaline levels and could be linked to gambling.   Like alot of high energy sports there is a large amount of risk and competetive element in there that we as humans are motivated to take part in from our heritage as hunter gatherers.  
  Economics I find only relevant via gambling as an instrument of taxation in an economy.  Law because gambling is often restricted is relevant from that sideline.

Gambling can be interpreted from so many perspectives that a thesis would probably only be able to focus on one aspect. If maths and statistics are going to be the focus, I can already tell you that it would require a very original perspective to create something new. Probabilities, statistics and other are well studied fields because these influence many industries already.

there are a lot of arguments that fit with gambling!
Personally I will focused more in some treatments for people heavily addicted (likewise pharmacology or psycho help).
But I think there are a lot of arguments that could be explored related gambling and applied also in other fields/industry... unfortunately due the stigma this is something that has not been clearly studied in the past.

Maybe, it would be more appropriate if his thesis dealt with sociology than the others because it would also relate to what would happen to humans if they gambled. But when it comes to math about probability theory that a gambler can get, I don't think many people will try to dig up the information.

Maybe if it is related to socio-economic or sociological issues, there is a lot to discuss and maybe it will be interesting material to read by many people. If it was economics, it might also be interesting but in my opinion, that would be too broad a discussion.

As for the final result, the thesis will indeed focus on one aspect only but before discussing it, it can relate to several things closely related to gambling. The thesis can have mathematics and statistics in the discussion of the thesis. But still, I think other topics will be more interesting, especially if they are related to the economy or socio-economics of the gambling players. Later, at the end of the discussion, it will be written what should be done and what should be avoided by the community so that they are not addicted to gambling.

I never thought of making my thesis on gambling. But I am very willing to do a research on gambling. I think there is really much to study and learn about gambling and its so many effects, positive and negative, on individual gamblers, the family, the community, and the society or country in general. The effects of gambling is so vast, many aspects of them are probably either unknown or misunderstood. The effects range from economic, psychological, physical, in terms of relationship, etc.

Depending on the field it could even be relatively common, we must remember that the field of probabilities was born from gambling games, so if you are studying in college a career which is heavily dependent on that field then it could make sense to dedicate your thesis to it, there are also many other fields which make use of probabilities like Artificial Intelligence or Physics which could see different thesis being developed about this topic, even if at the surface there may not seem to be too much of a relationship between the two.

For me, i think there's always an edge if you consider your thesis in gambling because you will have real access on its different resources. Unlike other topics that you will get suck looking for some evidences that will give justice to the topic. And just merely realizing that gamblers are all around the corner, then that will be easy for us to get their opinions and ideas about gambling.

To make a study on addiction isn't an easy thing. Very few reveal it, whereas the majority keep it as a secret. When we feel bad of revealing ourselves a gambler, how come a person will accept he's addicted. Unlike other thesis it'll be very hard, because there is a need of continued monitoring on the changes happening with the gambler.

Myself an addicted gambler, I'll share my story and the cure is possible only through self control and not through Pharma. Another thing is the making the gamblers diverted towards something else that interests them.

I think it can fit to all kind of subject,gambling already exist from million years ago,so it can be relevant to all known subject of study.
It's just that it would be difficult to choose a specific topic to research and benefit society.

If the government gives money for a certain area of topics to write your thesis in than there should be some interest for the general public. In social studies, behavioural finance or mathematics there should be demand for gambling thesis without being looked at badly by colleagues. I don't like that the government only sponsors thesis that focus on problems in gambling. What about the benefits of gambling? I know society prefers to look at the bad things of gambling, but there is also good. For example, gambling offers a form of excitement, when we are gambling we are not outside, getting drunk and making a mess. And gambling provides jobs for people and some lucky few even manage to get rich through it. We also shouldn't forget that the government benefits through taxes from gambling. Especially the monopol on big lotteries makes a lot of money each week. It would be nice to see a thesis that looks at negative impact from leisure things like cigarettes, alcohol and gambling. Comparing all these issues against the benefits in society would be very interesting.

The developed countries have a different approach to the societies - people are healthy mentally and they have less problems.
In other side of the world. People are stressed because they have to struggle for food and basic needs. But gambling also brings more trouble than joys. That is my observations.

We can make peace with them because we respect each other's beliefs. I also have friends like that. They do not interfere when we play gambling and choose to go to their home. And the next day, we chatted as usual and nothing happened between us.

We just leave them like that because of their religion's prohibition and we must not invite them to follow what we do. With a mutual understanding between us, surely we will not fight each other because we already know that we have different habits that we can not force on them.

