What does a problem gambler look like?

Contrary to popular belief, the problem gambler doss not typically look like a reckless young hustler or the long-time loser viewers would often see in films. According to the Problem Gambler Help Network of West Virginia, the most common profile for a compulsive gambler is a middle-aged woman in a high-stress service industry such as social work or health care. Many of them work in casinos themselves. Since 2000, the non-profit group has compiled data on callers to its gambling help line and has created a profile from those statistics.

Right2Bet Seeks to Overturn EU Policy With Nakedness

If there is one thing that has proven to sell time and again, it's sex. And not even just "sex" in terms of the "act" is the only strong seller. Sex as gender sells like hotcakes too.

Face it guys - heterosexual guys that is - you know it's hard to resist clicking on an image of a pretty woman showing up in the search results - even if you weren't searching for an image of a pretty woman to begin with! Perhaps this is why Right2Bet has launched a campaign to drum up support for European online gambling regulation by, well, showcasing pretty women and their pretty body parts. The Get Naked campaign consists of both land-based and viral marketing tactics so as to capture 1,000,000 signatures in support of overturning current EU rulings that ...
