Youth Sports Gambling - AI
This exploration was the basis of the "ChatGPT Meets the Implications Wheel" first experiment. It includes only one complete "arc" and was primarily focused on testing ChatGPT on creating "centers" and generating possible first-order and second-order implications. The exploration was not scored.
Details of the Center
The center details were generated by ChatGPT:
"What are some key points of youth involved in sports gambling?"
Youth are at a greater risk for developing gambling problems due to their vulnerability and lack of life experience.
Sports gambling can be particularly appealing to youth because of their interest in sports and the social aspect of betting with friends.
The easy access to online sports betting platforms can make it more difficult for parents and guardians to monitor their children's gambling activity.
Youth who engage in sports gambling may be more likely to experience negative consequences such as financial problems, academic difficulties, and mental health issues.
"What are some key statistics on your sports gambling?"
There is limited research on the prevalence of youth sports gambling specifically, but some studies suggest that:
According to a 2018 study, nearly 10% of 8th graders and nearly 20% of 12th graders in the United States reported gambling on sports in the past year.
A 2019 study found that around 15% of youth aged 14-21 in the United Kingdom had placed a bet on sports in the past year.
A 2020 survey found that around 4% of adolescents aged 12-17 in the United States reported gambling on sports in the past year.
A 2021 study found that around 9% of college students in the United States reported gambling on sports in the past month.
It's important to note that these statistics may vary depending on the region, the population being studied, and the definition of youth used in the research. Also, these statistics may have changed due to the knowledge cut-off of my data.
Note: ChatGPT data has "limited information after 2021" at the time of this experiment.
