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.

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.

Winding down.
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.

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

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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

Quote
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.
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.
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.
