The Betting Research Unit (BRU) at Nottingham Business School, Nottingham Trent University, is involved in the investigation and analysis of betting and gaming markets and issues. Formed in 1995 the unit undertakes privately commissioned contracts and reports as well as research at the forefront of the international academic literature, and is available for consultancy work and media enquiries.
The Unit is available for advice and consultation on all matters to do with betting and gaming including:

• policy analysis
• taxation and regulation issues
• modelling, forecasting and data analysis
• sports spread betting
• financial spread betting
• betting exchanges
• fixed odds and pool betting
• remote and internet betting
• online gaming

The Unit has acted widely in an advisory role to the betting and gaming industries, as well as more generally to the Government and commercial sectors, and has well-developed links with research institutions throughout the world.
The work of BRU has attracted widespread attention from the media and has been featured regularly on national television and radio as well as in news outlets ranging from the Racing Post and the Daily Mail to the Investors’ Chronicle, the Economist and the Wall Street Journal.
