Course Content

Introduction to problem gambling 101
For as long as humans have gambled, there has been appre- hension about excessive risk-taking and intemperate gambling. Histories of gamblers who lose control recur through the centu- ries, and from early times their behavior was labeled an addiction (France, 1902, cited by Wildman, 1997). In early Roman law, the original addict was a debtor (Rosenthal, 1992) who, because he could not pay what he owed, was brought into court and enslaved (Glare, 1982; Wissowa, 1984). Hence, judges pronouncing sen- tence could make the addict the slave of his creditor.

Great clarity in explanations and thoroughly enjoyed the course. I had been working out for quite a while, but a few little things we might miss out from a diet perspective are covered well in detail here.
Especially loved how you structured the entire focus area of dieting into most important ones to lesser ones.
