1.  Change Your Gambling, Change Your Life
  Author: Shaffer, Howard; Martin, Ryan; Kleschinsky, John
  Source: Harvard Health Publications
  Description:
  If you or someone you love has a problem with gambling, this research-based guide offers a practical approach to controlling the destructive urge to gamble. Change Your Gambling, Change your Life is an accessible book which explains how gambling problems are related to other underlying issues such as anxiety, mood fluctuation, difficulty with impulse control, and substance abuse problems. With compassion and insight, the authors offer a series of self-tests to help evaluate the degree of the gambling problem and analyze the psychological and social context of the behavior. The book includes a toolbox of easy-to- apply strategies and approaches for ending the impulse to gamble, as well as commonsense advice for avoiding slips and preventing backslides.

 
2.  Slots and shots: Drinking patterns of pathological gamblers before, during, and after treatment
  Author: Division on Addictions, Cambridge Health Alliance
  Source: The Wager
  Description:
  Gambling-related problems often co- occur with other risky behavior patterns, such as excessive alcohol or substance use (Kessler et al., 2008). However, it is unclear whether efforts to address one behavior (e.g., gambling) will also lead to decreases in other problematic behaviors, or, instead, result in addiction-hopping, substituting one excessive behavior for another (Shaffer et al., 2004). This week, the WAGER reviews a study that examined the weekly alcohol use trajectories of treatment-seeking pathological gamblers to understand more fully the drinking patterns in that population (Rash et al., 2011).

 
3.  Riding the sports betting boom
  Author: King, Brendan
  Source: Australian Broadcasting Corporation
  Description:
  Freedom to advertise and the rise of the mobile app has led to a tripling of sports betting in Australia. The winning odds are now front and centre in the coverage of major sports and you can bet on all kinds of 'exotic' options. So what are the odds on a big corruption scandal or a new generation of problem gamblers?

 
4.  Warm Turkey: Considering whether abstinence ought to be the goal of gambling treatment
  Author: Division on Addictions, Cambridge Health Alliance
  Source: The Wager
  Description:
  The goal of most gambling treatment is abstinence from gambling. Though not everyone who engages in treatment achieves this “cold turkey” goal, it is possible that the goal itself deters some individuals from seeking treatment. This week’s WAGER reports results of a study that examined how common abstinence versus controlled gambling are among problem gamblers in recovery (Slutske, Piasecki, Blaszczynski, & Martin, 2010).

 
5.  Betting on the U.S. Market: A Discussion of the Legality of Sports Gaming Businesses
  Author: Light, Glenn; Rutledge, Karl; Singleton, Quinton
  Source: Center for Gaming Research, UNLV
  Description:
  Over time, the US sports gaming industry has progressed dramatically beyond what the US anti- gaming law drafters envisioned. The result is a system of mostly antiquated laws controlling modern industry causing confusion across the board. This discussion, therefore, intends to shed light on the US sports gaming legal framework, including analysis of the preeminent US laws that regulate the sports gaming industry and a brief review of various sports gaming businesses that fall within the US legal rubric.

 
6.  Gambling Spirit
  Author: ABC Radio National
  Source: Australian Broadcasting Corporation
  Description:
  Legislation to limit gambling may be coming for Australia, and most religious groups support the proposed reforms. But gambling and religion have more in common than we might think. Some people seek transcendence via prayer or meditation, others get on the pokies for a fast and heady connection to the Divine.

 
7.  Indicators of betting as primary gambling activity
  Author:
  Source: Gambling Commission [UK]
  Description:
  These indicators are used by the Commission when assessing compliance with Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice (LCCP) at premises where betting is the primary gambling activity offered. The indicators are based on the requirements of LCCP and what is accepted as typical of commercial betting shop provision in the British market.

 
8.  Help!… maybe: Facilitating treatment engagement among helpline callers
  Author: Division on Addictions, Cambridge Health Alliance
  Source: The Wager
  Description:
  Few people who experience gambling problems seek help for those problems (Slutske, 2006). Some of these untreated individuals recover on their own. Others who might benefit from treatment avoid it due to ambivalence or barriers. For this second group, first points of contact might serve as important opportunities to promote treatment engagement. This week, the WAGER reviews a study that investigated factors that predict treatment engagement among individuals calling a gambling problem helpline (Weinstock et al., 2011).

 
9.  Nevada Gaming Licensing: Qualifications, Standards, and Procedures
  Author: Faiss, Robert D.; Gemignani, Gregory R.
  Source: Center for Gaming Research, UNLV
  Description:
  The process of acquiring a Nevada gaming license is long and consists of several procedures. Although the process is time-consuming, it is far from Byzantine or obscure; each step, as defined by statute and precedent, flows logically from the one before. This paper provides an overview of licensing process in Nevada, with additional information on the reasoning behind several of the procedures involved.

 
10.  Impaired decision making among at-risk young gamblers
  Author: Division on Addictions, Cambridge Health Alliance
  Source: The Wager
  Description:
  Researchers are investigating the neurological factors that might play a role in the development of pathological gambling. For example, cognitive deficits, such as dementia and reduced executive functioning are well-known correlates of pathological gambling (PG; Manes, Torralva, Roca, Gleichgerrcht, Bekinschtein, & Hodges, 2011). Grant and colleagues suggested that cognitive deficits create risk because they lead to impaired decision-making, which in turn leads to PG (Grant, Brewer, & Potenza, 2006). Today’s WAGER reviews a study that explores whether young adults with decision-making impairments are also more likely to be at-risk for the development of PG (Grant, Chamberlain, Schreiber, Odlaug, & Kim, 2011).
