THE BOYS’ CLUB: AN EXPLORATION INTO THE SOCIAL WORLD OF A LAS VEGAS CASINO SPORTS BOOK By Frederick William Krauss Bachelor of Arts Allegheny College 2001 Master of Arts University of Nevada, Las Vegas 2003 A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology Department of Sociology College of Liberal Arts Graduate College University of Nevada, Las Vegas May 2010 Copyright by Frederick William Krauss 2010 All Rights Reserved THE GRADUATE COLLEGE We recommend the dissertation prepared under our supervision by Frederick William Krauss entitled The Boys’ Club: An Exploration into the Social World of a Las Vegas Casino Sports Book be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology Robert Futrell, Committee Chair Bo Bernhard, Committee Member Andrea Fontana, Committee Member David Schwartz, Graduate Faculty Representative Ronald Smith, Ph. D., Vice President for Research and Graduate Studies and Dean of the Graduate College May 2010 ii ABSTRACT The Boys’ Club: An Exploration into the Social World of a Las Vegas Casino Sports Book by Frederick William Krauss Dr. Robert Futrell, Examination Committee Chair Associate Professor of Sociology University of Nevada, Las Vegas This ethnography of the La Mesa Casino Sports Book explores the characteristics that frame the social world its regular patrons create. Specifically, I explain the characteristics of La Mesa’s sports bettors, the types of people who bet on sports, the mechanisms used to sustain participation in the scene, and how the sports bettors view themselves, their social world, and those outside of it. I argue that regular sports book patrons do not use the environment simply for sports betting. Rather, their complex interactional dynamics create a robust social world they come back to again and again to create a meaningful social world or community. My observations reveal the existence of a hierarchal order among bettors; they abide by both formal rules of conduct regulated by the casino and informal rules of conduct that are governed by La Mesa regulars. Regulars participate in ritualistic behavior, develop social bonds with like patrons, and combine different styles of expression and interaction to create a male-dominated home away from home. More broadly, Las Mesa regulars create a sense of community in the sports book. One implication is that we may have to look in seemingly unusual places to understand how and where community is created. In Las Vegas, the sports book is one such unusual space for camaraderie, social cohesion, and community. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation is dedicated to memory of Dr. Fred Preston (1941-2009) First and foremost, I want to thank my advisor Dr. Robert Futrell, as none of this could be possible without his guidance, instruction, and mentorship. I am forever grateful for his commitment to me and this study and all that he has taught me through this entire process. I also want to express my deep appreciation for the rest of my committee members: Dr. Bo Bernhard, Dr. David Schwartz, Dr. Andrea Fontana, and the late Dr. Fred Preston. I am extremely humbled to have such an esteemed and supportive committee. Their influence on my academic career is immeasurable. I want to also to take this opportunity to thank several of my professors who played a significant role in my doctoral program. I first have to thank Dr Kate Korgan. The completion of this degree would not have been possible without her never-ending support, positive words of encouragement, and overall kindness. Next, I have to thank Dr. David Dickens, my very first sociology professor, who introduced me to the field and encouraged me to pursue my doctorate. I also want thank Dr. Ron Smith, Dr. Simon Gottschalk, Dr. Jennifer Keene, Dr. Ana Prokos, Dr. Barb Brents, and Dr. Donald Carns, who each contributed to my education in the sociology program. I want to thank my friends and colleagues who provided me with strong moral and emotional support over the years.

