Purpose of the study: The purpose of our research is to gain insight into the sports betting habits of university students.
Results: In our survey we can see that 85% of the respondents do research the current form of their team, so a kind of awareness can be found among the players. Almost half of the respondents believe that it is possible to make a living from sports betng, but only 7% actually gamble as a source of livelihood. The majority play in small amounts. Only 55% of those surveyed admit to being addicted to gambling, despite the fact that they bet on a daily basis.

Looking at their sports betng habits, they play both in bookmakers and on the Internet, but the majority like to play alone and only a few of them in company.
