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.

The science of gambling addiction might be summarized by Gollum diving into a volcano after the one ring (his precious) in LOTR. Emotions associated with material gain and greed. Override rational cognition.

The high profit potential of gambling being only a click away can have a powerful negative influence on rational thought. It meshes with the instant gratification culture of short term gains which many today subscribe to.

A person could conceivably earn $50,000+ through gambling. By simply clicking on an interface. That idea has a lot of gravity to it. Especially to those who lack belief in themselves earning success through other means.

Would you ever consider doing your research in Gambling?

I'll go for it if there is an amount involved even close to that 4000 Euro, it's not easy work but we have a lot of resources available like Google, gamblers, doctors, professionals, and thesis reviewers, but if it's a competition on thesis about gambling with that huge prize your chances is 50/50, thesis is not like an article, you have explored everything and it should be

My college days are sadly long over but if I were still I school I would certainly consider doing a research paper on gambling as there’s so many different aspects that you can look at such as OCD, addiction, etc. I guess of course it also depends on what type of class you’re taking and doing the paper in. Say you’re doing it in a psychology class I think there’s so many cool angles you could study it.

4000€ is such a huge amount those students must be that good to get the nod of the judges and be awarded this huge prize
I would consider doing a thesis in gambling because

1. I'm a player myself
2. I have friends who used to be hooked on gambling to interview
3. I am active in the gambling section of Bitcointalk
4. The prize is such a huge motivation that I can go an extra mile just to get the prize.

The gambling thesis involves a lot of information and should cover everything from the industry to players and mental health.

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.

Psychology students are finding your location LOL. Gambling is an "activity" and therefore there can be tons of fields of studies that can use this as a research topic. These includes gamblers' mentality, addiction, or even the gambling system itself. Psychology research are indeed tough since you are more onto Qualitative approach that relies more on behavioral study or case studies while the mathematical approach can be done even without observing people for countless of hours just for a single line of proof. Moreover, case studies/ behavioral studies doesn't always conclude to an answer, but rather a data to be used for a future reference, hence never been a garbage.

If I were to create one, despite of my knowledge in programming and math, I'd rather be focusing on the gamblers' behavior as such findings are way more helpful than creating a gambling system that already had been made by tons of people.

Excellent data that can be used in any way, but it does not give any real answer. Yep, not trash. To be honest, I don’t care about the opinion of students (and even professors) of psychologists, since you probably already guessed how I evaluate the value of their “activities”. If we take two psychology students and try to get an answer from them, we will get three opinions, hahahaha.

Even if an OP does a thesis - that is not going to make any difference only maybe people reading it and making good references to support from their thesis.

Every research makes a difference. It might not be immediate but as long as it is thorough and adds to the body of knowledge it makes a difference. To buttress my point, the op's research findings may even bring out a unique perspective on the issue of gambling that may never have been discovered.

Quote

Those who are gambling addicted might not leave gambling at any cost. And those who do not want to get themselves indulged in gambling would not want to do it at any cost. Gambling is a trouble if not done with wisdom.

The summary of the research findings is not to make gambling addicts quit at any cost rather it is to help policy makers formulate policies, make laws that will bring about regulation, creation of new facilities to help folks quit and generally ensure that gambling addition doesn't become an epidemic.

If you’re a curious one and finding for the answer, you can really have this kind of topic but of course you must be on a legal age so you can get datas that you may needed in order for you to accomplish this topic. This is an interesting one, you just need to know the scope of your study to lessen the respondents. Doing your Thesis is one of the big challenges in your student career, if the University acknowledge it and even give you a reward, most probably you really down a great job.

^ Definitely right, I remember before when I was in college solving a thesis is really hard, it needs your full time and focuses on it so that you can defend your thesis and I think it is very hard if it is a thesis in gambling. You must know the fundamentals to the technical function of the gambling casino and it should be there is a lot of research that you must do. The 2500 euro seems quite big and probably that will push me to finish the thesis earlier than the expected date.

Wow, if there is a good prize waiting for it, why not? But let's admit that making a thesis and gathering all the valuable information related to that is definitely not an easy task to do. You can't just simply put them into wring without doing some vivid research from all those reliable resources. And we should always be specific and create a clear details on it, so that the mentors that will be judging the contents of the thesis will approve it. And lastly, as there have been a lot of studies in gambling before, then we should always come up with the latest principles and facts about gambling that made our studies look original and unique as compared to the previous thesis in gambling.

For € 2,500 why not?

Because you are going to spend years doing the thesis and if you count the total hours you spend on it, the average would not be even €1 per hour. If you include expenses that you necessarily have to make, financially it is a ruin.

