The dynamic discussions which took place at the Colloquium on the Economic Aspects of Gambling Regulation: EU and US Perspectives, hosted by Tilburg University, are reflected in this book. It brings together a wide range of perspectives from the contemporary debate surrounding the regulation of gambling from within the context both of the EU and the USA. Not only does the book encompass both ends of the spectrum of the current discussion; it also brings together the perspectives of academics, lawyers and operators. Debates surrounding the regulation of gambling have been increasing in terms of frequency and ferocity, at the national, European and international levels. Within the Member States of the European Union there has been considerable debate as to the appropriate method of regulating gambling, in particular with a view to securing revenue streams for good causes. Concurrently, infringement proceedings of the European Commission and the case-law of the European Court of Justice have the potential to disrupt chosen regulatory approaches and thus long established revenue flows. This is but one of the economic aspects to the regulation of gambling which to date has not been explored within Europe to the extent seen in the United States. Lessons which European jurisdictions can learn from American experiences in this field, and discussions on the state-of-the-art of gambling economics in Europe today, form the basis of this dynamic book.

The world of gambling on sports is a controversial and provocative place. Author Oliver Jones has written a neat book entitled SPORT GAMBLING 101. It is an educational, tell-it-like-it-is work of research. What to do, how and where to do it, and what not to do, are fully described in this user-friendly reference guide. With facts, details, opinions, and anecdotes, its simplicity and honesty make it unique from the competition. This book is written for the novice who wants to learn, the pro who wants to refresh, as well as the addict who needs help and wants to quit. Learn more about the gambling industry and the sportbooks and how they operate. SPORT GAMBLING 101 is a must-read for any gambler, sports fan, or anyone interested (whether one gambles or not). Its chapters include: 1. Why Sports Gamble?, 2. Things You Must Know, 3. How and Where to Sports Gamble, 4. ALL Sports: Football * Basketball * Baseball * Hockey, Nascar * Golf * Boxing * Soccer, 5. General Tips and Strategies, 6. The Cops, The Refs, The Beautiful Women, 7. Be Your Own Bookie, 8. Why Not to Sports Gamble, 9. Terms and Definitions. Oliver Jones grew up playing and watching almost all sports and he witnessed first hand the explosion of TV sports and sport radio as well as the gambling industry. He was inspired to write 'Sport Gambling 101' because, while there is a lot written on the casino games such as Poker or Black Jack, there is very little good writing on sport gambling, in the broader picture. Oliver succeeds in his book in informing the sport gambling public and entertaining the rest of the population. Reading this book will prove the best bet you will ever make!.

Gambling is both a multi-billion-dollar international industry and a ubiquitous social and cultural phenomenon. It is also undergoing significant change, with new products and technologies, regulatory models, changing public attitudes and the sheer scale of the gambling enterprise necessitating innovative and mixed methodologies that are flexible, responsive and ‘agile’. This book seeks to demonstrate that researchers should look beyond the existing disciplinary territory and the dominant paradigm of ‘problem gambling’ in order to follow those changes across territorial, political, technical, regulatory and conceptual boundaries. The book draws on cutting-edge qualitative work in disciplines including geography, organisational studies, sociology, East Asian studies and anthropology to explore the production and consumption of risk, risky places, risk technologies, the gambling industry and connections between gambling and other kinds of speculation such as financial derivatives. In doing so it addresses some of the most important issues in contemporary social science, including: the challenges of studying deterritorialised social phenomena; globalising technologies and local markets; regulation as it operates across local, regional and international scales; and the rise of games, virtual worlds and social media.

He invented gambling. Recent advances in the field, particularly Parrondo's paradox, have triggered a surge of interest in the statistical and mathematical theory behind gambling.

While there has been an unprecedented explosion of legalized gambling in Canada - particularly in the form of casinos and electronic games - the public has become increasingly aware of addictions to gambling. Casino State is a timely collection that examines the controversial role of the state as a promoter of gambling activities often against the best interest of its citizens. Investigating the tensions that arise from the relationships between gambling and morality, risk, social policy, crime, and youth problem gambling, these essays draw upon a range of disciplines to consider the economic benefits and social costs of legalized gambling. A contemporary study that raises important questions about state conduct, precarious policy issues, public health, and addictions, Casino State provides a necessary and comprehensive overview of the central issues related to the legalization and expansion of gambling in Canada.
