Ever thought of doing your thesis on Gambling ?

[AicecreaME]

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Would you ever consider doing your research in Gambling?

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.

[jostorres]

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.

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.

[coolcoinz]

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.

[mu_enrico]

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.   

[LUCKMCFLY]

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.

[South Park]

The KSA also gave an honourable mention to Damiaan Reijnaers for his bachelor’s thesis on the use of artificial intelligence in poker.

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.

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.