Gambling is interesting to explore from the point of view of economics, law, sociology, mathematics and many other sciences.  

At the same time, from the point of view of mathematics, the main scientific research has already been carried out.  Blaise Pascal did it.  

On the topic "Gambling in countries with different legal regimes (from democracy to totalitarianism)" you can write an interesting dissertation.  Does the level of democracy in a country affect the number of people who gamble?  This is a very interesting question.  

Gambling is also interesting to study from a medical point of view.  

You can write a dissertation on the topic - "The effect of gambling on the stress level of gamblers?".  Many forum users write that they play for the sake of interest?  This is true?  Gambling relaxes them and helps to relieve the stress accumulated during the work week?  Or not?

I don't know how people manage gambling after such horrible inflation. We are unable to pay our bills and it is hard to make both ends meet. The thesis should have a new point included - inflation and gambling. How to manage gambling during inflation. Because a common man won't be able to gamble.

Another question arises seeing your question above. How to manage livelihood during inflation? If you remember, during the COVID-19 and even now after the huge inflation in the market, those who earn an average daily, find it hard to complete their day as they run out of money to manage their expenses with their small earnings.

Answer to your question. If there is an answer to your question, yes, even a common man who really peacefully run their life now, will get diverted and join all others who are addicted and lost their family.

In theory any amount of money that you gamble should be money that you can afford to lose, which means that even with the high inflation we are experimenting and the collapse we are seeing at all the different markets around the world at the same time if you earn more than enough money each month then you can still fulfill all your needs, while at the same time you will still have some money to spare and you can keep gambling, however this is only possible for those which earn a big enough salary, as there are many people which will have to reduce or even eliminate gambling from their hobbies until they have some money to spare yet again.

Gambling isnt necessary because if people would really be seeking out for some leisure then we do have several activities  which could really make us entertain.Its not necessary for us to gamble but
well there are people who do find out betting with real money is something interesting compared to those which arent thats why they do really end up with this kind of option.
If you do only earn sufficient for your daily needs then its really dumb that you would consider  on playing gambling since you know that you would really be spending some funds.
As speaking with thesis in gambling then this is a wide scope of topic which needs to be defended wisely.

Of course gambling is not essential. I don't think it's right for people who don't have much money to gambling. But for people with money, it's a hobby. Everyone spends money on things they enjoy doing. This is nature's law. That's why we shouldn't look down on gamblers.

If those who have money will consider gambling as a hobby, I think they will regret it especially if they often lose from gambling. Gambling is not a hobby that can be done by people because there is a loss factor that can make them lose everything in the end. Maybe if later there was a thesis issued by an educational institution about how dangerous gambling is to people, it would help them to think twice if they wanted to gamble.

I think those gamblers who have a lot of money will never regret when they lose because they realize that gambling is only for entertainment, so when people do research on gambling, they should be able to find sources with very large amounts because of the principle of rich people and people who don't having a lot of money will be different.

I think those who get into gambling - do not read any thesis. Likewise those who quit gambling doesnt do it after reading any research.
It's the person own will to gamble or not to gamble. The thesis won't be much helpful.

I think this is a subjective matter. There are already articles and blogs about first hand experience on gambling that tackles its negative side. Most people are aware of it. For sure some managed to stumble and read upon several articles and confessions about the disadvantages and bad sides of gambling. However, people still choose to gamble.

If a person decides to engage in gambling, it's already their responsibility. The moment they enter, they knew what is waiting for them. Because in gambling, there are only two possible options which are to win or to lose. If a person have that much to spare to risk and makes it as a hobby, then good for him as long as he know his boundaries in playing so he won't lose everything in the process.

I have researched the last year for online gambling players, some of my friends do it almost every day all the time as long as there is still money in their account.  this is bad, addiction is the most vulnerable thing in humans be it old or adult.  This level of addiction disorder is based on curiosity and the desire to get the jackpot.  in the end their lives are disturbed mentally and materially.  irritability, despair are symptoms that occur in almost every player who wants to earn big money by instant means.  the point: play at leisure and use wisdom when it's time to stop and when it's time to play.

Im not looking down on them or to those people who are poor or do only have sufficient income to raise themselves and survive on daily living.It was never been sensible for you to
spend up lots on something which you do know that it could really make your hard earned money vanished into thin air.Yes, its a hobby but on the sense that you should only
spent on the amounts which you can afford to lose and dont go overboard or else you would really be having big problems once you do make yourself get addicted.
For the topic its not bad on making gambling to be your thesis but rest assured this would be a vast topic to have.

