Abstract:

The behavior known as the gambler’s fallacy is exhibited when gamblers increase their wager after a series of losses. The conventional interpretation of this behavior is that, after a series of losses, the gambler views the probability of winning as increasing. However, if the probability is independently and identically distributed (as it normally is), previous losses do not affect the probabilities of subsequent gambles, hence the fallacy.This paper suggests an alternative explanation for the gambler’s fallacy behavior. It holds that the gambler views the probability of a series of (outcomes resulting in) losses as very small. Therefore, from an ex ante perspective, consumers strategize that if they lose, they will increase their wagers because a long series of losses is unlikely. A simulation demonstrates the rationality of the gambler’s fallacy behavior by showing positive winnings when the theoretical expectation is $0.This same behavioral assumption is also behind the St. Petersburg Paradox. The difference is that the low probability of a series motivates people to gamble with the gambler’s fallacy, but motivates people not to gamble with (or more accurately, not pay very much for) the St. Peters Paradox. If anything, the gambler’s fallacy is a fallacy regarding the adequacy of the consumer’s bankroll, rather than a fallacy regarding a change in the probability of winning.

Abstract:

In this qualitative study, 25 females were interviewed who gambled frequently on the Internet. This paper describes the women's views about the Internet as a place to gamble and the associated risks. Volunteers were recruited from a wide range of sources in the UK and included 16 problem gamblers and 9 frequent gamblers. The women identified a number of features of the Internet that made it easy to gamble, such as its accessibility from home, its anonymity, and its privacy. The Internet was seen as less of a male domain and a place where women could learn to gamble. Frequent gamblers saw Internet gambling as a fun and social activity. All women recognised that they were at risk of excessive Internet gambling, and frequent gamblers had developed strategies to reduce these risks. The paper concludes with some measures that could identify and support those at risk.

Abstract:

Previous research suggests that the presence of other gamblers in a gambling venue intensifies individual gambling behavior. To study such potential social facilitation among gamblers, we conduct a large-scale analysis of more than one million gambling sessions using player tracking data of the Norwegian gambling operator Norsk Tipping. In particular, we empirically assess the existence and strength of this facilitation, and how it manifests in differently utilized gambling venues. In our study, we control for (i) each individual's co-gamblers (frequent vs. occasional co-gamblers) and for (ii) the magnitude of individual's social participation (social seeking vs. social avoiding gamblers). We find that gamblers stake more money and play longer sessions the more crowded the venues get and that social avoiding gamblers gamble more when they play with their most-frequent co-gambler. Interestingly, our results strongly indicate that social avoiding gamblers are more susceptible to social facilitation than gamblers who are familiar with crowded gambling venues. Overall, our research is the first large-scale study of social facilitation among gamblers introducing a novel framework to empirically measure this effect. We believe that our work will have important practical implications for both gambling behavior researchers as well as the gambling industry in designing and evaluating responsible gambling tools.

Abstract:

This article proposes a visual gambling scheme, in which the banker encodes several images into random-looking share images that are printed on transparencies and declares the contents of the original images at the same time. Afterwards the gambler chooses a random-looking share image and guesses the content of his chosen share. The result of this gamble can be revealed by physically stacking the gambler's share transparency and a previously public share transparency. If the gambler guesses correctly, he wins and takes all the money, otherwise the banker wins and takes all the money. After the gamble is over, the banker reveals the content of each share image to ensure that the banker is not cheating. The whole process is done with the help of several transparencies on an open table and relies on no computing device. In addition, the scheme provides a brand-new experience for gamblers when compared to the traditional dicing approach, and may gain some popularity in casinos.

Abstract:

The growth of legalized casino gambling in the United States will no doubt spur an increase in the number of gamblers who are required to report their respective winnings annually for federal income tax purposes. Yet, the primary tax concern of many gamblers is “how to deduct losses.” Basically, all gamblers are impacted by I.R.C. § 165(d), which limits gambling loss deductions to gambling gains and effectively disallows carry-backs or carry-forwards of excess gambling losses. But like Joanne Woodward's character in the film “The Three Faces of Eve,” gambling loss deductions possess multiple personalities. If the gambler is a “professional,” his losses are broadly defined and subject to I.R.C. § 165(d) ceiling limit. Conversely, a “casual” gambler's losses are narrowly defined and subject to even more code-imposed ceiling limits. Then again, a “commercial gaming establishment” is apparently not subject these limitations. According to the Commissioner, a professional gambler's “wagering losses” include not only the money wagered, but also many other related expenses incurred in order to enter into a wagering transaction. This can logically occur only when these expenses are capitalized into the wager or bet. However, such capitalization is not currently required under either I.R.C. § 263 or the Indopco decision. In fact, casual gamblers are precluded from capitalizing such related expenses into their wagers. Yet, this prohibition provides no tax benefit to casual gamblers. For, the Commissioner has, on scant authority, disallowed both I.R.C. §§ 212(1) and 183(b) deductions for these related expenses.

