March madness
The WAGER. Vol. 15(2). (2010).
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. 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. During 2008, the NCAA conducted a subsequent national study of student-athletes. This reviews some preliminary findings of the 2008 NCAA study.

Call for Presentations: Nova Scotia Gaming Corporation Responsible Gambling Conference
NSGC is now accepting proposals outlining presentation topics and conference session suggestions. Each session is approximately 60 minutes, which includes the introduction, presentation and time for questions and answers. Some presentation proposals will become part of a panel session, in which case each speaker will receive approximately 30 minutes to share their content.
The Conference focus is on responsible gambling and social responsibility within the gaming industry or in a broader context.
Presentations and sessions are encouraged to follow an interactive and discussion-based format. Presentations and sessions should provide attendees with information they can leave with and apply to their own work.
Content is broken into two streams: one that is industry-based and focused on responsible gambling and corporate social responsibility, and another that addresses community interests, research, education and prevention.
The overall goal of the two-day event is to ensure that every attendee leaves with new knowledge about responsible gambling and social responsibility within the industry, and beyond.
Deadline for submissions is Friday, March 19th, 2010.
