Impulsivity as measure by delay discounting and entrapment have been known to influence gambling, but their individual and joint influence on problem gambling among Soccer gamblers are not yet understood. We examine the direct and moderation influences of entrapment and delay discounting on problem gambling among 174 Soccer gamblers in Nigeria. Data were obtained by means of self-report questionnaires of entrapment, delay discounting and problem gambling. Results from Hayes PROCESS moderated regression showed that delay discounting moderated the association between entrapment and problem gambling such that the association between entrapment and problem gambling was strong when delay discounting was high and diminished when delay discounting was low. Our findings provide insight into the conditional effect of delay discounting on the entrapment-problem gambling association.

众所周知，通过延迟折扣和诱捕来衡量的冲动性会影响赌博，但它们对足球赌徒中问题赌博的个人和共同影响尚不清楚。我们在尼日利亚的 174 名足球赌徒中研究了诱捕和延迟折扣对问题赌博的直接和适度影响。数据是通过诱捕、延迟折扣和问题赌博的自我报告问卷获得的。Hayes PROCESS 调节回归的结果表明，延迟折扣调节了诱捕和问题赌博之间的关联，因此当延迟折扣高时诱捕和问题赌博之间的关联很强，而当延迟折扣低时，诱捕和问题赌博之间的关联减弱。