Abstract:

BackgroundPathological gambling (PG) is an impulse control disorder characterized by excessive monetary risk seeking in the face of negative consequences. We used tools from the field of behavioral economics to refine our description of risk-taking behavior in pathological gamblers. This theoretical framework allowed us to confront two hypotheses: (1) pathological gamblers distort winning probabilities more than controls; and (2) pathological gamblers merely overweight the whole probability range.MethodEighteen pathological gamblers and 20 matched healthy participants performed a decision-making task involving choices between safe amounts of money and risky gambles. The online adjustment of safe amounts, depending on participants' decisions, allowed us to compute ‘certainty equivalents’ reflecting the subjective probability weight associated with each gamble. The behavioral data were then fitted with a mathematical function known as the ‘probability weighting function’, allowing us to disentangle our two hypotheses.ResultsThe results favored the second hypothesis, suggesting that pathological gamblers' behavior reflects economic preferences globally shifted towards risk, rather than excessively distorted probability weighting. A mathematical parameter (elevation parameter) estimated by our fitting procedure was found to correlate with gambling severity among pathological gamblers, and with gambling affinity among controls.ConclusionsPG is associated with a specific pattern of economic preferences, characterized by a global (i.e. probability independent) shift towards risky options. The observed correlation with gambling severity suggests that the present ‘certainty equivalent’ task may be relevant for clinical use.

Abstract:

Background Change and sustain talks (negative and positive comments) on gambling have been relevant for determining gamblers’ outcomes but they have not been used to clarify the abstinence process in anonymous gambler meetings. Objective The aim of this study was to develop a change talk model for abstinence based on data extracted from web-based anonymous gambler chat meetings by using an automatic change talk classifier. Methods This study used registry data from the internet. The author accessed web-based anonymous gambler chat meetings in Japan and sampled 1.63 million utterances (two-sentence texts) from 267 abstinent gamblers who have remained abstinent for at least three years and 1625 nonabstinent gamblers. The change talk classifier in this study automatically classified gamblers’ utterances into change and sustain talks. Results Abstinent gamblers showed higher proportions of change talks and lower probability of sustain talks compared with nonabstinent gamblers. The change talk model for abstinence, involving change and sustain talks, classified abstinent and nonabstinent gamblers through the use of a support vector machine with a radial basis kernel function. The model also indicated individual evaluation scores for abstinence and the ideal proportion of change talks for all participants according to their previous utterances. Conclusions Abstinence likelihood among gamblers can be increased by providing personalized evaluation values and indicating the optimal proportion of change talks. Moreover, this may help to prevent severe mental, social, and financial problems caused by the gambling disorder.

Abstract:

In 1654, Pascal and Fermar discussed how two gamblers should fairly divide their winnings after a break in play, and they came up with the right answer for the first time. Many gamblers are convinced that luck is always on their side and the odds of victory are always in their hands because gambling that is based on random games does not require too many skills and strategies to gamble based on the gambler's luck and competitiveness. Can gambling activities that draw large numbers of gamblers actually result in a profit? Making a lot of money through sheer luck is a pipe dream, according to the principles of probability that govern random games like winning and losing in gambling. This paper employs a method based on literature reviews to first assess the core of gambling from a probability perspective, then discuss the previous contributions of gambling, and lastly discuss the significance of probability and the future development of gambling.

