Predicting Problem Gambling in Young Men: The Impact of Sports Gambling Frequency and Internalizing SymptomsYoung men aged 18-25 years are at disproportionately increased risk for gambling problems compared to their older or female counterparts. The unique mechanisms that precipitate these problems in this group remain unclear.