The problems that gambling poses are generally the same, but it would be very different if they weren't gambling for money. I guess if your friend had never chased wins and covered losses before then it wouldn't have caused any more annoying problems.

Most people "probably myself included" don't fully enjoy the game because they are so tempted by winning and money. Obviously this will cause problems in the end if it turns out that we can't come out with a win. At least don't bet for money, it will be bad for finance and psychology.

Indeed because they still have a lot of money to spend on gambling. So even though their defeat is big for us, it's not necessarily big for them. So there will be no problem if they decide to continue gambling. If we have information sources from very rich people who use their money to gamble, then it will really help us understand why they gamble and why. And for comparison, we can take samples of people who are used to gambling and people who gamble less often.

People can read articles and blogs about gambling, the risks, and what will happen to them in the short and long term. But I guess some of them are still going to gamble and as you said, they are aware of it but are doing it anyway.

Only a few people can be responsible as long as they play gambling, while the rest continue to play gambling without knowing or understanding the risks they will get after gambling. That's why we have to think about the risks we will take and never cross the boundaries we have made.

Everything that represents gambling or trading in the media is bad, the reason is simple, they cannot recommend people to play because they consider it a means to lose a lot of money, where nothing is certain, the safest thing is to lose and that it is something that they do not dare to affirm, in addition there is a common thought in many people, which is that they play in casinos to win a lot of money, easy money, and things are not like that either, easy money is a path that few have left well rid, and mostly because they tend to have very good luck.

A thesis on gambling is possible, but it is an option because it can be difficult to find good variables to do research in certain states that do not legalize gambling. I don't even think it would be possible to do it in my country as the main issue is legality although we can actually do online based research.

But here I might be able to think of something about a non-formal, unrelated study of any college on the effects and problems of gambling on some respondents. As hard as it is, I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who are gamblers regardless of what game they like. Of course this can be done, but in the end I think the results of the study may not be as accurate as expected.

That is the wrong mindset about gambling, I am sure they will get more trouble than expected profit.

Different regions have different mindsets about gambling. Those who gamble have no regrets and those who do not have no regret either.
A thesis maybe for some readers but it is not for those who want to quit gambling - or who want to start gambling.

It depends on the content of the thesis. It could be informative or investigative. It's also how readers would digest the thesis. It could contain research on the possible effects of gambling or how the gamblers win, they could actually pick a theme based on their interest. Yes, each country has their own perspective about gambling but that's actually what makes a thesis more interesting, it contains differences.

Whenever you write a thesis, it's usually in the favor of the subject matter. It's not common to write thesis telling the disadvantages and drawbacks of gambling.
Anyways, is there any thesis on luck? Since gambling is only luck based, i don't think a thesis may help you win in gambling. And also, gambling is for those who have money to lose, so if you do not have extra money, stay away from gambling.

it depends the kind of gambling in questions. Gambling is gambling in any region you are, except their is a particular game they played for that particular regions. But i know quite well that casino game, poker game, soccer game is general game which you can play it irrespective the environment you found yourself. Secondly i can agree with you assuming you said that we play a game base on the game we know perfectly or some people played game because of individual interest of gaming, it's very simple and understandable.

At the end of the day people have the freedom to use their money as they like, as long as you can cover your basic necessities and those of your family as well then the rest of your money can be used on whatever you like, if someone decides to use some of that money to gamble I do not see anything wrong with it, now it is true there are people which cannot deal with it and end up losing way more money than that and suffer long term negative consequences due to their lack of restrain, but fortunately their number is on the low side.

That is correct people have all the liberty to do what they want to do and how they want to spend their money. But then again sometime a little piece of good advice can help change the attitude and can bring in good change change in the financial habits of the people.

I don't know too if there are any thesis about luck but if ever there's nothing then maybe it is already included in gambling? Since luck can be involved in gambling too but other than luck, a skill will be possible as well depending on the type of game that you will choose to play.

You said that a thesis are mostly about advantage or positive statements only? Then maybe a writer can include tips and strategies on how to win in gambling in their thesis. Gambling is for everyone and not only for the people that has a money or lots of it and is willing to lose because there are demo games or some sites allow you to play without placing any bets.

Maybe the thesis could be in the form of probability of the winning on the gambling and will be more focused on mathematics by using various formulas as a reference. I also do not know how the writer will do the thesis because it will depend on the ideas of the thesis writer. It could be that in the middle of the journey of doing a thesis, the writer can get more ideas that develop from what he observes.

