Default Writing paper on poker for research paper.

Hey guys,


Do you think there are many refutable sources to write a paper on poker as an investment? I need 8 sources, and a couple from newspapers/journals. I think I can use some from legalization standpoints as there should be some articles written about poker in that form, but here is my thesis:

"Poker is an effective investment vehicle that may be utilized to produce a controlled rate of return despite recent legistlative restrictions and [other things]. "

It was originally something else, but with the help of others directions it has evolved to this and is now heading directly into where I think it may be a good idea to try this.

Here is my first link(and easy one) I found:
http://www.johnkay.com/in_action/483

I am going to the library tomm. for class and should come out with 5-6+ more articles, I hope.

What I am looking for is some general guidance and some help finding refutable sources as well as if anyone thinks this is a good idea for a research paper(It is only a freshman class, I have done very well up to this point at it, and it is only going to be like 2k words, so this isn't a master thesis or anything)

i dont think you can really call it "controlled" but predictable might be a better word

You're looking for "refutable" sources? Kinda like the security guard who told me about watching over all the cuticles at work.

lol, thats funny.

but not as funny as the OP b/c he meant to say (presumably) reputable (i.e. solid reputation; irrefutable)

and instead said the antonym: refutable lol

No idea why I put refutable.

Probably because of the amount of hours I had just finished playing poker mixed with the amount of hours that I was awake at the time. Mixed with the point that I had just read the paper on our topics and it said "Most include one refutation." So yea, I'm an idiot.

Anyone have any reputable sources? Those would be excellent. I have found a couple off USA Today and NY Times, and am looking for more. I will update thread in the Full Ring Forum as I write the paper.
