Abstract
A brief argumentative paper which presents the views of sports colleges in Nevada wanting to allow for legalized gambling on its campus. The paper shows that even though gambling is legal throughout the State, if legislation comes into effect, it could put an end to gambling on campus all together. The writer examines the pros and cons of such a law.
From the Paper
"In Nevada sports books, gambling on college sports is currently allowed for every team in the nation, except Nevada's own college teams. Legislators have proposed new laws that would outlaw gambling on any college sports. This would affect Nevada's economy in a wide variety of ways.
"For the year 2001, total gaming revenue in the State of Nevada totaled $9,468,598,681. Of that total, "More than one-half of total General Fund [$105.85 million] spending is targeted for education. Of that, $1.2 billion represents the State's General Fund obligation to the Distributive School Account, the funding mechanism through which State monies are distributed to school districts" (Comeaux). The amount budgeted for education in the 2001-2003 biennium is $2,000.3 million dollars, half of which is $1,000,150, which is 10.5 percent of the annual gaming revenue."

Abstract
In this essay, the writer discusses the policy of the BC Government regarding gambling. The writer notes that in some countries gambling is not permitted and that the BC Government has however allowed the gambling pursuit. In this paper the writer examines the policies of the current liberal BC Government and discusses that gambling practices have in fact expanded, in spite of government promises to the contrary.
From the Paper
"Many people object to gambling on the basis that it is immoral, or that it encourages people to develop problem gambling behaviors. Due to this fact, some governments permit gambling and some do not. The BC Government does permit it, but under regulated conditions. The current Liberal BC Government promised not to allow gambling to expand, but as one can see from an examination of its policies, it has allowed gambling to expand, contrary to its promises. The current Liberal BC government campaigned on the issue of gambling, vowing to stop it from expanding further."

Abstract
in this article, the writer examines three major problems connected with online gambling. The writer points out that certain problems such as social isolation may be aggravated by the extensive use of the Internet and explores how internet gambling can, by offering so many alluring opportunities to make money at the click of a mouse, quickly destroy a family or individual financially. Further, the writer looks at how online gambling can produce misery not only for the gamblers, but for innocent victims otherwise untouched by the affliction. The writer concludes that gambling has many victims and many very serious consequences that extend beyond merely losing cash at the online craps table.
From the Paper
"There can scarcely be any doubt that online gambling is an insidious social illness that robs people of their money, sometimes of their liberty, and - on at least a few tragic occasions - of their lives. With this in mind, the next several pages will outline three major problems which accompany online gambling.

Abstract
This considers some of the legal and moral issues of internet gambling. The paper takes a look at whether people have the right to gamble online and whether the government should step in and prohibit gambling on the Internet. The author also examines the moral and ethical concerns of Internet gambling.
From the Paper
"Gambling on the Internet seems to be taking a life of its own. Last year, Internet Gambling alone brought in approximately $600 million. This number is expected to rise to about $955 million for 2001. By the year 2003, over $10 billion will have been gambled online. Internet gambling is a reality. An adult sits at his personal computer, accesses the Internet and engages in an on-line activity that hurts nobody. But the government disapproves of what he is doing and wants to charge him with a crime that carries a fine and a prison sentence. This is the scenario in the U.S. today."