Boyd School of Law, Katty Sievers, Justin Grim, Bob Tarter, Courtney Devine, Richard Yien and Adam Hughes; it has been a real pleasure in sharing the unique experience of being a part-time law student with all of you and I appreciate your friendship and all your words of encouragement while I juggled law school and writing my dissertation. Lastly, and most importantly, I want to thank my family. First, I want to thank my cousins, Marge Labotka, Julie Neuman, Frank Neuman, and Margie Neuman, for always being there for me in both the good and difficult times. I also want to thank my father, Dan Feldhauser, and Pauline Hatfield for their emotional support. I want to thank my best friends in the world, my brothers, Daniel Krauss and Ralph Krauss. Their unconditionally love, support, and friendship has meant everything to me. I am blessed to have such wonderful brothers. Also, I want to thank Carissa Krauss, who is not only a great sister-in-law, but an even better friend. And, I have to thank the pride and joys of my life, my nephew Braden and my nieces Adria and Evelyn. Every day is a true blessing to be an uncle to such amazing kids. They are my heart and soul. Finally, I owe everything to my mother, Sarah Krauss. I am truly honored to be her son. She has been there for me at every step of the way and has taught me so much throughout my life. She has made me the person I am today. I love you, Mom. v TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ................................................................................................................. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ........................................................................................... iv CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION .............................................................................. 1 Broad Issues ...................................................................................................... 2 Purpose of Study ............................................................................................... 5 Conceptual Focus .............................................................................................. 7 CHAPTER 2 LITERATURE REVIEW ................................................................... 9 The Rise of Sports Gambling .......................................................................... 10 Gender and Sport ............................................................................................ 14 Gambling and Gender ..................................................................................... 18 Third Places .................................................................................................... 21 Social Worlds .................................................................................................. 25 Interaction Order ............................................................................................. 27 Sociological Significance of Research ............................................................ 30 CHAPTER 3 METHODOLOGY .......................................................................... 33 Researcher’s Background ............................................................................... 33 Choosing the Casino Sports Book .................................................................. 38 Research Process ............................................................................................. 41 CHAPTER 4 THE SPORTS BOOK...................................................................... 47 Hanging Out in the Sports Book: NFL Season, Day One............................... 47 The Social World of

  • 'This Is How We Joke'. Towards an Appreciation of Alternative Values In
    100 EBHR-41 ‘This is How we Joke’. Towards an appreciation of alternative values in performances of gender irony among the Gaddi of Himachal Anja Wagner What do we make of the jokes and irony that we encounter during our fieldwork, in particular in the realm of gender relations? Jokes and ironic performances have been a rather neglected field of anthropological inquiry. In an article on practices of flirting, teasing, and sexual joking, Caroline and Fillipo Osella have drawn attention to the significance of ambiguity, indeterminacy and ambivalence as values in the context of South Asian anthropology (Osella and Osella 2000). Their analysis of flirting by youth in Kerala, and of the joking involved therein as a form of play, offers an alternative to the established framework of hierarchy and hierarchical relations that commonly forms the basis for anthropological analysis in the South Asian context. The present article discusses this approach vis-à-vis the established approach of seeing performances that portray alternative values as discourses of subversion or resistance to dominant power structures. I thereby follow Osella and Osella’s focus on the recognition of ambiguity and irony as values in and of themselves in my investigation of performances of gender irony and joking by women in Northwest India. My argument draws on fieldwork conducted in the district of Kangra in the state of Himachal Pradesh between 2006 and 2009. Kangra women and their oral performances are known within anthropology through Kirin Narayan’s work on songs (1986, 1997), but here I am concerned with a different kind of performance and a different section of Kangra’s population, namely Gaddi women.

  • Procity," and Those Entering Into It "Clan Reciprocals."
    CLANS AND THE JOKING-RELATIONSHIP AM.fONG THE PLATEAU TONGA OF NORTHERN RHODESIA E. Colson Formalized joking between clans has been reported from many tribes in British Central Africa(1), Tew has attempted to place the joking be- tween clans within the wider context of the funeral friendship which exists in one form or another from the Zambezi River in the south to Lake Tanganyika in the north and from the east ooast to the Luangwa river(2). Radcliffe-Brown has also dealt with the subject in his analysis of the general nature of joking relationships(3),. The Tonga are thus not unique in practising such jloking. This paper does not report any new phenomenon, nor shall I attempt within it to develop any new theory of the nature of joking relationships. I am limit- ing myself to a description of the relationship as it exists among the Plateau Tonga. Despite Tew's suggestion that "tfuneral friendshiptt should be adopted as a descriptive term to cover the phenomenon as it occurs in this area, I shall use the old form "clan joking relationship" since among the Tonga the funeral is only one, and perhaps not the most important, situation in which the relationship operates. Indeed,' one could cavil at either term, since neither joking nor funeral duties effectively define. the relationship. In many situations clans perform reciprocal services for each other. One might therefore call the institution, "clan reci- procity," and those entering into it "clan reciprocals." The Plateau Tonga are a Bantu-speaking people living in what is now the Mazabuka District of the Southern Province of Northern Rhodesia.

