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.

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.
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.

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.
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.
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.

According to this article, the Dutch Gambling Authority have awarded 4000€ to students for two Gambling Related thesis.
Quote
Leonard Delank, a master’s student at the University of Groningen and Newcastle University, wrote a paper on loot boxes; items that feature in many video games and offer players a random reward.
In his thesis, Delank drew on the theories of 18th century German philosopher Immanuel Kant, who argued that people have a moral obligation to do the right thing.
Ultimately, he came to the conclusion that loot boxes are not ethical. For his paper, the KSA awarded Delank €2,500


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.

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 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 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.

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?

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.

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.


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.

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.
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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

I think gambling will be connected with the study of sociology, economics, and law

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.

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.

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.
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.

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.