Abstract:

Several studies have found higher rates of problem gambling among Internet gamblers than non-Internet gamblers. Because of easy access and convenience, along with other gaming characteristics, many researchers in the field have advanced the argument that Internet gambling is potentially more addictive and problematic than land-based gambling activities. However, research examining the efficacy of treatments for problem gamblers who gamble over the Internet has not yet been conducted. The purpose of the present study was to examine the efficacy of group cognitive behavioural therapy for self-identified problem Internet gamblers. Thirty-two participants were randomly assigned to either the treatment group (n = 16) or wait list (delayed treatment) comparison group (n = 16). Results indicated that the treatment was efficacious in improving three of the four dependent variables from pre- to post-test/treatment: number of DSM-IV criteria for pathological gambling endorsed, perception of control over gambling, and number of sessions gambled. No significant pre- to post-test/treatment difference was found between groups on desire to gamble. Groups were combined to examine treatment outcome over time, with results showing significant pre- to post-treatment and pre- to three-month post-treatment improvement for all four dependent variables.

Abstract:

BackgroundIn the Western world, a significant portion of college students have gambled. College gamblers have one of the highest rates of problem gambling. To date, there have been no studies on gambling participation or the rates of problem gambling in India.AimsThis study evaluated the prevalence of gambling participation and problem gambling in college students in India. It also evaluated demographic and psychosocial correlates of gambling in that population.MethodWe surveyed 5784 college students from 58 colleges in the district of Ernakulam, Kerala, India, using cluster random sampling. Students completed questionnaires that addressed gambling, substance use, psychological distress, suicidality and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).ResultsA total of 5580 completed questionnaires were returned, and while only 1090 (19.5%) college students reported having ever gambled, 415 (7.4%) reported problem gambling. Lotteries were the most popular form of gambling. Problem gamblers in comparison with non-gamblers were significantly more likely to be male, have a part-time job, greater academic failures, higher substance use, higher psychological distress scores, higher suicidality and higher ADHD symptom scores. In comparison with non-problem gamblers, problem gamblers were significantly more likely to have greater academic failures, higher psychological distress scores, higher suicidality and higher ADHD symptom scores.ConclusionsThis study, the first to look at the prevalence of gambling in India, found relatively low rates of gambling participation in college students but high rates of problem gambling among those who did gamble. Correlates of gambling were generally similar to those noted in other countries. Since 38% of college students who had gambled had a gambling problem, there is a need for immediate public health measures to raise awareness about gambling, and to prevent and treat problem gambling in this population.

Abstract:

1. Abstract Affective forecasting refers to the process of predicting emotional reactions to future \ . events. Affective forecasting plays an important role in decision making as it informs \ subjective utility, but it is also prone to prediction errors, such as the 'impact bias': a tendency to overestimate the intensity and duration of future emotional reactions. It has been argued that the impact bias can be considered to be evolutionarily adaptive, as it performs a protective function in motivating people to avoid risky behaviour. Problem gambling (PG) is a serious public health problem and yet knowledge about this disorder is still limited. There is evidence to suggest that affective forecasting may be qualitatively different in a risk-taking population such as problem gamblers (PGs). In particular, PGs may fail to show the impact bias, thus helping to explain their persistence in behaviours resulting in losses. This study was the first to examine affective forecasting in PGs. Following an adapted version of a procedure used by Kermer, Driver-Linn, Wilson & Gilbert (2006), PGs (N=25) and matched controls (N=29) were asked to rate their affect currently and to predict how they would feel after completing a simple computerized guessing task. Control participants exaggerated how bad they would feel after losing at the guessing task (i.e., they displayed the impact bias), whereas PGs accurately predicted their emotional reactions. This, and other results, has been discussed within the context of existing theories of gambling addiction and suggestions have been made for future 6 \ research. The thesis concluded that that encouraging PGs to focus on anticipated emotions may be a novel target for existing treatment interventions. 7

Abstract:

