UNLV is again offering a course this fall called Sports Betting: How to Win Betting on Football. The lessons in sports betting are putting some UNLV officials at odds.

Critics are concerned such courses could compound addiction issues for problem gamblers and the community.

They also worry it could tarnish the university's image as an institution of higher education and a leader in the field of problem gambling.

Class instructor Stephen Nover says the course will feature oddsmakers and other professionals who'll offer tips and share strategies on successful sports gambling. UNLV professor Bill Thompson, a specialist in gambling studies, says the problem with the course is that it uses the university's name and facilities in ways that could undermine its efforts to address the issue of problem gambling.
