HW2: Inside the Gambler's Mind

In life there's always a reason why do we get attached to something. And I wonder why some people attached to gambling. If there are some tactics they put on casino so that people may attached to it and become addicted to it.

But every Gambler has a different reason why they get addicted in gambling. Maybe because they want to get the jackpot price so they just keep on betting and trusting their own luck. But did they ever think that when they bet they might lose all their money.

While I was surfing the net I came across an article that talks about Why do people become addicted to Gambling the author states the different reasons why people become addicted to gambling. The author gives 4 reasons these are; The Illusion of being able to control chance, The lure of the Jackpot, Gambling Fever, The belief their luck will change. 

The author gives the exact reason why do people become addicted to gambling. And the casino's or other gambling event will use these idea for them to gain more subscribers or for the gamblers to patronize them.

HW1: Background of Survey

After weeks of researching about Gambling, I learned different things about gambling. Like the different types of gamblers, the good and bad effect of it. And why some people look at it as a bad habit. But there are some questions on my mind that haven't answered yet.

To be able to come-up with my research paper I need to survey some questions to know the different opinions of other people. And I prepare some survey questions to be answered.

My survey would be answer by different kind of person in the society, it is good to know their age and gender.Next I would like to ask them what is their stand in gambling, if they are pro or anti. And then, if they are Gamblers or if they have friends who are engaged in gambling addiction and how many of them. I would also want to know if they believed that there's a cheat in gambling. And if they have plans to stop from being Compulsive Gamblers.  I also need to know what are the different games in Gambling, and what particular game they are addicted to. From being a Compulsive Gambler, I would also want to know if they encountered some problems caused by Gambling, and what are those problems. And I would like them to give some advice or suggestion to the Compulsive Gamblers. And Lastly, I would like to know if they think that Filipinos are more prone to Gambling Addiction rather than other nationality, and why do they think if they're answer is yes or no.

This survey will be answer by different people in the society, to know their stand in Gambling, And to know if majority of them are male or female. Also to know their age. If this survey will be given to them, I think most of their answers would be the same. And I think that most of them will have a lot of answer in the question, What are the different Gambling event/games here in the Philippines?
