Zemanová, Anna ; Petruželka, Benjamin (advisor) ; Vacek, Jaroslav (referee)
Title: Gambling among football fans: a questionnaire study Background: Gambling is perceived as a common leisure activity in our society. However, this pastime has its risks, which affect the individual on an individual, family and societal level. Football and gambling have a common history. However, in general, this topic is not well researched in relation to football fans, which I would like to change by writing this bachelor thesis and contribute to the understanding of the issue Methods and research population. The only method of data collection was an electronic survey. A total of 534 respondents completed the questionnaire. I processed the collected data using descriptive statistics. Results and conclusion: Based on the analysis of the data obtained, it can be concluded that the prevalence of gambling among the football fans who participated in the research is high. At the same time, the results indicate a significant representation of respondents showing symptoms of pathological gambling according to the PGSI and Lie/bet screening questionnaires. Specifically, 215 respondents (44%) fall within some level of risk of pathological gambling, while 270 respondents (56%) are completely outside this risk. The most commonly reported gambling is betting on sports (93%). From these results, I conclude...

Real-Time Prediction of Football Matches Results
Drankou, Aliaksandr ; Bartík, Vladimír (referee) ; Hynek, Jiří (advisor)
Tato práce se zabývá problematikou predikce výsledků fotbalových zápasů v reálném čase. Skládá se z několika kroků, včetně získání vhodného souboru dat a trénování predikčního modelu. Predikční model je reprezentován dvěma typy neuronových sítí: dopředné a rekurentní, která je představená LSTM. Různé kombinace vstupních parametrů jsou testovány pro dosažení nejlepšího výkonu modelů, včetně dostupných sázkových kurzů. Oba modely dosáhly klasifikační přesnosti přibližně 67,5%, kde dopředná neuronová síť začíná od přesnosti 54% na začátku zápasu a dosahuje přesnosti 93,54% na konci zápasu. Kromě široce používaných metrik, jako je kategorická přesnost, každý model je vyhodnocován v simulovaném sázkovém prostředí.Experimenty v rámci hodnocení sázek ukázaly, že LSTM nemůže konkurovat dopředným neuronovým sítím, jelikož v každém sázkovém běhu skončila LSTM s bilancí nižší než o 90%. Dopředná neuronová síť však dosáhla návratnosti investic ve výši 0,39% při provádění simulace sázení s jednou z testovacích konfigurací. Výsledkem je, že neuronové sítě, zejména dopředné, se ukázaly jako docela úspěšné řešení, pokud jde o předpovídání výsledků fotbalových zápasů v reálném čase. Navíc, dopředná neuronová síť může posloužit jako základ pro úspěšnou strategii sázení.

Legal regulation of matchfixing
Michňa, Ivan ; Rajchl, Jiří (advisor) ; Sharp, Vladimír (referee)
Legal regulation of matchfixing - abstract in English This master's thesis focuses on the legal regulation of the phenomenon known as match- fixing, which is the deliberate manipulation of the outcomes of sporting events for the purpose of financial gain or other advantages. The thesis analyses and evaluates the current legal framework in the areas of administrative law, criminal law, and, last but not least, the essentially parallel structure provided by internal regulations issued by sports associations. The work describes sports betting in a broader context and explores ways in which sporting events can be manipulated. It also discusses the possibilities and methods of investigating match-fixing, both conventional and unconventional, which are specific to match-fixing cases. Furthermore, the thesis analyses the legal regulations provided by the Czech legal system and compares them with regulations abroad, particularly in the Federal Republic of Germany. Within the analysis of the Czech legal framework, a comparison is made between the standards of criminal law and administrative law, addressing the extent to which they are interconnected and how this interconnection could be beneficial if rigorously applied. The problem is primarily seen in the underutilization of the legal framework provided by gambling...

Gambling in Computer Games
Beneš, Martin
The Master's thesis focuses on the issue of children and adolescents betting in computer games. It presents a fundamental terminology and principles, which can be found in computer games with elements of betting. It describes systems used for age rating of games and principles of their functioning. It uses a qualitative research method - a form created in Google Forms and distributed via the link. The main research sample consisted of pupils of elementary and secondary schools. There were 255 participants, and their age was between 11 - 18 years. The Master's thesis presents the numbers of gambling children.

Hamáček, Filip ; Hlaváček, Jiří (advisor) ; Cahlík, Tomáš (referee)
The subject of this bachelors thesis is nonrationality of betting. The first part of thesis is discussing different instruments of risk evaluation. The second part is about Petersburg paradox. This thesis tries to find alternative solution to Petersburg paradox using two methods, the first method is based on repeating high amount of petersburg games. The second method is maximizing the probability of economic survival, which is based on wealth of the player and on bound of economic survival. In the third part of this thesis, Sportka (Czech lottery) is compared with special tournament of poker. The goal of this part is to compare the expected return of investment on playing Sportka and on playing poker without even basic notion about rules and the game strategy. For the estimation of the expected value of poker tournament, different game scenarios are considered, probability of scenarios are based on players behavior according to the Nash equilibrium. Keywords: Betting, expected value, Petersburg paradox, lottery, poker, Nash equilibrium
