HAMHALTEROVÁ, Jana
The diploma thesis focuses on the comparison of the origin and course of gambling addiction in video lottery terminal players and bettors. The theoretical part focuses on pathological gambling, types of gambling and the distribution of bettors and players of video lottery terminals, for which sociodemographic data, origin and course are described. The next chapters specify the concepts of treatment, relapse, recurrence, prevention and self-limiting measures. Then, the gambling games that predominate abroad and their preventive measures are compared. In the practical part, attention is paid to the methodology used, results, discussion and conclusion. The aim of the thesis is to describe and compare the origin and course of player dependence between video lottery terminal players and bettors. Following the aim of the thesis, two research questions have been chosen. The first question is, what is the course and origin of gambling addiction among video lottery terminal players? The second question is, what is the course and origin of gamblers' addiction? A qualitative research strategy is used to fulfil the goal. The method is a form of questioning with the technique of semi-structured interview and secondary data analysis. The set of informants consists of 12 players using a purposeful selection in the Prevent 99 Non-Substance Addiction Counselling Centre. It has been found that video lottery terminal players and bettors have similar characteristics of the course of gaming, but a different onset of gambling addiction. The reason may be online gaming. For common characters, there is a reason to replay. Different aspects can be seen in the origin, frequency or length of the overall game. In practice, it may be useful to know these details about groups of players and to work with them accordingly. The diploma thesis will be used for professionals who work or want to work with this target group and also for students.

Gambling in Stock Markets: Empirical Evidence from Europe
Vokatá, Petra ; Novák, Jiří (advisor) ; Jánský, Ivo (referee)
Motivated by the recent evidence of investors' preference for stocks with lottery- type payoffs documented on the U.S. stock markets, I investigate preferences for stocks that appear to be like lotteries in Europe. Across 14 markets, lottery- type stocks, characterized by high idiosyncratic skewness, high idiosyncratic volatility and low price, underperform and exhibit a "lottery premium". Fur- thermore, preferences for lottery-type stocks can help to explain the puzzling negative relation between past idiosyncratic volatility and returns, which does not persist after controlling for past extreme positive returns. Examining the relation between national revenues from gambling and "lottery premium" I find that countries featuring higher gambling revenues also exhibit a higher "lottery premium". Overall, the results indicate that lottery preferences might impact investment decisions and stock prices. JEL Classification G11, G12 Keywords gambling, lottery-type stocks, idiosyncratic volatility, maximum returns Author's e-mail p.vokata@gmail.com Supervisor's e-mail novakji@fsv.cuni.cz