Actually, there are many students who are psychology students who make gambling and the behavior of the players their thesis because if they learn about tricks or winning opportunities through mathematical calculations, it's the same as wanting to make people play with the tricks they find :D

Gambling is something that cannot be eliminated, so making the behavior of the players a thesis material is a good opportunity for students who want to graduate.

Not all degree will allow you to make a thesis about gambling stuff especially your degree has nothing to do about it. If you're an IT, economic and law degree, then it's possible you create a thesis about gambling. However it also depends on where you live, if you live in where gambling are prohibited, then your thesis will got auto rejected.

that is one of the things that makes gamblers lose game. As a gambler is very important to read the rules and regulation of the site before depositing your funds so I would not blame some website that when people disobey their rules and regulations they are funds will be seized and they will start complaining or since the fund because they violated the other all the rules and regulation of the group so it is nice and the important to read the rules first.

You can make a thesis about literally anything as long as its on topic with what you are studying, even if it is a bit abstract. For example, if you are studying mathematics and statistics, you can easily make a thesis about some niche probabilities of some area of gambling. If you study medicine you can make a thesis about the physical health effects that gamblers can have.

I bet you could even write a thesis on the physics of dice, if you really wanted to be that boring.

But then again, unless its a bachelor thesis, I doubt anyone would spend their time on something so boring when there are better things to write about...

when you talk of thesis with degree you know quite well that is not all discipline that I accept gambling so accept all this educational involvement of causes that they can except taxes in gambling and then I agree with you God's own countries or environment we live does not compromise except gambling so with that you find it very difficult to make your thesis report

I have done gambling on a site and I see that they have described the site effects of gambling. If I lost more, they would ask me something. For example, am I addicted or should I abstain from this or is it better to abstain for a few days etc. My question is that since gambling can now be said to be becoming an industry in some countries. Although in many countries it is now illegal. As the day goes on, its scope is getting bigger, in which case, there may be a thesis about it. After all, I haven't done any thesis on this subject or seen anyone directly, but I guess someone can do it.

If the psychology students can use gambling as the subject of their thesis and not as a way to make money, they will be fine and can continue with the thesis. But they can also be trapped in gambling because we know that gambling is very tempting for users to return to gambling and spend more money. But they can prevent becoming addicted as long as they are not tempted and can control themselves and only make gambling a thesis material.

I really know what a challenging thesis is, going to do something that is as difficult as a game thesis, particularly I have experience with my university thesis because I got into a subject that no one had ever gotten into, and it was the part of electromagnetics, where the teachers told me or warned me not to do it because it was going to last about 5 more years doing it, the reason was because nobody had messed with it, nobody had the experience, however I ignored it and I was able to do it in less than 1 month, so I say that by doing something so complicated I think that in the game it has the same level of complexity, but if someone sticks to studying thoroughly they will find tricks and ways to minimize at least the probability of losing so much, I think that Everything is possible in life as long as there is life.

I think the topic of such a dissertation would be very broad. If only because of the enormous amount of statistical research that needs to be done. Statistics is not an easy way to write a dissertation, one of the most difficult assignments that many people face. You can make a lot of mistakes or just get tangled up in endless numbers. When my brother was writing his dissertation, he had a huge statistical project that took up most of his work. But he found experts who helped him https://www.bestdissertation.com/services/stat-project.html (https://www.bestdissertation.com/services/stat-project.html) .
I think statistics will also take up no small percentage of the work in this topic. In order not to fail, I would advise you to do as my brother did - go to experts who have been working on such projects for years.

I also understand the point under which you say that it depends on the game, there are many who make sports bets and by pure logic it is more likely that they will win, since then the chances of winning increase, when we play any game in a casino, for example the slots it is known that the casino will always have the advantage, the house has the advantage, then we are already more subject to "luck" and "random" this is something that we must take into account, of course there are other games that reduce the possibility of losing that is poker, especially when it is in tournaments when they play PVP, so if it is that way, I see that it depends on the type of game.

The difference between betting and casinos is that in the casino the house edge is always known (there are exact numbers for each game), while for betting each event is unique and the player's analysis can be stronger than the bookmaker's analysis. The problem is that the bookmaker’s advantage exist also in betting (it gives reduced odds), so to be in the black you must not only be stronger than the bookmaker, but much stronger. At a distance it is very difficult.

Well seo is a way of seeing what can happen, but honestly when a thesis is done it is to find the solution to a big problem and here in this gambling there are no problems, there is only the desire to want to win and have profits in money, very few people see casinos as a means of distraction, to have a different time and to forget about day-to-day life or worries.