Spending years? OMG that's too long. I think it is only possible if you are lazy and if you are not smart at all. Things will work slower for you but if you love what you are doing you wouldn't mind the time and the effort that you have spent.

It is still better to work passionately and with full interest in the job because you will not rush things as you are going to make sure that what you write are good quality, unlike to those who will try to create a thesis only because there is a reward waiting for them. They will try to rush things because they are too excited to grab the money but in the end, their work wont still be acceptable by the judges because they write it poorly.

If you have experience in doing a thesis and you already created a good thesis in the past, (I guess we all are ) you will not even spend years doing that, and because there's a prize attached to it you will see to it that it's a good one by and you will ask a source or someone who already become a judge if your thesis is good enough to pass the criteria, if the prize is that high you should see to it that it pass the criteria of the judges.

Doing thesis isnt something simple that you could just make out some simple research and drawn conclusions to that because you would really be needing to back up those claims and conclusions which to
think that you would need to defend it.

If you are that confident and believe that you do know all about the subject or making yourself fully prepared then i dont see something wrong with this.It all matters indeed with the
criteria and jurisdiction of panels about on the said topic.

As long as we regard loot box buyers as healthy adults who decide how they spend their money, loot boxes are completely ethical. Is not it? I know people who spent about three monthly salaries on games (on a mobile phone) (I say this to understand the scale, since prices are different in different countries) and this was without any loot boxes. I think if they are happy with the purchase, then why not? It is their right to make such spending and the right of developers to come up with different ways to monetize.

Dont know on why people do really love to blame up things which the things had been happening can really be blamed towards their actions.If they do really spend up their money on that way then its not really

our business but there are really people who are really that mindful towards other actions and things that had been done without even trying to realize that its their god damn right on how
they would really be using their money.Its none of our business if they would really be messing out their lives because of it.

I like this variation the most: The buyer is happy with the purchase, but some outside clown insists that the purchase is bad and the buyer has suffered Grin

I wonder where these people come from who know better than other people what is good and bad for them and "how to live"? It looks like a real mental disorder.

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.

At one time, Blaise Pascal, studying gambling with dice, discovered the laws of the mathematical theory of probability.

Since Blaise Pascal had phenomenal mathematical abilities, friends constantly consulted with him - which combination of dice falls out more often and which less often.

Pascal became interested in this issue and created the mathematical theory of probability. I am also thinking about writing a dissertation on the theory of gambling. But I'm not interested in the ethical issues of the game. Although I am well acquainted with the philosophical works of Immanuel Kant.

I want to explore the relationship between mathematical probability theory and modern quantum physics (in relation to gambling).

I am sure people have done quite a number of reserch papers on the topic, from a socio perspective, a psychology perspective, math...there are so many angles to approach this, this is a great topic and would be great for anyone that wants to do a deeper dive. Actually, it would be even interesting to read all those papers.

I'm done doing with research papers.

I'm into reading them if they are truly interesting. But I don't think that I can make one just like that. Maybe just for short researches when I'm curious into something that I'm in need to know as quick as it can be.

Well, many researches that I've read is always having the same description about an addicted person in gambling as it relates to mental health. And having that reward as you make your final requirement through a research, well, who doesn't like that.

A recognize is more than enough and with a monetary prize is a bonus.

If maybe this course is related to gambling or psychology then yes you might be doing a thesis related to gambling but other than that, no because it's going to be an off-topic but i think having an ocd still relates to mental disorder and the people who are addicted to gambling might have an ocd because they keep on doing the same thing again and again so therefore the treatment for them can also be the same.

Addicted gamblers are not uncertain but they certain or predictable in other words. The students must have wrote an exceptional thesis and that is why they are being rewarded by cash. It's a win-win situation for them because they likely get a good grades too.

If the gambling is applicable with my course, why not? But it seems that it is most likely for psychology students who are doing their undergrad or post-grad papers since the gambling or gambling addiction is more connected to mental health issue. It is just a surprise that he gets money from his research.

Maybe there's a new thing added on his research that can be helpful in science, they will not give him a money for nothing. I believe that gambling addiction is one of the cases related to Psychological problems it like spending too much and being reckless. It becomes the result of us wanting something that we cannot get and we got severely frustrated and sometimes people gamble to ease their mind.

The amount of information gathered on this thesis subject will be gold to new and old gambling running sites. They could boost the players count and even make initiatives on people to gamble, I've never knew such thesis exist and got paid, maybe they were funded by gambling tycoon sites or if not by the government to lessen the gambling addicts in their society. However the government is earning money from gambling sites, just in our country the government is getting millions of dollars out of cockfighting online, just how big the money is really.