    Stand: 20/11/02 Max-Planck-Institut für ethnologische Forschung Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology Workshop: Friendship, descent and alliance. New perspectives on social integration and dissociation in changing African societies 16th - 18th December 2002 Venue: MPI for Social Anthropology, Halle/Saale List of abstracts (in alphabetical order) Mario I. Aguilar (University of St. Andrews) From age-sets to friendship networks: The continuity of soda among the Boorana of East Africa Within the anthropological study of kinship and friendship there is the danger of stressing one or the other following anthropological fashions. Thus, if from the beginnings of social anthropology as a social methodology kinship was over stressed, the contemporary study of friendship can also become a fashionable subject. In this paper that follows my previous study on friendship among Boorana high- school students (Aguilar 2000) I attempt to locate the study of Boorana and indeed African friendship within the development of social structures of descent and alliance. The Boorana had a very strong system of kinship structured through age-sets and age-grades within a structural sociability known as the gada system. While the system is not any longer viable within politics it permeates relations between male and female, kin (soda) and enemies, Boorana and non-Boorana. Therefore this paper locates the relation between kinship and friendship in a parallel stream of sociability in which the Boorana perceive the two social categories as identical, while outsiders perceive them as different. The paper’s conclusions argue that (i) if friendship is a culturally constructed category that develops through social action, any study of its social manifestations requires the methodological assumption that any study of social performances of friendship also require a diachronic study of kinship; and (ii) friendship is part of an extended social structure that allows social integration for members that have experienced dissociation.

  • The Joking Relationship and Kinship: Charting a Theoretical Dependency
    JASO 24/3 (1993): 251-263 THE JOKING RELATIONSHIP AND KINSHIP: CHARTING A THEORETICAL DEPENDENCY ROBERT PARKIN ALTHOUGH the anthropology of jokes and of humour generally is a relatively new phenomenon (see, for example, Apte 1985)" the anthropology of joking has a long history. It has been taken up at some point or another by most of the main theoreticians of the subject and their treatment of it often serves to characterize their general approach; moreover, there can be few anthropologists who have not enoountered it and had to deal with it in the field. What has stimulated anthropologists is the fact that societies are almost invariably internally differentiated in some way and that one does not joke with everyone. The very fact that joking has to involve at least two people ensures its social character, while the requirement not to joke is equally obviously a social injunction. The questions anthropologists have asked themselves are, why the difference, and how is it manifested in any particular society? This is a revised version of a paper first given on 26 June 1989 at the Institut fUr Ethnologie, Freie UniversiUit Berlin, in a seminar series chaired by Dr Burkhard Schnepel and entitled 'The Fool in Social Anthropological Perspective'. A German version was presented subsequently at the Deutsche Gesellschaft filr VOlkerkunde conference in Munich on 18 October 1991 and is to be published in due course in a book edited by Dr Schnepel and Dr Michael Kuper. In the present version certain aspects of the material argument have been modified, though the style of the original oral delivery has been left largely untouched.

  • The Aspirational Facet of Kinship Talk During Times Of
    bs_bs_banner Life during wartime: aspirational kinship and the management of insecurity Mike McGovern University of Michigan This article explores the ways that the institution of the avunculate has been used as an idiom for negotiating forced displacement, dispossession, and insecurity in the forested region where modern-day Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Côte d’Ivoire converge. The essay analyses the ways that the rights and responsibilities that inhere in the MB-ZS relationship are both invoked ‘aspirationally’ by those with no prior link of kinship and parried by those who should in principle be bound by them. This degree of play suggests that the avunculate in this region is best understood as one of several idioms used to legitimate claims made on others, often in times of uncertainty and instability. Rather than treat this relationship as an always-already existing social institution, the article suggests that it is also the product of a historical experience of persistent warfare, displacement, and flight. How does a refugee manage her arrival in a village where she knows no one? When talking with Loma-speakers in southeastern Guinea about the ways that people are related to one another, men in particular often refer to the institution of Mother’s Brother-Sister’s Son (keke-daabe) relations to explain their mutual rights and respon- sibilities. However, as I describe below, these ostensible rights and responsibilities are flouted or cancelled out as often as they are respected. Meanwhile, the stranger arriving in a new village might at first seem to be excluded from such pre-existing relations.
