Ever thought of doing your thesis on Gambling ?

[blockman]

I am not sure if someone does a thesis - how much it will be effective.

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

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.

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] 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] 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.

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

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.

Doing a research is a good idea. If people are interested in reading it.

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).
