GAMBLING: IT’S A LOSING BET (3 PART SERIES, ALSO AVAILABLE INDIVIDUALLY)
Compulsive gambling affects more than one million young people between the ages of 12 and 18. School problems, suicide, violence, broken families, and financial ruin are among the outcomes of this growing problem spotlighted in this realistic, compelling series.

GAMBLING (Seekers II)
This program is from the new SEEKERS II Series for, by, and about aboriginal youth, their concerns, problems and potential. The definition of "gambling" is the act of risking money, property or something of value in an activity with an uncertain outcome. The key word is risk. If you risk something of value, you may be gambling with your life or the life of others. If you go against what you feel is right, you may be gambling with your morals. If you go against your parents or a partner or a friend, you may be gambling with their trust. And if you put your money up in hopes of winning more, you may be gambling with your livelihood. This program explores these different aspects of gambling in an attempt to answer why people take such risks. 24 minutes

Please help me complete my Internet gambling online survey research by clicking this link Click Here to take survey
Thank you
As a member of the Society for the Study of Gambling and a PhD student at Swansea Metropolitan University, my research is seeking effective responsible gambling features in cyberspace. The emergence of Internet gambling has been one of the most significant and controversial developments in gambling over the past two decades, however little is known about this sector and its social and economic impacts. This study seeks to investigate the system of checks and balances to prevent problems from arising and to explore the responsible gambling environment which should promote integrity, ethical values and competence. The survey is live between 1 February to 1 July 2009. The research forms the basis for a PhD study and will be published by the University of Wales. I am self-funding and independent of operators, support services and charitable contributions.
My survey has gone live today and I would be very grateful if you would become involved.