If the thesis were focused on the solutions that people who fall into addiction problems can take, where it often leads to death, it would be ideal, but the truth is that I have not come across a thesis of that style. This would be one of the best options and I think it would be very interesting, because I think it would have the participation of many professionals, doctors, psychologists, players, among others.

The luck and randomness factors which we are taking into consideration when playing slot games have a much higher incentive than when we bet on sport betting.When we bet on some sport betting events chances that we hit x10000 to x30000 of our bet are almost 0 in terms of percentage to achieve that,while in the slot machine we are playing in our gambling session to get that highest winning payline and chances here are somewhat better than in sport betting to get that top payline.

So any slot player already knows that they are depending on pure luck when playing slots but they do so because they hope that luck will favor them at least one time with that highest winning payline.

Thesis on gambling can be done in all discipline the key factor is finding how it help tackle gambling addiction as it is more of a global concern therefore will fit into any discipline at all .  I don't think any country will reject  thesis on gambling no matter how strict their laws are on gambling because it is done as a research that will give even a better conclusion on how to handle gambling in their locality.

yes, it's true that slot machine gambling has an advantage in terms of very high incentives, maybe because of this, slot machines are becoming more trending at this time compared to other gambling. especially slot machines offer a lot of games with a very wide variety of choices if one is lucky one can get maxwin according to the stakes. However, I prefer soccer gambling, even though the incentives are not as big as slot machines, but I can start by analyzing each team one by one to minimize losses. yes all bets I think have their own uniqueness and after all the luck factor is very decisive in gambling

It's actually a good thesis topic but you have to be well prepared to defend it. Studies about gambling and gambling addiction would sound new in universities and colleges because it's too broad. It will take a lot of time to research and do a series of studies but it will surely be an interesting thesis.

Yes, in fact I was a player who liked poker a lot, I still love it, but since I started playing more slots as a measure to de-stress, I like it a lot, especially when new games come out, new slots, in the case of bitcasino.io and stake.com they have a great variety of slots and they care about adding more every week this is something that slots fans love it is a paradise and from there I also think that at some point the player clings to that moment of very good luck that comes while you play so that you have a very large win, it has happened to many. I have seen how in threads of those casinos they publish the millionaire winnings of some players, it is something that can be very inspiring.

I think only a few people started gambling as research material and this gambling is digital gambling based on cryptocurrency, it is a bit taboo because some people think it might not give an idea of future developments that refer to technology so that it is suitable as research material as users who sometimes can make the mental state worse in gambling or when winning at gambling venues.

Maybe theses about gambling in a country where gambling is banned could still be banned because to get the data, thesis writers have to interact directly in casinos, be it legal or illegal and distribute questionnaires to volunteers. And if the country prohibits gambling, then it is difficult to continue unless there is a permit from the local government. But still difficult to get the data. Maybe it would be interesting to write a thesis but it depends on the state of the country, whether to allow gambling or not.

I think gambling can be one of the main topics to be researched by sociologists to look through addictions. As a sociology graduate I would say: hell yea! I think people should research what makes people love gambling. Not about negative sides. That's already researched many times. But researching through rewards and escapist mechanics of it. Inner economy of some games are really important understand how human mind reacts to gambling.

Yes, the truth to be able to prove a thesis that has to do with games of chance is very ambiguous, because obviously a thesis about this is to be closer to being rich and to be able to beat a casino in some way and this is something really difficult , and I think that in some cases it is impossible, for this reason it turns out to be very good, because the statistics for some games can be more accurate, perhaps in sports betting they can make a difference because they have to be taken into account There are some studies that are really conformable, but even so, the percentage of alettorieage is very large.

Hi there,

I'm the author of one of the theses in discussion. I have to say that some of the comments here are incredibly judgmental and mean-spirited without having read a single line of my thesis (or the others). In it I constructed a structural equation model of people's experience with loot boxes using primary data. The variables I chose for this model were informed by Kant's theory to later have measurable results, which his theory could be applied to. I did so because loot boxes are often called unethical by merit of common sense. However, the argument is oftentimes weak and does not really explain the underlying psychology and why they are unethical.

I also have to disagree that the issue is legally solved: Belgium hasn't actually enforced its progressive ban. UK, Netherlands, Germany, Brazil, US have dialed back their efforts in pursuing regulation. It is solely relied upon the self-regulation of the industry. Easy to see how this will turn out.

If you ever back up your brash claims and do research yourself, I hope that you have more luck than me and do not have to witness your hard work be shit upon on the internet.
