21.  The 2007 British Gambling Prevalence Survey: Considering Gambling Involvement
  Author: Division on Addictions, Cambridge Health Alliance
  Source: The Wager
  Description:
  Conventional wisdom suggests that specific gambling activities, such as Internet gambling, are especially “addictive.” However, recent research suggests that the relationship between gambling and disordered gambling is more complicated than playing specific types of games. Using a United States youth sample, research suggests that gambling involvement (e.g., the number of games one plays), is a better predictor of disordered gambling than participation in any particular game (Welte, Barnes, Tidwell, & Hoffman, 2009). This week the WAGER reviews a study that further explored this phenomena by examining the association between disordered gambling and gambling involvement within the 2007 British Gambling Prevalence Survey (LaPlante, Nelson, LaBrie, & Shaffer, 2009).

  Description:
  In the summer of 2009 the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) established a Sports Betting Integrity Panel, bringing together experts from the betting industry, the police, players, fans, Sports Governing Bodies, the legal profession and the Gambling Commission, to make recommendations as to the design and implementation of an integrated strategy to uphold integrity in sport and associated betting. One set of the recommendations of the Panel’s report concerned the Commission, building on its existing work, establishing a Sports Betting Intelligence Unit (SBIU). The Commission welcomed this recommendation and the SBIU is operational. This document sets out the terms of reference for the SBIU, based on the recommendations of the Panel.

 
23.  Sports Wagering Policies: European Athletes v. NCAA Athletes
  Author: Division on Addictions, Cambridge Health Alliance

  Description:
  On April 15, 2010, the European Elite Athletes Association, in conjunction with the European Gaming and Betting Association and the European Sports Security Association, announced the development of a sports betting code of conduct and educational campaign for professional athletes ("EU Athletes & European betting industry launch educational campaign to support integrity in sports," 2010). In the U.S., the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has a long-standing policy regarding gambling activities for its student athletes (National Collegiate Athletic Association). This week, the WAGER examines the newly released policy targeting European athletes and the NCAA policy governing sports wagering by student-athletes.

25.  Problem gambling associations: Gambling motivations and perceptions of money-limiting strategies
  Author: Division on Addictions, Cambridge Health Alliance
  Source: The Wager
  Description:
  Research has indicated that electronic gaming machines (EGMs) are associated with higher rates problem gambling (e.g., Breen & Zimmerman, 2002; Cox, Kwong, Michaud, & Enns, 2000). However, new research reveals that this association is not causal. When we take the extent of gambling into account (i.e., involvement), this association disappears (LaPlante, Nelson, LaBrie, & Shaffer, In press; Welte, Barnes, Tidwell, & Hoffman, 2009). Consequently, a growing body of research now indicates that EGMs are not inherently “addictive” (e.g., Blaszczynski, Sharpe, Walker, Shannon, & Coughlan, 2005; Dowling & Thomas, 2005). This week the WAGER reviews a study that considers whether self-reported EGM playing motivations and perceptions of EGM money-limiting strategies might correlate with certain players experiencing gambling problems (Nower & Blaszczynski, 2010).

28.  March Madness
  Author: Division on Addictions, Cambridge Health Alliance
  Source: The Wager
  Description:
  It’s that time of the year again…March Madness. Next to the Super Bowl, this event stimulates the most sports wagering in the U.S. During 2004, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) conducted a national survey of gambling and other high risk behaviors among college athletes, which is described in a number of publications or reports (Ellenbogen, Jacobs, Derevensky, Gupta, & Paskus, 2008; Huang, Jacobs, Derevensky, Gupta, & Paskus, 2007a, 2007b; Petr, Paskus, & Dunkle, 2004). This survey revealed that college athletes (especially males) evidenced sports betting despite the NCAA rules prohibiting student-athletes from wagering on college or professional sports. In response to these results, NCAA president, Myles Brand, commissioned a task force of key figures in college athletics and the gambling research/treatment community to examine the data and recommend a course of action. The resulting recommendations were wide ranging and included various forms of educational outreach. During 2008, the NCAA conducted a subsequent national study of student-athletes. Analyses of these data are underway and the NCAA plan to release an initial report about the study later this year. This week’s WAGER reviews some preliminary findings of the 2008 NCAA study (Paskus, Petr, Vicente, & Derevensky, 2009; Petr et al., 2004).

30.  Disordered Gambling and Meaningful Correlates among Cambodian Refugees
  Author: Division on Addictions, Cambridge Health Alliance
  Source: The Wager
  Description:
  Recent research shows that Cambodian refugees who settled in the United States suffer from disproportionately high rates of trauma (Marshall, Schell, Elliott, Berthold, & Chun, 2005). Other research shows that they also might be more prone to disordered gambling (Petry, Armentano, Kuoch, Norinth, & Smith, 2003). This week the WAGER reviews a study that examines whether socio-demographic variables and trauma are significant correlates of lifetime disordered gambling among a sample of Cambodian refugees (Marshall, Elliott, & Schell, 2009).
