Hello

I am a final year university psychology student conducting research into birth order, impulsivity on males who gamble. My survey/questionnaire takes 15 min max and Im lookin for people to participate. If you are able to spare the time I would be very grateful, the link will take you direct to the beggining of my survey;

To take part you need to be male aged 18+.

If you aren't gambling more than you can afford, you are not truly gambling.

Hope this helps.

Try general betting. You may get people more willing to help you there.

Closed the shop xmas eve after 31 years, doing a few bits & pieces 7 will do some boot sales when the weather gets better.

Blimey, didnt know that, tough times mate.

Boot sales are great, used to do them with our stuff, and took a good 150-200 quid for that 4 hours work, all cash of course. Had a best day of nearly 500 once before xmas but that was gettin rid of stuff at cost. Helps, of course, if I dont pay for stock and just what I sell, but thems the breaks.

To be fair, may have to go out there again as earnings look at about 2006 level.

SElf-employment has its ups and its many many downs!

I didn't know 'impulsivity' was a real word until this. Now I know what it means I went for the most spur-of-the-moment wishful thinking answer eg: single late 20s PhD pro-gambler philanthropist and gentleman of leisure.

I didn't get the 'What is your gender: Male/Female' question immediately following the page saying: 'To take part you need to be a male and over 18 years old'

Another suggestion is to review this question: 'Have you ever claimed to be winning money gambling, but weren’t really? In fact you lost?'
The big lie gamblers tell is that they've just about broken even, but in fact lost.

After studying the research I have reached the following conclusion.

The OP will be working in a call centre after graduation.