Lo studio presenta un analisi dettagliata sul comportamento dei giocatori d'azzardo. I dati sono stati raccolti tramite un esperimento condotto “sul campo” che ha osservato i giocatori durante la loro attività di gioco in un agenzia di scommesse. L'esperimento ha permesso di ottenere il grado di severità del disordine da gioco d’azzardo e i principali tratti comportamentali dei partecipanti. La misurazione di tali tratti ha permesso di comprendere quali tra questi, meglio prediceva l’insorgere del disordine da gioco d’azzardo. La seconda parte del lavoro è stata rivolta a studiare la possibile relazione causale tra attività di gioco e una possibile modifica dei tratti comportamentali. Inoltre la diretta osservazione dei giocatori durante l’attività di gioco ha permesso di avere una traccia dettagliata del loro comportamento di gioco. I risultati sottolineano importanti differenze tra i comportamenti dei giocatori osservati usando procedure sperimentali e i comportamenti osservati durante l’attività di gioco. Nel primo caso non è stato rilevato nessun impatto significativo sulle preferenze individuali dovuto all’attività di gioco. Nel secondo caso, invece, si trova conferma del fenomeno conosciuto come “diminishing sensitivity”. In altre parole, all’aumentare delle perdite subite durante l’attività di gioco aumenta la propensione al rischio dei giocatori.
The thesis presents a lab-in-the-field experiment collecting data on gamblers’ behaviour. The study provides an estimate of the incidence of Problematic Gambling (PG) among the usual customers of a large betting agency in Milan. We elicit in an incentivized manner a large battery of behavioural traits in order to investigate which of them are mostly characterizing PG. Moreover, we investigate a causal relationship between gambling activity and behavioural traits. We also keep detailed track of the gambling activity during the day of the interview to see which are the more interest patterns of the gambling activity. The results underline important differences between real and experimental observation. When we use experimental task to investigate a possible variation in risk preferences due to gambling activity we do not observe any significant impact on risk preferences. When we inspect risk preferences using data coming from the real gambling activity we find evidence of the diminishing sensitivity phenomenon. The more losses they have collected during gambling, the more is the risk that gamblers are likely to take in the subsequent bets. These results indicate that gamblers are not risk-seekers in general, but their risk propensity seems to rise when they are involved in gambling.

Abstract:

he increased availability of gambling opportunities resulting from the progressive liberalisation of the gambling sector coupled with the widespread access to online gambling, is raising concerns regarding adolescents’ participation in gambling and possible increase in problem-gambling. However, the influence of the different gambling products commercialised across countries is less known. This is the first study estimating problem gambling (PG) prevalence and examining the contribution of individual factors and gambling products on gambling engagement and PG development among European adolescents. The study used data from a representative cohort of 16-year-old students (n= 85,000) in 33 European countries participating in the 2019 ESPAD survey. In order to control for self-selection a Heckman probit model is estimated, first controlling for the probability of being gambler and then for the correlated probability of becoming a problem gambler. The influence of individual and country-level factors is estimated on both outcomes, as well as among gamblers using each type of gambling products. Participants who reported stronger family support had lower risk of gambling engagement, whilst friends’ support, lack of school connectedness, low monitoring, higher parental education and access to money increased the risk. At the country-level, the higher diffusion of some gambling products was positively associated with gambling engagement. Once controlling for the influence on gambling engagement, factors that still increase the risk of becoming problem gambler independently from the country of origin were the lack of school connectedness and parental monitoring. Specific gambling products and online games increased PG risk. The influence of such factors on PG development is also analysed among gamblers using each product. Supportive family environments, school connectedness and limited access to money appear to be associated with a lower risk of PG among adolescents. At the country-level, governments should better enforce barriers to underage access to gambling products, particularly online.

Abstract:

AbstractA surprising, yet important, figure exists in the development of democracy in Indonesia, as it emerges from its authoritarian past. This figure is the botoh, who plays a significant role in democratic transition. Its popularity is inseparable from its expertise in mobilizing the masses in local and national political contestations through a system of cultural support networks. The term botoh comes from the Javanese language and carries the meaning of a “gambler” (Diknas, 2002). In earlier times, the term referred to gamblers in cockfighting rings. Over time, botoh has migrated from these traditional gambling arenas into the overtly political arena of village head elections. It began soon after the issuance of new regulations concerning the direct election of village chiefs (Law No. 5 of 1974).

Abstract:

The offence of social parasitism was a typical institution of criminal law in socialist Czechoslovakia. Through its criminal regulation, the obligation to work (one of the characteristics of totalitarian states) was enforced. Social parasitism was committed by those who avoided proper work for a long time and who, at the same time, made a living in a way which was back in the time considered unfair or illegal. Typical perpetrators included prostitutes, property crime offenders, beggars, homeless people, gamblers or, last but not least, people who let someone else support them – typically people who had succumbed to alcohol addiction or newly adult individuals who did not enter the workforce and continued to be supported by their parents. To some extent, the communist regime used social parasitism to bully its opponents, taking advantage of the fact that the state was a de facto monopoly employer and could fire people from their jobs and refuse to employ them for no good reason.
