Sports betting products rely upon a balance between their knowledge and chance based structural characteristics. The emphasis by bookmakers on mastering the knowledge-based elements to become winners poses significant challenges for those seeking help for gambling disorder. Bettors find difficulties in integrating their preconceptions about the role of knowledge and skills in winning, into the new cognitive restructuring fostered by cognitive-behavioural therapy. Using a grounded theory approach, this study collected data from 43 Spanish sports bettors undergoing treatment for gambling disorder. The results suggest sports bettors neutralize some gambling-related cognitive distortions during CBT but retain others. Sports bettors try to eliminate them but encounter external validation to retain them, as well as internal incongruences to integrate them into a coherent understanding of how gambling works. The results are discussed with the aim of providing practical guidance as to how skill versus chance related persistent cognitions can be addressed in CBT.

为什么有些体育投注者认为赌博成瘾阻止他们成为赢家?定性的方法来了解知识在体育博彩产品中的作用

体育博彩产品依赖于其知识与基于机会的结构特征之间的平衡。博彩公司着重于掌握基于知识的元素以成为赢家,这对寻求帮助赌博障碍的人构成了重大挑战。投注者难以将对知识和技能在获胜中的作用的先入之见整合到由认知行为疗法促进的新的认知重构中。本研究采用扎实的理论方法,收集了来自43位接受赌博疾病治疗的西班牙体育投注者的数据。结果表明,体育博彩者在CBT期间抵消了一些与赌博相关的认知扭曲,但保留了其他认知扭曲。体育博彩者试图消除它们,但是遇到外部验证以保留它们,以及内部不一致之处,以使他们对赌博的运作方式有一个一致的了解。讨论结果的目的是为如何在CBT中解决技能与机会相关的持久性认知提供实践指导。
