This study examined how recent losses predict the frequency of play in online betting. Previous studies have suggested that players tend to decrease betting volume and consequently take on less risk after a losing session. We used a daily panel of actual gambling data and survival regression to investigate how incurring losses predicts the duration to the next betting day. Our main findings were that, after a losing betting day, a bettor typically abstained from betting for a 27% longer time than after a day he or she broke even. Further, we found that either untypically high wins or loses significantly predicted the amount of time to the next gambling event. This study adds to the gambling literature by presenting evidence on a reduction in betting activity following a losing session.
本研究考察了近期亏损如何预测在线博彩的频率。先前的研究表明，玩家在输钱后往往会减少投注量，从而承担的风险也相应降低。我们使用实际博彩数据的每日面板和生存回归来研究亏损如何预测下一个博彩日的持续时间。我们的主要发现是，在输掉博彩日之后，赌徒通常会比在收支平衡日之后更长时间地避免下注，通常要多 27%。此外，我们发现，要么是非典型的高赢要么是输会显著预测下一次赌博活动的时间。本研究通过提供关于在输钱后减少投注活动的证据，为赌博文献做出了贡献。
