In their review of Internet gambling studies, Auer and Griffiths (Soc Sci Comput Rev 20(3):312-320, 2013) question the validity of using bet size as an indicator of gambling intensity. Instead, Auer and Griffiths suggest using "theoretical loss" as a preferable measure of gambling intensity. This comment identifies problems with their argument and suggests a convergent rather than an exclusionary approach to Internet gambling measures and analysis.
在对互联网赌博研究的综述中,奥尔和格里菲思(《社会科学计算机评论》20(3):312 - 320, 2013)对将赌注大小用作赌博强度指标的有效性提出质疑。相反,奥尔和格里菲思建议使用“理论损失”作为衡量赌博强度的更优指标。本评论指出了他们论点中存在的问题,并建议对互联网赌博的测量和分析采用一种趋同而非排他的方法。
