    In my new book, I tried to highlight the problematics of problem gambling from various points of view. I have sought to apply economic and psychological examination methods at all times. Since the technical literature is continuously growing, I have tried to take into consideration the newest research results up to the moment of closure. I have expanded the theoretical dissertation with personal investigations in each subchapter, which were established on primary and secondary data sources depending on the topic. The objective of my paper is the introduction and examination of gambling behaviour - appearing as a harmful passion.

      1.1. The objective, the aspects of writing

      In my paper, I tried to highlight the problematics of problem gambling from various points of view. I have sought to apply economic and psychological examination methods at all times. Since the technical literature is continuously growing, I have tried to take into consideration the newest research results up to the moment of closure. I have expanded the theoretical dissertation with personal investigations in each subchapter, which were established on primary and secondary data sources depending on the topic. The objective of my paper is the introduction and examination of gambling behaviour - appearing as a harmful passion.

      It has been far from the thinking of economists to consider the economic characters’ inner, psychical processes as a factor (Friedman 1986). In my paper I undertook the introduction and investigation of a research theme, which - openly or covertly - touches upon this issue, that is I attempted to explore the economic- psychological aspects of the issue of problem gambling. The human image of neoclassical economy applied the simplification that the consumers should decide and implement their economic transactions perfectly according to rational preferences and without any uncertainty (Jolls 1998).

      According to my point of view, the study of problem gambling player is possible as a temporally dynamic, but inconsistent decision instead of a line of static decisions. This research topic is suitable for the examination of what would happen if the consumer would not behave consistently regarding the implementation of his or her economic transactions. In my research - besides the examination of abnormal behaviour patterns related to gambling - I have focused on trust and the role of emotions, in respect of gambling game and the formation of problem gambling.

      1.2. Justification of the topic

      If we would like to understand what kind of problematic phenomena are related to the organization and activity of gambling, the first and most fundamental question is the number of gambling addicts. After the introduction of the earlier theories, of experiments and models examining gambling, I have undertaken the exposition of questions concerning emotions, responsibility, externalities and prevention. Into the scope of my investigation the question of trust also got included, and during the processing of earlier research results I drew the conclusion that Internet sales and gambling market increased less than expected, and it is due - among others - to the lack of trust towards the sales channel. I do not agree with the standpoint that the corporate social responsibility is difficult to attune with the requirement of profit orientation, but unfortunately we frequently meet with the PR (marketing) approach of the question in practice. I have elaborated and I introduce a concrete method which can be applied in practice as well in the predictive analytical chapter to recognize prevention and problem gambling in time.

      Nowadays, problem gambling are spreading more and more in Hungary and in other parts of the world as well. As a consequence, the number of people struggling with gambling is growing dynamically, too. In my paper, I study the number of involved persons, and the measurement methods, which offer possibility to accurately determine this. The detection of emotions’ role has been only addressed by economists recently (Mérő, 2010) but it greatly helps to understand the motivation of addictions. Similarly, attitude investigations are important elements for the recognition of players' gambling addicts, my examinations referring to this are also contained by the paper.

      I studied the connection between crime and problem gambling as well, on the basis of a data survey performed between December 2009 and March 2010 in three penal institutions in which I examined the gaming habits, demographic characteristics and the relations of these regarding 140 inmates right before going into prison.According to my best knowledge a statistical investigation of this nature has not been prepared in Hungarian penal institutions yet. In 2015 and in 2019 we repeated our prison research using the same methodology.

      The phenomenon of problem gambling can be taken a look from a social context as well and we can find a number of such consequences which I classified into the topic of externalities. Some of the budget items discussed
