OT: Research Paper on Poker

[TheProdigy]

Ok guys, this may not be allowed but I am going to see.

Doing a research paper for my freshman English class, and I must choose a topic that is controversial in my major. My major is finance/investing, so I am choosing poker as an investment topic.

My thesis statement might be something along the lines of this(so I can incorporate the legality issues online recently as well as some other aspects of it):

"Although some may question the legality and investment qualities of poker, it can be controlled and used as a positive way to invest your money."

I just got this topic and just wrote that right now, so it isn't all that good but I want to be able to incorporate the legality issues and be able to argue those things as well as being able to argue it's a skill game and maybe some other topics can be included if I think of them.

What I need from you guys(If this is allowed):
I have to have 8 sources. A couple from books and newspapers/journals, and some online ones as well. Do you guys know any articles that have been written on this subject that I could use in my paper? I will obviously be looking this up on my own but she wants me to have 8 sources early since this is a "unique" topic so to be able to write it I have to have a lot of sources very quickly. Thanks guys!
